Sapphire Radeon HD 4650 512MB
The Tech Lounge :: Friday, June 26, 2009
"I was a little noncommittal in recommending the 4670 and I suspect that I’m pretty much in the same boat with regards to the 4650. On the one hand, these are inexpensive cards with impressive performance for the price, but on the other hand, for very little extra, much more capable cards can be had. But let’s say, for example, you had sixty bucks and only wanted to play WoW or the Orange Box. Will this card do it?"

BenQ GP1 reviewed
IT Reviewed :: Wednesday, June 24, 2009
“BenQ’s GP1 is a joy to use. It is compact and light, and setting it up takes only a few seconds using either the on-board controls or the supplied remote control. Designed for the home - the GP1’s brightness levels just aren’t good enough for presenting in the daytime - the projector displays a crisp image that contradicts its compact dimensions. It even comes with its own carrying case and a 2GB USB flash drive. And with a 20,000-hour rated lamp life it’s easier on the pocket compared to a regular projector. At 60W power consumption, the same amount of power in a well-lit room, the projector is also easy on your electricity bill. If you’re after a tiny projector that’s well equipped and performs suitably without breaking the bank, the GP1 is a good choice.”

ASUS EN9600GT 512 meg
Bjorn 3d :: Wednesday, June 24, 2009
As an ATI user myself, I can not dismiss the fact that one of the most versatile computer components that is out today, is a Nvidia 9600GT based video card. Reason for me saying this, well it is cheap enough for just about any one on any budget for light to moderate gaming, can be used in a HTPC for Blue Ray play back, and finally can be used as a dedicated Physx card for those who wanting or needing that extra little bit in our Ageia Physx based games.

OCaholic :: Monday, June 08, 2009
With the GeForce GTX 275 AMP! Zotac presents a graphic card which
is based on nVidias GT200 graphic chip. Zotac overworked the GTX 275s
power design. Therefore the card is now provided with a seven phase
power design. This is what allows Zotac to clock the GPU up to 702 MHz
instead of 633 MHz wich is the standard clock. Also the memory is
overclocked to 1260 MHz instead of 1130 MHz.

MSI GeForce GTX 295 Graphics Card
Tweak Town :: Monday, June 08, 2009
"Since the launch of the GTX 295 ATI has done little to combat the card and while the HD 4890 is a very good card, the price of it doesn't put it anywhere near the level that the GTX 295 is at, nor the GTX 285 for that matter.
It's been a while since we've had a look at the GTX 295 and there's been a few driver updates since then. Today we'll be seeing how it performs against some of the top single GPU cards from both NVIDIA and ATI including the HD 4890 and GTX 285."

Logitech G35 Gaming Headset reviewed
IT Reviewed :: Monday, June 08, 2009
“For gamers looking to be totally immersed in their game, the G35 contains just the right mix of performance and features. The headset is easy to use and the magic of 7.1 surround sound with a top notch noise cancelling microphone creates an aural experience most gamers will only have dreamed of. Besides the price, which is probably too rich for most, the only criticisms are that there is no standard 3.5mm plug (you’re tied to USB) and 370g is probably a touch too heavy for longer gaming sessions. The headset doesn’t do a great job of containing sounds either, so if you’re playing in your living room you can expect a tap on the shoulder to turn it down. Besides these niggles, this is the headset of choice for hardcore gamers. As long as you don’t expect audio quality to be as good as a high-end pair of headphones, nor use the headset a replacement to a proper surround sound system, you won’t be disappointed.”

NVIDIA History of Graphics - 1994 to Present
Tweak Town :: Monday, June 08, 2009
"Computex Taipei 2009: During NVIDIA's Tegra press conference in Taipei last week during Computex, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang gave what I thought was a pretty interesting summary of the history of PC graphics from 1994 to present.
Check out the video - it is rather quite inspiring for anyone involved in the tech industry. The final demo in the video is rendered in real-time, it is not a pre-recorded video - that is what is important to remember. We certainly have came a long way."

ASUS Matrix 285 GTX comes completely loaded
Tweak Town :: Monday, June 08, 2009
"Computex Taipei 2009: One of our most popular stories of Computex this year was the ASUS demo of the two GeForce GTX 295 4GB cards in SLI running Far Cry at an incredibly 2160p resolution.
Next to this demo at the ASUS booth out at Nangang, also being displayed was the ASUS Matrix GeForce 285 GTX graphics card and it really impressed us. It comes with three brand new features including the ability to burn your overclocked GPU core clock and memory settings into the BIOS. If it fails, there is a handy BIOS reset button on the back of the card which will bring the card back to default speeds if something goes bad. Cool!"

Hot Hardware :: Monday, June 08, 2009
We're writing to let you all know that we have just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we evaluate the Diamond Radeon HD 4870 X2 XOC.

The reference GPU clock speed for the 4870 X2 is 750 MHz, and the reference memory speed is 900 MHz. Diamond, however, boosted the XOC's clocks to 800 MHz and 950 MHz, respectively, making this one of the fastest 4870 X2 cards on the market. Head on over to the site and check it out...

ASUS EN9600GT DI/512MD3/A Geforce 9600GT Rev.B Videocard Review
PC Stats :: Wednesday, June 03, 2009
"The ASUS EN9600GT DI/512MD3/A videocard has a core clockspeed of 600MHz, a 1500Mhz shader clock and 512MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 900MHz. An HDMI output on the videocard makes it ideal for home theatre PC use, the absence of a power connector good for users with older PCs seeking newer PCI Express 2.0 x16 gaming goodness. "

ASUS Mars GTX 295 SLI with 8GB RAM + Far Cry 2160p
Tweak Town :: Wednesday, June 03, 2009
"Computex Taipei 2009: When you visit a company at a trade show like Computex, there is always one truly standout product for us and for ASUS this year out in Nangang it was its Mars GTX 295 demo.
What’s special about the ASUS Mars GTX 295? Well for starters each is a limited edition and labeled as such and each comes with a massive 4GB of onboard video memory. Double them up in SLI and of course you have 8GB of video memory which is much more than the average user has of actual system memory."
