NVIDIA GeForce 310 chipset with support for Full HD video
NVIDIA presented the first graphics chipset in the GeForce 300 series. GeForce 310 is designed to replace the previous model 210 and, as it is designed to improve PC performance with integrated graphics solutions that have traditionally distinguished by extremely slow compared to dedicated graphics. The new GPU has 64-bit memory bus and a total of 16 processing cores clocked at 589 MHz. Nevertheless, with such modest data GeForce 310 can accelerate the playback of 1080p video and enforce complex computing tasks – thanks to the support of NVIDIA CUDA, PhysX, as well as more universal standards – DirectCompute and OpenCL.
Despite of their affiliation with a GeForce 300, given video card will not be based on modern architecture, Fermi, and hence level graphics DirectX 11 will not be supported.
GeForce 310 includes 512 MB of DDR2, which runs at 500 MHz. Despite its budget, the new GPU is equipped with connectors DisplayPort, DVI and VGA, and with the help of an adapter for DisplayPort and DVI will work even with HDMI.
NVIDIA didn’t indicate what operating system will support the new video card. As well as it is yet unknown when they will appear on the market and how much it will cost.
