Form factor & compatibility
Information on GeForce 8400M G's compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
| Interface | PCIe 1.0 x16 | |
| Supplementary power connectors | None |
VRAM capacity and type
Parameters of memory installed on GeForce 8400M G: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.
| Memory type | GDDR3 / GDDR2 | |
| Maximum RAM amount | 256 MB | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
| Memory bus width | 64 Bit | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory clock speed | 600 MHz | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
| Memory bandwidth | 6.4 GB/s | of 3276 (Aldebaran) |
| Shared memory | - |
Connectivity and outputs
Types and number of video connectors present on GeForce 8400M G. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.
| Display Connectors | No outputs |
API compatibility
APIs supported by GeForce 8400M G, sometimes including their particular versions.
| DirectX | 11.1 (10_0) | |
| Shader Model | 4.0 | |
| OpenGL | 3.3 | of 4.6 (GeForce RTX 4090) |
| OpenCL | 1.1 | |
