GeForce 7100 GS
The 110nm chip, which did not support HDR (high dynamic range rendering), was a modified version of the GeForce 6200TC. The fact that the 7100GS, unlike the one based on the identical GeForce 6200TC chip, supported SLI is the merit of the company's software department (it's a matter of drivers). The chips of both video cards worked at a frequency of 350 MHz, and the card's memory was even somewhat slower - 667 MHz (700 MHz for 6200TC) with the same 64-bit bus. In order to reduce the cost of final products, NVIDIA chose to use DDR2 instead of GDDR2 in the reference design.
Unlike the GeForce 6200TC, the 7100GS came with no less than 128MB of physical memory (also expandable up to 512MB via TurboCache system memory technology). The imminent release of Vista and the requirements of its interface to the video accelerator played a role here.
It can be noted that the GeForce 6200TC could be turned into a GeForce 7100GS by simply changing the firmware.
