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 15 June 2009 12 October 2009
Maximum RAM amount 512 MB 1 GB
Chip lithography 55 nm 40 nm
Power consumption (TDP) 14 Watt 58 Watt

GT 220M has 314.3% lower power consumption.

GT 220, on the other hand, has an age advantage of 3 months, a 100% higher maximum VRAM amount, and a 37.5% more advanced lithography process.

We couldn't decide between GeForce GT 220M and GeForce GT 220. We've got no test results to judge.

Be aware that GeForce GT 220M is a notebook card while GeForce GT 220 is a desktop one.
