Named the official graphics card providers of the CPL, NVIDIA and PNY will outfit all of the PC's used in competition with PNY Verto(R) graphics cards powered by NVIDIA(R) GeForce(TM) GPUs, and serve as lead sponsors of the $30,000 Unreal Tournament 2003 (UT2K3) Championship. NVIDIA also plans to host the first public demonstration of the new GeForce(TM) FX, the highly anticipated new GPU slated for availability in early 2003. Moreover, two lucky players will be rewarded a PNY Verto GeForce FX graphics card, while other gamers will have several chances to win various PNY Verto GeForce4 graphic cards throughout the competition.
"The CPL hosts intense competition between the best gamers in the world. It's only natural they would want to arm their gaming rigs with the world's best hardware," said Bill Rehbock, director of developer relations at NVIDIA. "GeForce GPUs are hands-down the best GPUs for experiencing today's hottest PC games the way they're meant to be played. We're thrilled to be a part of the all-out fragfest that is the CPL."
While the three-day competition is waging, NVIDIA will also be hosting public previews of its GeForce FX GPUs, the fastest, most advanced GPU on the planet and the industry's first GPU to enable real-time, cinematic-quality graphics and special effects on desktop PCs.
"NVIDIA and PNY Technologies are both unrivaled leaders in the graphics market for interactive entertainment; the CPL is indeed the perfect environment to showcase their latest products," said Angel Munoz, founder and president of the CPL. "The possibility of hosting the first public demonstration of the new GeForce FX is an honor for the CPL; and will offer hundreds of hardcore gamers from around the world, the first opportunity to experience this new level of cinematic realism for PC games."
"Professional gamers want the best of the best for a competition of this caliber," said Nancy Larson, manager, marketing communications for PNY. "PNY's Verto GeForce graphics cards deliver the latest and greatest top-to-bottom hardware for every experience level and every PC. The CPL is an event where we can engage players with the most advanced graphics hardware available today, where they can compete to the best of their ability at the most intense gaming event of their lives."
