The NVidia NVS 4200M graphics adapter is designed to create specialized laptops. Most often it can be found in corporate mobile computing systems. Moreover, this accelerator both hardware and software is aimed at the implementation of just such tasks. That is, it is best suited for processing specialized software.
Specialization
As previously noted, this modification of the video card is specialized, and most often it can be found in corporate laptops. She best processes the code in the appropriate programs. The latter include, for example, SAP or “1C: Enterprise”.
Of course, such an adapter is suitable for running games. But playability in this case will be far from the highest level. In such a situation, it is better to buy a laptop with a series of GTX accelerators from the same manufacturer.
Specification
Description NVidia NVS 4200M indicates the presence of 48 stream processors. The latter operate at a clock frequency of 810 MHz. Technical specifications emphasize that there are 292 million transistors on the semiconductor base of this accelerator. The latter are manufactured according to 40 nm technology. The thermal package of the video card does not exceed 25 watts.
The graphics accelerator in use uses a separate memory. Her type is DDR3. The maximum amount of video buffer is 1 GB. But in most cases, 512 MB were used in conjunction with the adapter. The width of the memory bus is 64 bits.
Reviews The cost of devices. Accelerator relevance
At the beginning of sales, this model of the accelerator had a sufficient level of performance. But a lot of time has passed since its appearance on store shelves. Therefore, this adapter has become significantly outdated. This is its main drawback today. Therefore, it has a low speed, which does not allow to process resource-intensive program code. The advantages of this accelerator include low cost and simple operation. Also, the reliability of this video card is at a sufficient level. But in any case, it can not be called an actual graphic device. In the best case, it will be able to compete on equal terms only with the least efficient integrated accelerators to date.
Laptops that are equipped with such an accelerator can be bought at a very affordable price. But all of them were already in operation. Their cost is in the range of 8000-10000 rubles.
Conclusion
In this review, a specialized NVidia NVS 4200M graphics accelerator was reviewed. At the time of release, it had really good parameters and performance. Now it is outdated and has ceased to be an actual device.
