We’ve already talked about Nvidia’s upcoming mid-range card, the GTX 560. While the king pin GTX 580 is the card that makes us all drool with its copious amounts of power, the 560 is the one that will end up in a greater number gamers’ PCs. Not to mention, the 560′s precursor (GTX 460) is an amazingly versatile card as it overclocks well and scales great in SLI. And now that we have the leaked image above giving us an early look at the upcoming...
Nvidia isn’t a stranger to dual-GPU cards. Some of the more recent ones include the GTX 295 and 9800 GX2 which in their own right, were quite powerful as well as thirsty for power. With the GF100 release, it looked like dual-GPU solutions from Nvidia weren’t going to be possible due to the architectures extreme heat outputs and power consumption being the limiting factors. However, the newer GF104 and GF110 architecture refreshes have ratcheted down power...
A few days back, we shared the good news of the Nvidia Quadro 4000 workstation graphics card coming to Mac desktops. As it stands now, that release was even better than originally thought. An eagle-eyed reader of xlr8yourmac found some rather tantalizing information buried deep within the Quadro 4000′s drivers. Specifically, the reader highlighted above used an ATY_Init injector developed by Netkas.org to force his Mac’s EFI to recognize his freshly installed...
No, my GTX 580 hasn’t quite arrived yet. That little venture of joy starts tonight. But for those of you who have received your GTX 580′s and prepared to benchmark the living joules out of them, you’ve no doubt found out about Nvidia’s new power-limiting feature of the card. Included within the new drivers are special conditions for certain high-stress applications and services. When certain applications such as popular benchmarking tool, Furmark,...
Video/photo editing professionals using Mac hardware have a new toy to lust for. Nvidia officially launched their first Fermi-powered card for Macs, the Quadro 4000. Similar to the card’s Windows origins, the Quadro line of graphics cards are designed and built for general-purpose computing (read: not gaming). The big talking points of the Quadro 4000 include increased Open-CL support, Nvidia’s own CUDA coding technology, and video processing built into Adobe...
