Detailed Specifications
General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core base clock and boost clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results. Note that power consumption of some graphics cards can well exceed their nominal TDP, especially when overclocked.
| Core clock speed | 200 MHz | 295 MHz |
| Number of transistors | 57 million | 82 million |
| Manufacturing process technology | 150 nm | 130 nm |
| Texture fill rate | 0.8 | 1.180 |
Form Factor & Compatibility
Information on Quadro DCC and Quadro FX Go1000 compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). 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 | AGP 4x | AGP 4x |
| Width | 1-slot | no data |
| Supplementary power connectors | None | no data |
VRAM Capacity and Type
Parameters of VRAM installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Integrated GPUs have no dedicated video RAM and use a shared part of system RAM.
| Memory type | SDR | DDR |
| Maximum RAM amount | 64 MB | 128 MB |
| Memory bus width | 128 Bit | 128 Bit |
| Memory clock speed | 230 MHz | 570 MHz |
