Is Nvidia Optimus The Future Of Gaming Laptops?
Copyright (c) 2010 Titus Hoskins
If you're not into gaming laptops or keeping up with the latest notebook computer technology, Nvidia Optimus might be completely foreign to you. So for the purpose of this article and your own sanity, we will try and keep this discussion as non-technical as possible.
First, Nvidia Optimus refers to a new technology which lets you seamlessly switch graphics components in your laptop in order for you to save power. For instance, you can switch between Integrated Graphics and Discrete Graphics whenever you need them or which one is best suited to handle the application or computing chore at hand. Having switchable graphics simply means you can get enhanced visuals and longer battery life from your laptop.
Now this is not exactly new, we have had switchable graphics before in laptops but what is revolutionary about Optimus - everything is done automatically behind the scenes, without any interruption and the end-user won't even know a switch has taken place.
In some past systems, the laptop user had to manually switch modes or graphics. Optimus changes that completely, in very simple layman terms, it's like going from a standard automobile to an automatic one; or rather perhaps a better comparison would be to think of hybrid cars, a driver might not know when the vehicle is running on gas or the battery because everything happens automatically in the background. All you know, the hybrid car takes you smoothly from point A to point B.
What is also so significant about Nvidia's Optimus is the overall application of this technology, if a laptop or netbook has an Nvidia GPU and a CPU/chipset with an IGP there is no reason why it can't have Optimus installed. The costs are very low and can be easily absorbed into the cost of the GPU, so you can expect Optimus to appear in ION netbooks, mainstream laptops and especially high-end gaming rigs. About 50 Optimus enabled laptops are coming in the summer of 2010.
Lets face it, for high-performance gaming laptops one of the main problems has been low battery life, if Optimus can increase battery life, it will be a welcomed addition. Nvidia is making some serious claims with this new technology but if only half of what they're saying comes to fruition, then this is indeed a revolutionary break-through. Just the increase in battery life alone, would make Optimus a big step forward.
Just how does Optimus work?
Perhaps, we will have to get just a little technical. Currently, Optimus will recognize applications based upon the executable file name but it can go a little deeper at recognizing the application or what's called for in order to get the best performance. For instance, general web surfing usually doesn't require discrete GPU but if you come across a Flash Video, Optimus will fire up the GPU and route calls thru the video processing engine. End the Flash Video and the GPU can power down again. Likewise, any time you require DirectX (OpenGL), DXVA (DirectX Video Acceleration), or CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) features - Optimus will activate the discrete GPU. If you want a very good and a very detailed technical description of Optimus, I would recommend you read Jarred Walton's excellent article here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/2934/2
However, what you have to remember, Optimus will do all this work seamlessly in the background and you shouldn't even see as much as a flicker on your laptop screen. Because you're using the right parts of your laptop system to give you the best performance while using the least amount of power, you will save energy and battery life.
One of the first laptops to use Optimus technology is the ASUS UL50Vf, and it's very appropriate that one of the first Optimus laptops is coming from ASUS. Since Asustek has been long recognized as a leader in innovative computer products and laptop technology. For example, they launched the popular netbook category with its first Eee PC back in the fall of 2007. In addition, we have the first 3D laptop also coming from ASUS, which is the Asus G51J 3D gaming laptop which features Nvidia's 3D Vision Technology and one of the first 120Hz LED backlit LCD displays able to handle the twin images required for 3D gaming.
Will Optimus revolutionize gaming laptops?
It is probably in these power-hungry high performance machines that Optimus could play a major role. Providing extra battery life would be a great benefit, especially if the costs of supplying that longer battery life is next to nil. No doubt, once laptop manufacturers and designers get their hands on this new technology, we will see some novel applications and uses, especially where gaming is concerned.
Seamlessly powering up or powering down, depending on the applications being handled could prove very beneficial in a gaming laptop. Automatically switching from Integrated Graphics to Discrete Graphics or GPU can increase the efficiency of your laptop and save energy. Gamers want power when they need it and any technology which can give them this ability will be welcomed with open arms. While no one can predict the future, but if Nvidia Optimus technology can give gamers and gaming laptops seamless switchable graphics and save battery life, then that future looks very bright indeed.

Finding The Right Video Editing PC For Facebook And YouTube Web Marketing
Web videos on Facebook and YouTube as a means of reaching clients is increasing in popularity, so it very important to get the right video editing PC to successfully implement this Internet marketing tactic.
Web Video marketing
Video marketing is a new development in the ever-changing world of Internet marketing. Web marketing can either be a polished commercial-style sales pitch for products or instructional or tutorial videos. These videos are often attention-grabbing, and allow marketers to more directly take their message to the public.
For an audience with a short-attentions span that is steadily growing shorter every passing year, video marketing is a viable option to market over the Web that's not highly dependent on getting visitors to Web sites to read lots of text.
With video marketing, online entrepreneurs have a chance to have visitors to their sites see and hear their message, making for a more personalized sales experience. Online marketers can also make use of props and other visual tools to reinforce their message.
The opportunities for online marketing presented by Facebook and YouTube is very interesting and exciting for online marketers. For example, Facebook is the second most-trafficked Web site, with more than 500 million active accounts. And most Facebook users spend one of every three minutes they’re online on the site. YouTube also posts some impressive metrics, with more than 2 billion video views per day.
Getting the right equipment
To effectively market on Facebook and YouTube, Internet marketers need the right video editing PC to make correctly edited videos that will work properly on Facebook and YouTube.
In general, anyone serious about video marketing needs a PC with the memory and video horsepower necessary to view and edit high definition video.
PCs used for video editing will generally need a hard drive of 160GB or more, at least 4 GB of ram, an nVidia Quatro or GeForce video card and a quality sound card. This specs combination is enought to give Internet marketers a PC that will allow them to edit videos efficiently and effectively. When choosing between a laptop and a desktop for video editing purposes, desktops will likely be less expensive than laptops.
Video marketing offers some exciting opportunities for online Internet marketers as it broadens their reach and appeal. Having the right video editing PC will make the process of editing and posting videos quicker, easier and less frustrating than operating with a sub-standard machine.
What's a better nvidia video card than geforce 8800 ?
I'm looking to maybe upgrade my video card. My current one can run every game i've tried on ultra, the geforce 8800 gtx. Now, I know I don't need one now, but what is a stronger card by nvidia on the market?
Thank you for all the very informative answers everyone.
The 9800 *is* the 8800, just tweaked, and (when released) sold for a considerable premium. Then they tweaked the 9800 by adding 35 cents of formed plastic and added $50 to the price.
That being said, the 260, 270, 280, and the 295 are the first generation of nVidia cards better than the one you currently have...the 300 generation never really materialized, but it was re-jiggered and came in as the 400 series, then they brought in the new cards...
In any case, here is a link to the Tom's Hardware Hierarchy of Goodness (Graphically speaking). The higher it is on the chart, the better/more powerful it is...and the more likely the price is to be moderately to exceptionally painful.
