Nvidia confirms GeForce GTX 560 (non-Ti) for May 17

Posted: 15 May 2011 07:44 AM PDT

For no apparent reason except maybe building up hype, Nvidia has confirmed rumors of the incoming release of a Titanium-less GeForce TX 560. The new DirectX 11 card will be introduced on May 17th, two days from now and will be positioned (price and performance wise) somewhere between the GeForce GTX 460 and GTX 560 Ti.

Nvidia wouldn’t talk about specification but it did make a preview of the GeForce GTX 560, running it in three upcoming games – Duke Nukem Forever, Alice: Madness Returns and Dungeon Siege III. The GTX 560 was ‘compared’ to the GeForce 9800 GT (the most popular graphics card according to the latest Steam survey ) and, guess what – the yet-unreleased card delivered better performance than a 2008 product. Shocked eh ?

According to the info leaked to date, the (probably $199-priced) GeForce GTX 560 (non-Ti) features 336 CUDA Cores (like the GTX 460), 56 Texture Units, a 256-bit memory interface and 1GB of GDDR5 memory.

Posted: 15 May 2011 07:29 AM PDT

According to Kotaku, the next version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 will land on November 8th 2011, It is said that it will feature huge battles in capital cities around the world including New York, London and Paris according to the site's sources, with a story designed to tie up loose ends left by the previous games.Kotaku seem fairly confident in their information, going on to state just how the game opens and even where the roller coaster is set to reach a climax.

The game opens moments after the cliffhanger ending of Modern Warfare 2 with the U.S. struggling to stave off a surprise Russian attack. The single-player campaign will ping-pong players around the world as they take on the multiple throwaway roles as a Russian Federal Protective Services agent, SAS Operative, tank gunner, and AC-130 gunner as well as key characters from previous installments and new recurring characters. The game will feature about 15 missions, kicking off with the invasion of Manhattan by a Russian force and wrapping up with a final encounter in Dubai.

There has been rumors also MW 3 will use Infinity Ward's same method of breaking the game into smaller, bite-sized chunks that are chock-full of explosions, gun-fire and tension – giving gamers a short break before thrusting them into the action once more.You might remember that Call Of Duty:Black Ops sold over 7 million copies in its first day after release and there is no doubt Modern Warfare 3 will continue the trend of this blockbuster sales.
