New nvidia shield android tv with a powerful geforce gtx 1050

There was already talk of the arrival of a new Nvidia Shield Android TV device and finally we have some of the specifications that it will include, with some surprise in between that will make it a quite powerful option.

Nvidia Shield Android TV arrives with Pascal graphics

The new Nvidia Shield Android TV will be a powerful entertainment device that hides a powerful Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card with Pascal architecture, a card that can put even PS4 and Xbox One consoles in check. Nvidia will also announce a second Smaller Shield TV that will be limited to a Tegra SoC to offer a much more efficient and above all cheaper product. This second would be the ideal to access your entire catalog of games on the GeForce Now platform with laughable power consumption.

The controller also undergoes modifications when receiving Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity and a much more aggressive new design that is reminiscent of the company's latest Founders Edition graphics cards. The controller continues to be based on the design of the Xbox One, although it includes the three traditional quick access buttons for the Android operating system.

With this, the new Nvidia Shield Android TV and its GeForce GTX 1050 offer excellent potential as a video game platform, a pity that the Android operating system will be a very important drag in this sense, without a doubt putting Windows would be a much better option with access to the entire Steam catalog.
