8600M GT memory in the Dell 1520

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
Is the memory in the 8600M GT in the Dell Insprion 1520 GDDR3 or DDR2?

I hear this would make a pretty big performance difference.

The 8600m gt has gddr3 while the slower 8600m gs has ddr2 (I believe)

technically an 8600GT with GDDR2 is an 8500GT

According to NVIDIA this card can use either GDDR2 or GDDR3.

From the benchmarks I have seen it looks like Dell is using GDDR2 memory. More info can be found at the Dell forum here.

According to RivaTuner mine is DDR3

BTW, my 8600mGT is iddling at 50 C. What do you think? Is it a normal temperature? Or is it high?

It's GDDR2 that's what Dell website said.

50C seems high - mine is usually within 1-2C of CPU idle (right now 33C CPU/35C GPU)

At full load, CPU is higher than GPU (max temps I've seen are 71C CPU/62C GPU) - and that's with GPU overclocked to 635 & GPU memory overclocked to 535
