Nvidia's new graphics drivers are certified for Windows 8

Nvidia's new graphics drivers are certified for Windows 8

Posted on Jun 04, 2012 by MG1

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 ...

NVIDIA Kai: $199 Android tablets coming soon

Posted on May 24, 2012 by MG3

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. At the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting last week, vice president Rob Csonger revealed Kai, a plan to democratize its quad-core Tegra 3 system-on-a-chip. NVIDIA is looking to offer tablets that are more powerful than Amazon’s Kindle Fire, but that will be offered at the same low price point. “Our strategy on Android is simply to enable quad-core tablets running Android Ice Cream Sandwich to be developed and brought out to market at the $199 price point, and the way we do that is a platform we’ve developed called Kai,” he said. “S...

Nvidia's Tegra 3 Windows 8 reference tablet up close

Posted on Jan 11, 2012 by MG1

We're already pretty familiar with one of the tablets Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang demonstrated on the CES 2012 stage, but the other one appears to be brand-new: the Tegra 3 Windows 8 reference platform, a hefty touchscreen tablet. We're afraid we didn't get to touch, and Nvidia won't tell us what (other than a Tegra 3 SoC) is inside. According to reps, the internals are all up to Microsoft. See what it looks like in the gallery below.

NVIDIA embraces Ice Cream Sandwich with the Transformer Prime

Posted on Jan 11, 2012 by MG1

In a fully green-lit environment on the first full day of CES 2012, NVIDIA’s Jen-Hsng Huang outlined their 2012 focus, and all was quad-core. The event began with Huang speaking about how they’d be moving through Tablets, a secret additional feature of Tegra 3, and vehicle integration. As tablets are, as evidence shows, the quickest selling device category in mobile history, so too will NVIDIA continue to concentrate on the category for their hero devices.
For the tablets, Huang noted that a big moment in Android was the moment it was revealed that Gingerbread and Honeycomb were combined in Ice Cream Sandwich. All the devices now, he reminds us, are in one single platform. Content developers...
