Like many of today's powerful new graphics cards, the Verto requires an external power source. As a thoughtful bonus, PNY also includes an S-Video cable. The card also supports simultaneous dual displays and comes with a DVI-to-VGA converter to meet the needs of users who have two analog displays. The Verto has enough ports on its backplane to satisfy the needs of nearly any user: VGA, DVI, and S-Video out. There are a number of other architectural differences within the FX GPU family that influence performance and price. As a point of comparison, the high-end GeForce FX 5900 Ultra has a core speed of 450MHz and includes 256MB of DDR SDRAM running at 425MHz. The 5200 Ultra GPU is positioned toward the lower end of the GeForce FX family line, with a core speed of 325MHz and 128MB of DDR SDRAM running at 325MHz. As its name implies, the Verto GeForce FX 5200 Ultra is driven by an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra GPU (graphics processing unit). A complete set of cables and a full version of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell complete the package. Despite the target-market confusion, the Verto delivers solid performance to those not concerned with playing their games at high resolutions or with advanced feature sets enabled. With so many iterations of the GeForce FX graphics engine hitting the market, the PNY Verto GeForce FX 5200 Ultra's price tag falls somewhere above value but below the mainstream segments of the market. When a relatively low-end graphics card comes close to matching the speed of the previous generation's performance leader, you know that the hardware engineers got something right.
