NVIDA has unveiled its most powerful graphics processing units (GPU), the GeForce GTX 280 and 260. The GTX 280 has 240 multi-threaded cores and can process video 18 times faster than the latest CPUs. It has 1.4 billion transistors and is capable of nearly a teraflop.
Rendering 3D images in realtime is just about the most mathematically intensive task a PC will ever engage in, and these GPUs are aimed at applications that have become increasingly visual, according to NVIDIA.
