Integrated GPUs located on the motherboard have long been out of date. At the moment, the integrated video card can be located directly in the processor chip, without taking up space on the common board. The Geforce 7025 nforce 630a is described below, the specifications and reviews of which will be discussed later.
Supported Processors
The motherboard on which the motherboard is located can only support AM2 Socket processors:
- Athlon 64 X2 is the first of its kind processor with two cores, designed for desktop computers. This processor was developed and put on sale in 2005.
- The Athlon 64 had support for DDR2 memory, a 90-nanometer process and a dual-channel memory controller.
- Sempron is a direct competitor to Intel, which at one time represented processors based on Celeron. The creators of this processor hinted that his task is the daily work with simple applications. Launched in 2004.
Geforce 7025 nforce 630a: specs
The chip for this GPU is codenamed C68, and it was released in 2007. The PCI device name is identified as 053E. When working with three-dimensional functions, the graphics core supports a frequency of up to 425 megahertz. 90nm process processor. It has two rendering pipelines and one texture processing unit. Only two textures can be applied in one approach. The Geforce 7025 nforce 630a graphics card, whose specifications include the presence of a TnL hardware unit, has two point shader units. Vertex shaders are presented in the amount of one piece.
The supported UMA memory format can handle up to 106 million geometry blocks. Pixels are filtered at a speed of 425 pixels per second, and textiles are filled at a speed of up to 850 million textiles per second. The specifications of the Geforce 7025 nforce 630a indicate the amount of supported memory, which is a maximum of 256 megabytes. It is also possible to compress information and quickly clear the z-buffer. Support for the NT bus interface and point shaders version 3.0. There is support for texture mapping algorithms and the presence of three-dimensional textures.
There is also support for absolute anti-aliasing, which is updated to the MSAA version. The peculiarity of this chipset is that it is asynchronous, which means it is capable of working with computing tasks. It supports PCI Ex version 1.0a, where the interface of the slot is 1-16x, and the other three slots are 1x.
Features The Geforce 7025 nforce 630a supports DirectX of the ninth series and the third version of the Shadow Models. The video image is scaled in the basic 2x2 format. The maximum number of supported SATA drives is 4, and PATA is 2 pieces. The speed of the SATA drive is 3 gigabits per second.
These are the specifications of the Geforce 7025 nforce 630a. A photo of the chip is presented above.
Motherboards with integrated graphics card
Many companies, having gotten the basic equipment in their hands, add their improvements and modifications to the source material so that the user can get the most functional device with decent quality of work. The characteristics of the Geforce 7025 nforce 630a are closely related to the performance of RAM. The fact is that integrated cards are severely infringed on capabilities, so they make up for the missing indicators with the help of RAM.
For example, ASRock in the N68-S3 model decided to replace the AM2 socket with the third version, which will allow the use of new generation processors with better performance. The motherboard has two memory slots, which corresponds to a two-channel stream. The memory frequency varies from 800 to 1600 megahertz. Supports up to 8 gigabytes of RAM.
The next model from the same manufacturer is marked N68-GS4, which also uses the socket AM3 +. The memory is supported in DDR3 format, and the number of slots is 2 pieces. The maximum supported RAM capacity is 16 gigabytes.
Another manufacturer that integrated this Geforce 7025 nforce 630a GPU is Gigabyte. It supports AMD Athlon and Sempron processes. RAM with DDR2 interface has a frequency of 800 megahertz.
User reviews
Most owners of Geforce 7025 nforce 630a graphics cards leave average reviews for this GPU and consider the video card a fallback. That is, playing on it in any case will not work, but launching simple applications or office programs is work for her. Some believe that any discrete graphics card will be the perfect replacement for the built-in. The majority of users are inclined to believe that the role of integrated cards is to display an image on the screen while drivers for a discrete card are installed.
