GeForce G 210 and GT 220 Surface (http://www.techpowerup.com/98156/GeForce_G_210_and_GT_220_Surface.html)
DirectX 11 isn't far from its being an official industrial standard. Both NVIDIA and AMD have high-end graphics processors (http://www.techpowerup.com/#) supporting the standard in the works, though it is expected that by the time DirectX 11 reaches the masses, we will be into 2010. On the course, both companies have the time to perfect their designs on the new 40 nm silicon fabrication technology (http://www.techpowerup.com/#), which will build the first waves of DirectX 11 GPUs. One of the best ways of doing this is by building products based on the current architecture on the new process, and testing the foundry-companies' abilities to handle large market demands, while benefiting from low-manufacturing costs. Following AMD's introduction of the RV740, NVIDIA recently announced (http://www.techpowerup.com/?96871) a new class of mGPUs based on the 40 nm process, and is having concrete plans of selling their desktop (http://www.techpowerup.com/#) versions by this October.

Two of the important starting points for NVIDIA are the GT218 and GT216 graphics processors. The two have already being assigned mGPU branding of GeForce G 210M and GeForce GT 230M respectively. Their desktop versions are to be branded GeForce G 210 and GeForce GT 220 respectively. VR-Zone sourced the specifications of these GPUs, by running them on the upcoming GeForce 190.15 drivers.
