Field Explanations


The fields in the table listed below describe the following:

★ 'Model' - The Marketing name for the processor assigned by NVIDIA.

★ 'Year' - Year of release for the processor.

★ 'Code Name' - The internal engineering codename for the processor (typically designated by a NVXY name and later GXY where X is the series number and Y is the schedule of the project for that generation.

★ 'Fabrication Process' - Average feature size of components of the processor.

★ 'Bus Interface' - Bus by which the Graphics processor is attached to the system (typically an expansion slot, such as PCI, AGP, or PCI-Express).

★ 'Memory Max' - The maximum amount of memory used by the processor.

★ 'Core Clock' - The maximum factory core clock frequency (used as some manufacturers adjust clocks lower and higher, this number will always be the reference clocks used by NVIDIA).

★ 'Memory Clock' - The maximum factory memory clock frequency (used as some manufacturers adjust clocks lower and higher, this number will always be the reference clocks used by NVIDIA).

★ 'Config Core' - The layout of the graphics pipeline, in terms of functional units. Over time the number, type and variety of functional units in the GPU core has changed significantly; before each section in the list there is an explanation as to what functional units are present in each generation of processors. In later models, Shaders are integrated into a Unified Shader Architecture, where any one shader can perform any of the functions listed.

★ 'Fillrate' - Maximum theoretical fillrate in Textured Pixels per second. This number is generally used as a "maximum throughput number" for the GPU and generally, a higher fillrate corresponds to a more powerful (and faster) GPU.

★ 'Memory Subsection'

★
★ 'Memory Bandwidth' - Maximum theoretical bandwidth for the processor at factory clock with factory bus width. GB=10^9 bytes.

★
★ 'Memory Bus Type' - Type of memory bus or buses utilized.

★
★ 'Memory Bus Width' - Maximum Bit width of the memory bus or buses utilized. This will always be a factory bus width.

★ 'Graphics Library Support Section'

★
★ 'Direct X' - Maximum version of Direct3D fully supported.

★
★ 'Open GL' - Maximum version of OpenGL fully supported.

★ 'Features' - Additional features that are not standard as a part of the two Graphics libraries.

AGP 3.0 denotes a voltage reduction and increased maximum theoretical bandwidth (available speeds are 4X and 8X, instead of 2X and 4X); the cores themselves saw little to no changes (from NV17 to NV18 or NV25 to NV28). Apart from an increased clock speed and a reduced signal swing voltage (from 1.5V to 0.8V) , AGP 3.0 still supports sideband addressing (added late to AGP 1.0 specifications, increased practical data throughput) and fast writes (AGP 2.0 specifications, direct data writes to graphic card's memory). Strangely, the 4200's name change doesn't reflect the increased core clock, while the 4800 still has the same clock rates as the 4600.
