Die Shot
NVIDIA's NV17 GPU uses the Celsius architecture and is made using a 150 nm production process at TSMC. With a die size of 65 mm² and a transistor count of 29 million it is a very small chip. NV17 supports DirectX 7.0. Modern GPU compute technologies are not available. It features 2 pixel shaders and 0 vertex shaders, 4 texture mapping units and 4 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support).
