Channelling the long-established performance of its GTX brand into portable gaming, NVIDIA has this week unveiled the new GeForce GTX 560M, which promises to deliver substantial enhancements such as support for Optimus graphics-switching and improved 1080p frame rates.

\n

By bringing the Optimus platform to mobile computers, NVIDIA will enable gamers to conserve invaluable battery reserves by utilising their hardware?s built-in Intel graphics solution, which is considerably less power-hungry and better suited for more everyday tasks.

\n

And, with power safely saved, the GTX 560M should then allow hardened games players to enjoy the likes of Crysis 2, Duke Nukem Forever and other graphics-intensive titles in smooth Full 1080p HD.

\n

Once the GTX 560M is fired up, it should provide a frame rate of up to 50 fps when all associated gameplay settings (on taxing titles such as Crysis 2) are pushed to maximum, according to NVIDIA.

\n

Other contributing aspects aboard the GeForce GTX 560M include support for Direct X 11, NVIDIA 3D Vision, NVIDIA PhysX technology, NVIDIA Cuda, and systems running SLI configurations.

\n

Initial computer hardware carrying both the GTX 560M and Optimus technology will be offered up by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) such as Alienware and Toshiba.

\n

Those set to deliver just the GTX 560M on notebook platforms include ASUS, Clevo and MSI.
