Nvidia launches GT 545 and GT 530 graphics cards

Nvidia has launched two new graphics cards to its Geforce 500 series line-up, the GT 545 and the GT 530. Now if your a little confused because you haven't heard anything on these cards don't worry, thats because these cards have been reserved for the OEM market only.

The performance orientated version of the two, the GT 545 features 144 CUDA cores and will be available in two versions. The first will be based on GDDR3 with either 1.5GB or 3GB of memory running on a 192-bit bus. The GPU core is clocked at 720MHz with the memory clocked at 1800MHz. The second version is based on GDDR5 memory running a 128-bit bus. The GPU is clocked at 870MHz and 3996Mhz for the memory.

The lower end GT 530 graphics card will be low-profile and features only 96 CUDA cores. It will come in 1GB and 2GB flavours with a 128-bit bus. The GPU core and memory also clocks in at 700/1400Mhz.

No definite word has been given whether or not these cards will end up in the retail market. However it would appear that at this stage the graphics cards are purely for OEMs.
