INNO3D GEFORCE 9800 GTX+ REVIEW

INNO3D GEFORCE 9800 GTX+ REVIEW AT ULTIMATE HARDWARE - "Inno3D GeForce 9800 GTX+ review compared to the Gainward Radeon HD 4850. The Inno3D GeForce 9800 GTX+ has 16% higher clock speed and 10% higher memory speed than the Gainward Radeon HD 4850. The Gainward Radeon HD 4850 however has over six times the pixel shading advantage with 800 Pixel Shaders."

GAINWARD RADEON HD 4870

GAINWARD RADEON HD 4870 REVIEW AT ULTIMATE HARDWARE - "Gainward Radeon HD 4870 review which we are comparing to the Gainward Radeon HD 4850. The Gainward Radeon HD 4870 is a pixel shading monster boasting 800 Shaders for amazing gaming performance. The Gainward Radeon HD 4870 also features advanced GDDR5 memory which is 45% faster than the Gainward Radeon HD 4850!"

GAINWARD RADEON HD 4850

GAINWARD RADEON HD 4850 REVIEW AT ULTIMATE HARDWARE - "Gainward Radeon HD 4850 review which features the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870. The Gainward Radeon HD 4850 is a pixel shading powerhouse boasting 800 Unified Shaders compared to 320 with the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 which means that the Gainward Radeon HD 4850 has 60% more shading power."

MSI RADEON HD 4830 OC AT PC STATS - "MSI have overclocked the AMD Radeon HD 4830 GPU (code named 'RV770LE') an anemic 10MHz beyond that of standard Radeon HD 4830 graphics card, yielding a core clock speed of 585MHz rather than the standard 575MHz. The R4830's 512MB of GDDR3 memory is clocked at the default speed of 1800MHz. Not very exciting out of the box as far as pre-overclocked videocards go... this is true."

DIAMOND RADEON HD 4870 1GB AT LEGIT REVIEWS - "Today we are taking look at one of the best cards that we have come across for gaming performance, the Diamond 4870 1GB. We have covered the 4870 512MB version of this card and saw that it was a stellar performer and was a great step in the right direction for ATI/AMD. The only problem with a 4870 512MB is that at higher resolutions and with the eye candy cranked up, the smallish frame buffer starts to limit what the card can do and quickly succumbs to its competition, the GeForce GTX 260 series. In order to compete at higher resolutions and eye candy levels, Diamond has outfitted a run of the mill 4870 with an additional 512MB to bring the total to 1GB of video memory! This makes the 4870 1GB the only relevant card outside of the GeForce GTX 280 that has a full 1GB frame buffer dedicated to a GPU."

IKONIK ZARIA A20 CASE AT TECHWARELABS - "A relative newcomer to the PC case industry Ikonik is entering with some really nice designs and forward thinking designs. Mike Santini takes a look at the Zaria A20 and shows you its positive points as well as some of the drawbacks to its design and layout. Is the Zaria meant for you? Read our review to fid out if its your perfect case."

XFX GEFORCE GTX 260 BLACK EDITION AT ELITE BS - "It's just such a part that we take a look at today, in the form of XFX's GeForce GTX 260 Black Edition. While our first foray into Black Edition territory, the GeForce 9800 GTX+ Black Edition, didn't quite set our pulses racing as we've been used to with XFX offerings in the past, today's review promises a more adrenaline fuelled high-end gaming experience - So, join us as we take the GeForce GTX 260 Black Edition for a spin to see how it all pans out."

AMD ATHLON X2 7750 AT AMDZONE - "Most of the news out of AMD lately has been out of ATI with their video cards lately and most new attention is focused on Phenom II which should be coming out very soon from AMD. But AMD is also launching a new CPU series codenamed Kuma. This is a Stars core with a 2MB L3 cache and the Hypertransport bus runs at 1.8Ghz instead of 1GHz of most dual cores. We don't have a lot more technical information on the processor at this time but we'll update this review when we get more. For now here's what you probably care about: benchmarks and overclocking."

TAGAN DIABLO ADVANCE PC CASE AT TECHWARELABS - "Tagan is perhaps best known for their line of power supplies, which combine high-performance specs with a flashy, LED-laden presentation that certainly catches the eye. Expanding on this theme, Tagan has come out with a number of cases that combine various levels of flash with generally solid design. Today, we will be taking a look at Tagan's most recent addition to their enthusiast case line, the El Diablo Advance. After we put this case through its paces, you can decide for yourself if the devil you know is better than the devil you don't."

MSI RADEON HD 4830 REVIEW AT NEOSEEKER - "Some real monsters came out, like the 9800 GX2, and some real fast, inexpensive cards came out as well; such as today's ATI HD 4830. This HD 4830 has been put together by MSI: overclocked and improved from the reference design, for just over a $100 USD, the MSI R4830 has a great deal of bang-for-buck potential. Today we'll check it out."

NEW ATI CATALYST v8.12 DRIVERS AT AMD - "Performance increases - 5% with 3dmark Vantage DX10, 21% with Call of Duty, 25% with Crysis DX10, 13% with Crysis Warhead DX10, 6% with Devil May Cry DX10, 15% with Fallout 3, 10% with Far Cry 2 DX10 and 6% with Hellgate - London DX10."

MSI RADEON HD 4670 REVIEW AT OCC - "At first glance the 4670s specifications may seem very similar to the more expensive 4850 and 4830 cards. What makes the card cheaper than its bigger brothers are a narrow memory interface and a reduced shader count. Specifically, the 4670 has a 128-bit memory interface and 320 shaders while the 4830 has a 256-bit memory interface and 640 shaders. Looking from an economic standpoint the HD 4670 is in direct competition with nVidias 9600GT and ATI's HD 3850."

POINT OF VIEW GEFORCE GTX 260 REVIEW AT HEXUS - "Point of View sent us its GeForce GTX 260 Premium Edition (216-core) and we put it up against some ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB lovin'."

HIS RADEON HD 4650 ISILENCE4 REVIEW AT BJORN3D - "One of their popular line of cards has been the cards using the various IceQ-coolers from Artic Cooling. While the IceQ-coolers are really silent even when the cards are running at maximum performance, they still emit a bit of sound, enough to annoy those who want a totally silent system. The solution, of course, is to make the card passive cooled, and HIS also offers a few passively cooled cards where they have partnered up with Zalman and put a Zalman VNF100 on the cards to cool them passively. So far they have only done this to an HD2600XT card and an HD3650 card and it is therefore no surprise that they have chosen an HD4650 GPU from this generation. The card is called the HIS HD 4650 iSilence 4 512MB and we have been taking the card for an extended spin in our testing lab to see how good is."

SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 4830 REVIEW AT BJORN3D - "The HD 4830 is basically a cut down version of Sapphire's HD 4850, and by doing so, Sapphire is able to offer it at a much lower price point while offering pretty close to the same overall performance, or so that's what Sapphire is saying anyways. We'll find out just how well (or bad) the card does soon enough."

ASUS GEFORCE 9800 GT HYBRIDPOWER REVIEW AT MOTHERBOARD.ORG - "While the GeForce 9800GT is basically a rebranded GeForce 8800GT, with higher clock speeds the 9800GTX is an 8800GTX with HybridPower. The 9800GT retails in stores online for the reasonable price of $110 online with the 9800GTX+ being online for about $169. The price difference is large enough to call them two different price ranges. ASUS manufactures computer equipment like motherboards and video cards so naturally, they have a 9800GT card. Today's review is on the ASUS EN9800GT HybridPower video card."

NINTENDO DS LITE ICE BLUE REVIEW AT HARDWARE SECRETS - "The first Nintendo DS broke out of the constraints of the gaming world by introducing a handheld gaming device with not one, but two screens. It also had wireless connectivity for game play and game control by voice and touch. These winning features have produced a gaming device with a big following. Over 84 million DS devices and 454 million DS games have been sold worldwide in just four years. Today we reviewed one of its latest versions: the DS Lite Ice Blue. The original silver Nintendo DS which debuted in 2004, was replaced in 2006 by a slightly smaller version with a brighter screen. It was called the Nintendo DS Lite and it came in several colors. This year Nintendo introduced two new colors, each with its own package of goodies."

AMD SHANGHAI 45NM OPTERONS AT TECH REPORT - "With higher clock speeds, lower power consumption, more cache, and a multitude of tweaks, the "Shanghai" Opterons aim to restore AMD's competitiveness in the server and workstation worlds."

NEW 3DFX SFFT 1.5 DRIVER FOR VOODOO 3/4/5 AT 3DFX ZONE - "This software is based on Unified Architecture supporting by one package all Voodoo3 family, including Voodoo3 2000, Voodoo3 3000 and Voodoo3 3500 cards, as well as all 3dfx VSA-100 products and so Voodoo4 4500, Voodoo5 5500 and Voodoo5 6000 cards."
