Software Features

• The FX 5700 featured support for DirectX 9.0, CineFX 2.0 and Intellisample Technology.
  
  

Hardware Features

• The FX 5700 was less powerful than the 5800, 5900 and 5950 models primarily due to its lower pixels rendered per clock--four instead of eight with the 5800, 5900 and 5950--and its memory interface of 128-bits instead of the 256-bits with the 5800, 5900 and 5950. Other features were identical with more powerful models. Both had a maximum memory capacity of 256MB and were compatible with 8x AGP architecture.
  
  

Considerations

• As with all graphics cards, the FX 5700 is a standard of features outlined by Nvidia. Other manufacturing companies produce the graphics cards, so some features, such as clock speed and the amount of memory may vary from one brand's FX 5700 graphics card to the next. All 5700s have 128-bit memory architecture, are compatible with 8x AGP and render 4 pixels per clock cycle.
