Chipmaker Nvidia has reported what it deems as "record" sales for the three months sales period between November and January, due to a spike in demand for its new Maxwell graphics cards.

The corporation's revenue for the quarter was put at $1.25 billion, up by 9 percent from the same period last year, due in part by the availability of second-generation GeForce GPUs such as the GTX 980.

Nvidia says money from its GeForce GPUs climbed by 38 percent, pushing profits up by a third to reach $193 million. For the full year, total revenue climbed to $4.7 billion and net profits hit $630 million.

GI Online play is important enough that Xbox Live and PSN crashes now make it to the desks of broadcast news networks, not just enthusiast publications. Online features and services are a major draw, not far-fetched concepts. Hundreds of millions of people play games across the various different platforms for them, and gaming is more global than it has ever been.

Players wont be able to download the newest big releases from a marketplace that is rapidly trending in the direction of digital distribution.
