NVIDIA refreshes notebook graphics with GeForce GTX 560M

Nvidia refreshes its mobile graphic for the laptop market, and has already managed to attract four major players to release products running on them. Nvidia has announced two new chips for the mobile keyboard warriors, and one of them is the new GTX 560M.
The GTX 560M is obviously the successor for the GTX 460M, running on the same 192 CUDA cores (now clocked at 1550MHz) and up to 3GB of GDDR5 memory (now clocked at 1250MHz, with a 192-bit bus). Nvidia guarantees that you will be able to run the latest games playable framerates on a 1080p screen with maximum detail — save antialiasing. Of course, that assumes you’ve also got a recent quad-core Sandy Bridge processor and gobs upon gobs of RAM, but NVIDIA also says that with the built-in Optimus switchable graphics, those same potent laptops should be able to manage five hours of battery life while idling, if you really need them.
Of course, those with slightly tighter budgets will be happy that Nvidia is also launching the new GeForce GT520MX for laptops, which bumps up all the clock speed for the GT 520M. Four laptop manufacturers will be launching laptops utilizing these chips, and they are Asus, Alienware, MSI, and Toshiba.
