ViewSonic plus wants in on the 3D game with their pair of 3D glasses known as the PGD-150. The company already has a range of 3D projectors for the masses, relying on the NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision system in order to create the 3D effect, so why not complete the experience by offering their own pair of active shutter glasses? The PGD-150 glasses will come in a black frame with the IR sensor positioned right among the eyes. Basically, it looks like a much more contemporary version of the traditional, box-like paper red and blue glasses from the days of yore. You will be pleased to know that ViewSonic won’t charge an arm and a leg for the PGD-150 glasses unlike its competitors, as it will retail for less than $100.

Leaks about the updated MacBook Pro (MBP) have been floating around a lot recently, and now it’s finally official! At a glance, the most obvious upgrades would be the Intel Core i5 processor option on the 15 and 17-inch MacBook Pros, and the Core i7 on the 15-inch MacBook Pro. Aside from that, NVIDIA GeForce 320M and GT330M graphics are on the table, as well as a 10-hour built-in battery. Those certainly add up to a great package, not to mention the price that they’re going for are appealing too. The best part is that they’re already available on Apple’s online store.

Word has it that NVIDIA is working on its DirectX 11 compatible GeForce GTX 460 graphics card that will be based on the Fermi architecture. As you can tell by its model number alone, that won’t be as almighty a performer as the GTX 470 although that doesn’t mean that it is a slouch when it comes to performance, boasting decent processing firepower to hold its own against the ATI Radeon HD 5850. Features of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 include a 256-bit memory interface, 1GB of GDDR5 memory, and DirectX 11 technology support. Expect to see that graphics card hit the market that coming June for under three Benjamins.

NVIDIA has just officially launched their GeForce GTX480 (codenamed Fermi) graphics card that supports DirectX 11. NVIDIA claims that gaming performance is “1.5-2x” higher than the GeForce GTX 285 – which is a substantial amount, even by historical GPU upgrade standards. For many games, the GTX 480 is around 10%-20% faster than the AMD 5870. That said, the big difference comes from the GF GTX 480 DX11 tessellation engine that scales much better than AMD’s implementation. NVIDIA gets the absolute one GPU performance crown back, but in terms of value and capability consumption, and for today’s games, the AMD offering is still very relevant, whether not better, depending on your needs. That’s the bottom-line, but whether you really want to look at all the details, I recommend reading the full review on Anandtech or PCPers. It’s probably too geeky for most, but that’s where you’ll find all the small details.
