Nvidia has announced that it will be now be selling the fastest graphics processing unit available to the laptop and netbook market. The GTX 580m will be the best they have to offer, supporting top end, high resolution and high performance gaming equivalent in desktop terms to an overclocked GTX 560Ti.
The first two laptops to offer this fantastic new GPU will be two Alienware laptops, the M18x and the M17x. The M18x will also offer SLI GTX 580m’s for superior gaming performance. Nvidia claims up to six times the tesselation performance of any other notebook GPU on the market and 20% better performance per watt than previous generation Nvidia notebook GPU’s.
Nvidia also launched the GTX 570m alongside this card (which is roughly equivalent to a GTX 560 non-Ti) but this has been overshadowed by the launch of the GTX 580m. Lets take a quick look at the specifications of both of these new GPU’s:
