NVidia announces new mobile GPU chips

NVidia has just announced a hardware rev for it’s Mobile GPU’s.  The new chips, the GeForce GTX 280M and 260M and the GeForce GTS 160M and 150M,  will support CUDA, Graphics  Plus, and NVidia PhysX on laptops/notebooks.

GeForce GTX 200M and GeForce GTS 100M Series GPUs make playing the latest HD games on a portable platform a reality by delivering blistering frame rates that are up to 50% faster than the previous generation products they are replacing, all without increasing overall power consumption. Using NVIDIA® SLI® technology, which enables close to double the graphics performance over a single GPU, two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M GPUs can be paired to offer the fastest notebook graphics solution available today. In order to enable a quiet state and to increase battery life, NVIDIA HybridPower™ technology can dynamically power down the powerful discreet GPU and transfer graphics operation to the integrated GPU for applications that do not require the high level of graphics horsepower.
