The GeForce 210

 

Recommended Gaming Resolutions: 640x480 1280x720 1366x768

The GeForce 210 was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on October 12th, 2009. Built on the 40 nm process, and based on the GT218S graphics processor, in its GT218-300-A2 variant, the card supports DirectX 11.1. Even though it supports DirectX 11, the feature level is only 10_1, which can be problematic with many DirectX 11 & DirectX 12 titles. The GT218S graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 57 mm² and 260 million transistors. It features 16 shading units, 8 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 512 MB DDR3 memory with the GeForce 210, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 520 MHz, memory is running at 400 MHz.

Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce 210 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 31 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x DisplayPort, 1x VGA. GeForce 210 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 168 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution.

The Radeon RX 7700 XT is a high-end graphics card by AMD, launched on August 25th, 2023. Built on the 5 nm process, and based on the Navi 32 graphics processor, in its Navi 32 XL variant, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate. This ensures that all modern games will run on Radeon RX 7700 XT. Additionally, the DirectX 12 Ultimate capability guarantees support for hardware-raytracing, variable-rate shading and more, in upcoming video games. The Navi 32 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 346 mm² and 28,100 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked Radeon RX 7800 XT, which uses the same GPU but has all 3840 shaders enabled, AMD has disabled some shading units on the Radeon RX 7700 XT to reach the product's target shader count. It features 3456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The card also has 54 raytracing acceleration cores. AMD has paired 12 GB GDDR6 memory with the Radeon RX 7700 XT, which are connected using a 192-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1435 MHz, which can be boosted up to 2544 MHz, memory is running at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective).

Being a dual-slot card, the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT draws power from 2x 8-pin power connectors, with power draw rated at 245 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x HDMI 2.1a, 2x DisplayPort 2.1, 1x USB Type-C. Radeon RX 7700 XT is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 4.0 x16 interface. The card's dimensions are 267 mm x 135 mm x 50 mm, and it features a dual-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 449 US Dollars.
