GeForce FX 5700
It is based on the NV36 core, derived from the NV38 core (GeForce FX 5950) by reducing the number of pipelines and reducing clock frequencies. Compared to its predecessor, the GeForce FX 5600, this video card has increased the number of vertex processors from two to three, improved memory bandwidth saving technologies (frame buffer compression, early Z-test), improved support for full-screen anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. Even if we compare the GeForce FX 5600 and 5700 in terms of frequencies, the new video card has a significant advantage: the chip frequency has increased from 325 to 425 MHz, faster memory with a frequency of 275 (550) MHz is used. In terms of frequencies, the FX 5700 was no longer inferior to its main competitor, the Radeon 9600, with the exception of its Pro and XT modifications.

The NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 graphics core was not anything revolutionary and does not bring any innovations to the overall picture of the GeForce FX 5600, but is only an overclocked version of the latter. In general, the performance of the GeForce FX 5700 could already be considered satisfactory for most of the games popular at that time.
