I wonder which one they make more money out of...?
It's the sad truth that we don't represent a 'significant' chunk of their market. We should consider ourselves loucky they provide for us at all.
I think Nvidia (and AMD) make a lot more money from low-end and midrange parts than they do from their top-end cards so it isn't a big surprise to see them using a smaller die size for those parts.Firegod said:Tbh they should have spent the effort getting that into a better card. imo.
smaller die size means more cores per wafer = more profit.

Just like the x1950 XTX, that was only released by ATi so they culd say 'we got the first GDDR4 card out', now what a suprise, nvidia release a low end 65nm card just before ATi lauch their 65nm ones so they can say 'we got the first 65nm card out', its priceless. 
Of course its only a Dx9 card and not a Dx10 8800 or something, its just so they can say 'we were first with a 65nm card', they aint gona release a top end card just to say that, any crappy card will do as long they get a 65nm out first before ATi, could have been an old Voodoo2 for all they care, 65nm before ATi is all that matters, they gona be know for getting to 65nm first now.

I know, it just seems a waste that's all.

Not suprised that they used the Entry level chips to test the process on, it allows them to perfect the design on a smaller process at a cheaper price. This way the wastage in the learning process is not as expensive.
Once they have learnt the tricks of the 65nm process then we will see it arrive with the more powerful cards that are more expensive to manufacture.
Intel and AMD both do this as well.

just read on nzone forums that the 7300gt nvidia is trying to push out old stock so that they can introduce a 65nm 7300gt card. thats gonna awsome with low power consumption and half height size too. finally some gaming is possible for integrated gfx card users.
You mean something like this...Cyber-Mav said:
