NVIDIA mulling external graphics for notebooks
Feb 10th
NVIDIA is considering introducing its first true external notebook graphics, a company executive says. According to a recent Xbitlabs report, NVIDIA notebook GPU division general manager Rene Haas sees a big opportunity in such a market.

ATI Radeon HD 5570: Affordable DX11 GPU fills the last gap in DirectX 11 empire

Let’s just hope the performance lives up to such a blusterous naming scheme.
