Hi Everyone, today we are taking a look at the GTS 450 from the guys at Sparkle Computer Corp. Now for those who don’t know Sparkle has been around since 1982 in Taiwan, making them well known around the globe and for slightly over a year now, they are beginning to leave their mark in the USA. Now what I like about Sparkle is the fact that they can keep their prices low on most their products and they have 2 different lines to choose from.
We've looked at the HIS HD 6970 Turbo, we've also looked at some IceQ variants of the HD 6800 series; but today the power of the IceQ and Turbo series combine to create the HIS HD 6970 IceQ Turbo. The IceQ series is a popular one for HIS and has always represented their best cooler in the HIS line-up. Combined with the Turbo label, the card carries with it also a nice out of the box overclock
Another day and another AMD R9 280X review. Today we’ve got another custom cooled and overclocked graphics card but this time we’ve got a graphics card vendor that we haven’t taken a look at for ages – HIS Digital. This is the first HIS Digital graphics card I’ve ever looked at some I am quite excited to see what it can offer. Despite the fact this is an AMD R9 280X we won’t recap all the monotonous information about the R9 280X GPU that you’ve probably already heard a million times by now, if you want to read more about the R9 280X you can do so here. We want to focus specifically on this HIS card which is the “HIS R9 280X iPower IceQ X² Turbo Boost” – yes quite a mouthful.
Firstly let’s quickly break down that really long name into what it all means. “iPower” is HIS’ way of saying an improved VRM and power delivery system. This graphics card has a 9 phase VRM, versus 8 phases on the reference design, uses DirectFET MOSFETs compared to your bog standard MOSFETs on the reference design and it has a pair of 8 pins instead of the 6+8 pin reference design meaning there is more power to be delivered to the GPU. Secondly, the “IceQ X²” part means this is using HIS’ IceQ X² cooling solution that features a pair of 89mm fans, two 8mm heat pipes and three 6mm heat pipes. That’s all encased in a large aluminium shroud which features the IceQ X² and Turbo branding on it. Thirdly and finally the “Turbo Boost” part is predictably an overclock. AMD’s reference R9 280X comes with a 850MHz core and 1000MHz boost, aka “up to 1GHz” while the HIS version comes with a 1000MHz core clock and 1050MHz boost clock. You can see those clocks below, the core is up 5% on reference and the memory is identical to reference.
We published a rather special article today, just in time for some last-minute holiday shopping. Everybody would of course love to have the latest and greatest of graphics cards, but do you know whether your computer can actually get the most out of a high-end graphics card? If you’re going to spend that much money on a video card, you obviously want to get the performance you expect. And there are other components that can be a performance bottleneck, your processor for example. We set out to find out exactly which AMD and Intel processors are required to squeeze every single available fps from a high-end graphics card. We tested the Radeon HD 7970 and GeForce GTX 680 in combination with 10 different CPUs, ranging from low-end to top-of-the-line.
Earlier today we bought you a review on the NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 680 2GB, and for all our personal issues with NVIDIA, we made it pretty clear that this is an absolutely awesome video card from the green team that offers some serious power.
Since that went live we've been hard at work overclocking the new model to see just how much performance we could get out of it. To do that there's only one program we used, and that's of course MSI Afterburner which has always served us extremely well when it comes to GPU overclocking.
Today we are taking a look at the new VTX3D HD7870 EyeFinity 6 Graphics card which has been designed to support a raft of high resolution monitors for both work and gaming environments. The card ships with a proprietary cooler and six mini DisplayPort connectors, although VTX3D have decided to ship at reference clock speeds.
In der nächsten Zeit kommen augenscheinlich DualChip-Grafikkarten auf Basis (zweier) GeForce GTX 460 Grafikchips in den Handel – hochinteressante Produkte, da diese das Potential haben, soviel Performance wie bei der GeForce GTX 580 zu einem mehr als deutlich niedrigerem Preis zu bieten. Doch auch andere Grafikchips des Performance-Segments eignen sich im Zweierverbund für diese Aufgabenstellung: GeForce GTX 560 Ti, Radeon HD 6850 und Radeon HD 6870 würden ebenfalls sehr gute DualChip-Lösungen abgeben, wie entsprechende Hochrechnungen zu Performance, Stromverbrauch und Preis ergeben.
Seit einigen Wochen ist die Volcanic-Island-Generation von AMD in aller Munde. Die zahlreichen Spekulationen rund um die neuen Grafikkarten nehmen nun ein Ende, denn soeben ist das NDA gefallen. Berichten dürfen wir endlich über die Radeon R9 280X, R9 270X, R7 260X und die beiden Einsteigermodelle R7 250 und R7 240. Neben den Spezifikationen, haben wir euch die Features der neuen Grafikkarten zusammengefasst.
GTX 650 im Test bei PC Games Hardware: Nvidias GK107 kennen wir bereits von der Geforce GT 640 und aus diversen Notebooks. Auf der neuen Geforce GTX 650 bekommt der kleinste Kepler-Chip endlich die Speichertransferrate, die er braucht. Ob das genügt, um AMDs Radeon HD 7770 und HD 7750 das Fürchten zu lehren?
Next month AMD will introduce their latest family of graphics chips, called "Southern Islands," based on a completely new architecture and supporting the new PCI Express 3.0 protocol. The first model to be released will be the most high-end model, the Radeon HD 7970, codename "Tahiti," which will cost USD 550. Let's check its performance.
