NVIDIA’s president and CEO, Jen-Hsun Huang, has taken to the company’s official blog to address the recent controversy concerning its GeForce GTX 970 video cards. What’s intended to be an apology, however, doesn’t quite work out that way. The controversy began about a month ago when owners of the GTX 970 card noticed some strange behavior from their cards when compared to the card’s...
This is just a quick reminder to our NVIDIA fans out there: the NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet, which we’ve dubbed the best Android tablet out there, is getting a major update on Tuesday that you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for. The update includes Android 5.0 Lollipop, Google’s latest and greatest mobile operating system, in addition to NVIDIA’s amazing new and free GRID gaming service. The...
NVIDIA on Thursday morning announced several new fantastic updates that are heading to the SHIELD Tablet, which we’ve dubbed the best Android tablet on the market. We still stick by those claims, and now there’s even more of a reason to pick one up. First, NVIDIA confirmed today that it’s rolling out Android 5.0 Lollipop to the SHIELD Tablet on Nov. 18, over the air. The SHIELD Tablet...
The Nexus 9 is due to arrive to users next week as the first device sporting Android 5.0 Lollipop. While it has one first to its name, it’s the second tablet to come at us with the powerful NVIDIA K1 processor. This of course leads us to wonder how these two tablets compare to one another. Normally when we do spec shootouts there is a fairly clear winner when you look at the two of...
Here's a look at how Nvidia's next batch of graphics cards might perform How about we kick off the work week with some rumors, speculation, and purportedly leaked info, shall we? Sure, why not!

The past few months have delivered two of the best small tablets we’ve seen all year—maybe ever. That’s great for consumers, but it also poses a problem: with so many terrific tablets on the market, it becomes that much harder to choose which one to buy. It used to be we only purchased the iPad mini or Nexus 7. But these two devices—Tab S 8.4 and SHIELD Tablet—is shaking up the status...
You can look at NVIDIA’s excellent SHIELD Tablet through a few different lenses. One: as a cheap, (mostly) vanilla Android device that sports some predictably powerful specs. Two: as a gaming powerhouse stuffed into a tablet’s body—something that further pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in the mobile market. Either way you look at it, you’ll find NVIDIA’s new Tegra K1-equipped...
NVIDIA is known in the industry for processors, graphics cards and other supercomputing technology. What NVIDIA isn’t well-known for is making great mobile devices. We saw the company take a stab at making its own mobile device with the handheld controller/phone/tablet hybrid that was the NVIDIA SHIELD, while we also saw a more tempered effort with the Tegra Note. Neither of these was a...
NVIDIA just announced the NVIDIA SHIELD tablet and we’re already here with our hands-on of the brand new gaming slate. It joins a new SHIELD controller and the existing NVIDIA SHIELD to fill out the entire family, and it’s one of the most impressive tablets we’ve played with in recent memory. First, some specs: the device is powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra K1 processor, sports a brand new...
