Dimensions and compatibility
Information on GeForce 8400M GS'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 | MXM-I |
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on GeForce 8400M GS: 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 | GDDR2 / GDDR3 | |
| Maximum RAM amount | 256 MB | of 128 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory bus width | 64 Bit | of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X) |
| Memory clock speed | 600 MHz | of 22400 (GeForce RTX 4080) |
| Memory bandwidth | 6.4 GB/s | of 14400 (Radeon R7 M260) |
| Shared memory | - |
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on GeForce 8400M GS. 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 support
APIs supported by GeForce 8400M GS, sometimes including their particular versions.
| DirectX | 11.1 (10_0) | |
| Shader Model | 4.0 | |
| OpenGL | 3.3 | of 4.6 (GeForce GTX 1080 Mobile) |
| OpenCL | 1.1 | |

| CUDA | 1.1 |
Benchmark performance
Synthetic benchmark performance of GeForce 8400M GS. Overall performance is measured in points in 0-100 range.
- Passmark
Passmark
This is probably the most ubiquitous benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
