NVIDIA has launched its latest mobile GPU – the GeForce 8700M GT. It is the latest addition to NVIDIA’s GeForce 8M lineup and comes after the previously released GeForce 8600M and 8400M models.

The GeForce 8700M GT will be the top chip in NVIDIA’s Mobile stable replacing the existing GeForce Go 7950 GTX. NVIDIA claims 3DMark05 scores of 10,371 with the GeForce 8700M GT on default settings. In comparison the GeForce Go 7950 GTX scores 9,395 in 3DMark05. The GeForce 8700M GT is also 27-34% faster than the GeForce Go 7950 GTX in Half Life 2: Lost Coast and Far Cry.

"For our new top-end Toshiba Satellite laptop PC we are proud to be the first company to use the NVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT GPU to deliver greatly enhanced graphics and video," said Shimpei Kunii, General Manager of PC Product Planning Department at Toshiba Corporation. "We believe these new laptops will provide the ultimate high-resolution DirectX 10 gaming experience for our mobile customers."

The GeForce 8700M GT features 32 stream processors clocked at 1.25 GHz. The core is clocked at 625 MHz and the memory at 800 MHz (1.6 GHz effective). NVIDIA specifies a maximum 512MB of video memory on GeForce 8700M GT graphics cards. Apart from the clock speeds, the GeForce 8700M GT is identical to the previously released GeForce 8600M-series.

The GeForce 8700M GT features NVIDIA’s second-generation PureVideo HD video processor that off loads the CPU while decoding high-definition AVC/H.264 video formats.

The GeForce 8700M GT GPU will be available in laptops from leading partners in North America, Europe, and Asia, including Toshiba, Sager, Prostar, Eurocom, Biohazard, Connoiseur, Cybersystem, Hypersonic, MALIBAL, Multirama, Rock, Evesham, Falcon Northwest, Plaisio, XS2, Nexoc, Hyrican, Vigor Gaming, Voodoo PC, and many others.

In addition to accelerating existing DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 content, such as the new DirectX 10 version of Company of Heroes, the GeForce 8700M GT will also support highly anticipated upcoming releases such as Crysis from Crytek and Lost Planet from Capcom.
