NVIDIA Doesn't Mind Custom-Designed GeForce GTX 760 Boards

Even though the GeForce GTX 760 graphics card won't be anything special, seeing that it's just a rebranded GTX 660, NVIDIA and its partners are still acting as though it were.

Screenshot Reveals Specifications of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760

We caught onto the likely existence of yet another NVIDIA graphics card just a short time ago, days as it were, but at the time, we didn't know much about it, other than its name. That has now changed. Well, that's not quite true. We did learn that the GeForce GTX 760, as the graphics card is called, will...

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Set for June 25, 2013 Release

Since I suspect everyone has more or less heard enough about the GeForce GTX Titan l, GTX 780, and GTX 780 graphics cards, I'm sure some news about the GTX 760 will be a welcome refresh. Especially since this is essentially the first bit of actual, real news about it. The few, very brief, previous murmurs about...

E3 2013: Nvidia Bets Big on the PC, Cloud, and Shield

The main idea for Nvidia during E3 2013 is that open gaming platforms are always better than closed ones, which makes the PC, Android-powered devices, and the new Shield a very good long-term investment. The graphics-focused company wants to continue working on the expansion of its desktop solutions, but much of its...

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WindForce 3X, a Factory Overclocked Graphics Adapter

The GeForce GTX 770 graphics card from NVIDIA is one of those less-than-ordinary adapters that its maker allows to be modified, instead of ordering OEMs to stick to reference blueprints for a while. Taking advantage of this, Gigabyte has created the GeForce GTX 770 WindForce 3X, which has more than the special cool...

NVIDIA: We're Glad the New Game Consoles Are Here

Roundabout logic usually causes brain aches, but that's precisely the sort of argument that NVIDIA used when talking about game consoles at the E3 game convention, taking place at the Los Angeles Convention center.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Getting Cheaper, Now at €557 / $557 – 736

It has only been two weeks since the introduction of NVIDIA's high-end GeForce GTX 780, a single-GPU graphics adapter second only to the GTX Titan. One would think it would take NVIDIA a bit longer for prices to start dropping, but it looks like things are moving a bit faster in this case. Which is to say, t...

NVIDIA Praises the Microsoft Outlook Gods for Taking Care of Windows RT

A few months ago, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang asked what he called the “Outlook gods” to help Microsoft bring Outlook to Windows RT and thus make the tablet-oriented OS a much appealing choice for everybody.

Computex 2013: NVIDIA Considers New Expansions and Acquisitions [WSJ]

We suppose it was a long time coming. With AMD becoming NVIDIA's rival after buying ATI, and essentially outdoing it because it simply has a wider variety of products on sale, NVIDIA is thinking of branching out too. At this point, however, it is impossible to say what branches NVIDIA will grow or graft. We do...

Galaxy Also Has a Factory Overclocked GTX 770

Galaxy has joined Palit and many others in releasing a GeForce GTX 770 graphics adapter. Unlike some of NVIDIA's other partners though, it didn't flood the market with too many of them.

NVIDIA Releases GeForce GTX 700M Laptop GPUs

Since Intel and Advanced Micro Devices will both introduce new CPUs/APUs at Computex 2013, or have already launched something or other, NVIDIA wasn't about to stay silent during this period.

GeForce GTX 770 DirectCU II Launched by ASUS

The reference GeForce GTX 770 graphics card from NVIDIA operates at 1,046 MHz / 1,085 MHz, but ASUS was not satisfied with that.
