NVIDIA NV1: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started NV1 sales 30 September 1995 at a recommended price of $299 . This is desktop card based on 500 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 2 MB of EDO memory clocked at 0.06 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 480.0 MB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCI interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 191 mm. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 2 Watt.
We have no data on NV1 benchmark results.

Size and compatibility
This section provides details about the physical dimensions of NV1 and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).
Interface | PCI | |
Length | 191 mm | |
Width | 1-slot | |
Supplementary power connectors | None |
Memory
Parameters of memory installed on NV1: 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 | EDO | |
Maximum RAM amount | 2 MB | of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X) |
Memory bus width | 64 Bit | of 19000 (GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB) |
Memory clock speed | 60 MHz | of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER) |
Memory bandwidth | 480.0 MB/s | of 3276 (Aldebaran) |
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on NV1. 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 | 1x VGA |
API support
APIs supported by NV1, sometimes including their particular versions.
DirectX | 1.0 | |
OpenGL | N/A | of 4.6 (GeForce RTX 4090) |
OpenCL | N/A | |
Vulkan | N/A |
