With the revamped E3 Expo set to kick off next week, gaming and entertainment companies are looking to get a jump on the buzz with pre-announcements and “accidental” slips that reveal product plans on the cusp of the event. So it is with Alienware’s long-teased “All Powerful” M17x notebook: the details have finally spilled, and we’re suer some gamers are busily sopping up drool.
From the press release:
These new products bring the feature set of NVIDIA’s flagship GeForce 6800 GPU, including support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 and NVIDIA’s revolutionary UltraShadow II technology, to the mainstream market. The GeForce 6600 GT rips through DOOM 3 at a stunning 42 frames per second at high quality, high-resolution (1600×1200x32) settings .
“NVIDIA’s latest generation of chipsets gives exceptional performance and feature gains across the entire line, from the consumer cards to the specialty cards. I use a GeForce 6800 class card in my primary workstation, which is the best endorsement I can give,†said John Carmack, president and technical director of id Software.â€
By supporting NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) for desktop and notebook PCs, including the new NVIDIA GeForce FX family of GPUs, EA is able to deliver innovative and rock-solid gamingexperiences to PC consumers worldwide.
“EA is excited about this relationship as it allows us to continue our long standing relationship with NVIDIA,†said Scott Cronce, vice president and chief technology officer at EA. “Working with NVIDIA’s high-quality GPUs will help us as we continue to enhance graphics performance in our games and produce cutting-edge content.â€
