GeForce 100 Series

The Geforce 100 series is a series of desktop graphics chip company Nvidia, which is only available on the OEM market.

The series was created from the marketing need to classify the existing graphics chips Geforce 9 series in the new naming scheme of the previously published short Geforce 200 series. Thus, the Geforce 100 series is to be classified, despite its name chronologically after the Geforce 200 series, but technically identical to the GeForce 9 series.

  • 3.1 Performance

Technical

The chips of the GeForce 100 series are identical to the respective chips of the GeForce 9- series and therefore all support Shader Model 4.0 (SM 4.0 ) to DirectX 10, OpenGL 3.3, CUDA and PhysX with it.

Naming

The Geforce 100 series is a similar naming scheme as it has been used for the Geforce 200 series, for use. All graphics chips are identified by a letter abbreviation for the classification of the power sector as well as a three-digit number that generally begins with a "1 " ( for Geforce 100). The last two digits are used for further differentiation within each service sector. Since the previously published Geforce 200 series already covered the high- end market, the abbreviation was not used in the GTX 100 series.

  • G - low-budget
  • GT - Mainstream
  • GTS - Performance
  • GTX - high-end

Source of confusion that Nvidia had and the Geforce 100 cards previously as Geforce 9 cards on the market (as of January 2009), which in turn already technically identical existed previously in the Geforce 8 series. It made ​​appropriate renaming, first in the naming scheme of the 9-Series and now in that of the 100 series scheme (eg: 9500 GT → GT 120). This means that one and the same cards partially under three different names on the market.

Model data

Notes:

  • The specified clock rates are the established recommended by Nvidia or. However, is the final determination of the clock rates in the hands of the respective graphics cards manufacturers. Therefore, it is quite possible that there are graphics cards models or will be having different clock speeds.
  • With the stated date of the appointment of the public presentation is given, not the date of availability of the models.
  • " MGCP " is short for "Maximum Graphics Card Power" and refers to the officially stated by nVidia to be expected under normal operating maximum power consumption of a graphics card. Under special conditions, can be under certain circumstances but an even higher power to achieve. Therefore, the maximum Graphics Card Power is not the same as the TDP.
  • The clock frequency of the memory is also often reported as twice as high. The reason for this is the double data rate (DDR ).

Performance

For each model, the following theoretical power data:

Notes:

  • The above performance data for the computing power of the stream processors, the pixel fill rate, the Texelfüllrate and memory bandwidth are the theoretical maximum values. The overall performance of a graphics card depends, among other things, on how well the available resources can be exploited or utilized. In addition, there are other not listed here, factors that affect the performance.
  • The specified processing power on the stream processors refers to the use of both MUL operations, which is not reached in graphics shader calculations, as further calculations must be performed. In these calculations, therefore the performance of the computing power is lower on the stream processors.
