Nvidia
is hoping to cash in on the large number of graphics-intensive games expected to
be sitting under Christmas trees this festive season.
The firm believes that games including
Crysis,
Unreal
Tournament 3 and
Call
of Duty 4 are all sure bets to be at the top of the gift list this holiday
season.
Nvidia will be teaming up with notebook manufacturers to get a number of PCs
equipped with GPUs, such as its just-released GeForce 8800M, into gamers' hands.
The new GeForce 8800M GTX and GeForce 8800M are the company's latest units to
support the new generation of DirectX 10 games.
Cervat Yerli, chief executive at games developer
Crytek,
said: "For gamers wanting to experience the advanced visual realism of
Crysis the new GeForce 8800M powered machines are the ones to get."
The GeForce 8M Series GPUs also feature the Nvidia PureVideo HD engine
capable of playing back HD-DVD, Blu-ray and HD movie downloads.
Notebooks with the new GPUs will soon be available from manufacturers
worldwide including Alienware, Eurocom, Gateway, and Sager.
