NVIDIA has unveiled the first graphics processing unit (GPU) of its next-generation GeForce 9 Series that may offer the largest single-generation performance jump in the Company’s history. Introduced on Friday, the NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT GPU delivers up to 116%(1) more performance than its predecessor at a price below $199.
According to the Silicon Valley-based company, a point has been reached in PC gaming where the graphics horsepower requirements to play popular games such as Call of Duty 4 and Unreal Tournament 3 at high-definition resolutions such as 1900×1200 and above, with high-image-quality features enabled, may have outpaced a lot of the
installed hardware. Until now, graphics processors capable of delivering playable frame rates at those stressful settings have cost in excess of $400. With the GeForce 9600 GT GPU, immersive gaming with incredible graphics is now within the reach and budget of PC gamers for less than $199.
The GeForce 9600 GT GPU also improves high-definition video playback on
everyday PCs by leveraging NVIDIA PureVideo(R) HD technology to deliver
high-quality playback of HD DVD and Blu-ray movies.
