I was looking at a geforce 210 and an 8400 gs both from evga when i realized they used the same picture for both. http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Express-Graphics-512-P3-1310-LR/dp/B004H4XE6W/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1373152703&sr=1-2&keywords=geforce+210 http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-...d=1373259514&sr=1-1&keywords=8400+gs+evga+1gb Is there any way i can use this to my advantage? lol. both are sold by amazon directly edit: are the 8400gs the same card now? i mean, both have the same core clock and ddr3 memory and shader clock. is the 8400gs just a 210 with more ram??
A GPU has a small "cpu"-chip like you have on your motherboard. It's under the fan in the middle of those cards so my guess is that they both share the same design but the difference being that the chip i different.
I actually found out that both the 8400gs and the geforce 210 use the gt218 gpu, same ram, and shader clock. They're the same cards. I don't know why they put 1gb of ram on the 8400gs, mine has never gotten close to using all 512mb.
