Die Shot
NVIDIA's NV5 GPU uses the Fahrenheit architecture and is made using a 250 nm production process at TSMC. With a die size of 63 mm² and a transistor count of 15 million it is a very small chip. NV5 supports DirectX 6.0. For GPU compute applications, OpenCL version N/A can be used. It features 2 pixel shaders and 0 vertex shaders, 2 texture mapping units and 2 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).
