NVIDIA Realesed The World’s Fastest Notebook GPU – GeForce GTX 480M
Today NVIDIA put up a blog post that introduced the GeForce GTX 480M GPU, the worlds fastest notebook GPU. This is a big deal as it is the companies first DirectX 11 graphics processing unit (GPU) for laptops! The GTX 480M has 352 CUDA cores (Nvidias name for its stream processors) and is capable of 897 gigaflops (a gigaflop is one billion floating point operations per second). By comparison, the current top-of-the-line GeForce GTS 380M, based on the older GPU design, has 96 CUDA cores and is capable of 413 gigaflops. Rival AMD released its first DX11 mobile GPUs at the Consumer Electronics Show in January.
Today we introduced the new GeForce GTX 480M GPU for Notebooks and with it were achieving some very impressive milestones. First, this is DirectX 11 done right for notebooks. Tessellation is the most important new feature for the DirectX 11 API, and the GeForce GTX 480M is a true tessellation monster for the notebook platform. It offers a dedicated Tessellation engine for up to 5x more performance than any other GPU. Second, with the power of the GeForce GTX 480M GPUs, notebook manufacturers can set new records for notebook performance. Put simply: If a notebook maker wants to build the fastest possible system on the planet, they will start with GeForce GTX 480M as its foundation.
