![]() 240 processing (shader) cores (GTX 275).If you think about that for a minute you might go nuts. ![]() I don't know what will drive you more nuts thinking about the number of operations going on in a GPU, or squeezing your left nut. Then take a MHz, 1 MHz denotes one million hertz or one million cycles per second. Now imagine 1400 million transistors times the clock frequency of the GPU (this determines how many times per second the transistors can change state, or, rather, switch between 1 and 0). think of a transistor as an on/off switch on = 1 and off = 0. I mentioned this in a couple of reviews already, but 1400 million transistors. It's funny, as at the very time I'm writing this article, I'm also working on a history of article, and in the beginning we had 1 million transistors per GPU back then, and we are roughly a 10 year timespan here, um yeah. It's the biggest beast of a graphics processor that NVIDIA has ever built with 1400 million transistors, well. The GTX series 200 GPU sums up to 1400 million transistors. The same graphics processor as the GTX 285 is being used on this product. The GTX 275 is all about the 55nm fabrication based product series GTX 200 (GT200 series ASIC name). So I'd like to start off with a little 101 on the GTX 200 series GPU.
