About the NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 500 GPU

The NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 500 is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q4 2001 with a MSRP of $349. It is built on the Kelvin GPU microarchitecture (codename NV20) and is manufactured on a 150 nm process.

Memory

The 3 Ti 500 has 64 MB of DDR memory, with a 250 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 8 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 240 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 8 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The 3 Ti 500 is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports DVI, VGA, S-Video 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.
