In the Desktop world, AMD has long lived with the lead exploiting DirectX11 in their ATI HD 5970 graphics monster. Nvidia had previously showcased that they are all set to take the lead over there.

Today, Nvidia announced new Mobile GPU GeforceGTX 480M – The Fastest Graphics on Laptops/Mobile.

the new graphics for mobile is a re-spin of its extravagantly overpowered Fermi desktop counter-parts. The chip, scheduled for release mid-next month, will bring whooping 352 CUDA cores and a 256-bit memory interface to up to 2GB of GDDR5 RAM.

Did you recently decided to make yourself a High-end Gaming Rig and ended-up in confusion of what to get. Whether to choose that new 1GHz AMD ATi Radeon HD or one of those of Nvidia CUDA/SLI powered GTX quad cores?

It was lonely for AMD ATI graphics at the top for about a year. With ATI Radeon 5870 HD, AMD was the manufacturer of most powerful DirectX11 graphics card in the world. A year after, Nvidia knocks them off with GTX 480 Unigine.

With GTX 480, NVIDIA is stressing that GTX 480 has a  superior tesselation benchmarked performance over the ATI HD 5870, but it was very levelled for most of the other tasks. Tesselation is all about the extra detail you can embed using .. Read Further »

So you thought you had switchable GPU graphics that automatically lower power usage by switching discrete graphics, when needed?

Well, not really. They have been around since years but they haven’t lived up to user expectations. Nvidia will change that with their new Optimus technology (hopefully).

We are not talking about PowerMizer which only changes the clock (and that too is absent in Windows 7). It’s rather about switching between integrated and discrete graphics. Switching between .. Read Further »

Intel has recently unveiled plans for it’s next generation graphics for Netbooks: PineTrail. Nvidia already has a strong contender: Nvidia Ion. So which one is better?

Intel claims that Nvidia Ion is overkill for Netbooks .. Read Further »

A week back we heard from the CEO Of Nvidia, Jen-Hsun Huang that he had been working closely on a tablet, and we knew it was coming.

Today surfaces the prototype Nvidia Tegra Tablet powered by Windows CE and a Resistive Touch. What comes good is the HD capability of this device. The 720p and 1080p playback on the device is smooth and power efficient. Since the device is just a prototype, its pointless to comment on the battery life.

As per Nvidia, the project is known as ICD Ultra and promises to play 10 hours of 1080p HD content, and 3 times the battery when listen to music (screen off); practically, give FullDay juice to the battery at any kind of .. Read Further »

Nvidia ain’t holding back in the Graphics race. Last week, AMD knocked Nvidia to the second place by introducing ATI Radeon HD 5970 – World’s Fastest Graphics Card. Nvidia didn’t show anything on the typical consumer side,  but rather for Supers (HPCs), they gave AMD a big hit.

At this year’s SC09 supercomputing trade show in Portland, Oregon, Nvidia unveils its plan for the next-gen Chip ‘Fermi’. Overall, the GPU co-processors aimed at personal supers and massive clusters were the stars of the show. This is something much more powerful than .. Read Further »

Cloud Computing started from the cloud based processing then expanded steps to storage and now comes the third contender: Graphics. Now, Nvidia will power cloud-based GPU rendering which can be deployed as server-farms. .. Read Further »

Did you recently decided to make yourself a High-end Gaming Rig and ended-up in confusion of what to get. Whether to choose that new 1GHz AMD ATi Radeon HD or one of those of Nvidia CUDA/SLI powered GTX quad cores?

Well, here is the solution- Get best of both worlds.

Lucid last year promised to develop a chipset that would .. Read Further »
