After attending Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference I left with a new appreciation of what the GPU was capable of. Gaming is not the only game in town anymore. For the majority of people the computer is for more than just 'getting your frag on'. It's about watching HD content, converting and encoding media, fixing your pictures since we all are not professional photographers and of course, finding a way to clean up our poorly shot home videos. For most people that's what the computer is used for - it's used as a tool. But of course gamingis something that at least one of the family is interested in and you have to have some gaming ability to be attractive for an all around economical solution.The inno3D GT 220 is one such card that is meant to fill the price point previously occupied by the 9500 GT. The GT 220 is built upon the 40nm GT 216 core and comes equipped with 48 Cuda cores, 16 Texture units and 8 ROP's and carries 1GB of GDDR3 memory. The use of the 40nm build process results in a low power card that uses a total of 7 watts at idle. The GT 220 is capable of sending the high definition sound and picture out through the HDMI connection, so getting the full HD experience is possible without any additional connections. The inno3D GT 220 is DirectX 10.1 and Shader model 4.1 ready and supports Physx, HDCP, and OpenGL 3.2. After testing Palit's rendition I am curious as to how the extra 512MB of memory will help this card out.
