AVADirect Starts Selling NVIDIA GTX 680 Graphics Processing Unit
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIAGeForce GTX 680
Today AVADirect, a leading custom computer manufacturer, announced that they are now selling the new NVIDIA GTX 680 graphic processing unit. The GTX 680 is based off of the previous 580 graphics processing unit that NVIDIA has been re-inventing for the past year. They produced ground-breaking performance benchmarks, and reached a whole new level of capabilities that were not tapped by the graphics community, until now. The GTX 680 promises to reach new heights and create a serious impact in gaming and 3D rendering performance.
NVIDIA GPU Boost Technology is similar to the Turbo Boost function seen in Intel Sandy Bridge processors. The graphics processing unit will increase the clock speed ba...

Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 official: 28nm Kepler GPU doesn't disappoint
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIAGeForce GTX 680
Nvidia's long-awaited move to 28nm technology is finally upon us today with the launch of the GeForce GTX 680. Billed as the most efficient GPU ever put together, the GTX 680 has a very reasonable power envelope of just 195W, breaking with the tradition of every new high-end graphics card requiring more power than the previous generation. That power figure is important for another reason: Nvidia no longer has a static clock speed for its graphics card.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 shows up for $579.99, then disappears
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIAGeForce GTX 680
While Nvidia's GeForce GTX 680 Kepler graphics card still hasn't gotten an official announcement from the company, we're seeing a flurry of price speculation in anticipation of the card's release. Computer chain NCIX has been spotted posting product pages for the card (both MSI and EVGA varieties), listing it at $579.99 and letting customers add it to their wish lists, though the pages have since been taken down. In addition to the price, the pages also indicated that the MSI card will be running at 1056Mhz and include 2GB of GDDR5 video memory clocked at 6GHz. While the EVGA version's listing didn't include graphics processor or video RAM clock speeds, the SuperClocked branding indicates th...

NVIDIA Introducing a New Anti-Aliasing Algorithm with Kepler?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIA
Reliable sources indicate that NVIDIA could introduce a new anti-aliasing (AA) algorithm with its Kepler family of GPUs. There are already plenty of AA algorithms which have been introduced with recent generations of GPUs, including FXAA, which have enabled higher levels of image quality, while not being as taxing as MSAA. This leaves only one area in which a new AA algorithm can take shape: to raise the image quality bar higher, while lowering performance penalty.

Acer unveils M3 ultrabook with Nvidia Kepler graphics, available this month
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksGraphic CardsAcernVIDIA
Acer has officially taken the wraps off its newest ultrabook, the Aspire Timeline Ultra M3, a 20mm thick, 15.6 inch system that happens to be the first of its class to use a dedicated GeForce graphics chip. It's not just any dedicated graphics chip either, but rather Nvidia's long-awaited 28nm Kepler GPU.
The machine is powered by a Sandy Bridge Core i5 or i7 processor with integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics and a GeForce GT 640M to take care of the more demanding graphics duties. It features Nvidia's Optimus technology for automatic switching between the two GPUs, helping the Ultra M3 achieve up to eight hours of battery life. Stretching the definition of Ultrabook, Acer has even incuded an ...

Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 specs and images leak
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIAGeForce GTX 680
Images and specifications of Nvidia's upcoming GeForce GTX 680 Kepler graphics card have cropped up early on a number of Chinese sites. The 680 will be Nvidia's first card built using a 28nm process and the company's answer to AMD's Radeon HD 7970. According to a leaked slide, the GPU will be clocked at 1,006MHz but will be able to temporarily increase its speed to 1,058MHz when necessary, which we assume will work in a similar way to Intel's Turbo Boost technology. The number of CUDA cores has been upped to 1,536 — a significant increase over previous generations — and 2GB of 256-bit GDDR5 RAM will be included.

AMD is planning to unveil its Radeon HD 7950 graphics card by the end of January, while NVIDIA is anticipated to introduce its 28nm Kepler GPU in April, at the latest. The sources noted that Nvidia wishes to make sure that the power consumption and the manufacturing process of the graphics chip all reach perfection before entering the 28nm generation. Since Nvidia is set to release its 28nm graphics card around the same time as Intel's upcoming 22nm Ivy Bridge processor, the sources believe Kepler series GPUs may have a chance to catch up with the demand for Intel's new CPUs.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIA
NVIDIA's next high-performance GPU that will attempt to restore NVIDIA's performance leadership in the consumer graphics segment, under the GeForce Kepler family, is slated for a March-April launch, according to a VR-Zone report. At CES 2012, NVIDIA focused on its Tegra product line, and demonstrated its applications in smartphones, tablets, and even automotives, but chose to avoid talking about its GeForce family. According to the report, NVIDIA wants to avoid doing a paper-launch like AMD, which launched its Radeon HD 7970 on December 22, 2011, but its market availability was non-existent till after two weeks, on January 9, 2012.

Chinese tackling human genome with NVIDIA GPUs
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIA
Analyzing data of the human genome is no small task. However, with the help of graphic chips, what once took genome sequencing centers days to complete, can be done in six hours. To accomplish this, BGI, a lab headquartered in Shenzhen, China, have given their servers a facelift with Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) built by Nvidia. That’s right, the same hardware that outputs images onto personal computers around the world, could account for major advances in the medical field.

NVIDIA announces special edition GTX 560 Ti with 448 CUDA cores, available now for $289
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIAGeForce GTX 560 Ti
Now that we're officially in the throes of holiday shopping season, NVIDIA's rolling out a promotion of its own, though sadly it doesn't involve any steep discounts. The outfit just announced a special edition GPU: the GTX 560 Ti with 448 CUDA cores, running at 1.46GHz, a 732MHz graphics clock and 1.25GB of GDDR5 memory charging ahead at an effective rate of 3.8GHz. Other features include support for three-way SLI, DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI. Those specs place it snugly between the current GTX 560 Ti with 384 CUDA cores, and the higher-end GTX 570, which packs 480. If this seems like a puzzling move, it is indeed the first time NVIDIA's bothered with a limited holiday edition card, though in ...
