The GeForce FX 5700 Ultra was a performance-segment graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on October 23rd, 2003. Built on the 130 nm process, and based on the NV36B graphics processor, in its FX 5700 Ultra variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0a. Since GeForce FX 5700 Ultra does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV36B 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 GDDR2 memory with the GeForce FX 5700 Ultra, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 475 MHz, memory is running at 453 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Ultra draws power from 1x Molex power connector, with power draw rated at 46 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. GeForce FX 5700 Ultra is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 8x interface. The card measures 229 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 199 US Dollars.
