The GeForce FX 5200 Ultra Mac Edition was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on March 6th, 2003. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the NV34 graphics processor, in its NV34 5200 Ultra variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0a. Since GeForce FX 5200 Ultra Mac Edition does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV34 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 124 mm² and 45 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 2 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). NVIDIA has paired 128 MB DDR memory with the GeForce FX 5200 Ultra Mac Edition, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 325 MHz, memory is running at 325 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra Mac Edition does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 2x DVI. GeForce FX 5200 Ultra Mac Edition is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP Pro 8x interface. The card measures 171 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution.
