Summary
About the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GTO GPU
The NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GTO is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q2 2004. It is built on the Curie GPU microarchitecture (codename NV45) and is manufactured on a 130 nm process.
Memory
The 6800 GTO has 256 MB of GDDR3 memory, with a 500 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 32 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.
Cores and Clock Speeds
The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 350 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 12 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 12 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.
Compatibility & Power Consumption
The 6800 GTO occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports DVI display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's power consumption. Using a smaller power supply may result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
