Comparison of Nvidia nForce chipsets#nForce 900

{{Short description|List of chipsets created by Nvidia}}

This is a comparison of chipsets designed by Nvidia. Nvidia stopped producing chipsets in 2009.{{Cite web|first=Adrian|last=Kingsley-Hughes|title=End of the line for NVIDIA chipsets, and that's official|date=2009-10-08|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/end-of-the-line-for-nvidia-chipsets-and-thats-official/|website=ZDNet}} Nvidia codenames its chipsets MCPs (Media and Communications Processors).

A static amount of 256 MiB of system RAM used as VRAM.

Supported DirectX 10.1 instead of 10.0, unlike earlier chipsets. Similarly, audio w/ video is supported over its mini-DP port, whereas prior chipsets only supported video out.

Up to 16 GB of RAM can be used, official Apple documentation is incorrect.
