SANTA CLARA (dpa-AFX) - NVIDIA (NVDA) Thursday introduced the first high-end products based on its Maxwell chip architecture -- the new GeForce GTX 980 and 970 GPUs.
According to the company, these deliver unmatched performance, major new graphics capabilities and have twice the energy efficiency of the previous generation.
Maxwell is the company's 10th-generation GPU architecture, following Kepler. It solves some of the most complex lighting and graphics challenges in visual computing.
Its new Voxel Global Illumination technology enables gaming GPUs for the first time to deliver real-time dynamic global illumination. Scenes are more lifelike as light interacts realistically in the game environment, leading to deeper levels of immersion for gamers.
Further, a range of new technologies enable Maxwell-based GTX 980 and 970 GPUs to render frames with the highest fidelity at higher clock speeds and lower power consumption than any other GPU in their class.
