NVIDIA GeForce Go 6250 vs NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 vs NVIDIA GeForce Go 6400

NVIDIA GeForce Go 6250

► remove from comparison NVIDIA GeForce Go 6250

The NVIDIA GeForce Go 6250 is a low end laptop graphics card of the GeForce Go 6000 series. It is based on the 6200 and 6400 chip and offers a small amount of dedicated DDR graphics memory. Usually it is adverted with additional shared memory called TurboCache.

An advantage are the integrated PureVideo functions for decoding MPEG videos with the GPU (but not HD videos).

The performance of the 6250 is too weak for gamers. The power consumption should be relatively low, but not as low as integrated graphics cards offer.

NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150

► remove from comparison NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150

NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100 / 6150 is the name of an integrated graphic of NVIDIA nForce Go 430 MCP for AMD Turion laptops. It does not have own integrated memory but uses the main memory (up tp 128 MB) like the direct competitor Intel GMA 950. Therefore, the gaming performance is mediocre and only suited for old games (but better than the integrated competitors from Intel and ATI / AMD).

NVIDIA GeForce Go 6400

► remove from comparison NVIDIA GeForce Go 6400

The NVIDIA GeForce Go 6400 is inserted in favorable notebooks and technically a higher clocked GeForce Go 6200. It has been replaced by Go 7400. Beside the integrated memory of 32 MB the card can reserve up to 128 MB of the main memory (TurboCache).
Due to few integrated memory and only 64 memory bus, the highest gaming performance can not be expected from GeForce Go 6400.

The PureVideo functions enable the 6400 to accelerate the playback of MPEG videos (not in HD). > Comparison Table
