NVIDIA Announces GeForce 7200 GS

NVIDIA's unveils its newest $50 entry level DX9 graphics card

NVIDIA today announced its latest entry-level graphics offering, the GeForce 7200 GS. The GeForce 7200 GS delivers Vista Premium Ready graphics performance at a low $50 price point. NVIDIA touts full support for DirectX 9.0, shader model 3.0 and high dynamic-range with the entry-level GeForce 7200 GS.

“Windows Vista, which benefits greatly from additional 3D performance, is gaining market share and mainstream applications such as Microsoft Maps, Google Picasso and iTunes are also starting to take advantage of 3D graphics,” Ujesh Desai, general manager of desktop GPUs, said. “By making a small investment in graphics performance, customers buying Vista PCs can go from an underwhelming experience to one that delivers exceptional performance and features.”

NVIDIA has severely crippled the G72 graphics core compared to its GeForce 7300-series, which uses the same core. The GeForce 7200 GS makes do with half the pipelines as the GeForce 7300 GS. This brings the total pixel pipelines to two, each with one texture unit. NVIDIA claims the GeForce 7200 GS delivers graphics performance that is 50% faster than integrated graphics solution. Strangely, AMD’s 690G integrated graphics chipset features four pixel pipelines, each with one texture unit.

PureVideo video processing is also supported; however, NVIDIA is unclear if the GeForce 7200 GS supports PureVideo HD for high-definition video decoding acceleration.

Add-in board manufacturers are free to equip GeForce 7200 GS graphics cards with 128MB or 256MB of DDR2 memory. NVIDIA recommends 800 MHz for GeForce 7200 GS graphics cards. The DDR2-800 memory attaches to the GPU via a 64-bit memory interface. NVIDIA clocks the GeForce 7200 GS GPU at 450 MHz.

GeForce 7200 GS based graphics cards will be available to OEMs, system builders and retail. NVIDIA add-in board partners with GeForce 7200 GS products include Albatron, ASUS, Biostar, ECS, EVGA, Foxconn, Galazy, Gigabyte, Innovision, Leadtek, MSI, Palit, Point of View, PNY Technology, SPARKLE, XFX, Zogis and Zotac.

Is this one better than the 7100 GS?? :D:D:D

Pathetic. Just what we needed :oo:
They could have released a 8100GS instead.

Has to be, but basically, both are utter crap!
These are intended for people to run very old game and use Vista's aero display and help with some video decoding. Not for gaming! No way!!!

Hey the word crap is a relative thing you know.... you call the 7100GS crap coz you have a nice X800GTO with you.... but a guy with a GeForce MX4000 won't call the 7100 GS crap right??

8MB Riva TNT Card which I had in ma second comp in 1999 looks better than this (It had a nice red color Heat sink):rolleyes::rolleyes::lol::lol::lol:

7200 GS :eek: :lol: :lol: :lol: Now :shocked: :lol: :lol:

No, usually they call the games crap! :lol:

Because they don't want to say that they made the mistake. There are lot of people who can buy decent VGAs than 4400MX, but they don't because they only look at the amount of RAM present. Can't help it.

7200 GS :eek: :lol: :lol: :lol: Now :shocked: :lol: :lol:
nVidia are crazy!

[Anusha]

Heat Sink color Performance :confused: :oo:
Well it does have a small impact. But not speed wise, but thermal wise ;) :D

Heat Sink color Performance :confused: :oo:

Hey Bro Don't you know English:confused::confused::rolleyes: , I said Looks better than this.
Not the performance

[Anusha]

I think what he said was saying is that he doesn't care about the looks, as long as it's fast. :)

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[NEW AGE]

Thanx for da information

[Anusha]

Thanx for da information
Mata thank kalaata kamak nae. Hebei, nVidia ewuntanang hondak wenne nae mewa den release karanawata.

[NEW AGE]

Ekath hari!!!!

[gayannr]

Well it does have a small impact. But not speed wise, but thermal wise ;) :D
:yes: :yes: Radiation!
But that learners' guy said something else I think:D

[Anusha]

:yes: :yes: Radiation!
Blacker the better. But it has to be black by nature. Painting it black won't help I think.

[gayannr]

I think it'll help(may be a little) because heat dissipation medium is the surface ne?

[Anusha]

But "paint" is not a conductor.

[gayannr]

But "paint" is not a conductor.
Hey not Rubber paint:D ,I mean metallic

[gayannr]

I think what he said was saying is that he doesn't care about the looks, as long as it's fast. :)
Well said:yes: :yes:

[Ranhiru]

Coooooooooool! Wish i had one of these!

[gayannr]

Coooooooooool! Wish i had one of these!
:confused: :confused:

[Anusha]

Coooooooooool! Wish i had one of these!

Color eke performance wenasak tiyanawada...:confused:

[dinukaperera]

elakiri

[gayannr]

Color eke performance wenasak tiyanawada...:confused:
it is not performance wise but it impacts cooling up to some extent.(radiation :D)

[zCexVe]

hmmm.. when is it cumin to SL??
real soon.All the crap fallen from those a**es come real soon to lk.:lol::lol::lol:

[zCexVe]

Color eke performance wenasak tiyanawada...:confused: Dont know of the PCB colour.But if the paint is metallic and its Black the heat will go fast.(Black is the most white is the lowest,dont knw of others).

And for mobos usually crap are green,mid range r red,high mids are yellow,highends are black.(Usually)

[zCexVe]

Pathetic. Just what we needed :oo:

8200GS would be more good.or 8300GT sumthing.

[Anusha]

8200GS would be more good.or 8300GT sumthing.
8300 and 8400 are supposed to be OEM only. 8500GT onwards is what people should aim for. 8500GT is under 100 dollars, so it shouldn't be a big problem for most people.
