The 7300 GS is an all-new chip built on a 90nm fabrication process. It's a budget part, and thus, cards based on it will retail for between about $99 and $149, depending on the configuration. These cards should offer roughly twice the performance of the GeForce 6200 TurboCache cards that they supplant, and like the 6200, the 7300 GS will use TurboCache technology to allocate system RAM for use as graphics memory.
