Gigabyte's GeForce GT 220 OC Accelerator Spotted
Gigabyte's newest entry-level graphics accelerator is based on one of NVIDIA's first GPUs built on the 40 nm fab-process. The Gigabyte GeForce GT 220 OC (GV-N220OC-1G) is based on the new GT216-300 GPU from NVIDIA that features 48 shader processors, support for DirectX 10.1, and a 128-bit wide GDDR3 memory interface accommodating 1 GB of memory. The GPU is clocked at 720 MHz, with its shader domain at 1567 MHz, and memory at 800 MHz (1600 MHz DDR). With connectivity options that include DVI-D, D-Sub, and HDMI with a gold-plated connector (merely aesthetic, as digital connections don't benefit), the card sports a cooler design similar to its custom-design Radeon HD 4770 1 GB accelerator. The accelerator starts shipping soon at an unknown yet affordable price.

and they say DX 10.1 was useless, give me a break, :wtf:
up's maybe these is "the card" that they say will "out perform" cypress,
hmm better start to see the benches :rockout:
nV are the king of rebadging and they have to do something with the defective dies- after all the those defective wafers are expensive:laugh:
nvidia can't get all of this in same time until 2010
DX11+55nm+Gddr5

Die shrink from 55nm to 40nm? Big.
DX10.1 support? Big. (according to ATi)
Sure, it's not that innovative but it does give the HD45xx series and lesser some needed competition.
If there was a low profile version of this card, it would be perfect.
