A few weeks after AMD launched their DX11, 40nm HD 58xx series, Nvidia have launched their first retail 40nm parts with DX10.1 - the Geforce G 210 and GT 220.

The G 210 costs $45 and the GT 220 $80. According to the review, the GT 220 performs between a 9500GT and an HD4670.
"There’s really no way to sugar-coat this, so we won’t: the performance of the GT 220 is abysmal. Or rather, the pricing is. The GT 220 is a value card, and that’s something we can appreciate. But for a value card to be a good value, it needs to be at the right price. NVIDIA wants to see these cards sell for $69-$79, with the best cards (those with GDDR3) selling at that $79 price point. However depending on your taste for rebates, we can get a Radeon HD 4670 for between $59 and $69, or on the NVIDIA side a 9600GT for between $69 and $85."
Nvidia's other 40nm parts will come late this year or early next year.
