14 DAY TRIAL // Eager to offer an alternative to Intel's Wireless Display Technology, NVIDIA is reportedly planning on developing its own solution that can wirelessly stream video to auxiliary display solutions.
Not long ago, during GTC (GPU technology Conference), the Santa Clara, California-based company revealed its roadmap for future GPUs, which included the Kepler and Maxwell.
This revelation grabbed most of the attention directed at the event, but is hardly the only one made over the past few days.
Those that keep track of the developments on the PC market may be aware of Intel's Wireless Display technology.
This solution is meant to allow a computer to stream videos in high quality to a display without the need for cables.
Particularly intriguing for notebooks, this technology has, more or less, been the only one of its kind for a while now.
Apparently eager to 'fix' this issue and break Intel's monopoly, NVIDIA is, according to a recent report, developing its own version.
Fudzilla reports that NVIDIA can use the same principle as the one that lets its graphics processing units communicate with the chipset via the PCI Express notebook slot.
Basically, all it would take would be to send the frame buffer towards some other destination by having the GPU communicate with the wireless solution instead.
Such a feature would definitely prove intriguing for any sort of mobile PCs, not just notebooks but also tablets.
Unfortunately, there is no information, at this time, on how long it will be before this project comes to fruition, though one can only hope it will show up at least as early as the new GPUs it has in store.
In other news, Fudzilla also reports that recent rumors suggesting that NVIDIA may be losing interest in games is not true.
In fact, NVIDIA is supposedly hiring even more developers meant to optimize its video products for games and other entertainment venues.
