Before we get into the game results, we want to stress that all of the GeForce cards we used for benchmarking ended up being factory overclocked models, and all of the Radeon cards were clocked at or very close to reference speeds. This isn’t an ideal situation, but we used the cards we had available for testing at their retail clock rate settings, so it’s important to keep this information in mind when scrutinizing the benchmarks.

Too late for nVidia. They should release these cards 1 year ago...
Soooo tiny itsy bitsy!
This is a nice article that points out nVidia's step into the development of 40nm chips for the market even though they didn't really cause any changes in the sub-$100 video card market. They just seemed to make it even more crowded. I can't wait for the GT300 reviews though.
They have a lot of loyal folks looking to save money these days, so they'll move some 220's. So fans will appreciate the cards.
hmmm i can see amd stomping this thing shortly with a DX11 part - kalliman is right, this is way too late in the market
as for the gt300 - also bad news if the info i have heard is correct - 6 months away is not good for nvidia
And to answer your question - No, it cannot play Crysis.
why do i feel like mac?

The 210 220 i'm pretty sure are OEM parts this is more like a proof/test of what nvidia can do, then a market move. They are nothing more then media cards meant for random dell's/gateway random desktops for people who don't really know what's in their computers.

because they cant play crysis either?

like nvidia 8300's and 9300's - never heard of them till i worked on a few HP's
This is the first time Tom's has run HAWX with DX10.1 support enabled. Those countless reviews with HD4xxx this support was not used. Does this imply something obvious?

They're retail now.
Check Newegg, they can be purchased already. Today is the official launch of the retail cards, although they've been available for a few days now.
I forgot to add that article writer seems not to have any idea what DX10.1 is all about when running HAWX without AA. Let me clarify: DX10.1 is about improving AA performance.
Well scrumworks,
Seeing as these cards cannot perform well on basic settings at low resolutions it would seem that enabling AA for these cards is a moot point.
Why do you keep making the same damn error? The 9600GSO/8800GS variant (96SP/192b) described is no longer being made. Only the 48SP/256b and 96SP/128b are available. Both are inferior to the original. At least make mention of this.

I don't see the point of these cards, 9500GT have similar power and performance and costs less. 9600GT green version would have similar power output but twice the performance of GT220 so again it's getting pwned.
Fail!
"..the GT200 family's naming convention. Let's have a closer look at what they actually contain."
Oh touchè! ;-)
If only Nvidia have something to make consumen confuse like:
Pure Video HD 4
DX 11
If not than I thing I will buy 9600 GT. Thank you....
