The Nvidia Shield, with an eight-inch high-definition display, "was built specifically for gamers," according to the California company.
The $299 gadget has an optional $40 cover that can be used as a kickstand. A wireless controller can be added for a further $60.
"If you're a gamer and you use a tablet, the Nvidia Shield is specifically for you," said Jen-Hsun Huang, Nvidia's Co-founder and Chief Executive.
"It delivers exceptional tablet performance and excellent gaming capabilities to keep even the most avid gamers deeply immersed, anywhere they play," he claimed
The company launched a portable gaming device with a smaller screen and integrated controller last year.
The new device allows for streaming of games from a desktop or notebook computer, or from the Nvidia cloud.
It is based on the Android operating system to allow for Web browsing and other tablet features and has a stylus for drawing on the tablet surface.
