Nvidia presents the first G310 card
The appearance of a Geforce G 310 card on nVIDIA’s list has initiall surprised everyone, making people think that the company had managed to finish a Geforce Fermi card before the scheduled time, but the surprise lasted little, as the G310 is nothing but a rebrand of the G210.
The G310 is thus a graphic card featuring a 40 nm chip, 16 cores with the frequency of 589Mhz and featuring 512MB of DDR2 RAM that communicate with the GPU through a 64-bit bus. The card has DVI, VGA and DisplayPort outputs, and an HDMI adapter is included.
It’s not very clear why nVIDIA decided to rename a G210 as the first GeForce 300 series, but the true Geforce 3xx with DirectX 11 will arrive next year, probably in January, but more likely to be launched sometime during the first trimester.

I have a Dell XPS 8100 Desktop. It is configured with a geforce G310 card. I want to hook up a 2nd monitor. What kind of adaptor/dongle do I need?
Thanks.

If your model has a DVI and a VGA port, then you need no adaptor. Simply connect one VGA monitor on the VGA port, and the DVI on the DVI. If both your monitors are DVI, you will need a VGA-DVI adaptor for the VGA port. If your model only has DVI ports, then you need a DVI-VGA adaptor for a possible VGA model.
It all depends on what kind of monitors you’re trying to connect and what ports the card has.

(1) Can two DVI monitors be connected to the G310 by using one DVI port and an HDMI-to-DVI adaptor with the HDMI port?
(2) Is there a passive cooling version (ie, fanless) version of the G310, especially for OEM manufacturers?
Thanks.

William,
I believe it is possible to connect two DVI connectors like that. As long as you have the adaptor.
As for the passive cooling version, we haven’t seen one yet.
Cheers!

Can this video card drive three monitors at once? One VGA and two digital monitors?
Thanks. -

As far as I’m aware, no, there are driver limitations. You’ll have to wait for the first Fermi cards with the new technology that are (supposedly) coming soon.
