NVIDIA GeForce GT 140 OEM Specifications

GeForce GT 140 OEM GPU Core

Shader units and compute resources

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 140 OEM GPU core specifications define its raw processing power for graphics and compute workloads. Shading units (also called CUDA cores, stream processors, or execution units depending on manufacturer) handle the parallel calculations required for rendering. TMUs (Texture Mapping Units) process texture data, while ROPs (Render Output Units) handle final pixel output. Higher shader counts generally translate to better GPU benchmark performance, especially in demanding games and 3D applications.

About NVIDIA GeForce GT 140 OEM

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 140 OEM is a Tesla-architecture part built on TSMC's 55 nm process, packing 505 million transistors into a 196 mm² die for a density of 2.6M per square millimeter. Released on 2009-03-09 as part of the GeForce 100 generation, this end-of-life product carries a 50th percentile rank among all GPUs in the database, placing it at the exact median of the performance spectrum. With no recorded benchmark scores and no listed rivals, its standing must be inferred from raw specifications: 208.0 GFLOPS of FP32 compute, a 57.60 GB/s memory bandwidth, and a 105 W TDP.

How It Compares

The FACT PACK lists no nearest rivals for this GPU, so direct head-to-head percentage deltas cannot be computed. Its 50th percentile rank, however, anchors it precisely at the midpoint of the entire database—half of all GPUs are slower, and half are faster. This median positioning suggests a balanced, unremarkable performance profile. The absence of rival names and scores means no claims of superiority or inferiority against specific parts can be made from the data. The average benchmark score of 0 further complicates positioning, as it indicates no measured performance entries exist for this OEM variant. The only quantitative anchors are the raw compute figures: 208.0 GFLOPS, 10.40 GPixel/s pixel rate, and 20.80 GTexel/s texture rate. Without rival data, these numbers remain isolated, but they imply a part that sits comfortably in the middle of its era, neither a budget outlier nor a performance leader.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The FACT PACK lists no RT cores and no tensor cores for this GPU, meaning hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI-based tensor operations are entirely absent. The feature set relies solely on the Tesla architecture's traditional rasterization pipeline. API support includes DirectX 11.1 with a feature level of 10_0, which allows the card to run DirectX 11.1 applications but only at the feature set of DirectX 10.0. OpenGL 3.3 is supported, while Vulkan is not listed, indicating no Vulkan driver support. The display outputs are 2x DVI and 1x S-Video, reflecting a connector set from a pre-DisplayPort era. This combination of APIs and missing RT/tensor hardware makes the card unsuitable for contemporary ray-traced workloads. It can, however, handle older DirectX 10-era titles and OpenGL 3.3 applications, which aligns with its 2009 release. The absence of tensor cores also rules out any DLSS or AI-based upscaling, leaving traditional resolution scaling as the only option.

Power and Cooling

The thermal design power is rated at 105 W, a modest figure for a single-slot card. The suggested power supply unit is 300 W, which provides adequate headroom for a basic system with a few drives and peripherals. A single 6-pin power connector is required, and the card occupies a single slot, with a length of 229 mm or 9 inches. These specifications indicate a straightforward cooling solution—likely a single axial fan over an aluminum heatsink. The 105 W TDP is low enough that a capable air cooler suffices, and the 300 W PSU recommendation leaves room for a modest CPU and storage setup. The single-slot design is advantageous for compact cases, though the 229 mm length requires a mid-tower or larger chassis to accommodate it. The 1x 6-pin connector is a standard requirement for this power class, and the 300 W PSU rating suggests the card draws well within the limits of a typical 2009-era power supply.

Benchmark Performance

The benchmark results show an average score of 0, with no individual benchmark entries listed in the FACT PACK. The percentile rank of 50 indicates that this GPU sits at the median of all GPUs in the database. Because there are no nearest rivals with scores or deltaPct values, percentage comparisons cannot be made. However, the raw compute metrics provide context: the FP32 performance is 208.0 GFLOPS, the pixel rate is 10.40 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 20.80 GTexel/s. These numbers suggest a part that can handle 1080p gaming at low to medium settings in older titles, but will struggle with modern workloads. The 50th percentile ranking, combined with a zero benchmark score, implies that the database has not recorded any meaningful performance data for this OEM-specific variant, making it a placeholder in the ranking rather than a measured performer. The lack of deltas means the data cannot confirm whether it is faster or slower than any specific competitor. The 64 shading units and 32 TMUs, paired with 16 ROPs, deliver a balanced throughput that aligns with its median percentile, but the 208.0 GFLOPS FP32 figure is modest by any standard.

Who Should Consider It

Given the 1024 MB frame buffer and 57.60 GB/s of bandwidth, this card is best suited for resolutions at or below 1080p, though the pack does not specify a resolution. The 208.0 GFLOPS FP32 throughput and 20.80 GTexel/s texture rate indicate it can handle older DirectX 10 and early DirectX 11 titles with reduced settings. The absence of RT and tensor cores disqualifies it from any modern ray-traced or AI-enhanced workloads. The 105 W TDP and 300 W PSU requirement make it a low-stress addition to an older system, but its end-of-life production status means it is only relevant for legacy builds or retro gaming. Users with a 256-bit memory bus will benefit from the 57.60 GB/s bandwidth for texture-heavy scenes, but the 64 shading units limit shader complexity. The 50th percentile rank suggests it is a balanced performer for its era, but not a standout. For anyone seeking to play contemporary games at high settings, the data clearly indicates this is not the appropriate tool. It is, however, a viable option for a secondary machine dedicated to classic titles or as a display adapter for office workloads.

Memory Subsystem

The memory subsystem consists of 1024 MB of GDDR3 memory connected via a 256-bit bus. The memory clock is 900 MHz, with an effective data rate of 1800 Mbps, yielding a total bandwidth of 57.60 GB/s. This bandwidth is a critical factor for high-resolution rendering, as higher resolutions demand more data per frame. The 256-bit bus width is generous for the era, allowing the 57.60 GB/s to be delivered efficiently. However, the 1024 MB capacity is limited by modern standards, which means texture-heavy scenes at high resolutions will quickly exhaust the frame buffer. The pixel rate of 10.40 GPixel/s and texture rate of 20.80 GTexel/s are directly tied to the memory bandwidth and ROP/TMU counts (16 ROPs and 32 TMUs). For a GPU with a 50th percentile rank, this memory configuration is adequate for 1080p gaming with moderate texture quality, but at higher resolutions, the 1024 MB capacity and 57.60 GB/s bandwidth will become bottlenecks. The 256-bit bus helps mitigate the lower clock speed, but the effective 1800 Mbps is modest. Overall, the memory subsystem is a balanced component for its time, but it does not offer the headroom needed for modern high-resolution gaming. The 57.60 GB/s figure is the defining constraint for any demanding workload, and the 1024 MB capacity is the hard ceiling for texture detail.
