Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 Flex Graphics Card Review - Easy Eyefinity

Graphics Card - Sep 03, 2010 | 06:00 PM

Sapphire is the first card manufacturer to figure out a way to integrate a DisplayPort to HDMI/DVI adapter on the PCB of the card itself. What does that matter? Well it does enable the use of Eyefinity configurations without the need for an expensive active adapter thus lowering cost of entry for budget gamers that want an extra gaming setup. Come see if this card is worth the price!


Palit GeForce GTX 460 1GB Sonic Platinum Review - Rivaling the GTX 470

Graphics Card - Aug 26, 2010 | 05:00 PM

Palit has prepared a highly overclocked GeForce GTX 460 graphics card for us today, their Sonic Platinum edition as they call it. The GPU on this puppy runs at 800 MHz while the shader cores come in at 1600 MHz, right out of the box. How do these overclocks equate in the real-world gaming and can this card rival the more expensive GTX 470 cards?


MSI N480GTX M2D15 GeForce GTX 480 Review

Graphics Card - Aug 04, 2010 | 07:31 PM

With all the GTX 460 news swirling around the industry, I thought I would take a step back and take a different angle at the older, but very powerful, GTX 480 from MSI. Tessellation performance and GPGPU application support are two areas where I focused on, and the results I have found are somewhat telling about the state of tessellation in the graphics industry.


StarCraft II Performance Review - Even your mom can play (UPDATED)

Graphics Card - Aug 02, 2010 | 10:00 PM

The full release of StarCraft II is nearly here and we are getting you prepared by detailing GPU performance across current and previous generation offerings. Will the new game require the likes of the GeForce GTX 480 to run or will your Radeon HD 4850 make it through? UPDATE: New ATI driver enables antialiasing options - fully tested inside!


Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 GC 1GB Review - Can SLI 460s beat the GTX 480?

Graphics Card - Jul 30, 2010 | 03:00 PM

Galaxy has a slightly overclocked GeForce GTX 260 1GB card on the table today that sells for about the same price as the reference speed cards today. Of course, we didn't leave good enough alone and pushed the clocks quite a bit more without a problem. And can dual GTX 460s over take the GTX 480 in terms of performance per dollar?


NVIDIA Quadro 5000 2.5GB Fermi-based Professional Graphics Review

Graphics Card - Jul 27, 2010 | 09:00 AM

The new NVIDIA Quadro 5000 professional graphics card finally brings the Fermi GPU to the world it was originally designed for: content creators. Even though a whole new line of parts is being introduced it is really the 5000 model that will see the brunt of attention with a modest (!!) $2250 price tag. Performance might lag in gaming (clocks and specs are under a GTX 465) but in the world of CAD, design, animation and more the NVIDIA card has the edge over AMD's FirePro line.


Enthusiast Graphics Card Comparison - NVIDIA and AMD head-to-head

Graphics Card - Jul 13, 2010 | 12:00 PM

After publishing our look at the new GeForce GTX 460 we had several requests for an article that quickly compared the relevant NVIDIA and AMD options from top to bottom for the enthusiast PC gamer. I threw together some graphs comparing the $200 cards, $300 cards and $400+ cards from both vendors and added some of our own analysis to help gauge the market as we see it today.


NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 Review - GF104 and the budget Fermi

Graphics Card - Jul 12, 2010 | 12:00 AM

NVIDIA has been attempt to gain ground back from AMD in the enthusiast PC gaming space since the Radeon 5000-series really put them on their heels. The release of the GTX 480/470/465 cards were one step in the right directions and the release of NVIDIA Surround was another. The new GTX 460 introduces the first new GPU redesign with the GF104 and offers top value for your $199. I think a lot of gamers are going to fall for this card!


ASUS ARES Dual HD 5870 Review - The Ultimate Graphics Card

Graphics Card - Jul 07, 2010 | 12:00 PM

The ASUS ARES is one of those things of legend; a card that is worth its weight in gold and actually costs just about as much. If you thought the days of the $1000+ graphics card were over, then you were wrong and ASUS would like you see one of the limited edition ARES cards that matches a pair of true HD 5870s with 4GB of memory to create the fastest single graphics card we have ever tested.


NVIDIA Surround with GeForce GTX 470 Results Update

Graphics Card - Jun 30, 2010 | 12:00 PM

Yesterday we looked at how the GeForce GTX 480s stood up to multi-monitor gaming with NVIDIA Surround and 3D Vision Surround. Today we do the same but with GTX 470s in the mix offering a lower priced option for consumers looking to move into the wild world of triple-monitors!


NVIDIA Surround and 3D Vision Surround Revealed

Graphics Card - Jun 29, 2010 | 08:55 AM

NVIDIA finally has their answer to AMD's Eyefinity technology and it is called NVIDIA Surround. Not only does this bring three monitor gaming to the NVIDIA platform but it also integrates support for 3D Vision so now we can get triple 3D panel action going! It truly is a one-of-a-kind gaming experience but can it best AMD in the 2D realm as well?


NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 SLI Testing - Fermi gets doubled up

Graphics Card - Jun 17, 2010 | 07:00 PM

After way too long of a delay we finally have complete testing and benchmarking comparing a single GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 to the same cards in a dual-GPU SLI configuration. What happens if you take the highest performing GPU available and double up its performance?


Galaxy GeForce GTX 465 1GB Review - NVIDIA lowers Fermi cost of entry

Graphics Card - May 31, 2010 | 03:00 AM

The new GeForce GTX 465 GPU attempts to bring down the cost of Fermi and the GF100 architecture so gamers on tighter budgets can put that new DX11-goodness from NVIDIA in their systems. Does the new GPU stand up to the competition from AMD though? Stop in to find out!!


AMD FirePro V7800 and V4800 Professional Graphics Review

Graphics Card - May 30, 2010 | 09:00 AM

With our review of the V7800 and V4800 FirePro graphics cards from AMD we are basically completing the new Evergreen-based lineup for professional graphics users. The V8800 flagship still dominates but the V7800 is a nice option at about half the price while the V4800 improves performance over the base V3800 for under $200.


Video Perspective: Steam Client and Portal on the Mac

Graphics Card - May 15, 2010 | 02:00 PM

Steam for the Mac is now available in a public beta but should users that already have a Windows Boot Camp partition on their Apple systems be concerned about making the move to the native Mac client? How is image quality and performance affected in the one "standard" title available today, Portal?


NVIDIA Mobile Driver Update - 3D TV for more

Graphics Card - Apr 26, 2010 | 09:00 AM

NVIDIA is updating its Verde driver, the mobile version of its graphics driver that was introduced a year or previously to help consumers that were frequently stuck with much older OEM-based drivers. With this update comes better performance but also support for a larger array of 3D technologies that move beyond NVIDIA's own 3D Vision


AMD FirePro V5800 and V3800 Review - Evergreen completes the sweep

Graphics Card - Apr 26, 2010 | 12:00 AM

Earlier in the month we saw the release of the FirePro V8800 card as it dominated the top-level professional graphics lineup. Can the new V5800 and V3800, with price of $470 and $110 respectively, do the same for the rest of the professional space? Or will NVIDIA's aging Quadro line be able to hold off AMD until Fermi can come to the rescue?


Video Perspective: Watching the Masters with NVIDIA 3D Vision

Graphics Card - Apr 09, 2010 | 10:00 AM

We have been trying out new 3D coverage of the 2010 Masters golf tournament here in the office and wanted to share with our readers quick thoughts and how they can go about watching the sample 3D content if they already have a 3D Vision-ready configuration. You will need a really fast internet connection to get the 10 Mbit stream working but when it does, it impresses.


AMD FirePro V8800 Review - Evergreen and Cypress Go Pro

Graphics Card - Apr 07, 2010 | 12:00 AM

Graphics Card - Apr 02, 2010 | 03:00 PM

At a recent AMD professional graphics meeting there were some very interesting applications of Eyefinity technology that I know our readers are going to be interested in seeing. One from Scalable uses four projectors on a curved piece of plexiglass while another from Ostendo uses 2880x900 resolution curved monitors. Enjoy!


AMD Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition Review: 6 monitor gaming!

Graphics Card - Mar 31, 2010 | 12:00 AM

Today we are finally getting that card - the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition! Stop and see how the 2GB card performs in testing and what we thought of the gaming experience it offered!


NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 Review - GF100 and Fermi tackle gaming

Graphics Card - Mar 26, 2010 | 07:00 PM

We have been waiting for this day basically since GT200 was revealed: NVIDIA's next-generation GPU architecture. While AMD has been releasing card and card with DX11 support and Eyefinity gaming, NVIDIA has been forced to sit idly by and await its own hardware. The GF100 GPU is finally here as the GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 graphics cards and they are surprisingly potent solutions for gamers!


AMD's Gamers' Manifesto: Gaming Evolved

Graphics Card - Mar 16, 2010 | 12:00 AM

AMD recently spent some time with us telling the story of how its game developer program works; what it does, what it doesn't do and how AMD plans on using its team and technologies to further the PC gaming community. But does the story add up? Can AMD convince gamers that with open physics, open 3D and Eyefinity they are the better player than NVIDIA?


MSI R5770 HAWK Radeon HD 5770 Video Card Review

Graphics Card - Mar 05, 2010 | 11:37 AM

Now that AMD has stopped producing the HD 4870 and HD 4890 chips, the HD 5770 is quickly taking over the $149 to $199 marketplace. MSI decided to shake things up a bit in a market overflowing with reference designs from multiple manufacturers. The R5770 is a fully custom part with some unique features that set it above the rest. Stable 1 GHz+ operation is not a fantasy with this card...

Graphics Card - Feb 25, 2010 | 12:00 AM

The new AMD Radeon HD 5830 continues to add to the company's collection of DX11-ready graphics card hardware while we continue to wait and see what NVIDIA's answer will offer consumers. The HD 5830 rests between the HD 5850 and the HD 5770 in terms of price and performance, but is it a better option than either? Also, we have some extra details on the upcoming HD 5870 Eyefinity Edition with 6 DisplayPort outputs!


ASUS EAH5750 Formula Radeon HD 5750 Video Card Review

Graphics Card - Feb 24, 2010 | 01:00 PM

AMD gave the midrange market a thorough refresh with their HD 5600 and 5700 series of cards. Asus is attempting to capitalize on this new technology shift by introducing a somewhat unique and interesting product based on the HD 5750 graphics processor. Is the card as zippy as the psuedo-Formula 1 fan shroud promises it to be?


MSI Big Bang Fuzion Motherboard and Lucid HYDRA Performance Review

Graphics Card - Feb 20, 2010 | 05:00 PM

The MSI Big Bang Fuzion motherboard combines a lot of features into a single motherboard including support for Intel's Lynnfield and Clarkdale processors and a lot of headroom and options for overclocking. Of course the stand out feature of the board is support for Lucid's HYDRA multi-GPU technology but can it possibly live up to the hype that has been building for years?
