Nvidia GeForce 9400GT

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:00:51 -0400

Launched late in August 2008, the GeForce 9400GT is the long awaited budget model based on the 9th generation of Nvidia's GeForce graphics card design. With an MSRP of $59 and years ahead of competing onboard video from the likes of Intel, the 9400GT is nothing to skoff at. Designed to display desktop resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 and makes viewing high definition content a breeze, the 9400GT can also handle light gaming on lower resolutions. While the 9400GT does offer new levels of graphics and media processing power at a new low in terms of pricing, the technology is far from bleeding edge. With the 10th generation of Nvidia cards now months into mainstream use, the 9400GT is in simply an overclocked previous generation 8500GT.

XFX PVT88PYDF4 GeForce 8800GT

Mon, 29 Oct 2007 13:32:43 -0400

The GeForce 8800GT is a video card that is gathering a large amount of support from the enthusiast press, and enthusiastic gamers. People are buzzing about the 8800GT because it competes with the high-end offerings by NVidia and AMD on performance while falling in mid-range pricing, costing up to half of the high-end parts. The 8800GT is meant to fall between the 8800GTS and GTX processors, but benchmarks show the GT often outperforming the GTS and matching the GTX. Similar to the GTS, NVidia include a dedicated video processing chip to handle media encoding/decoding, offloading those calculations from the CPU. The 65nm process makes for a cooler running card allowing a slim cooling solution that takes only one slot, instead of the two that the higher-end cards use. XFX's offering of the 8800GT comes bundled with a free copy of Company of Heroes, a lifetime warranty, and uses NVidia's reference cooling design of a slimline fan.

The Chip

The 8800GT is built off the code name G92 architecture, which is a derivative of the G80 architecture that provides the foundation for the 8800GTS/GTX systems. The main changes made to the G92 are the 65nm production process, and rolling in the display, and video processing chips directly into the GPU. The number of transistors has increased from 681 million to 754 million. Despite the larger number of transistors, the G92 chip is almost half the size of the G80 and consumes significantly less power, due to the 65nm technology.

Differences with GTS and GTX

The 8800GT features less texture and stream processing capabilities than its more expensive brethren. The GT also has a narrower memory bus between the GPU and the video RAM, however actual memory bandwidth is only 10% less than that found on the GTS due to the higher clockspeed found on the GT. In real world applications the smaller bandwidth becomes an issue when running at resolutions near 1080p and above, with anti-aliasing active.

Nvidia GeForce 9500GT

Fri, 19 Sep 2008 11:41:58 -0400

The 9500 GT and its G96 graphics processor is fundamentally just a respin of the 8600 GT and its G84 graphics processor. The G96 retains its 32 shader processors, 8 ROPs, and 16 TMUs. The G96 is manufactured using 65 nanometer (nm) technology, and allows for cheaper mass production than the 80 nanometer G84 graphics processor. As a result of the die shrink, power consumption and heat output were reduced, and the scalability (for the most part) increased.

The 9500 GT is DirectX 10 compliant and is offered as a "budget mainstream" graphics card, offering decent performance for its intended audience. The 32 shader processors are CUDA complient and as such makes the 9500 GT suitable for many forms of "GPGPU" computing. G96 also offers onboard PureVideo HD video decoding and can offload 100% of H.264 video decoding from the CPU, resulting in reduced power consumption. Though not standard on all 9500 GT models, the G96 supports native HDMI and Display Port interfaces and is HDCP compliant.
