Nvidia Optimus is a computer GPU switching technology created by Nvidia which, depending on the resource load generated by client software applications, will seamlessly switch between two graphics adapters within a computer system in order to provide either maximum performance or minimum power draw from the system's graphics rendering hardware.
A classic motherboard with on-board integrated graphics processors, a discrete graphics card can be installed at a PCI slot. GPU switching is a mechanism used on computers with multiple graphic controllers. This mechanism allows the user to either maximize the graphic performance or prolong battery life by switching between the graphic cards.
Core config – The layout of the graphics pipeline, in terms of functional units. Over time the number, type, and variety of functional units in the GPU core has changed significantly; before each section in the list there is an explanation as to what functional units are present in each generation of processors.
The GeForce4 Ti (NV25) was launched in February 2002 [1] and was a revision of the GeForce 3 (NV20). It was very similar to its predecessor; the main differences were higher core and memory clock rates, a revised memory controller (known as Lightspeed Memory Architecture II/LMA II), updated pixel shaders with new instructions for Direct3D 8.0a support, [2] [3] an additional vertex shader (the ...
The GeForce 400 series is a series of graphics processing units developed by Nvidia, serving as the introduction of the Fermi microarchitecture.Its release was originally slated in November 2009, [2] however, after delays, it was released on March 26, 2010, with availability following in April 2010.

Almost half of Nvidia's $30 billion revenue in the second quarter came from four customers. A tech analyst said this concentration of revenue was "highly unusual" for a mega-cap company.
For certain GPU models, Nvidia and AMD video card drivers attempt to detect the GPU is being accessed by a virtual machine and disable some or all GPU features. [35] NVIDIA has recently changed virtualization rules for consumer GPUs by disabling the check in GeForce Game Ready driver 465.xx and later. [36]
