Nvidia today brings its next-generation Kepler graphics architecture to the top of the GeForce notebook GPU line-up, with the launch of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 680M. “The GeForce GTX 680M is the fastest mobile GPU ever, but it’s more than just a speed king,” said Rene Haas, Vice President and General Manager of the notebook business unit at NVIDIA. “The intense focus on performance and technology engineered into the 2GB GDDR5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680M is a perfect match for the Alienware M17x and M18x laptops,” said Frank Azor, Alienware General Manager. “Whether a single graphics card on the 17x or dual GTX 680M’s on the M18x, Alienware owners are going to love having this much power at their fingertips.” The Alienware M17x will be available with a GeForce GTX 680M GPU and NVIDIA Optimus technology or NVIDIA 3D Vision technology. The GeForce GTX 680M GPU is also available in MSI GT70 notebooks and gaming notebooks from Clevo channel partners such as Ava Direct, Maingear and Origin.
