S.l.i. For Your Laptop

dubdvd

Thats right you hav'nt read it wrong ...They have come up with the idea that " if you can now have an upgradable GPU" ,well why not two ....It will work as a kind of a extrenal slot-in device , something like a laptop battery same kinda size and idea that you slot it into your laptop and pop into the bios and disable your internal graphics and enable the slot in one ,which i'd say will be based on a dual core gpu .....which interface they will use i dont know but it would have to be very fast to be able to read and write in GBs per second....some say the end of the year should see the first ones showing there heads ....And i can only imagine the price for this luxury ....The likes of top-end Dell and Alienware lappies will have them first ill say ...
Keep watching this same bat channel at the same bat-time next year for more news on its release and benchmarks

dubdvd

i just made it up it sounded good didnt it



only joking ...its kinda old news at this stage ..i was just reading through some of my past issuses of my and the worlds best ever mag "CUSTOM PC" its a class mag btw it out every month around the 27th in every good easons ...this was in january's ed ...it went like this

SLI LAPTOP GRAPHICS
IF YOU THOUGHT THAT HAVING TWO GPU'S IN YOUR DESKTOP PC WAS BORDERING ON THE RIDICULOUS ,THEN YOULL BE ABSOLUTELY DUMBFOUNDED BY WHAT NVIDIA HAS IN STORE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF LAPTOPS ...NOT ONLY WILL MERE MORTALS SUCH AS OURSELFS BE ABLE TO UPGRADE OUR MOBLIE GRAPHICS CHIPS ,,,BUT WE'LL BE ALSO BE ABLE TO RUN TWO MOBLIE GPU'S IN SLI....
ROB CSONGOR FROM NVIDIA TOLD CPC THAT THERE WILL BE SLI FOR MXM (NVIDIA'S STANDARD FOR LAPTOP GRAPHICS MODULES) ON A LAPTOP ...ITS STILL EARLY ,BUT RIGHT NOW WHERE INVOLED ON WORKING ON THAT ....
WHEN ASKED IF LAPTOP GRAPHICS WOULD BE USER UPGRADEABLE HE SAID YES BUT NOT TODAY..CSONGOR DESCRIBED FUTURE MOBLIE GRAPHIC'S MODULES AS A BIT LIKE LAPTOP BATTERIES THAT COULD SLOT INTO THE MACHINE WITH THE CHIP AND COOLER BUILT-IN ...ACCORDING TO CSONGOR IT WILL BE AT LEAST A YEAR BEFORE WE GET TO THAT STAGE ...
