Andrey Vorobiev; November 15, 2009.

On the example of ZOTAC GeForce GTS 250 1024MB DDR3 (756/2300 MHz).

Features:

  • GPU: GeForce 9800 GTX (G92)
  • 1024 MB GDDR3 SDRAM in 8 Hynix chips on the front side; 1250 (2500) MHz peak clock rate
  • Interface: PCI-Express x16
  • GPU (ROPs/Shaders) clock rate: 756/1890 MHz (738/1836 MHz nominal)
  • Memory clock rate, physical (effective): 1150 (2300) MHz (1100 (2200) MHz nominal)
  • Bus width: 256-bit
  • Vertex processors: -
  • Pixel processors: -
  • Unified processors: 128
  • Texture processors: 64 (BLF/TLF)
  • ROPs: 16
  • Size: 220x100x32 mm (the latter is max. width)
  • PCB color: green
  • RAMDACs/TDMS: integrated into GPU
  • Outputs: 2 x DVI (Dual-Link/HDMI)
  • VIVO: -
  • Multi-GPU: Hardware SLI


This card requires a DVI-to-D-Sub adapter to be connected to an analog monitor with a D-Sub interface.

Maximum resolutions and frequencies:

  • 240 Hz maximum refresh rate
  • 2048 x 1536 x 32bit @ 85Hz Max - analog interface
  • 2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz Max - digital interface (all Dual-Link DVIs)

MPEG2 playback (DVD-Video) was analyzed back in 2002 and little has changed since that time. Modern graphics cards do not load CPUs during video playback by more than 25%.

The HDTV review is available here.

We thank ZOTAC
for the provided graphics card.
