News nVidia launches a new 7xxx series card

[Tefra]

It seems like nVidia had a forgotten chip in a desk and after the 8600 and 8500 launches decided to push it out. GeForce 7200 GS is designed to offer a low-cost upgrade from integrated graphics solutions and is built for Microsoft Windows® Vista™. GeForce 7200 GS GPUs provide full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0, Shader Model 3.0 for more realism in 3D games and applications, high dynamic-range ( HDR) lighting support for advanced 3D realism, and NVIDIA PureVideo™ technology.


Graphics cards equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce 7200 GS GPU are available today from e-tailers and retailers worldwide at aggressive prices under $50 and are being offered in PCs from leading OEMs and system builders.

I don't know about you, but isn't that kind of useless, I would understand maybe a 8200 or something but... I don't know, after integrated graphics.. why not get a 8500 or something or a cheaper mid-end last gen graphic solution... Then again I've never had that specific need.

Well they needed one more series in the market as an excuse not to drop prices, come to think about.
