New Driver Improves Your Gaming Performance 11 to 45%!!
As I have discussed with you in the past, NVIDIA is the only GPU maker that provides notebook users their graphics driver upgrades. Our first driver delivered CUDA to notebook users.
The GPU is the Right Processor for Video Applications
I explained earlier that one of the key reasons NVIDIA went to a downloadable driver model for notebooks was to enable new features for customers with capable graphics processors (GPUs). The backbone to this is NVIDIA CUDA technology and the emergence of consumer applications that benefit from parallel computing, which is where GPUs really excel.
Amazing New CUDA-Powered Video Enhancement
When NVIDIA went to a driver model that allowed consumers to update their notebook graphics drivers direct from NVIDIA, we enabled millions of notebook users to enjoy the benefits of our CUDA parallel computing architecture. One application that was released today that is a great example of how CUDA makes life better is vReveal from MotionDSP.
NVIDIA Delivers the Fastest Notebook GPU Ever – and More
