In early 2003, NVIDIA® finally unveiled the next generation GPU by announcing the NVIDIA® GeForce™FX graphics card.

The NVIDIA® GeForce™FX provides a more powerful theater-level graphics engine that shows a more lifelike animation effect and computing ability. It also satisfied the desired hardware requirements for modern games.

The NVIDIA® GeForce™FX is the first graphics processor to adopt the 0.13μ manufacturing process and it is also the first GPU to use wideband DDR2 memory. The operating speed of the chip reaches an astonishing 500MHz, a record-breaking feat. NVIDIA®’s world number one global partner, MSI, is proud to introduce the superior-quality display cards FX5800 Ultra-TD8X and FX5800-TD8X based on the NVIDIA® GeForce™FX.
