NVIDIA expands line of systems for three new GeForce GPU

The manufacturer announced today the introduction of three new sales graphics processor with GeForce 9, providing support for NVIDIA PhysX and calculations in parallel CUDA general-purpose computers in the middle class. The new GeForce 9800 graphics processors GTX, 9800 GT and 9500 GT offer a unique graphic quality, efficiency and compatibility with applications, as well as support for NVIDIA SLI, a leading industry solution which allows the use of multiple processors, graphics and gaming platforms for enthusiasts, available in different ranges price.

“The introduction of new graphics processor 9800 GTX, 9800 GT and 9500 GT graphics-processing capacity increases in computer class,” said Ujesh Desai, head of the graphics processor for desktop computers in a company NVIDIA “NVIDIA graphics processing units provide the greatest potential at its price at any price category, and thanks to use CUDA, PhysX and stereoscopic 3D technology, customers can now use a unique, innovative capabilities, which offers only NVIDIA. ”

As programs on a PC in an ever greater use of graphics, many everyday tasks may use the graphics processing power offered by graphics processors GeFoce – apply to tasks such as editing photos, support for new operating systems such as Windows Vista or encoding and video playback high – definition by such applications as Badaboom company Elemental Technologies, which the Prime Minister is planned for August this year. In addition, the architecture of parallel calculations general-purpose graphics processor with GeForce 9 promotes their use in the growing number of programs that are not written with a view to the CPU, but a GPU, which does not serve the processing of images. For example, customers can now use graphics processors with GeForce 9 to run applications such as Folding @ home and join in the activities of the teams to assist in the development of drugs for such diseases as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease.

NVIDIA GPUs are the only ones to support PhysX technology, the most common platform for the creation of physics in games, which has already found application in more than 140 dynamic games for various platforms and is used by more than 25 000 software developers from around the world. With PhysX, the maker of games can apply effects such as rigid body physics, collision detection and simulation falujących the surface of clothes, which are substantially changing the way the game is in the game and how to grow their story, then speed up these effects in hardware, using power GeForce graphics processor.

Graphics cards equipped with a new graphics processors with GeForce 9 are already available in leading manufacturers offer cards in the world, such as Asus, BFG, Colorful, Emtek, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision, Leadtek, MSI, Palit, PC Partner / Zotac, PNY, Point of View, Avoids, Unitek and XFX.
