GeForce 8300 GS: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce 8300 GS sales 17 April 2007. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Tesla architecture and made with 80 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 128 MB of DDR2 memory clocked at 0.4 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 6.4 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 40 Watt.
