NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 - New Features & Design
  3D Vision 2

Announced at GeForce LAN 6 in October, 3D Vision™ 2 is now available for purchase. Combined with the latest generation displays with NVIDIA 3D LightBoost technology, 3D Vision 2 offers significantly better brightness to overcome the dimming effect of 3D glasses for an improved viewing experience and brighter ambient light for viewing keyboards and other peripherals.

3D Vision 2 features an improved design with 20% larger lenses for even more viewing area with less light leakage, as well as softer materials for more comfort and a better fit - particularly when using headphones.

Just like the original 3D Vision, 3D Vision 2 is compatible with over 600 game titles and allows users to experience immersive 3D photos and videos on their PCs. 3D Vision 2 and new displays with NVIDIA 3D LightBoost technology are cross-compatible with the original 3D Vision emitters and displays.

Quad-core To Go - Experience NVIDIA Tegra 3
Tegra 3

This month, NVIDIA ushered in the era of quad-core computing for tablets and phones with the Tegra® 3 processor.

Featuring a fifth lower-frequency and low-power "companion core", Tegra 3 completely powers down its four performance-tuned cores during less power-hungry tasks like music and video playback for exceptional battery life. For higher performance tasks, Tegra 3 disables its companion core and turns on its four performance cores one at a time as the work load increases. Tegra 3 also includes a brand new 12-core GPU that delivers up to 3x the graphics performance of Tegra 2.

Get unbeatable multitasking, video, gaming, and battery life — now available in the world’s first Tegra 3-powered quad-core tablet, the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime.

Gear Up For The World's Fastest PC Gaming Platform
SLI Technology

If you're looking to build the fastest PCs possible, look no further than new X79 motherboards with NVIDIA SLI® Technology. While Intel's existing high end CPUs are sufficiently powerful for 2-way SLI, if you're looking to offer 3-way SLI, the X79 platform can offer up to 30% higher performance over X58. New X79 motherboards with NVIDIA SLI Technology also support 4-way SLI allowing you to connect four GeForce GTX 580s together for extreme performance in demanding PC games like Battlefield 3 and Batman: Arkham City.

All major motherboard vendors will be shipping X79 based motherboards in coming weeks, including ASUS, EVGA, Gigabyte and MSI.

Help Your Customers Escape The Cubicle With VMware and Quadro
Quadro Virtual Graphics Platform

Originally code named "Project Monterey", NVIDIA first showed the NVIDIA Quadro® Virtual Graphics Platform at SIGGRAPH 2011 in Vancouver, Canada. Now, NVIDIA and VMware have teamed up to add the capability of a dedicated Quadro graphics card to VMware's enterprise class desktop virtualization solution, View 5.

With the VMware View 5 client, Quadro workstation users can connect to their desktops from virtually anywhere in the world, using a variety of mobile devices. Even the most visually demanding users will have the freedom to work from multiple locations, all while giving IT managers the security and management capabilities they need.
