Adding to their existing mobile D3D10 line-up, NVIDIA are launching GeForce 8700M GT today to sit alongside 8600M and 8400M-series products already launched.

No details exist yet on the GPU (it's likely G84, but hang on to your hats there just in case) and configuration used to create 8700M GT, but we're pretty sure it will use 256MiB of memory at a minimum. NVIDIA's press release makes mention of all the feature goodies, like HD-DVD and Blu-Ray video playback acceleration via VP2, hot D3D10 performance, Vista support and even winning performance in Crysis.

More details on the chip and config when we get it.

Update: Tech Report are reporting that it's G84 at 625MHz base clock, 1250MHz hot clock, with 800MHz memory and a max of 512MiB of the stuff.
