![]() NV40 die – 6800 Ultra – to “almost” exact same scale It is based on the 0.11 micron process as with the 6600 GPU, and makes these latest chips from NVIDIA are significantly smaller than the original NV40s (as our pictures below demonstrate). The NV44 chip, which the 6200TC was codenamed, is a rather small chip that measures only 10mm x 11mm for a total die size of 110mm^2. The 6200TC does more than just bring the GeForce 6 series architecture to the sub $100 price point, it also introduces some new memory technology as well as a modified core architecture as a result. The only thing left for NVIDIA is an integrated video chipset, but this seems to be an adventure for 2005. This chip is meant for the entry-level graphics market and completes NVIDIA’s circle of DX9 capable cards (with Shader Model 3.0) for all price ranges. ![]() ![]() NVIDIA recently had a good portion of the press out at its Santa Clara offices to show off their next entry into the GeForce 6-series graphics card – the 6200 with TurboCache (appropriately shortened to 6200TC from this point forward). NV44 – 6200 w/ TurboCache NVIDIA wants to bring the majority of their 6000-series features down below the $100 price range into the entry level market but with a card with only a 32MB frame buffer?
