The 220 definetly could play fallout 3 very well also sacred 2 and quite a few other titles. Heck even the 210 could play fallout 3.

What still puzzles me is G210. Based off GT200 and with 16 processors doesn't seem possible. 24 SPs would be more likely.

GT 220 seems to be what ION 2 will be based upon.

One subtle point for CUDA programmers... these are the first single slot cards that have compute model > 1.1. This means many CUDA operations are a lot more efficient (memory coalescing especially) than on older G90 cards. These are compute model 1.2 which means they don't have native double precision support though... that's model 1.3 and reserved for the double-slot G200 cards.

ION 2 will probably be based off this GT 220. It certainly fits the rumors about it.

This might be crazy
but they should have 2 skus for low profile card (the long one)
and the shorter card.

Actually these cards will be pretty good for Windows 7+aero. I noticed that the window-preview on the task bar doesn't last long on systems with little graphics memory. Is Windows using the graphics card to store that info? If so, cheaper cards with more RAM would make sense.

For a business/non-gamer machine, I want a card that is
- cheap,
- low power,
- quiet (preferably fanless),
- easily handles Aero,
- supports dual hdmi/dvi,
- can relieve the cpu a little from full screen hd video

In fact, since I mainly game on console's now, I would like this for my home computer too!

I was looking at an HP system that was on sale and these cards came up as a customization option under Graphics:

http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_series.do?store...e=computer_store&category=desktops&series_name=p...[]

At the time I had no idea what the G210 or GT 120 were supposed to be, and I ALMOST fell for the '1GB of onboard memory for the AWESOME!' ploy. That is, until I figured that if its ONLY $60 more than friggin' Intel graphics than it can't be that much better.

They look incredibly weak. Here's to hoping that big manufacturers don't market them as 'awesome discrete graphics' (hint: they will anyway)

It looks like they have finally had some success with smaller chips in a smaller process, hopefully they can translate this to more complex designs i.e. the upcoming GT300 series.

Plus, these have to be better than integrated Intel solutions, right?

At least they're better than what usually ship with OEM's.

The problem the arises with these is the Best Buy sales guy will say "And this computer has a discrete nvidia graphics, perfect for gaming". Then people will go home and wonder why games look like slide shows.
