NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M is nothing new
As you can see below, GeForce GTX 880M is just a rebranded GTX 780M. Card still uses GK104 GPU, which is now used in 3rd generation straight as a mobile high-end model. The only difference is that GTX 880M will be available with 8GB memory, but of course there will also be 4GB models as well. There are sellers already offering a chip modification for GTX 780M owners. So if you feel like owning the first 800 Series GPU, this is the cheapest way to go.
The new feature: NVIDIA Battery Boost
NVIDIA introduces new technology called Battery Boost. Slides only tells us that it will allow up 2 times longer gaming. It also says that it’s completely automatic. How does this technology differ from NVIDIA Optimus? I’m not sure, but it’s a good thing that we can finally play longer than 30 minutes in our favorite games. In my personal notebook with Optimus and I had to disable this feature, because it was kind of annoying. Hopefully Battery Boost will provide much smoother experience.
NVIDIA GeForce 800M series are designed for gaming
NVIDIA announces six gaming notebooks with GeForce GTX 8x0M graphics card on board. Starting with with proper gaming machines MSI GT70, Dell Alienware 17, ASUS G750 and moving to thinner models like Razer Blade, Lenovo Y60 and gigabyte P34. Of course more compact notebooks will use slower GPUs. I guess everyone will find a suitable model for himself.
NVIDIA GeForce 800M performance
GeForce 800M series are mostly rebrands. I don’t have the specs of all cards, but so far everything I saw was just slightly overclocked 700M model. The charts show 15 to 60% performance increase over previous series. Of course there will be Maxwell based models like GTX 860M, which is based on the same Maxwell GPU as GTX 750 Ti.
