NVIDIA Corporation introduced the GeForce(R) GTX(TM) 780 GPU, the latest evolution in elite-class GPUs, which delivers jaw-dropping performance and silky smooth visuals for the next generation of PC gaming titles -- including Call of Duty: Ghosts, Watch Dogs and Battlefield 4. In addition, NVIDIA has released to production the NVIDIA GeForce Experience(TM) software, which delivers to GeForce gamers the industry's best gaming drivers, advanced features and optimal playable settings (OPS) with the convenience of single click operation. Designed for gaming enthusiasts, the GeForce GTX 780 boasts a massively powerful Kepler GPU with 2,304 cores and 3GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory -- each 50% more than its predecessor. The GeForce GTX 780 supports NVIDIA's latest array of gaming technologies, including PhysX(R) and NVIDIA TXAA(TM), while the newest GeForce drivers reduce frame time variations to provide smoother frame delivery and a richer overall experience. And for those gamers who demand the very best, NVIDIA SLI(R) technology -- the industry's preeminent multi-GPU solution -- scales to deliver even higher levels of performance. Available exclusively to GeForce gamers, the beta version of NVIDIA GeForce Experience software has been used by more than 1.5 million people since the beginning of the year. Now released to production, GeForce Experience is the perfect complement to the GeForce GTX 780's raw horsepower. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 GPU is available now from the world's leading add-in card suppliers, including ASUS, Colorful, EVGA, Gainward, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Innovision 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY and Zotac. Partner participation will vary by region. Pricing is expected to start at $649.

NVIDIA Corporation announced that it is unleashing the full graphics potential of enterprise desktop virtualization with the availability of NVIDIA GRID(TM) vGPU(TM) integrated into Citrix XenDesktop 7. NVIDIA GRID vGPU technology addresses a challenge that has grown in recent years with the rise of employees using their own notebooks and portable devices for work. These workers have increasingly relied on desktop virtualization technologies for anytime access to computing resources, but until now this was generally used for the more standard enterprise applications. Performance and compatibility constraints had made it difficult for applications such as building information management (BIM), product-lifecycle management (PLM) and video-photo editing. With the introduction of new HDX GPU sharing and deep compression techniques in XenDesktop 7, NVIDIA and Citrix customers can immediately take advantage of the hosted-shared form of desktop virtualization to deliver rich, graphics-intensive applications. Using the Microsoft Windows Server RDSH and XenDesktop 7 platform can enable the sharing of GPUs across multiple user sessions. Furthermore, the combination of Citrix XenServer and NVIDIA GRID vGPU technology allows customers to efficiently share GPUs across multiple virtual machines. This allows businesses to address a broader set of users with their desktop virtualization infrastructure across a spectrum of verticals, including: Architects, engineers and contractors using computer-aided design (CAD) tools, like Autodesk BIM. Manufacturing businesses that want to automate the connection between product design and operations using PLM tools, like Enovia 3DLive, PTC Windchill PLM Connector and SIEMENS Teamcenter software. Digital-content creation workers using video and photo editing tools, like Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) software. Health-care specialists using picture archiving and communication system (PACS) applications, like GE Centricity EMR.

NVIDIA provided capex guidance for 2013. The company said it would spend $1.6 billion, non-GAAP this year.
