NVIDIA Introduces 7200GS Entry-Level GPU

NVIDIA introduced the GeForce 7200 GS GPU, a new, faster, entry-level GPU. GeForce 7200 GS is designed to offer a low-cost upgrade from integrated graphics solutions and is built for Microsoft Windows Vista—the first operating system to require a dedicated GPU to realize its full potential. Graphics cards equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce 7200 GS GPU are available today from e-tailers and retailers worldwide at prices under $50 and are being offered in PCs from leading OEMs and system builders. GeForce 7200 GS GPUs provide support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0, Shader Model 3.0, high dynamic-range (HDR) lighting support and NVIDIA PureVideo technology for smooth and better video playback.



The partners offering graphics cards based on the GeForce 7200 GS GPUs, include Albatron, ASUSTek Computer Inc., Biostar, ECS, EVGA Corporation, Foxconn, Galaxy, Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd., Innovision, Leadtek Research Inc., MSI Computer Corporation, Palit Microsystems, Inc., Point of View, PNY Technology, SPARKLE Computer Co., Ltd., XFX, Zogis, and Zotac.

Ujesh Desai, General Manager of desktop GPUs at NVIDIA said "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. 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."
