Geforce9300 - Friday, Janulink Hi guys.POST A COMMENT 48 Comments View All Comments DisplayPort and standard VGA are also supported, making for a very nice array of output options on the I/O plane: The ASUS board we tested with does not support DL DVI unfortunately. but only if the board manufacturer supports it. The 9300 will be the chipset to look at the 9400 is simply a way of getting more money out of the consumer.ĭual-Link DVI is supported so 2560x1600 is available. And just as we saw with the GeForce 8200/8300, we had no problems overclocking our GeForce 9300 to 9400 clock speeds. NVIDIA should have no problems retiring 16 instructions per clock and with its SPs running at 2.4x the speed of AMD's in the 780G, NVIDIA should not only be able to equal AMD's performance but surpass it in most games.Īs we saw with the GeForce 82 series, the only difference between the 93 are clock speeds (450MHz/1.2GHz vs. While AMD can crank through a peak of 40 instructions per clock, that's very much a best case scenario figure. Compared to other IGPs however, NVIDIA has finally closed the gap between itself and AMD's 780G.
What we want is at least 9500 GT class of performance, and what we're getting is something below a 9400 GT (once you factor in memory bandwidth limitations). Yeah, integrated graphics still pretty much sucks for any real gaming. Compared to discrete cards this isn't much of course the table below shows how the GeForce 9300 stacks up to NVIDIA's own discrete solutions: While the 80nm GeForce 82 featured 8 SPs, the GeForce 93 have twice that: 16 stream processors. With a smaller manufacturing process, NVIDIA could cram more into the GeForce 9300.
