Nvidia rilascia dopo mesi di affinamento i primi driver WHQL per sistemi Quad SLi. Ecco il comunicato stampa ufficiale proveniente dal sito dell'azienda:
SANTA CLARA, CA—AUGUST 9, 2006—NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the worldwide leader in programmable graphics processor technologies, has made extreme high-definition PC gaming a reality for everyone with the release of the new NVIDIA ForceWare 91.45 graphics driver with Quad NVIDIA SLI technology support. For the first time, users in the do-it yourself (DIY) segment have access to Quad SLI technology, which utilizes the power of four GPUs to make extreme high-definition gaming (XHD)—with resolutions of up to 2560x1600—a possibility for hardcore gamers and computer enthusiasts.
Enthusiasts can now build their own ultimate gaming PC by combining:
- ForceWare 91.45 graphics driver
- Two NVIDIA SLI-Ready GeForce 7950 GX2 graphics cards
- An NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16- or a new NVIDIA nForce 590/570 SLI-based motherboard
- An AMD Athlon FX- 62 or Intel Core 2 Duo processor
"By offering this level of graphics performance to the innovative minds of PC enthusiasts who prefer to build and tune their own systems, we expect to see 'maximum performance' redefined," said Ujesh Desai, general manager of desktop GPUs at NVIDIA. "For the ultimate gaming platform, you can't go wrong with a system built around a NVIDIA nForce SLI MCP-based motherboard and a pair of NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2 graphics cards and completing the set-up with a top-of-the-line CPU and a widescreen display."
The NVIDIA ForceWare 91.45 graphics driver is available now on www.nvidia.com/drivers.
Nvidia proclama ufficialmente - per la prima volta - il Quad SLi come tecnologia "do-it yourself ", in grado cioè di essere assemblata anche da un comune utente. La grande potenza del Quad SLi, ma anche della singola GeForce 7950 GX2, permette un'esperienza di gioco veramente esaltante con il Matrox TripleHead2Go, un dispositivo in grado di permettervi di giocare su tre display:
Matrox TripleHead2Go, attiva la visione periferica
Vi ricordo che in passato abbiamo già avuto modo di parlare di Quad SLi aperto a tutti, ma sulla base di driver Beta.
