STG: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started STG sales 30 September 1995 at a recommended price of $249 . This is desktop card based on 500 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at gamers. 1 MB of FPM memory clocked at 0.05 GHz are supplied, and together with 64 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 400.0 MB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is a single-slot graphics card attached via PCI interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 168 mm. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 2 Watt.

Form factor & compatibility

This section provides details about the physical dimensions of STG and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).

Interface	PCI
Length	168 mm
Width	1-slot
Supplementary power connectors	None

VRAM capacity and type

Parameters of memory installed on STG: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.

Memory type	FPM
Maximum RAM amount	1 MB	of 294912 (Radeon Instinct MI325X)
Memory bus width	64 Bit	of 8192 Bit (Radeon Instinct MI250X)
Memory clock speed	50 MHz	of 20000 (RTX 5000 Ada Generation Mobile)
Memory bandwidth	400.0 MB/s	of 5,171 GB/s (Radeon Instinct MI300X)

Connectivity and outputs

Types and number of video connectors present on STG. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.

Display Connectors

1x VGA, 1x DB13W3

API compatibility

APIs supported by STG, sometimes including their particular versions.

DirectX	1.0
OpenGL	N/A	of 4.6 (GeForce RTX 4090)
OpenCL	N/A
Vulkan	N/A

Benchmark performance

Synthetic benchmark performance of STG. The combined score is measured on a 0-100 point scale.
