NVIDIA just send out a press release to introduce its GeForce GT 430. As revealed earlier today by several AIB partners, this card has 96 CUDA cores and a 128-bit memory bus. The reference model has a 700MHz core, 1400MHz shaders and 1GB DDR3 clocked at 900MHz. Power consumption is just 49W and the price tag is $79, which is similar to AMD's Radeon HD 5570.
NVIDIA today announced the latest addition to its Fermi class of graphics processing units (GPUs), the NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GT 430, which was specifically designed to provide the horsepower needed to power today's digital media PCs and provide the high definition video and audio experiences that desktop customers demand.
