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.

[singlepic id=14 w=300 h=290 float=center]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.

We expect NVIDIA to announce some design wins for all of these new mobile GPUs in the not too distant future.

9800GX2 is out!

TFTB.net — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 05:53:41 +0000

The mighty demon is out! Yes Nvidia’s 9800GX2 is out in the market. It is a dual-GPU card similar to the “now” best ATI/AMD 3870X2. Nvidia’s second of this tpye, the 9800GX2 is not a successor of 7950GX2 but a looks really good. As already discussed about Nvidia’s 9 series Clock speed, this GPU seems to be working way better than 8800 Ultra.

Some great features worth mentioning.

Quantum Engine: Embedded Physics features
DirectX 10 support
SLI Support
HDCP Capable
Dual-Link DVI
HDMI Capable with the use of HDMI Certified components
HDMI Certified

All new features make this the best but there are some pros and cons. Pros . you already know them . Some cons like DirectX 10.1 and Shader 4.1 support unknown. Connecting the GPU isn’t easy as it was to be. Rest all assured the GPU seems good.

Look its Nvidia 9 series

Nvidia released some pictures of the new 9 series GPU which the whole world is waiting for.The 9 series GPUs which are smaller in design, consumer less energy.The resolution of the new GPUs can reach upto 2560 x 1600 which allows HD gaming, that mean the next gen gaming.

Clock Speed Of Nvidia Geforce 9800GX2 revealed

TFTB.net — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:35:00 +0000

Nvidia has finally revealed some details of the new 9 series Graphic cards, Nvidia Geforce 9800GX2 codenamed D9E.It will be clocked 600MHz as the core processor and 1.5GHz for shader graphics.This means the performance of this new Graphic card would be much better than 2×8800 GT in SLI.

It is expected to come by first week of March.Source

UPDATE

Nvidia has bashed off all the news and has informed everyone the delayed launch date of 9800 GX2 which is now speculated to be 18th March. This could be due to some drivers issues involving Direct X 10.Its also been reported that the card is scoring pretty low to the stunning ATI Radeon HD3870 X2.

Waiting eagerly for the official and final launch date.Seems ATI still the king of GPUs.
