About the NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2009. It is built on the Tesla GPU microarchitecture (codename G94B) and is manufactured on a 55 nm process.

Memory

The GT 230 has 512 MB of GDDR3 memory, with a 900 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 57.6 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 GT 230 includes 48 CUDA cores, the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 650 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 24 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 16 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The GT 230 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 250 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 75 W.
