NVIDIA Debuts World's Fastest Notebook GPU: GeForce GTX 480M
NVIDIA seems to toss out the "world's fastest" claim pretty frequently, but based on our experience, they're usually spot-on. The company is always striving to crank out the next greatest GPU, and this time it's the notebook owners that are getting the attention. Good thing too, because we thought we would have to shoe-horn an SLI GPU setup from our desktop into our next Clevo if something didn't give soon…
All kidding aside, NVIDIA is today introducing the new GeForce GTX 480M for notebooks, which the company proudly calls the "world's fastest notebook GPU." It's "DirectX 11 done right for notebooks," with this card being called a tessellation monster and having a dedicated Tessellation engine for up to 5x more performance than any other GPU. NVIDIA is also bringing over nearly three times more NVIDIA CUDA cores over previous generation notebook GPUs, which means users get much quicker video transcoding, upscaling from standard definition to high definition and real-time movie clean-up with the click of a button.
And finally, the GPU also adds 3D Vision support, compatibility with PhysX and support for Verde notebook drivers. Oh, and speaking of Clevo, that will be the first company to ship a notebook with this beast inside. We can hardly wait.
