14 DAY TRIAL // Santa Clara, California-based NVIDIA has had an impressive lineup at this year's CeBIT show in Hanover, Germany. The graphics company took the opportunity to roll out some new products as part of both its desktop and its mobile product portfolios, with the introduction of the new GTX 200M and GTS 100M series of GPUs, as well as the new GeForce GTS 250 desktop graphics card. One could say that the only thing missing was those much anticipated Ion-based mini PCs. However, it looks like the graphics chip maker has also silently updated its new GeForce 100-series desktop graphics cards with the introduction of four new models.
The new GeForce GTS 150, GT 130, GT 120 and G100 are basically rebranded versions on some of NVIDIA's GeForce 9-series graphics cards, featuring 128, 48, 32 and 8 Stream processors, respectively. They also bring support for DirectX 10, OpenGL 2.1 and PCI-Express x16 interfaces. However, it appears that, at least for the time being, these new cards are only targeted at the OEM use, meaning that they won't be available for end-users.
As far as technical specifications are concerned, the GTS 150 comes with a 256-bit memory interface, 1GB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 2000MHz, a 738MHz GPU core speed and a 1836MHz shader clock. The GT130 comes with a 192-bit memory interface, 768MB of memory working at 1000MHz, with the GPU and shaders working at 500MHz and 1250MHz, respectively. The new GeForce GT120, obviously meant for the entry-level market, has a 128-bit memory interface, 512MB of DDR2 memory working at 1000MHz, while the GPU and shader clock speeds have been set at 500Mhz and 1400MHz, respectively.
The last of the bunch, the new GeForce GT100 was a 64-bit memory interface with GPU, Shader and memory frequencies of 567MHz, 1400Mhz and 1000MHz, respectively. This card comes with a total of 512MB of graphics memory.
