For the longest time, users who want their notebook to be equipped with NVIDIA GeForce 500M series GPU are stuck with entry-level and mid-range offerings as the series do not offer a gaming-level GPU. That is until just few days ago when the company announced the arrival of GTX 560M into the family.
According to the specifications, the new GTX 560M offers similar level of performance as per its predecessor the GTX 460M – 192 CUDA cores, 1250 MHz memory clock - with the exception of higher processor clock of 1550 MHz which in hand gives the GTX 560M a higher texture fill rate at 24.8 billion/second. Not to forget, the usual NVIDIA technologies such as PhysX, Optimus and 3D Vision are also supported on the new GTX460M GPU.
To describe the power that the new GTX 560M got to offer, Rene Haas - NVIDIA’s General Manager of Notebook Products – claimed that gamers are able to obtain 50 frame per second in the upcoming Duke Nukem Forever as well as five hours of battery life in Microsoft Office through the use of NVIDIA Optimus power saving technology. The company also stated that the Optimus-enabled GTX 560M-powered laptops will be available from Alienware and Toshiba very soon while ASUS, Clevo, MSI and other manufacturers will be revealing their GTX 560M-powered offerings very soon as well.
At the same time, NVIDIA has also announced another addition to its GeForce 500M family in the form of entry-level GT 520MX GPU which offers slightly higher processor clock speed compared to the previously released GT 520M. For further information, head on to www.nvidia.com.
