Radeon HD 5770 And 5750 Review: Gentlemen, Start Your HTPCs
In the last month, we've seen ATI take the performance crown with its Radeon HD 5870 and an enthusiast value position with its Radeon HD 5850. Now the company is rounding out the mid-range with its Radeon HD 5770 and 5750, both capable DirectX 11 cards. Read More

Nvidia Desktop GPUs Hit 40nm

New Nvidia 40-nm GPUs are just for OEMs.
Last month Nvidia announced a handful of new mobile 200M series GPUs based on the still-current G200 architecture and built on the 40-nm process. It was only a matter of time before the 40-nm process would make it to the desktop parts, and today those products appeared on Nvidia's website.
Newly emerged are the GeForce GT 220 and GeForce G210, which are on the more modest side of speed and also carry an "OEM Product" tag clearly displayed – so don't expect to see this product in retail stores. It'll likely be packed in with new-built computers, as the tag-line below the product model name reads, "Every PC needs good graphics."
The lower-end G210 will have a core clock speed of 589 MHz, 512 MB of DDR2, 64-bit memory interface, 16 shader processors, VGA, DisplayPort and DVI. The GT 220 is beefier with a 615 MHz core clock, 1 GB of DDR3, 128-bit memory interface, 48 shader processors, VGA, HDMI and DVI. Both support DirectX 10.1, Open GL 3.0 and CUDA.
As they are OEM parts, prices are variable depending on the manufacturer.

NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT: AGP Has Not Been Forgotten
Less than 2 months after it unveiled the GeForce 6600 GT on PCI Express, NVIDIA now presents an AGP version. The same graphics chip is used, and the AGP connection works using an HSI bridge chip. How well does the combination work?

Nvidia GeForce 6200 TurboCache: Fast Name, Slower Speed
Nvidia's latest card for the value graphics segment features TurboCache - a slower memory access alternative despite its name. We pitted the new GeForce against entry-level cards from Ati and Nvidia, as well as Intel's integrated GMA900 graphics devices and the old-guard GeForce PCX 5750.
I have always like Nvidia and use a XFX GTX 285 on my Q9650 gaming rig running XP. It rocks anything out there.
Does it rock Crysis at a million eighty p?
What a peculiar release. I am used to seeing them release the high end parts and trickle down to OEM trash parts. They must be having problems in delivering performance on the 40nm or they would have certainly released their high profit margin parts first, not the low margin, high volume parts.
these look like the heir apparent to the 9400gt and 9500gt
I'm not sure if Tom's would be able to get a hold of OEM-only parts but if possible I'd love to see some benchmarks.
well, it's great for these sour economic times. Besides people will have a fresh card, low power (I assume), low noise, and better than Intel's integrated graphics.
I bet these will go straight into Media Centers.
Just a little FYI to people wondering why low-end is first, do you realize how many enthusiasts there are? Not many. The majority (AKA a huge percent) of the market is low-end, OEM cards.
heh im still skeptical about buying nvidia products
now if they are silent they'd be great for HTPC with light gaming.
These look like something HP would use in their slimline desktops...which are due for an update btw.
Supports DX 10.1? Thought that was only ATi territory.

The competitor also doesn't rock Crysis at a million eighty P. Look who just leveled the playing field!

I have read elsewhere (can't find it at the moment) that Nvidia was having major problems moving to 40nm. Thats why they are/were considering the AMD spinoff GlobalFoundries for their new chips.
I think the moving to DX10.1 should have been expounded upon a lil more. It wasnt very long ago, nVidia officially declared they werent going to have DX10.1 and that it wasnt really a true update/need. Guess I have to say that in the comments here.
nVidia rarely opens up with their top end cards, as theyve been burned in the past. This is just a test, with little to lose, not having to backtrack on their view of DX10.1 . Now they can make the DX10.1 claim, while still keeping it from the people in the know. Cant really promote DX10.1, and wont have DX11 for awhile, nVidia just cant win, but they set themselves up for this anyways.
Well, it was pretty funny when my friend bought a $1000 computer and it couldn't run Crysis
I just laughed at him for being so spoiled, just like I'd laugh it anyone if they spend $1000 for a gaming machine that came with igp. It's all good... 
except he's missing out on all the games that my $500 computer (gtx260) rocks at 
40nm FTW. Cant wait to see this in new user cards.
My 40nm HD4770 is laughing looking at this weak release xDD.
GT220 - GT210, do they perform a little better than the HD3300 of my 790GX mobo?
Oh nvidia, where are you're now...
10.1 is ati territory? It's more like Nvidia didn't feel it was going to catch on so didn't really put it on their chips. Mostly it's on there as DX11 Nears as a show of we can do it.
No, dont drap ATI into it, theyve supported the full DX10 from the beginning. It was nVidias call as to how they viewd this whole thing. Now, theyre just late to the game.
Plus, Id hope they could make DX10.1
40nm: good
ultra low end: bad
I wouldn't be surprised if their higher end parts don't see 40nm until dx11 cards come out
I think ATI is going to win this next round in the graphics war.

I read that and I'm like 'that's sooooo true... crap."
I just got a gtx260... why did I fall for the physx and cuda hype? Blocks 4/6 sata ports
Honestly, (sry double post) the 4850 non-reference with zalcman cooler was $100 and bfg gtx260 OCed was $150, I bought both (stupid me...) and could only return one but had to pay $30 shipping, so I sold it for $100 (lost tax lol) and kept the gtx260... why am I so regretful...? If I only had that 4850 back... I could have all my sata ports again...
I'm not sure if Tom's would be able to get a hold of OEM-only parts but if possible I'd love to see some benchmarks.
well that would basicly be having a 9400gt or 8400gs benchmarked... doubt there is any real gain... besides low power consumption
Does it rock Crysis at a million eighty p?
Someone just leveled the playing field.
Meh.
16 and 48 cores wow this must be low to mainstream stuff here. i would think that it could even come close to the hd3870 sitting in my desk ( not desktop replace that sucka with a hd4890) or it could be a rad new design which would be kool.
This is nvidia's response for HD4770? Uglier and a lot slower cards.
40mm fan argh!
ATI is releasing 4 DX11 cards by October. Nvidia is getting farther and farther behind.....death is imminent.
Guys, 40nm does not give you a "better" graphics solution for gaming. All 40nm does is use less power and generate less heat, allowing the entire package to be smaller and quieter.
These are HTPC cards and useful only in places where power, heat and space are concerns.
Compare the stream processors, bit rate and memory on these to other cards in thh nvidia line up and they are not too bad. Comparing them to ATI cards is useless unless you have a reference card to bench with.
What I am interested in is how they will perform on the bench - low power low noise (less heat means less fan needed).
40nm? Whats next? Flying cars?
