GeForce GT 220 And 210: DirectX 10.1 And 40nm Under $80

Synthetic Benchmarks: 3DMark Vantage
To keep things simple, we've disabled PhysX optimizations in 3DMark so that we're honing in on raw gaming performance, not PhysX feature performance.
3DMark suggests that Gigabyte's overclocked GeForce GT 220 will indeed perform closely to the Radeon HD 4670, and that Gigabyte's overclocked GeForce 210 might fall a bit short of the Radeon HD 4550.
Of course, 3DMark is a synthetic benchmark and experience has shown us that its scoring does not necessarily reflect actual game performance. Let's see what the actual real-world titles have to say.

lemonade4 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. :)Reply -
Proximon 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.Reply -
apache_lives hmmm i can see amd stomping this thing shortly with a DX11 part - kalliman is right, this is way too late in the marketReply
as for the gt300 - also bad news if the info i have heard is correct - 6 months away is not good for nvidia -

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.Reply -
