Originally retailing for around US600, prices came down to under US400 before it was discontinued.
![]() Able to drive one flat-panel display up to 19201200 resolution. Available on select GeForce 8400 GPUs. GeForce 8400 GS cards based on the G86 only support single-link DVI. This potentially allows higher fidelity color representation and separation on capable displays. The GeForce 8 series, like its recent predecessors, also supports Scalable Link Interface (SLI) for multiple installed cards to act as one via an SLI Bridge, so long as they are of similar architecture. It now includes GPU-based hardware acceleration for decoding HD movie formats, post-processing of HD video for enhanced images, and optional High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) support at the card level. The GeForce 8300 was only available in the OEM market, and as the GeForce 8300 mGPU motherboard GPU. These graphics cards were not intended for intense 3D applications such as fast, high-resolution video games. They were originally designed to replace the 7200 and 7300 models, but could not due to their poor game performance. It was able to play modern games at playable framerates at low settings and low resolutions making it popular among casual gamers and HTPC (Media Center) builders without a PCI Express or AGP motherboard. The G98 also features dual-link DVI support and PCI Express 2.0. G86 and G98 cards were both sold as 8400 GS, the difference showing only in the technical specifications. As with many GPUs, the larger number these parts carry does not guarantee superior performance over previous generation parts with a lower number. Geforce 8500 Gt Update To PureVideoAs the first major update to PureVideo since the GeForce 6s launch, 2nd-gen PureVideo offered much improved hardware-decoding for H.264. A 320 MB GTS was released on February 12 and the Ultra was released on May 2, 2007. The cards are larger than their predecessors, with the 8800 GTX measuring 10.6 in (26.9 cm) in length and the 8800 GTS measuring 9 in (23 cm). The 8800 GTX requires 2 PCIe power inputs to keep within the PCIe standard, while the GTS requires just one. The 8800 series replaced the GeForce 7950 Series as NVIDIAs top-performing consumer GPU. GeForce 8800 GTX and GTS use identical GPU cores, but the GTS model disables parts of the GPU and reduces RAM size and bus width to lower production cost. The GTX has 128 stream processors clocked at 1.35 GHz, a core clock of 575 MHz, and 768 MB of 384-bit GDDR3 memory at 1.8 GHz, giving it a memory bandwidth of 86.4 GBs. The card performs faster than a single Radeon HD 2900 XT, and faster than 2 Radeon X1950 XTXs in Crossfire or 2 GeForce 7900 GTXs in SLI. The 8800 GTX also supports HDCP, but one major flaw is its older NVIDIA PureVideo processor that uses more CPU resources.
