Many users have encountered integrated video cards. Only the Nvidia GeForce 7025, unlike many, is located directly on the motherboard, and not in the processor. Further, we will talk about its characteristics, and in which motherboards it can be found.
Nvidia GeForce 7025: specifications
Like many built-in graphics processors, this representative draws most of the resources from the rest of the components. Nvidia launched seventh-generation chips in 2006.
So, having a working core frequency of 425 megahertz, this video card plays video in a 2 x 2 scale. There is support for DirectX of the ninth version and a model of third-generation shaders. This graphics processor displays the image on an external screen using a single connector - DVI. The area of the crystal is 87 square millimeters. At 112 million transistors, there is a 90-nanometer process. Also, the Nvidia GeForce 7025 graphics chip has support for technology from the third-party manufacturer Nvidia CineFX. Third generation pixel shaders are available (as well as vertex shaders). It does not need additional nutrition, but it is worth thinking about cooling.
The integrated graphics processor is suitable for running simple applications, office programs and browser tasks. You can try to run a regular or flash game, but you should not count on high performance.
Which motherboards can be found?
All motherboards that use the Nvidia GeForce 7025 GPU have size standards that match the microATX form factor. Processors for such motherboards will correspond to socket AM3. In such motherboards there are only two slots for RAM, and their total value should not exceed 8 gigabytes.
Since the video card is integrated, it uses memory resources from RAM - the operating frequency and the amount of memory, which significantly reduces the overall power consumption.
An example of a motherboard with this video chip
ASRock N68 UCC has a socket for the processor, corresponding to the parameters of the socket AM3. The form factor, as mentioned earlier, meets the microATX standard.
On the motherboard there are two slots for DDR2 format RAM. It supports AMD processors, the power consumption of which does not exceed 95 watts. Data throughput is two gigathexels per second. The maximum allowable RAM is 8 gigabytes. The 12-volt power cable has 24 pins. The size of such a motherboard is 21.6 x 17.8 centimeters.
