The GeForce FX 5700 Engineering Sample was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on August 18th, 2003. Built on the 130 nm process, and based on the NV36S graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 9.0a. Since GeForce FX 5700 Engineering Sample does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV36S graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 133 mm² and 82 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 3 vertex shaders, 4 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). NVIDIA has paired 128 MB DDR memory with the GeForce FX 5700 Engineering Sample, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 425 MHz, memory is running at 250 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Engineering Sample draws power from 1x Molex power connector, with power draw rated at 25 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. GeForce FX 5700 Engineering Sample is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 8x interface.
