The GPU is set to launch by mid July in India with the Alienware M17x notebook.

Nvidia braggingly claims their newest GeForce GTX 580M GPUs to be the fastest Microsoft DirectX11 notebook GPUs in the market, promises to delvier up to six times the tessellation performance of any other notebook GPUs. The GPU performs up to 20% better performance per watt, as benchmarked with Microsoft DX11 DSub11.

The Alienware GTX 580M is promised to sail up to five hours of battery life while browsing through Facebook, and flow 100 FPS while running Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Nvidia also introduced GTX 570 GPU along with the GTX 580. The comparison specs are listed below.

Packs With Up To 10 Times Better Performance. Useful for Designers and Engineers featuring Outstanding Energy Efficiency.

NVIDIA announced today the NVIDIA Quadro® 400 graphics processing unit (GPU), a new professional graphics solution that puts the power of the GPU in the hands of designers and engineers.

Built for use with professional applications, such as Autodesk AutoCAD, the NVIDIA Quadro 400 GPU provides up to 5X faster performance over high-end consumer gaming cards. It also gives up to 10X improvement when running industry leading CAD/CAM applications.

The Quadro 400 GPU also offers excellent power efficiency, consuming less than 35 watts, and its low-profile footprint means it offers the flexibility to fit into any workstation, including small form-factor systems.

With 512 MB of DDR3 memory, the Quadro 400 processor enables professionals to interact with a wide range of design models. It also provides high visual fidelity, featuring a 30-bit (10-bits per color) color engine with a dynamic range of over one billion color variations. Quadro 400 drivers are optimized and certified on leading professional applications.

Additional features of the new Quadro 400 GPU include:

• Unified Driver Architecture – Guarantees forward and backward compatibility with professional application software drivers, and simplifies upgrading to a new solution.
• Hardware 3D Window Clipping  – Accelerated clip regions enable faster data transfer between a window and the frame buffer to improve overall graphics performance.
• High-Quality Display Connectivity – Drives ultra-high-resolution panels, producing phenomenal image quality, supporting two active connectors, including dual-link DVI with up to 3840 x 2400 resolution @ 24Hz on each panel, and DisplayPort (DP) with up to 2560 x 1600 resolution.
• NVIDIA® Mosaic™ Technology – Enhances workspace across up to eight displays (using one card per two displays), enabling seamless taskbar spanning, as well as transparent scaling of any application.  Works over multiple displays or a single high-resolution display, and with NVIDIA nView® desktop management software.

The NVIDIA Quadro 400 processor also supports NVIDIA 3D Vision™ and 3D Vision Pro active shutter glasses 3D technology that delivers crystal-clear, stereoscopic 3D visualization for the most immersive 3D experience, ranging from desktop workstations to collaborative work spaces.

Designed, Built and Engineered by NVIDIA to the Highest Standards of Quality

As with all Quadro professional graphics cards, the Quadro 400 is designed, built and warranted by NVIDIA to provide industry-leading performance and reliability when running professional applications. Companies consistently certify Quadro professional graphics solutions for their users whose livelihoods depend on them.
