Nvidia Geforce 605 and GT 620 are new old Fermi for OEM

At the end of March, Nvidia launched the Geforce GTX 680, introducing the 600 series of graphics cards for desktops. Now it’s time for two low-cost variants aimed at system builders (OEMs) to make their entrance, albeit with much cooler specifications.

It is basically the previous generation Geforce GT 520 under the new name GT 620, and Geforce 510 with the label upgraded to Geforce 605. This means the architecture Fermi with 48 CUDA cores, as well as DDR3 memory on a 64-bit memory bus.

Despite striking similarities, however, Nvidia has taken the opportunity to make some minor changes. The OpenGL support has been upgraded from 4.1 to 4.2, and the newcomers have received support for up to 1 GB of graphics memory. The models have also received modified TDP values, from 29 W for both variants to 30 W for the Geforce GT 620 and 25 W for the Geforce 605, respectively.

The Nvidia Geforce 605 and GT 620 are primarily intended for system builders such as Dell, HP and Lenovo. Whether the models will reach the regular consumer market is unclear.
