For a long time now, NVIDIA has counted on their GT 220 to compete against the HD 5550 and HD 5570 in the sub-$99 market. It was thoroughly outclassed by ATI’s products but now NVIDIA is introducing a Fermi-based card into the $80 price point: the GT...

At the recent NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang admitted to the production delays of Fermi, but with the release of the more mainstream-friendly GeForce GTX 460 and GTS 450, Fermi is slowly but surely gaining traction amongst...
As an entry-level card, the GeForce GT 430 is a decent offering from NVIDIA. But it neither impresses nor excites, and we find it hard to recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a serious upgrade.In terms of performance, it is somewhere between the Ge...

The last of the Fermis?Think of NVIDIA's Fermi architecture and the big beastie that's the GeForce GTX 480 springs to mind. The range-topping GPU is only one of six current Fermi-derived desktop products available, as the range has been fleshed out wi...
NVIDIA's release of the GeForce GT 430 GPU is interesting insofar as it's the first partner-produced Fermi product that's not designed as a gamer's card. Rather, given the reductions in architecture needed to hit a £60 retail price point, the GT 430 is...

The GeForce GT 430 is a budget graphics card, no question; at about $79 it's not intended for anyone who has aspirations of anything resembling serious gaming. For people on a very tight budget, however, it has a very attractive price tag, quiet operat...

It's taken Nvidia a while to push its new GPU architecture down to all the major price tiers, but now that Fermi has broken the $100 barrier, it looks like the process is more or less complete. The newest addition to Nvidia's line is the GeForce GT 430...
Good video rendering performance. Inexpensive. Can be modified to fit in half-height cases.
Poor choice for gaming.
If you only need your video card to drive a home theater PC, Asus' ENGT430 will do the job well. Just don't expect it to excel at much else. Buy it now...
