GT520M offers PureVideo HD technology for video decoding. That means the card can transfer Dolby True HD and DTS-HD bitstream-wise without losing quality to HiFi receivers. Like the other 500M series chips, the 520M supports Bitstream HD Audio (Blu-Ray) output via HDMI. Low-demanding games like Fifa 12, however, can be played in high-detail settings. Other modern games only run in low detail, and thus gamers won’t be happy with the performance. However, demanding games like Battlefield 3 or The Witcher 2 are not playable. In our tests, the card was only slightly faster, but better driver support makes all the difference. NVIDIA Drivers As an entry-level card, the GT 520M must compete with Intel HD Graphics 3000 on the current Sandy Bridge processor. GF119 is the smallest chip of the Fermi generation and is used for low-end laptops. As a difference, the number of raster-operating-processor (ROP) still counts the same 4. Therefore, it is similar to half GF108 (GeForce GT 540M) but already manufactured with optimized transistors. The GF119 offers 48 ALUs, 8 texture units, and a 64 Bit memory interface for DDR3-VRAM.
Theoretically, the card also supports fast GDDR5 memory, but due to cost constraints, DDR3 will be used by laptop manufacturers.Ĭompared to the GT 420M, the 520M only offers 48 instead of 96 shader cores. Depending on the version, it features a 64 Bit memory bus and a higher clock rate (version GF119) or a 128 Bit memory bus and a slower clock rate. It is based on the GF119 or GF108 cores, both of which are related to the Fermi architecture. NVIDIA Drivers GT 520 is an entry-level dedicated laptop graphics card presented in 2010.
