NVIDIA Announces the Entry-level GeForce GT 720

btarunr · Aug 12, 2014

NVIDIA announced its entry-level graphics card for this generation, the GeForce GT 720. Based on the 28 nm GK208 silicon, the chip features 192 CUDA cores, and a 64-bit wide DDR3 memory interface, holding 1 GB of memory. It features core clock speeds of 797 MHz, and memory clock speeds of 1600 MHz DDR. Most cards based on this chip are expected to be single-slot, half-height, and passively cooled. NVIDIA is capturing the sub-$50 market with this chip.

so newer stuff from nvidia now is entry level

~~At last, real, actual, new chips for the low end, not just rebadged GT 2xx's!~~
Nevermind, GK208 is used in the 640 chips...

It is still GK, GK208 was released long ago for notebook use now they made a desktop card out of it.

Nvidia needs to sell all the crap they can because they are in a bind going forward as we shall publicly see soon.

How does this compare to the integrated GPU on AMD/Intel's processors?

At Nvidia's product page it also mentions the option for GDDR5. And what is also supported and their is a little irony in that, is Adaptive VSync.

With DDR3 RAM it only has 14.4MB/sec bandwidth, the same that GT210 DDR3, or GT620 have. In other words it's slow. Really slow, because it doesn't have the bandwidth necessary to run anything. Compared to iGPUs? Probably slower than an iGPU on a quad core AMD, or compared to Iris Pro. But that's just a guess. With 64bit data bus and DDR3 it's useless even with 19200 CUDA cores, not 192. Now that I mention it, it could be a good cheap option for CUDA or PhysX.
