Konklusion
Denne gang blev det altså til et kig på nVidias bedste bud på et kort der har alle de nyeste teknologier, samtidigt med at det er ekstremt billigt. Man får uden tvivl meget for sine penge selvom at spilydelsen halter gevaldigt.
Innovation og Teknologi - 5Det er svært at give kortet meget andet end 5 point i denne afdeling da det har arvet langt de fleste af de størrer korts teknologier samtidigt med at pris og strømforbrug er helt i bund. Et kort der kan præstere 1080P HDPC, directX10 og formår at trække de nyeste medier som HD-DVD og Blu-ray på selv meget langsomme maskiner fortjener stor ros.
Bundle og tilbehør - 2Bundlet til dette low-end kort var bestemt ikke noget at råbe hurra for. Jeg savnede flere kabler der kunne anvendes i forbindelse med HTPC brug, fx HDMI kabler osv.
Design og layout - 4Kortet design var ganske fornuftigt og var henvendt især til HTPC og til støjsvage miljøer, hvilket altid er possitivt. Derudover er der ikke så meget at sige om kortet. Det får 4 point for sin køleløsning der må siges at være over middel og en klar forbedring ifht. små hvinende blæsere, der desværre ofte ses på denne type kort.
Software - 3Der er ikke meget at bemærke her. Den medfølgende software virkede upåklageligt og som man kunne forvente. Derfor får kortet 3 stjerner.
Ydelse - 3Ydelsen må bestemt siges at ligge på det jævne, men igen så er kortet ikke lavet til spilbrug, men mere til allround og HTPC brug. Det må siges at være lidt ærgeligt at ydelsen er så ringe i spillene, men man er altså klart gået på kompris for at få det mest prisbillige kort ifht. hvad de nyeste teknologier angår.
Pris - 4Prisen ligger bestemt i den gode ende i forhold til hvad man får for pengene ifht feautures og design. Det er et af de billigste grafikkort man kan få idag, og det til trods for at det er udstyret med 512 mb ddr2 ram og passiv køling for ikke at snakke om DX10 mulighed og alle de andre ting der er blevet nævnt i artiklen. Derfor får kortet 4 point, da ydelsen kunne ønskes en anelse bedre for at opnå topkarakter.
UK Conclusion
Throught this article we have taken a look at nVidia's newest bid on a card which has all the newest features and at the same time is extremely cheap. There is no doubt about the fact that you get very good value for your money all though the gaming performance is quite weak.
Innovation and technology - 5It is hard to rate the card lower then 5 points in this section because it has inherited must of the feauteres from the larger cards in the series while the pricetag and the powerconsumption i very low. A card which is able to master 1080P HDPC, directX10 and to run the newest optical media like HD-DVD and Blu-ray disc even on a very slow PC deserves great credit.
Bundle and extras - 2The bundle which comes with this card was not really impressive. I missed some more cables that could be used for a HTPC eg. a HDMI plug.
Design and layout - 4The design of the card was very sensible and was intended especially for HTPC usage and for noisefree environments which is always positive. Appart from that there is not much to be said about the card. I have given it 4 points for the cooling solution which is far better then the cooling solutions you often see on cards of this type.
Software - 3There is not much to comment on in this categori. The software which was bundled with the card worked as it was intended. That is why the card has been given 3 points.
Ydelse - 3The performance of the card was not very impressive, but the card is not really intended for gaming but for allround and HTPC usage. It is a bit of a disappointment that the performance in gaming is so poor but a compromise has been made to make the cheapest card with the newest technologies.
Price - 4The price is curtainly with in a fair limit compared to what you get for your money. It is one of the cheapest card you can buy and you still get 512 mb ddr2 of ram and passive cooling, not to mention the DirectX 10 abillity and the other feauteres mentioned in this article. I have given the card 4 points because the gaming performance was not good enough for maximum points.
