Nvidia has shown us a low budget graphics, with interesting capabilities, despite its technical specs.

Nvidia GeForce 310 is a direct replacement for the early 210 chip. The new arrived has only 16 stream processors, 64 bits bus memory, but can still fully accelerate 1080p video, and provide general-purpose computing tasks, both proprietary technologies like CUDA and PhysX or universal standards like DirectCompute and OpenCL. Rumors say that 300 series is based on a current architecture, rather than Fermi, which will add DirectX 11-level graphics.

The internal clock runs at 589 MHz, is based on 512 MB DDR2 memory, which runs at 500 MHz FSB. Although is a low budget product,  the NVidia 310 carries DisplayPort, DVI and VGA connectors and will work with HDMI through an adapter for either the DisplayPort or DVI links.  The manufacturer did not announced a market release for this hardware, and will be probably destined to pre-build computers rather than a stand-alone device, to be bought as a solution for a computer that needs basic HD playback.
