ARM-based Microsoft Surface tablet will have a Tegra processor, NVIDIA confirms
Like UnlikeFiled in: MicrosoftnVIDIA
While we learned quite a lot about the upcoming Microsoft Surface tablets, there were still plenty of questions that remained unanswered after the official announcement was over. One of them was what processor the Windows RT model will come with. All that was mentioned was that an ARM chip of some kind will tick under the tablet's hood.
However, NVIDIA was quick to acknowledge that the Windows RT Microsoft Surface tablet will sport a Tegra processor. Exactly which processor will be used is still unclear, but the quad-core Tegra 3 is the first that comes to mind. One possibility is that the chip will be implemented using the NVIDIA KAI platform, which promises fluid performance at a competiti...

NVIDIA details top-tier GeForce GTX 680M Kepler GPU for Ultrabooks, other laptops
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIAGeForce GTX 680
When NVIDIA took the wraps off its family of 28nm Kepler GPUs, it promised some mobile chips designed for Ultrabooks were soon to follow. Two and a half months later, we haven't seen that many laptops running the 600M series, save for the Acer Aspire M5, which isn't even on sale yet. Now, though, we're about to see a lot more: in advance of Computex, a computer-centric trade show about to be overrun by Ultrabooks, NVIDIA is spilling details on the GeForce GTX 680M. As the top-tier offering in the mobile Kepler lineup, it packs a 720MHz engine clock, 1,344 CUDA cores and a 256-bit memory bus powering up to 4GB of GDDR5 RAM. As a refresher, all of Kepler's GPUs make use of a new GPU Boost feat...

Nvidia's new graphics drivers are certified for Windows 8
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftnVIDIAWindows 8
If you had any reason to suspect that Nvidia wouldn't have fully-functional graphics drivers in time for Windows 8, you can probably dismiss them now: the company's new R302 drivers have been WHQL-certified by Microsoft specifically for the new operating system. That's the word from Nvidia's official blog, which explains that the R302 drivers are specifically for Windows 8, as earlier versions of the operating system will stick with R300 drivers. The new branch includes support for all the new WDDM 1.2 features (including things like stereoscopic 3D optimizations and flicker-free screen rotation), and Nvidia says it will support Nvidia 3D Vision for 3D games right away. Sounds like just the ...

Tegra 3 on track to be NVIDIA's most valuable business
Like UnlikeFiled in: nVIDIA
Chip maker NVIDIA is perhaps best known for its stand-alone graphics cards, which they sell to professional graphic artists and hard-core gamers alike. These and other PC components, including lower-cost laptop and desktop GPUs, and motherboard chipsets have long been the mainstay of NVIDIA’s revenues. Now an analysis by Forbes shows this changing quickly, and demonstrates the importance of the mobile sector to the silicon fabricators of the world.

GeForce GTX 660 Photo Surfaces
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsMSInVIDIA
Well, hey now. The folks at vr-zone got their hands on a picture of MSI's GeForce GTX 660. This fifth GK104 based part might be introduced at next week's Computex:
While the image of the board is obviously photoshopped (the lower part of the bracket is not present, the heatsink has a six-pin connector slapped on top), we checked with our sources and the product appears to be legit. The highlighted single six-pin connector on the heatsink was positioned there to highlight that the board cannot pull more than 150 Watts, which the author of the leaked image made sure off.

GeForce GTX 690 passes P20000 in 3DMark 11

The GeForce GTX 690 might be expensive, but it certainly is sexy. In Taiwan there is this pro-overclocker called TIN and he applied some tender love adn care (TLC) to the card, with the result of setting a new 3DMark 11 record - P20962 points using a single GeForce GTX 690 graphics card (well okay 2 GPUs).

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 launches soon ?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsnVIDIA
More graphics card 'gossip' today. It seems that the GeForce GTX 660 is scheduled to arrive this summer. i've heard gossip about Computex already, but that seems a little too soon to be honest. SweClockers got some info claiming that the card would become available for 2500 Swedish kronors, which is around $350 (including high VAT). Earlier leaks said that it will cost between $299 and $329.

"The skiing industry would be a lot larger if you could just go do it," explains Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang. There isn't a ski pole in sight: it's a metaphor for how he wants to expand the reach of video games to entirely new audiences. Two weeks ago, at the company's GPU Technology Conference, Huang introduced a new technology on stage: a GPU called GeForce Grid, specifically designed to stream video games to any smartphone, tablet, PC, or app-savvy TV. Today, however, at the company's annual investor meeting, Huang has revealed that his company is looking to make graphically potent games more portable and convenient for everyone, not just existing players.

NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang previously mentioned that more Tegra 3-powered tablets would be coming to the market this summer, starting at the low price of $199.

NVIDIA and partner acquire 500 wireless patents

NVIDIA has partnered with Intellectual Ventures in order to acquire roughly 500 patents owned by IPWireless. All the patents revolve around wireless technologies, including 3G, LTE, and LTE-Advanced. The acquisition closed on April 30th, but the terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. IPWireless will retain access to the patents royalty-free, with the portfolio split between NVIDIA and Intellectual Ventures.
NVIDIA is naturally interested in the patents now that the company is taking the mobile business seriously, hoping to incorporate an SoC with a compatible LTE modem next year. The deal could be related to that effort, but NVIDIA remained vague in the press release, saying: “These patents, a...
