Nvidia's GeForce 285.79 Beta Drivers Beef Up Skyrim, Battlefield 3 And More
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIA
Pardon us if we keep talking games, but we’re just as caught up in Skyrim fever as the rest of the world. While we’re talking Tamriel, is your PC primed and ready for fighting dragons in the Nordic mountains? Yesterday, Nvidia released a new Geforce 285.79 beta driver that included, amongst other things, improved SLI and 3D Vision support for – you guessed it – Skyrim (which now garners an “Excellent” 3D Vision rating by Nvidia, by the way).
Nvidia also recommends that Battlefield 3 players download the new drivers, thanks to a trio of improvements specific to that title. Check out the full list of improvements below, and if they pique your interest, head on over to Nvidia’s beta drivers pag...

Nvidia Preps GF110-based GeForce GTX 560 Ti Upgrade
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIAGeForce GTX 560 Ti
This new Ti will, if VR-Zone is right, be based on the GF110 chip, which makes it a close relative to the 570 and 580 models. It will also mean a drop of the current GF114.
The publication reports that the new 560 Ti will essentially be a 570 with 14 (and one disabled) streaming multiprocessor with a total of 448 cores, up from the current 384. It is more than likely that the clock speed will be below that of the 570. Expect to see the 320-bit memory interface with 56 TMUs and 40 ROPs.
The likely performance gain is pure speculation at this time, but I will make an educated guess that the card will be consuming more power than the 170 W of the current 560 Ti and move closer to the 219 W of t...

Nvidia releases WHQL driver update for Battlefield 3
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIA
Nvidia has released a new set of WHQL-certified drivers for its graphics cards just in time for tomorrow's launch of Battlefield 3 on the PC. The GeForce 285.58 for Windows XP and 285.62 for Windows 7/Vista users promise to increase Battlefield 3 performance on a single GTX 560 by "up to 11%" since the release of the GeForce 285.38 beta drivers.
Nvidia also mentions several compatibility enhancements, as well as a new and improved SLI profile and a 3D Vision profile.
Batman: Arkham City and Rage are also getting compatibility and performance improvements, along a bunch of older titles including Metro 2033, STALKER: Call of Pripyat, Civilization V, StarCraft II, Crysis 2, and others. As far a...

Nvidia's GeForce 285 Beta Drivers Hint at New Mobile GPUs
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIA
It looks like Nvidia is gearing up to launch a pair of 600 Series mobile graphics chips. We know this because somebody went and dissected Nvidia's recently released GeForce 283.38 drivers and found a couple of lines of code referencing the unreleased parts, which is a good indicator that they'll be showing up soon.
VR-Zone dug up the following lines of code from the new drivers:
NVIDIA_DEV.1058.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce 610M"
NVIDIA_DEV.0DE9.01 = "NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M"
Not much is known about these upcoming parts, though VR-Zone surmises it's entirely possible the GT 630M could be the shipping name for Nvidia's GK107, a part that features a 128-bit memory interface and supports DDR3 and GDDR5 m...

Nvidia promises to ship next-gen Kepler GPU this year (not!)
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIA
Update (8/5): Nvidia has clarified a previous statement regarding availability of its next-gen GPU codenamed Kepler. In a nutshell, Nvidia won't be shipping any final products using the new silicon this year. "Although we will have early silicon this year, Kepler-based products are actually scheduled to go into production in 2012. We wanted to clarify this so people wouldn’t expect product to be available this year," said Ken Brown, a spokesman for Nvidia. Both AMD's and Nvidia's upcoming GPUs are slated to use a new 28nm process technology, with the likely possibility of brand new Radeon graphics cards making it into the market before the end of the year.

NVIDIA announces GeForce GTX 580M and 570M, availability in the Alienware M18x and MSI GT780R

We know you're going to be shocked -- shocked! -- to hear this, but NVIDIA's gone and refreshed its high-end line of GeForce GTX cards. The GTX 580M takes the place of the GTX 485M, and NVIDIA's bragging that it's the "fastest notebook GPU ever," capable, we're told, of besting the Radeon HD 6970M's tesselation performance by a factor of six.

NVIDIA Makes SLI Support on AMD Platform Official with New BETA GeForce Driver
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIAAMD
NVIDIA today released its latest version of the GeForce software suite, version 275.50 BETA. With this release, NVIDIA enables SLI support on AMD socket AM3+ platform. The driver enables SLI multi-GPU technology certified AMD 990FX, AMD 990X, and AMD 970 motherboards. Keep in mind, not every AMD 9-series chipset-based motherboard will run SLI, only certified ones, just like not every Intel 5-series and 6-series chipset based motherboard features SLI. Look for the SLI logo when buying the motherboard.
