As especificações e fotos da linha de Baixo custo da Nvidia ja sairam.

[Catarina]

Back in November 2002, we previewed the GeForce FX 5800 Ultra, NVIDIA's latest high-end enthusiast card, which is yet to be seen in stores. Now four months later, we're introducting to you its offsprings - GeForce FX 5200 Ultra and GeForce FX 5600 Ultra. There'll also be non-Ultra versions the 5200 Ultra, as well as a non-Ultra 5800. The non-Ultras are the slower clocked of the Ultra brethen, therefore costs less and gives a little less performance.

To lessen confusion, I'll put in a table each cards, what they're aimed at, and their respective pricepoints/MSRP:



Segment Card Price
Hardcore 5800 Ultra $399+
Enthusiast 5800 $299
Performance 5600 $199
Mainstream 5200 Ultra $149
Value 5200 $99

The 5600 Ultra is the successor to the Ti4400 and Ti4200, whilst the 5200 Ultra and non-Ultra are the MX's. As you can see, NVIDIA are no longer using the MX name for their mainstream/value cards. The beauty of the 5600 and 5200 cards are that they both support all DirectX 9 features, nothing has been cut out, so you can soon get a DirectX 9 video card for less than $100.

As you can see below in the picture, the 5600 and 5200 Ultra's will have a standard cooling system of an aluminium heatsink and a thermal fan to keep the GPU cool, whilst the memory modules themselves are exposed. They don't get hot enough to warrant any ramsinks anyways. There's also a power connector that you'll need to plug in (from the power supply) to achieve best results. If you forget to plug it in, it will throttle down the graphics core and memory clock speeds and not run at peak performance.

Roleto pro Deker e para o pessoal do Clube do Hardware

mas vc concorda que de nada adianta, alias, nem deveriam ter colocado por que se a geforce fx 5800 não vingou em performance essa linha ai será uma tristeza quando falamos em rodar qualquer coisa feita em dx9...

ops, nem deviam ter colocado não tem nada a ver, mas é vacilo lançar uma placa assim, sairam do erro de placas da série MX e entraram em outro... triste.
