The GeForce 2 series is a series of desktop and mobile graphics chips from Nvidia and the successor to the GeForce 256 series . They were used on graphics cards from around 2000 to 2001 .

The GeForce2 GTS was the first graphics card for home use that could handle a fill rate of more than a billion texels per second (more precisely: 1.6 billion). Hence the suffix "GTS" stand "for G IgA T Exel S hader".

Graphics processors

Two different graphics processors are used within the GeForce 2 series, which differ mainly in terms of their 3D capabilities and their render pipeline configuration.

Graphics chip	production			Render pipelines	API support		Bus interface stelle
	production process	transis- interfere	The surface	Pipes × TMU	DirectX	OpenGL
NV11	180 nm	20 million	65 mm²	2 × 4	7th	1.2	AGP 4x
NV15	180/150 nm	25 million	90/81 mm²	4 × 8

Note:

• The specified clock rates are those recommended or specified by Nvidia. However, the final determination of the clock rates is in the hands of the respective graphics card manufacturer. It is therefore entirely possible that there are or will be graphics card models that have different clock rates.
