Product Information
The MSI NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS is a streamlined GPU that is compatible with many motherboards supporting DDR3 graphics cards. It is a 1GB graphics card with PCI-E slots and a HDMI output. The Nvidia GeForce (N8400GS-MD1GD3H) video card is optimized for quiet running and improved compatibility with many systems. This is due to MSI’s military-grade, well-profiled construction. The MSI NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS video card is also designed with advanced users and developers in mind. You can customize the GeForce 8400 GS to fit in with the rest of your system perfectly. The video card enables you to play HD-quality videos with improved clarity and detail. The graphics card is also designed for light gaming. The MSI NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS has PCI expansion capabilities. This is compatible with PCI Express v1 and v2.0 x16. PCI Express improves AGP-8 performance, which results in transfer rates of over 4Gbps. The memory bandwidth is 6.4Gbps, and is 64bit. The video card has a memory capacity of 1GB, which is supported by dual RAMDAC technology, clocked at 400Mhz. The GPU is augmented by Nvidia’s GigaThread architecture, which allows for thousands of separate threads to work on shader code. The architecture of the GPU also devotes processing power to shading at the pixel, physical, vertex or geometric levels as needed. NVIDIA Quantum Effects also take more shading-effect strain off the CPU, for more streamlined gaming or playback. This adds more realistic texture to your games or video. The MSI Nvidia GeForce N8400GS-MD1GD3H video card also offers improvements in lighting (with added high-dynamic range) and anti-aliasing (16X) to add to its video-reproduction experience. The graphics card also has Nvidia PureVideo adaptations. These include improved scaling, video processing and hardware acceleration for many video formats (i.e., 720p and 1080p MPEGs, as well as H.264, VC-1 and WMV files). Nvidia PureVideo also offers enhanced edge definition and noise reduction. The Nvidia GeForce N8400GS-MD1GD3H video card also includes a DVI output. This enables it to control a screen with a resolution of up to 2560 x 1600. The output is driven by the video card’s RAMDAC, which can refresh at a rate of up to 85Hz. This MSI NVIDIA GeForce graphics card is certified to work with Windows 7. It is also compatible with every video interface standard supported by this OS. These include DirectCompute 5.0, DirectX 10 and 11 and OpenGL 4.0. It also complies with OpenCL and OpenGL 3.1 interfaces. The Nvidia GeForce 8000 series has been the world’s first to run DirectX 10, thus making it a market leader in more realistic and immersive playback. It can also play HDCP-compatible content, and also has an HDMI output. The MSI Nvidia GeForce 8400GS is an excellent piece of GPU-containing hardware that could enhance many computers with DDR3-SDRAM slots and scope for PCI Express or PCI Express v2.0 (x16) expansion. It is a slim-form video card that can be tweaked to be even more compatible with your existing system. It can play any video a Windows 7 machine may require, and also handle some gaming as needed. It is also optimized by MSI and Nvidia’s software to control a second screen with a DVI or HDMI output.Product Identifiers
