Not everybody needs the world’s fastest mobile GPU, so NVIDIA is sagely trickling down its Fermi magic to more affordable price points today, thought ‘affordable’ is very subjective in my mind. Anyway, the GeForce 400M family is being fleshed out with five new midrange parts: GT 445M, GT 435M, GT 425M, GT 420M and GT 415M, to give them their gorgeous names – two heavyweight champions known as the GTX 470M and GTX 460M. Features shared across the new lineup include a 40nm fab process, DirectX 11 enabled, CUDA general-purpose computing abilities, PhysX-support, and Nvidia’s Optimus graphics switching. 3D Vision and 3DTV Play support will be available on all but the lowest two variants. Too bad, but like I said, 3D comes with a price. Anyway, NVIDIA claims that, on average, the 400M graphics cards are 40 percent faster than their 300M series counterparts, ‘so they say’. But I’m sure you won’t be able to fry any eggs with these, so don’t worry about frying your palms too.
