GeForce 8400: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce 8400 sales 4 December 2007 at a recommended price of $69.78 . This is a desktop graphics card based on a Tesla architecture and made with 65 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 256 MB of DDR2 memory clocked at 1 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 8 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 25 Watt.
