14 DAY TRIAL // Hot on the trails of Alienware and the introduction of the GTX 580M graphics card, Eurocom has announced that Nvidia's flagship mobile solution will be soon available as an option in no less than four of the company's notebook models.
Announced just two days earlier, the GTX 580M is a mobile version of the GF104/114 core that was used by Nvidia for the desktop GTX 460/560 graphics cards and it packs 384 streaming processors.
The main clock of the GPU is set at 620MHz (so the shader cores operate at 1240MHz), and this also includes a 256-bit memory bus which is paired with 2GB of GDDR5 memory operating at an effective 3GHz.
Apart from the improved clock speeds, the main advantage that the GTX 580M holds over its predecessor, the GTX 485M, is the support for Nvidia's Optimus technology.
Sadly, we don't know if this technology is enabled in Eurocom's mobile systems, but the company does offer its customers the option of running two GTX 580M graphics cards in an SLI mode, in select notebooks.
“The newest innovations from NVIDIA will push our impressive performance figures even further. They will improve our line Performance Gaming and Business Notebooks” said Mark Bialic, Eurocom president.
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 580M graphics card is available in the Eurocom Panther 3.0, Neptune, Racer and Fox Series mobile systems as well as in the Eurocom Uno 2.0 all-in-one desktop system.
Sadly, the company hasn't released any information regarding the price of the GTX 580M upgrade, and the graphics card isn't yet listed in the configuration page of any of the systems listed above.
We also don't know whether the GeForce GTX 570M, which was announced at the same time with Nvidia's flagship mobile GPU, will be available as an option in Eurocom's mobile systems.
