Nvidia Releases Entire Lineup of DX11 Mobile GPU
Nvidia Optimus now in all new mobile GPU parts.
Nvidia has overhauled its mobile offerings today with the introduction of the DirectX 11-capable GeForce 400M series of GPUs.
The new series of Nvidia GeForce 400M GPUs includes:
- For enthusiast users: GeForce GTX 470M and GTX 460M.

- For performance users: GeForce GT 445M, GT 435M, GT 425M, GT 420M and GT 415M.

The entire family supports Nvidia Optimus technology, which automatic switching on and off the GPU so that it runs only when needed.
The GeForce 400M series can also deliver stereoscopic 3D images for games, movies and photos when configured with Nvidia 3D Vision glasses and a 3D display.
"The GeForce 400M Series takes the award-winning Fermi architecture across a complete line-up of DirectX 11 GPUs for notebook," said Rene Haas, general manager of notebook GPUs at Nvidia. "Coupled with Optimus technology, 400M Series notebook GPUs deliver great performance for visual computing applications when you need it, and great battery life when you don't."
Current vendors integrating the new GPU into their notebooks include Acer, Asus, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung and Toshiba.



For once.....good job nvidia!
Name one gaming mobile GPU that has good battery life - yeah there are none. So your point is what exactly?

They will only be used whilst using serious 3d stuff like games and 3d apps, and I think that people usually do their work/gaming at places where there is a socket available. Even then the gt 420m will do just fine without one, I think.
... What, your cracker uses OpenCL or CUDA? What does that have to do with a GPU update?
Congrats to Nvidia, will be interesting to see what they're actually capable of and what the pricetag will be. Also, as Optimus enables the GPU to switch off, well... Switch off to what? An Intel IGP will be there as well?
we all know how that GF104 460 gets right =p need atleast the watt requirements before start branding things hot.

There is a CUDA SDK available that works with aircrack, so the answer is yes and it will work like a charm with the proper wireless chip...
Battery Life? LOL. Who plays games on battery? Are you really on a plane tearing through a single-player campaign of Modern Warfare 2?
The enthusiast laptop products are for high-end laptops that are more about transportability than mobility. Its a lot easier to take a 15-pound, 17-inch laptop and power-brick to a LAN party than it is a 40-pound steel case with a 24-inch LCD monitor.
Still, for the price, I would stick with a desktop. I mean, seriously, how many LAN parties are people going to these days that they need a $2500+ laptop solely for gaming?
