NVIDIA with two new graphics cards in its next summer Line-Up, the GeForce 260 GTX and GeForce 280 GTX, which have both the next generation of cards.

Both using video-D10U nuclear, but the GTX 280 is the complete version of the fat processor uses all flows Unified 240 processors. The GTX 260 are only 192, a version arrosèrent. The 260 and 280 GPU support three-way SLI NVIDIA also include planning PhysX support, but still, there is no information on it, we’ll have to wait June 18.

The two cards using the processor D10U, they are 50% better than the Shader including a reference to the oldest D9 GPU’s. One thing you need to know about the chip D10U, but it does not provide support for extensions on DirectX 10.0. It seems to me that the launch of the GeForce GTX 280 / 260 Next-Gen NVIDIA are not enough to go after Intel.

NVIDIA Next Generation GeForce GTX 280 / 260

The NVidia 7600GS chip only supports DDR2 memory instead of DDR3, which effectively limits the speed to less than an effective 1GHz. There’s no point in running the core speed out of step with the memory, so while you’ll typically find a 7600GT runs at 560MHz/1.4GHz, the reference speed for the 7600GS is 400MHz/800MHz.

The MSI has a couple of tricks up its sleeve which ought to make it very appealing to a certain category of office worker. For one thing the NX7600GS has a passive heatsink so it is completely silent in operation. This is becoming relatively common these days and we have to say that the MSI heatsink is little more than a finned slab of aluminium, but it works perfectly well and keeps the card nice and cool.

Compared to many other GeForce 7600GS graphics cards the MSI lacks appeal, with one important proviso. It has a pair of DVI outputs, so provided you run dual TFT displays on your desk with digital connections you should take a good, long look at the MSI. If you have a single display we suggest that you walk on by.
