Summary

NVIDIA started GeForce GT 220 sales 12 October 2009 at a recommended price of $79.99. This is a GT2xx architecture desktop card based on 40 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at office use. 1 GB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 0.79 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 25.3 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 6.6" (16.8 cm). No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 58 Watt.

It provides poor gaming and benchmark performance at
