MIAMI
- Nov. 8, 2006 - Alienware® the
leading manufacturer of
high-performance desktop, notebook,
media center and professional
systems is continuing to feed the
needs of graphic-hungry users. The
PC maker will equip its most
powerful desktops with the
unprecedented new NVIDIA® GeForce(TM)
8800 GTX graphics processing units (GPU)
in single or dual-GPU mode with
NVIDIA SLI(TM) technology. Customers
purchasing award-winning Area-51®
7500, Aurora(TM) 7500, and ALX
desktops will be able to configure
their systems with the industry's
first GPU to be fully compliant with
next-generation DirectX 10 games and
applications.
"Everything that makes gaming great
the pulse-pounding action, the
immersive environments, the
intricate detail is dramatically
intensified on Alienware systems
with the new NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX,”
said Mark Vena, Vice President of
Marketing at Alienware. "Whether
diving into graphics-intensive
creative projects, developing
near-realistic simulations, maxing
out battle settings for today's
hottest games or experiencing a new
era of gaming on the DirectX 10
games of tomorrow that will emerge
with upcoming release of Microsoft
Vista, users will have all the
weaponry they need to dominate on
Alienware desktop systems featuring
the mind-blowing performance of the
GeForce 8800.”
The
GeForce 8800 GTX provides
exceptional graphics realism in
computer-generated visual elements
ranging from the detail of shadows
and explosions to the movement of
water and characters' hair,
culminating in an extreme HD
graphics experience at up to
2560x1600 resolution with
blazing-fast frame rates. That
graphics realism is produced by an
advanced new unified shader
architecture, which dynamically
allocates processing power to
geometry, vertex, physics or pixel
shading operations, in addition to a
high speed memory interface and two
dual-link DVI outputs.
To
complete the definitive NVIDIA
gaming platform, the GeForce 8800
GTX is joined by NVIDIA's nForce®
680i SLI(TM)-based motherboard. The
nForce 680i is architected for
maximum gaming performance both on
Alienware's Intel®-based Area-51
desktops and AMD-based Aurora
desktops, and it utilizes NVIDIA SLI
technology to enable up to double
the gaming power of a single-GPU
configuration.
"NVIDIA's release of the GeForce
8800 GTX represents a paramount
achievement in graphics technology,
encompassing a revolutionary unified
shader architecture, unprecedented
image quality and complete DirectX
10 compliance,” said Ujesh Desai,
general manager of desktop GPUs at
NVIDIA. "By packing the graphical
muscle of the GeForce 8800 GTX with
an nForce 680i SLI-based
motherboard, Alienware systems will
be able to reach a level of
performance that will sure have
gamers buzzing.”
