Technical specs
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 | 350 MHz | 143 MHz |
Number of transistors | 222 million | 20 million |
Manufacturing process technology | 130 nm | 180 nm |
Power consumption (TDP) | 101 Watt | no data |

Size and compatibility
Information on Quadro FX 3400 and Quadro2 Go 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 | PCIe 1.0 x16 | AGP 4x |
Width | 1-slot | no data |
Supplementary power connectors | 1x 6-pin | None |
Memory
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 | GDDR3 | DDR |
Maximum RAM amount | 256 MB | 32 MB |
Memory bus width | 256 Bit | 64 Bit |
Memory clock speed | 900 MHz | 362 MHz |
