NVIDIA Introduces GeForce GTX 200M and GTS 100M GPUs

NVIDIA introduced a number of new mobile GPUs– the GeForce GTX 280M, GTX 260M, and GTS 160M. The new GeForce GTX 280M, GTX 260M, and GTS 160M will be NVIDIA’s highest performing notebook GPUs to date and will offer up to 50% more performance than the previous generation in addition to support for both PhysX and CUDA technologies.

The new GeForce GTX and GTS series of notebook GPUs utilize a refined 55nm variant of NVIDIA’s G92 graphics core optimized for lower power consumption. According to the information provided by NVIDIA, the GPU provides up to 80% higher perf/mm2 than the previous gen, in addition to higher core, shader, and memory clock frequencies, and in the case of the GTX 280M a full complement of 128 shader processors. The GTX 260M and GTS 160M are outfitted with fewer active shader cores.

The GTX 280M features a full 128 shaders cores. The GTX 260M, however, features 112 and the GTS 160M 64. All of them feature 256-bit memory interfaces, however, and support for frame buffers up to 1GB. Check the table.
