The new models GeForce 8600 GTS, 8600 GT and 8500 GT will cost less, but still let PC users enjoy games that currently require a DirectX 10 graphic card.
The chips, designed especially for Windows Vista, work with PureVideo-HD technology. Directly accessing graphics processors video capabilities, they will allow computers to display both HD-DVD and Bluray discs.
Graphic cards with the new chips should sell at prices between 89 and 229 euros (120 and 311 dollars).
