NVIDIA Revamps its Laptop Graphics Driver Update Schedule

By Wilson • Dec 22nd, 2008 • Category: Mobile Computer News

One major issue with laptops, notebooks or netbooks, is to find all the drivers for the graphics chip or to constantly have to update them. It’s really hard to find driver updates for notebook graphics which ultimately hinders the gaming and graphics performance for end users. However, how well a particular game runs on the laptop depends on the graphics card model, its speed, memory and the game settings, but still the importance of driver updates cannot be ignored.

nVIDIA, the world leader in visual computing technologies, has put an end to this problem by launching its quarterly notebook driver release schedule. This programme will launch a new nVIDIA notebook GPU driver every three months. Due to the modularised driver architecture, the drivers will make use of a unified installer which is designed to work on any laptop having nVIDIA graphics chip. However, you have to keep in mind that the vendor-specific tweaks are preserved as they were while updating the drivers. This update schedule will benefit gaming notebooks, like the Asus G71V, a lot. Earlier, hardcore gamers had to wait for a long time to get a driver update to boost their GPU’s performance, but now this issue will be eliminated and gamers will periodically get enhanced drivers.

Initially, the driver release will support nVidia 8M-series and 9M-series GPU but the remaining ones including the Hybrid SLI notebooks will also be covered in the subsequent driver release.

Acer eMachine E510: An All Purpose Laptop

By James • Nov 3rd, 2008 • Category: Laptops

The Acer eMachine e510 is an all purpose laptop that offers performance and speed at affordable price. This notebook has a slim design and pleasing configuration, but it is not meant for playing sophisticated games, which demand hi-end graphics adapter and CPU.

The processor installed in the E510 is the Intel Celeron with a FSB @ 533 MHz, clock speed of 2.13 GHz, and 1MB of cache. The processor is backed by 2 GBs of RAM, which gives it enough power to handle complex tasks. This laptop can run HD videos @ 720p smoothly; process photos and delivers hi-fi audio. The only grey area is its highly reflective display and graphic chip. Because of the reflective LCD it becomes hard to concentrate on the data. Apart from this, the Intel GMA X3100, which is a low end video adapter, limits the level of game play and other graphic intensive applications.

But this doesn’t mean that the e510 is not worth buying. If you are only interested in doing your office work, enjoying multimedia content and playing low-end games, then the Acer eMachine E520 is an ideal solution. It also has an additional VGA port, which can be used to send video output to an external device such as an HD Ready TV-set with a VGA input port. E510 comes with a preinstalled Linux OS on its SATA HDD. This notebook may create some problems while installing or running Windows OS. So this device is intended only for Linux enthusiasts.
