Quick Look: NVIDIA MCP73 Motherboard GPU

NVIDIA's nForce 7-series mGPU chipsets for the Intel Platform is finally here. HardwareZone takes a quick look at NVIDIA's first foray into the Intel IGP market to see if the GeForce 7-series mGPU can offer what Intel's GMA parts have yet to achieve - proper onboard graphics processing and 3D imaging:

In this article, we will be looking at the Intel supporting versions of the new GeForce 7-series mGPU chipsets. The main players for the entry-level and mainstream segments are SiS and Intel themselves, and as expected, NVIDIA has a solution to cover everyone. At the mainstream level, the GeForce 7150/nForce 630i and GeForce 7100/nForce 630i chipsets will compete with Intel's G965 family in the IGP performance category while the 7050/nForce 630i and 7050/nForce 610i are more within the ultra-budget range of the SiS672FX. Intel's G31 and G33 chipsets stand somewhere in the middle for the budget entertainment and HTPC market.
