Introduction: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200


About the GeForce FX 5200-based Graphics Card 

The NVIDIA® GeForce™ FX 5200 GPUs (graphics processing units) deliver cinematic-quality effects, studio-quality color, industry-leading performance, and driver stability you expect from NVIDIA. The GeForce FX 5200 GPUs are engineered for compatibility with the latest gaming and multimedia software.


Key Features and Benefits

  • ATX form factor
  • 128-bit graphics pipeline
  • 128 MB DDR memory
  • DVI-I, VGA, and S-Video connectors
  • NVIDIA CineFX™ engine delivers film-quality effects and studio-quality color for every application. 
  • 128-bit studio-quality color delivers outstanding image quality for demanding applications.
  • DirectX 9.0 optimizations and support delivers excellent compatibility and performance for all of the latest gaming and multimedia applications.
  • OpenGL® 1.4 optimizations and support ensures application compatibility and performance for all OpenGL applications.
  • AGP8X Support includes Fast Writes and sideband addressing  The new AGP8X bus technology provides double the bandwidth of AGP4X — 2.1GB/sec. vs. 1.1GB/sec. AGP8X enables more complex models and detailed textures, creating richer and more lifelike environments. Uninterrupted data flow allows for smoother video streaming and faster, more seamless gameplay, and a highly stable environment.  
  •  NVIDIA nView multi-display technology provides a convenient way to multi-task and process information. Instead of stacking window upon window within the confines of a single display, you can spread your work across multiple displays. nView provides a quick and easy way for you to multiply your Microsoft® Windows® desktop, thereby increasing your efficiency and enabling you to see what you’ve been missing. Using nView, you can select any combination of multiple displays, including digital flat panels, analog CRTs, and TVs and also modify the display properties using an intuitive software user interface.
