NVIDIA Quadro NVS 280 AGP: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started Quadro NVS 280 AGP sales 25 May 2004. This is a Rankine architecture desktop card based on 150 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 64 MB of DDR memory clocked at 0.25 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 8 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via AGP 8x interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 168 mm. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 13 Watt.
