Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones (so-called Founders Edition for NVIDIA chips). OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.

Synthetic benchmark performance

Non-gaming benchmark results comparison. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.



Passmark

This is the most ubiquitous GPU benchmark. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various types of load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.

Pros & cons summary


Recency 16 July 2009 16 April 2024
Chip lithography 40 nm 8 nm
Power consumption (TDP) 14 Watt 50 Watt

GeForce G105M has 257.1% lower power consumption.

RTX A400, on the other hand, has an age advantage of 14 years, and a 400% more advanced lithography process.

We couldn't decide between GeForce G105M and RTX A400. We've got no test results to judge.

Be aware that GeForce G105M is a notebook card while RTX A400 is a workstation one.
