The Shield TV has two HDMI signals, but it will go out on top of the DisplayPort 1.4 slot for all other HDMI inputs. The Shield TV is powered by an Intel Core i7-3770U with 32 GB of RAM, 2 GB of storage, 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and USB 3.0.

It also comes with Nvidia's GeForce RTX graphics card, which is Nvidia's top-selling graphics card. You'll get 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, 1TB of eMMC 2.0 SSD storage, 2 x USB 3.0 ports with 1 USB 2.0 connector, and a microSD card slot.

In the other room at the front is the Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 desktop PC. This is an Intel Core i5-2500K with NVIDIA's GeForce 310K graphics card in the chassis. It sports a 2,200 mAh battery and comes with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 980, dual GPU 1.2GHz APU, and 3GB of RAM.

The GTS 450 has Nvidia's newest GeForce GTX 980 Ti (1.7GHz) and Nvidia's GTX TITAN CrossFireX GPUs, and the GTS 450 is an Intel Core M and Core i5-4600K, with a 256-bit GDDR5 memory and 2GB of RAM. It comes with a GeForce GTX 780Ti, which is a 6Gbps, GDDR5 memory bus with 1GB of ram, which will give you up to 15,000 mAh of power on the GPU.

There's also a dual-zone RGB display. You can play on the left by default, but there should be some support for 3D glasses by default, so use either of the G-Sync options if you're on the set. It's also possible to play games by using the built-in Chromecast, which is a Chromecast-style remote that can be controlled by pressing the home button on the front of the device. If you use a Chromecast, use the built-in Twitch Assistant, which has built-in support for a variety of streaming services like Twitch and Hulu.

At the top of the list is a GeForce RTX graphics card. The card will start at $150, which is a huge deal given how much Nvidia's GPU cost over a couple of years to build. That's a good deal for the $140 price tag, but the GeForce GTX 780 Ti will have around $110 less.
