Game Benchmarks: Far Cry 2
Far Cry 2 is showing a closer race between the factory-overclocked GeForce GT 220 and the reference Radeon HD 4670. The factory-overclocked GeForce 9600 GSO from Gigabyte once again takes top honors. And once again, the Radeon HD 4550 takes a pyrrhic victory over the new GeForce 210, with neither card able to muster playable frame rates.

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.
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....
Nobody needs anything below DX11!
The future is GPU computing and nothing below DX11 capable hardware is worth it.
mmm, you have to wonder why they released these cards now, just before Windows 7 launch. I think its because they want to give mew buyers the latest technology at a very affordable price (unlike the 58xx which costs a fair amount).
So new buyers will opt for this card, not thinking of performance gains, rather thinking they have the newest with 10.1 drivers which works o so sweet with W7 (so were told).
Me, atleast we know what Nvidia is coming up with, and i`m sure it will give ATI a run for there money, and this is coming from a ATI fan!
