Entry level DirectX 10
G78 will have its
DirectX 10 replacement. We wrote about this chip last week here.
Nvidia is working hard
to introduce its latest chip called G98 which should be a DirectX 10 version of
the entry level card, probably cheaper than $60.
We still don’t know the
size of the chip but we suspect that it might be 65 nanometre but we know that
it supports DirectX 10 and has a new Video processor called VP3.
The current G78 has VP1
and is DirectX 9 capable. G98 is expected in the middle of the year so we
expect to see it before the beginning of Q3.
