Toshiba announced two new versions of its Qosmio X305 gaming laptop that incorporate three GPUs: two Nvidia GeForce 9800M GTS cards in a scalable link interface and one integrated GeForce 9400M.
Nvidia is calling the new triple-card solution “Hybrid SLI.” Like other laptops with hybrid graphics, the Qosmio X305 can switch from discrete to integrated graphics, with the former offering better gaming performance and the latter offering better power efficiency for lower-level Windows tasks.
The ultimate portable gaming machine with massive graphics memory, storage, processing power has a new eye–popping design and features:
- Harman/kardon® Stereo
Speakers with Sub-Woofer
Not two but four high-fidelity stereo speakers—and one very powerful sub-woofer—envelop you in sound and put you right in the middle of the action. Get rocked by explosions. Shrink from shattering glass. And feel stirring soundtracks swirl all around you. - Advanced Connectivity
S/P DIF and REGZA Link HDMI ports on the Qosmio X305 laptop PC let you tap into a home theater system to kick your gaming up to the next level?and run the show using a single remote control. - Go at Gaming with Both Barrels.
The combination of two NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800M GTS SLI® graphics cards, with 1GB DDR3 discrete graphics memory, multiplies your gaming performance. Enjoy unbelievably realistic textures, lighting and more, along with faster frame rates and near-split second response time on even the most demanding Direct X 10 games and applications. - Intel® Extreme Processor
