A new era is dawning for NVIDIA as it plans on releasing the powerful GeForce GTX Battlebox PCs. There are also reports relaying that the tech firm is now accepting AMD's Ryzen chips as well.
PC Games reports that NVIDIA have just launched the new UK base specs for their next generation of GeForce GTX Battlebox PCs and they're no longer just giving their seal of gaming approval to Intel CPUs, they've got AMD's Ryzen chips in mind too.
The basic idea behind Nvidia's original Battlebox promotion was to work with system builders to create an Nvidia-supported spec for machines built around their graphics cards and if a gaming rig's got the Battlebox badge then it's a GeForce-approved spec, or at least that's the thinking, as noted by the same post.
On a different note, Tech Radar shared that the new GeForce GTX Battlebox PCs run with Nvidia's latest Pascal-based graphics cards and come in two flavors: Essential and Ultimate and the former is the lower-end variant aimed at hitting 60 frames per second in Full HD (1080p) resolution in common competitive games such as "Overwatch."
Based on the same report, as for the minimum spec, the GeForce GTX Battlebox Essential PC runs with the following as a baseline: Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor, with a GeForce GTX 1060 (with 6GB of video RAM), 8GB of system RAM, and an SSD for storage.
NVIDIA's GeForce GTX Battlebox Ultimate heighten things up in a notch with its new specs and features. The revamped gear will surely set a fresh gaming experience for the players. As for the rumors being linked to NVIDIA, everything should be taken with a grain of salt in mind.
