Latest NVIDIA cornered and 4K images on the display screens and 1080p

Again in February, the first jogging NVIDIA GPUs for desktop very feature new architecture Maxwell: GeForce GTX 750 and 750i. These are the cards input range is an example of efficiency, but it was barely strong examples of what was the last company truly capable of graphics technology. No, revealed today the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 - and 970 desktop GPUs. Major new GPU still enjoy the efficiency gains provided by the first generation cards Maxwell, but tend more strongly on performance. If you are a PC gamer with a GTX 680 or 560 in your lap, and it is the NVIDIA wants you to upgrade to. 

On paper, it is enough to estimate these cards, "Energy due :. $ 549 GTX 980 boasts a 1.1GHz base speed per hour (1.2 to lot) 2048 CUDA cores and 4GB GDDR5 video memory and $ 329 GTX 970 brings a bit of the CUDA cores (totaling 1,664) to look strongly at 1GHz (with a 1.1), but low power less to reduce size :. 145W to 165W of 980 tests and NVIDIA (display in the gallery above), these statistics have reported the superiority of several AMD with almost half. tie power again, even NVIDIA knows the statistics on the number of basic means bupkis to the public of consumers -. players want to know what will do it for them all these specifications met Scott Herkelman, general manager of GeForce Nvidia, to learn new tricks Maxwell. 

"And one of the things we thought when we tried to launch Maxwell is this division which operates in games today" Herkelman Engadget. NVIDIA and found that players either want to increase the visual settings evaluations of past performance for the game, or maximize the framerate without sacrificing image quality. Surprise: the second generation of GPU Maxwell introduction of two new technologies that can help. 

Dynamic ultra-precision, for example, is in the game to make it a higher than expected display resolution output. "We 4K image in the background, then put them through the camouflage 13 candidates," he said. "Then we get to the bottom of the 1080P device." Regarding the game, and hose to great precision and clarity of the image to a 4K, but Maxwell has to get started 1080p display. This feature is designed to enhance the quality of the image on the game that is already listening better visual parameters. Basically, it's an easy shortcut. It seems to work pretty well, too, but not perfect: some elements of the user interface 4K does not fit well on small screens. NVIDIA said Herkelman continue to improve and refine function. 

"And called the new technology of our other MFAA, or anti-aliasing multi-part" sample, said Herkelman. "It's for those games where you already have the picture quality is great, but you want more performance. "Such as traditional anti-aliasing, it can be sampled pixels several times, but MFAA labor cuts over several frames. Herkleman believes that this can improve performance by up to 30 percent. 

Finally, the high-end cards Maxwell will be able to enjoy the games that use the voxel global illumination, a new dynamic lighting technology that promises and agrees to allow active destructive environments, and lighting realistic. How realistic is that? Realistic enough to expose the conspiracy theories about the moon landing, actually. NVIDIA says the new lighting solution will be available for EU4 and other major engines later this year. 

No bells and whistles you're looking for? Fine - Maxwell has a few more hidden features, but you will not be able to use it until the market takes off virtual reality for consumption. The program works to direct NVIDIA graphics VR provide low latency for headphones VR Oculus Rift as consumers. Herkleman showed off Eve Maxwell powered: Valkyrie experimental example. In fact, the pilot was smooth, but the direct effect of VR in the future experience GeForce really caught our attention. In addition to supporting SLI, DSR and the MFAA, NVIDIA in direct VR promises "unit", a feature designed to bend the game is not intended for virtual reality view Oculus Rift and stereoscopic. Herkleman told us that the company may be the white characteristic of compatible games, is not unlike the way they are implemented NVIDIA 3D Vision. 

Therefore, when consumers can get their hands on the new Maxwell? Soon. CEO announced NVIDIA, Jen-Hsun Huang officially GeForce GTX Game24 new tonight, and they should be available for sale tomorrow morning from partners NVIDIA usual features: EVGA, ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI and PNY and other .
