NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580M GPU in Alienware M18x holds record-breaking Gaming Performance
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580M was launched yesterday by NVIDIA and it claims to be the world’s fastest graphics processing unit or GPU for notebook. The GeForce GTX 580M will be available in Alienware M18x and Alienware M17x notebooks.
According to Rene Haas, the general manager of notebook products at NVIDIA, GeForece GTX 580M has the best game support, best gaming features and the best gaming performance avaialable anywhere. It is the essence of the GeForce GTX 580M. The Geforce GTX 580M is said to outperform Radeon HD 6970M’s tesselation performance six times.
NVIDIA has released GeForce GTX 580M and Geforce GTX 570M in replacement for GTX 485M and GTX 470M. The GeForce GTX 570M promises a 20% increase in speed compared to GTX 470M. The GTX 570M will be available in MSI GT780R.
