NVidia GeForce 9800 GT Graphics Card: Features, Game Tests, and Testimonials
The graphic accelerator for assembling budget PCs in 2009 with some of the best technical specifications for this niche is NVIDIA GIFORS 9800 GT. The characteristics of this accelerator at the time of its launch allowed the launch of most toys. мог решать. In this case, other tasks (video playback, image editing, for example), he could also decide.
Niche of video adapter
As it was noted earlier, the entry level solutions were addressed by the 9800 GT video adapter. Characteristics and positioning of it by the manufacturer in the person of NVidia was an additional confirmation. Even at the time of release, this accelerator allowed to run most toys, but not with the maximum settings. Now his capabilities look very modest and put the hero of this review in almost the same line with integrated video adapters.
Technical parameters of the GPU
основывается видеокарта 9800 GT. The graphic processor G92 is based on the 9800 GT. The characteristics of this silicon crystal indicate that it was produced at the rate of 55 nm of the technological process. But it is also possible to meet its modifications, which were manufactured according to the tolerance standards already from 65 nm (earlier versions of this product). The total number of transistor elements in this case is 754 million units. TMU для каждого конвейера равнялось 56. А вот блоков ROP было 16. С программной точки зрения этот графический ускоритель соответствовал спецификациям Direct Х версии 10.0. The clock speed for the core of the GPU was 600 MHz, and the shader processing modules - 1500 MHz, which in the product was 112. In turn, the number of TMU modules for each pipeline was 56. But the ROP blocks were 16. From the program point View, this graphics accelerator conformed to the specifications of Direct X version 10.0. PCI-E 16 Х версии 2.0. Install these video accelerators recommended in the expansion slot PCI-E 16 X version 2.0.
RAM. Features of the video buffer management subsystem
GDDR3 был нацелен GT 9800. Характеристики же графического чипа указывали на то, что тактовые частоты их должны были быть равны 1800 МГц. The use of the GDDR3 memory chips was aimed at the GT 9800. The characteristics of the graphics chip indicated that their clock frequencies should be equal to 1800 MHz. The volume of the video buffer could be 512 MB or 1 Gb in such accelerators. The key feature of this product was that the interface of information exchange with video buffer had a bit width of 256 bits. It is due to this constructive feature that such accelerators still have an acceptable level of speed and still allow solving most problems. Also, this factor significantly increases the bandwidth of the video memory subsystem, which in this case corresponds to a value of 57 Gb / s.
Direct competitors
на момент выхода NVidia 9800 GT. Direct competitor was Radeon HD4770 at the time of the release of NVidia 9800 GT. The characteristics of these accelerators were very similar, and the level of performance - comparable. But the HD4770 did not get much distribution because of the low yield of usable semiconductor chips. As a result, ATI was forced to oppose the hero of this review with a less efficient HD4730 graphics adapter. But his value, albeit insignificantly, was lower. In one of the most popular and demanding toys of 2009 to Crysis hardware in 1280 x 1024 mode and with activation of DX10 these accelerators could give the following number of frames a second:
- HD4730 - 21-29 fps.
- 9800 GT - 22-30 fps.
- HD4770 - 24-32 fps.
A similar arrangement is maintained in the game Stalker (version of Clear Sky) in 1680 x 1050 mode:
- HD4730 - 13-23 fps.
- 9800 GT - 13-25 fps.
- HD4770 - 15-28 fps.
As a result, it can be noted that these accelerators had no significant differences, and the level of performance they had was really identical. In essence, the choice was limited to the personal preferences of a particular customer.
The price of the accelerator. Owner feedback
е аппаратные параметры, которые заложены в таком ускорителе, позволяют даже сейчас решать большинство задач. The hardware parameters that are incorporated in such an accelerator allow even now to solve most problems. GTA V. С учетом стоимости на международных торговых площадках в интернете (450 рублей - версия с 512 Мб; 900 рублей - модификация с 1 Гб ОЗУ) это действительно фантастическое достижение. The most striking confirmation of this is that at the minimum settings this accelerator allows launching the recently released GTA V. Given the cost on international trading platforms on the Internet (450 rubles - version with 512 MB, 900 rubles - modification with 1 GB of RAM) this is really fantastic attainment. But the best times of this accelerator have long been in the past, and now there are more productive solutions, which need to be oriented when assembling a new PC.
Results
A significant video accelerator in the segment of products of the initial class in 2009 was 9800 GT. Characteristics at the moment look very modest. But from the moment of the beginning of his sales, really much time has passed by the standards of the computer world, and in such a situation there is nothing special. GTA V, характеризует ее действительно с лучшей стороны. But the nuance that this video card can at the very minimum settings pull one of the most demanding toys of GTA V, characterizes it really from the best side.
