Nvidia announced that it is ending driver support for 32-bit OSes effective this month. That means no more Game Ready driver updates or other performance enhancing driver releases, and also no bug fixes. The company will, however, release security updates as needed, through January 2019. The same applies to Nvidia’s GeForce Experience software—it’s dropping 32-bit […]
NVIDIA’s second-generation Fermi graphics has now entered into the budget class with the launch of the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. The card costs just $150 and drops below the $250 of the GTX 560 Ti by cutting back on its parallelism. The 550 Ti uses 192 processing cores versus the higher-end chipset’s 384, a reduced […]
NVIDIA today brought its second-generation Fermi hardware into the true mid-range while resurrecting the Ti badge not used since the GeForce 3 and 4 days. The GeForce GTX 560 Ti directly replaces the GTX 460 and is about a third faster, owing both to 384 visual effects cores (up from 332) as well as a […]
NVIDIA’s next generation Fermi based graphics chipset, the GeForce GTX 580, will be shipping in late November. The new design is shoould be about 20 percent faster than a GTX 480. It would be followed by 2011 releases of mainstream cards using the GF112, GF114 and GF119 architectures, which would mostly pare back the GF110 […]
NVIDIA today released its current-generation Fermi graphics to less expensive workstation cards through two models, the Quadro 2000 and Quadro 600. The two have been pared back to 192 cores and 96 cores respectively but promise more performance than past models they replace. The Quadro 2000 is said to be about 50 percent faster in […]
NVIDIA today at its technology conference provided a tiny glimpse at its future graphics architecture, Kepler. The design will replace the Fermi core of today’s GeForce 400 series and should calculate about five gigaflops of per watt, or more than three times the 1.5 gigaflops of Fermi hardware. Both the redesign as well as a […]
PNY has announced that its key channel partners are now integrating the next generation of NVIDIA Quadro by PNY Technologies graphics solutions, based on the NVIDIA Fermi architecture, into their high performance professional workstation systems. The new line-up of NVIDIA Quadro by PNY professional graphics boards includes: NVIDIA Quadro 6000 by PNY- Delivering an […]
