NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS PCI Rev. 2: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce 8400 GS PCI Rev. 2 sales 17 April 2007. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Tesla 2.0 architecture and made with 40 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 512 MB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1000 MBps 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 PCI interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 40 Watt.
