Nvidia Brings SLI Technology To Intel Core 2 Duo Platforms
NVIDIA announced today that it is showcasing a wide variety of its Intel Core 2 Duo processor-compatible products at this years Computex tradeshow being held this week in Taipei, Taiwan.
Computex attendees can check out the amazing high-definition gaming systems located in the NVIDIA booth (Exhibition Hall 1, #b810) on the show floorall featuring the Companys GeForce 7-series graphics processing units (GPUs) running on NVIDIA nForce 500-series media and communications processors (MCPs)and powered by Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Core 2 Extreme CPUs. NVIDIA products on display include:
The new GeForce 7950 GX2 graphics solution, incorporating the power of two GeForce7 GPUs on a single PCI-Express x16 graphics card for the ultimate in single-card graphics performance
NVIDIA Quad SLI technology, featuring the power of two GeForce 7950 GX2 graphics cards running in NVIDIA SLI configuration
The NVIDIA nForce 500 series of MCPs for Intel platforms, including NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI, NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI and NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultraall designed for Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Core 2 Extreme CPUs
The gaming community is very important to us, said Gerald Holzhammer, Vice President Digital Home Group General Manager, Consumer PC Platform Group at Intel. Our Intel Core 2 Duo processor will help establish a new level of performance for gamers and we are excited that our customers will be able to obtain it on NVIDIA SLI platforms.
Forming the ultimate foundation for the fastest and most feature-rich NVIDIA nForce-based enthusiast motherboards, the NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP was built and designed from the ground up for enthusiasts by enthusiasts and can utilize the power of up to one, two, or even four NVIDIA GeForce GPUs for extreme high-definition gaming. Architected for maximum motherboard performance, the NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP provides enthusiasts with an unprecedented level of features designed specifically for gaming, including NVIDIA FirstPacket technology for optimized network gaming, and support for SLI-Ready memory, the industrys first core-logic solution to take advantage of the new Enhanced Performance Profiles (EPP) memory specification, unlocking even higher levels of memory performance. The NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP for Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Core 2 Extreme CPUs is the industrys only consumer core-logic solution to support dual RAID 5 on a single controller and dual x16 electrical PCI Express slots.
We are excited about Intel Core 2 Extreme and Duo processors, said Drew Henry, general manager of MCP business at NVIDIA. Satisfying our Intel customers is a focus for NVIDIA, and we are excited that we are able to bring the power of our NVIDIA nForce, NVIDIA GeForce and NVIDIA SLI technologies to them with a wide variety of product offerings covering all relevant market segments.
NVIDIA nForce 500-based motherboards for Intel Core 2 Duo platforms and NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2 GPUs will be available in Dells new high-end XPS 700 gaming desktop and also from the worlds leading motherboard manufacturers, add-in card companies, and major system builders including ASUSTeK, BFG, Biostar, DFI, ECS, EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, and XFX.
