NVIDIA's nForce 420/220: It's finally here

Memory Bandwidth Performance (continued)
The nForce 420-D's write bandwidth is very impressive but what is quite interesting is the fact that it's noticeably higher than the 220-D's write bandwidth according to Cachemem. Shortly we'll be able to see exactly how much of this will translate into a real world performance difference between the two…
Here we see the positive effects of DASP and what happens when the IGP's arbiter has to deal with memory requests from the integrated GPU in addition to the CPU's requests. The only underpar performer here is the nForce 220-D with integrated video enabled where its latency is approaching that of the year old AMD 760 chipset.

Max Payne - Brings a lot of good memories from that era. Running it at 1024x768 at max quality and getting ~30 fps? Really impressive for a iGPU of that time.I remembr playing it on Pentium III 500 with ATI Radeon Pro AGP 2X 4MB. Performance was really terrible due to texture swapping .. even at 800x600.
