Nvidia Is Ready With An All-New Android/PC Gaming Console

It will also utilize Nvidia’s PC graphics cards for additional processing for PC games.

 

Nvidia is extremely busy and BBC reports that the chipmaker is readying an all-new console system that will allow you to play Android as well as PC games, while utilizing the power of its latest incarnation, the Tegra K1 processor.

The company clearly failed when it came to its Shield portable Android gaming console, all thanks to the price, that has not stopped Nvidia from thinking bigger. Nvidia’s upcoming console will work natively, while playing Android titles all thanks to its beefy Tegra K1 that sports 192 GPU cores.

But playing PC games is where the innovation lies. The device will apparently sync with your desktop’s Nvidia graphics card (it will be the latest ones only) and push the graphics processing through that. So in short it wont be the Tegra K1 doing all the heavy work, but the card on your PC via the Nvidia GeForce Experience system. Adding to this it will also included will be a unique controller, according to the people who have used the upcoming system.

If you think that such a product is going to be a failure, apparently that is not a problem for Nvidia; as the company looks at this product as more of an experiment.

While Sony has always been struggling with its PlayStation Vita console, Android and iOS have clearly been the only successful platforms for mobile gaming so far. Smartphones and then tablets have become the best platform for mobile entertainment including mobile gaming with battery life being its only enemy.
