Quadro FX 3400: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started Quadro FX 3400 sales 28 June 2004. This is a Curie architecture desktop card based on 130 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 256 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 0.45 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 28.8 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. 1x 6-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 101 Watt.
