• GeForce 7600 GT GPU – this new midrange GPU is destined to inherit the unofficial title of "price/performance leader" from the product it replaces, the GeForce 6600 GT GPU.

These new GPUs are all immediately available from leading add-in card manufacturers, retailers, and e-tailers.

"NVIDIA continues to deliver the best GPU solutions for each market segment that we serve," said Ujesh Desai, general manager of desktop GPUs at NVIDIA. "By combining GeForce 7 Series GPUs with our NVIDIA nForce MCPs and NVDIA SLI technology, we are able to deliver a total platform solution that provides astonishing performance and immaculate image quality for our customers."

By making the award-winning GeForce 7 Series graphics architecture available to a variety of key market segments, NVIDIA has made it easier for PC OEMs, ODMs, and consumers to harness the power of the GeForce 7 architecture to drive extreme HD resolutions of 1920x1200 and higher. This enables superb visual quality and performance for playback of HD and DVD content as well as a stunning widescreen PC gaming experience.

Boasting the renowned GeForce 7 Series features—which contributed to NVIDIA sweeping nearly every GPU product-of-the-year award from leading technology publications—the new GeForce 7900 and 7600 GPUs deliver advanced technologies including:

• The industry’s only GPU architecture with full support for Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 Shader Model 3.0—including vertex texture fetch (VTF) —enabling advanced shading programs for more realistic effects.
• H.264 hardware accelerated support through NVIDIA PureVideo™ technology—the combination of HD video processors and software delivers a HD home-theater quality video experience to the PC.
• Designed for NVIDIA SLI™ technology— a revolutionary platform innovation that allows users to intelligently scale graphics performance by combining multiple NVIDIA graphics solutions in a single system with an NVIDIA nForce SLI MCP. Using proprietary software algorithms and dedicated scalability logic in each NVIDIA GPU and MCP, SLI technology delivers the highest performance computing solution.
• A high performance 3D architecture built for Microsoft Windows Vista™— the industry’s first operating system to require a dedicated GPU to realize its full potential^iv.

Some of the world’s leading add-in card partners will be offering graphics cards based on the new NVIDIA GeForce 7 Series GPUs, including Albatron, AOpen Inc., ASUSTek Computer Inc., BFG Technologies Inc., Biostar, Chaintech Computer Co. Ltd., Cheer Ascent, City Gate / Triple-D, Club3D, ELSA, Epsco, EVGA Corporation, Gainward Co.
