    GeForce 7100 Series

    The 7100 series was introduced on August 30, 2006 and is based on GeForce 6200 Series architecture. This series supports only PCI Express interface. Only one model is available and it is called 7100 GS.[1]

    Advanced Features Support:

    The 7100 series supports following advanced features:

    Intellisample 4.0 Technology (but without GCAA)
    Scalable Link Interface (SLI) Technology
    TurboCache Technology
    Nvidia PureVideo Technology

    However it is important to note that 7100 series does not support technologies such as: high dynamic range rendering (HDR) and UltraShadow II.

    NOTE: Some of the above mentioned supported features can be made accessible through using the ForceWare 91.47 driver or later releases.

    GeForce 7100 GS

    Although the 7300 LE was originally intended to be the "lowest budget" GPU from the GeForce 7 lineup, the 7100 GS has now taken its place. As it is little more than a revamped version of the GeForce 6200TC, it is designed as a basic PCI-e solution for OEMs to use if the chipset does not have integrated video capabilities. It comes in a PCI Express Graphics Bus and 512MB DDR2 VRAM.

    Performance specification

  • Graphics Bus: PCI Express
  • Memory Interface: 64-bit
  • Memory Bandwidth: 5.3 GB/s
  • Fill Rate: 1.4 billion pixel/s
  • Vertex/s: 263 million
  • Memory Type: DDR-II with TC

    GeForce 7200 Series

    The 7200 series was introduced May 8, 2007 and is based on (G72) architecture. It is designed to offer a low-cost upgrade from integrated graphics solutions. This series supports only PCI Express interface. Only one model is available, which is called 7200 GS.[2]

    Advanced Features Support:

    The 7200 series supports following advanced features:

    Intellisample 4.0 Technology
    TurboCache Technology
    High dynamic range rendering Technology
    UltraShadow II Technology
    CineFX 4.0 Engine
    Nvidia PureVideo Technology

    However it is important to note that 7200 series does not support Scalable Link Interface (SLI) Technology.

    GeForce 7200 GS

    The 7200 GS has the same memory speed as the 7300 GS, and the core frequency is the same as the 7300 LE. It has two pixel pipelines. Nvidia stated that the 7200 GS performance is 50% higher than the latest integrated graphics, it's the slowest card of the GeForce 7 Series and of the GeForce 6 Series but supports HDR and Nvidia PureVideo Technology.

    Performance Specs:

  • Graphics Bus: PCI Express
  • Memory Interface: 64-bit
  • Memory Bandwidth: 6.4 GB/s
  • Fill Rate: 900 million pixel/s
  • Vertex/s: 225 million
  • Memory Type: DDR-II with TCC

    GeForce 7300 Series

    Nvidia designed the 7300 series to be entry level gaming video cards. Currently 4 models are available: the 7300 GT, the 7300 GS, the 7300 LE, and the 7300 SE.[3]

    This series was released to replace the older Geforce 6200 series.

    Advanced Features Support:

    The 7300 series supports following advanced features:

    Intellisample 4.0 Technology
    Scalable Link Interface (SLI) Technology
    TurboCache Technology
    High dynamic range rendering Technology
    UltraShadow II Technology
    CineFX 4.0 Engine
    Nvidia PureVideo Technology

    GeForce 7300 SE

  • It uses the same core frequency and memory speed as the 7300 LE, and has two vertex and pixel shaders. In many ways, this card is actually inferior to the 7100 GS, although it still retains the HDR support.

    Performance Specs:

  • Graphics Bus: PCI Express
  • Memory Interface: 64-bit
  • Memory Bandwidth: 5.2 GB/s
  • Fill Rate: 900 million pixel/s
  • Vertex/s: 225 million
  • Memory Type: DDR-II

    GeForce 7300 LE

    The 7300 LE (LE stands for light edition) is a scaled-down version of the 7300 GS. It has DDR2 memory, and a slightly lower core clock speed (450 MHz vs. 550 MHz) according to AnandTech[4] It is only available in the PCI Express interface. With good performance/price, the 7300 LE serves as a budget video card, though most consider it too inferior for the relatively small difference in price from the GS version.

    Performance Specs:

  • Graphics Bus: PCI Express
  • Memory Interface: 64-bit
  • Memory Bandwidth: 6.4 GB/s
  • Fill Rate: 1.8 billion pixel/s
  • Vertex/s: 338 million
  • Memory Type: DDR-II

    GeForce 7300 GS

    Card with the highest core clock speed of the 7300 series. Better performance than the 7300SE/LE.

    Performance Specs:

  • Graphics Bus: PCI Express
  • Memory Interface: 64-bit
  • Memory Bandwidth: 6.5 GB/s
  • Fill Rate: 2.2 billion pixel/s
  • Vertex/s: 413 million
  • Memory Type: DDR-II

    GeForce 7300 GT

    Features a 350 MHz core frequency and a 333 MHz memory speed. It is the fastest card of the 7300 series, because of the 128-bit memory interface. The card is actually using a G73 core (instead of G72 cores like other 7300 series cards), which is usually found in the 7600 series.

    Performance Specs:

  • Graphics Bus: PCI Express
  • Memory Interface: 128-bit
  • Memory Bandwidth: 27.7 GB/s
  • Fill Rate: 3.3 billion pixel/s
  • Vertex/s: 550 million
  • Memory Type: DDR-II
