Toshiba Introduces Laptops With 3 Nvidia GPUs

10 Nov, 2008, 12:27 pm IST | by tech2 News Staff | Notebooks

Toshiba and Nvidia have teamed up to create Toshiba's most powerful gaming laptop to date featuring the new highly integrated GeForce 9400M graphics processing unit (GPU) along with a pair of Nvidia GeForce 9800M GTS enthusiast-class GPUs. The Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q708 and X305-Q706, the first pair of laptops to incorporate three powerful Nvidia GPUs, gives users a choice between maximum performance and quiet operation.


"We wanted to deliver an extreme-performance gaming machine that gives gamers a complete, non-compromising system in a laptop form factor," said Carl Pinto, vice president of product development, digital products division for Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. "The combination of the Nvidia GPUs and chipset allowed us to achieve a high level of performance, quality and flexibility that our customers are asking for, at a competitive starting price of $1,999."

The design featuring three Nvidia GPUs enables the Qosmio X305-Q708 and X305-Q706 laptops to deliver scorching gaming performance by combining the horsepower of two discrete GeForce 9800M GTS GPUs with Nvidia SLI technology, and allows the option of switching to a quiet operation mode with Nvidia Hybrid SLI technology.

In Hybrid SLI operation, the 9800M GTS GPUs are powered down and graphics operation is transferred to the GeForce 9400M GPU. As a result, Toshiba Qosmio laptops are able to deliver gaming performance at high resolutions, while enabling a quiet state when powering other types of Windows Vista applications.

"The Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q708 is a world-class gaming laptop that uses Nvidia graphics processors to solve real problems and add real value for notebook users," said Rene Haas, general manager of the notebook business unit at Nvidia. "We were thrilled to be able to partner with Toshiba to deliver this ground-breaking new product."

The Qosmio X305-Q708 and X305-Q706 laptops are now available for purchase directly from Toshiba.
