Today we take a look at Palit's entry level GeForce GT 520 graphics card and compare it to AMD's popular integrated Radeon HD 4250 graphics solution, most commonly incorporated into mainstream 8-series motherboards. We compare its Blu-ray decoding abilities, and find out how it copes with a variety of DirectX 9, 10 and 11 games and applications. The card itself utilises a GF119 core that includes 48 CUDA cores running at a graphics clock of 810 MHz and processor clock of 1620 MHz, adding up to a texture fill rate of 6.5 billion pixels per second. The processor core links to a 64-bit memory interface to Elpida EDJ1108BDSE-DJ-F GDDR3 memory capable of up to 1333 MHz at 1.5 volts.
