GeForce FX 5600: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started GeForce FX 5600 sales 6 March 2003. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Rankine architecture and made with 130 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 128 MB of DDR memory clocked at 0.5 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 8 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via AGP 8x interface. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 37 Watt.
