PNY Technologies thought it should pay its dues to Microsoft's Vista and launched the new Verto GeForce graphics cards, the 7600 GS 512MB AGP 8X, 7600 GS 512MB PCIe and the 7300 GT 256MB PCIe, which are based on Nvidia's GeForce 7 series of graphics processing units (GPUs) and feature an on-board graphics memory of no less than 512MB, especially integrated for running games at the highest resolutions.

"Video card buyers demand the highest quality graphics they can afford based on their PC's hardware requirements and primary applications," said Nicholas Mauro, senior marketing manager for PNY Technologies consumer graphics cards and memory. "For instance, all cards that feature Microsoft DirectX(R) 9.0 will allow users to take their Vista operating experience to the next level. The recent additions to our Verto graphics card lineup support DirectX 9.0 and provide users with the flexibility to enjoy the latest HD gaming and video applications without sacrificing dollars for performance."

The first graphics card to be showcased is the Verto GeForce 7600 GS AGP 8X that comes with a 512MB frame buffer, 400 MHz core clock, 128-bit memory interface as well as a DVI-to-VGA adapter, S-Video Cable and HDTV Break-Out Pod. Furthermore, Nvidia's well-known PureVideo Technology enables the graphics card to deliver an enhanced HD, home-theatre video quality to the AGP platform.

The second graphics card, the Verto GeForce 7600 GS PCIe, targets the hard core gamers and sports an enhanced 512 MB memory buffer and Nvidia's SLI technology, enhancing the bandwidth to up to 2x the performance of a single GPU configuration. Furthermore, SLI enables even two graphics cards to run at the same time, determining, therefore, a dramatic change of 'performance scenery'.

The last one of them, the Verto GeForce 7300 GT PCIe, has been especially developed with HDTV in mind, and therefore, comes equipped with the 7300 GT's 256MB frame buffer, 350MHZ core clock, 128-bit memory interface as well as a DVI-to-VGA adapter, S-Video Cable and HDTV Break-Out Pod for an enhanced home theatre viewing experience.
