As enthusiasts, we're always interested in the latest monster video cards: the expensive, high-end products that blast through benchmarks and play all your games with buttery-smooth frame rates at the highest resolutions with all the settings maxed out- and sucking a not inconsiderable amount of electricity while doing so! But these products represent only a tiny fraction of the number of video cards sold; the low-to-mid-end cards comprise the bulk of the market. Besides, a GTX285 or Radeon 5870 isn't the ideal solution for every situation: considerations from a limited budget to building a small, quiet system come into play. NVIDIA has been filling out the low-middle end of their video card product line lately, and in this article Benchmark Reviews tests the ASUS ENGT240/DI/512MD5/A video card equipped with with NVIDIA's new GeForce GT240 GPU and 512M of GDDR5 memory.
Although we have already reviewed GeForce GTX 590, we haven't yet had a chance to test it in SLI mode. Well, that's what we'll do today. We shall also take a look at factory overclocked GTX 550 Ti and GTX 560 from the same company.
3DMark 11 fired up and froze straight away. All of a sudden I found myself with something that was going to become real boring, real quickly. Of course it then clicked that just because we don't have a CrossFire connector it doesn't mean CrossFire can't be used.
Looking at the AMD website for the HD 7750 you'll find that CrossFire is of course supported on the model and I figured why not pair it up with our HIS HD 7750 we looked at and see what kind of performance we can get. It would be interesting to see what would go down with CrossFire scaling on this lower end model which carried with it no CrossFire bridge.
der neue Shooter der 4A Games Studios, Metro Last Light, sieht dank aufwendiger DirectX-11-Optik herausragend gut aus und bringt bei allen zugeschalteten Details einen großen Hardware-Hunger mit. Dennoch läuft das Spiel auch mit älteren Grafikkarten rund, wenn man die richtigen Schalter betätigt. Unser Test klärt Sie auf.
We see how the lower end options from NVIDIA look with the new MSI GTX 650 1GB Power Edition.
Today we have something special up for review, the latest VTX3D HD7870 Black which is based on a ‘new revision’ of the popular HD7870 graphics card. Selected partners will be releasing new versions of the HD7870 (Tahiti ‘LE’) with more horsepower under the hood. This isn’t just a simple clock boost however …..
Am Anfang einer Grafikkartenserie stehen zum einen die Karte selbst und dann natürlich der dazugehörige Kühler, stets in der Referenz gehalten und meist gerade ausreichend für den Alltag. Doch viele PC-Nutzer sind längst weit über den so genannten Alltag hinaus, besonders im Bereich Gaming ist es daher von höchster Not, dass die Ingenieure der Hersteller hinter der Bühne das Kühlerdesign weiterentwickeln. Hier muss eine Grafikkarte meist mehrere Stunden am Stück Höchstarbeit leisten was sich durch den Referenzkühler meist in beachtlich hohen Temperaturen oder einer entsprechenden Lautstärke widerspiegelt.
Most gamers today still overwhelmingly game on single monitor systems, whether that be at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (FHD) or 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) – the two most popular “high end” gaming resolutions. Of course gamers using 1080p displays are still the most common but both 5760 x 1080 and 2560 x 1440 are gaining more traction with gamers as “only” 1080p starts to become dated (and is often put to shame but high resolution tablets and ultrabooks). 2560 x 1440 is growing in popularity a lot thanks to the affordability of the South Korean WQHD panels and the fact 1440p panels use the same aspect ratio (16:9) as 1080p panels, so are a “direct” upgrade. It just makes sense that most gamers will choose 1440p panels as their next upgrades instead of WXQHD (2560 x 1600) displays which never really took off, just like its predecessor WUXGA (1920 x 1200) didn’t, maybe due to the less popular 16:10 aspect ratio. What relevance does this have to today’s review you may be thinking? Well today we have a GPU that aims to hit the sweet spot of performance and pricing for 2560 x 1440 and 5760 x 1080 gaming resolutions. We’ve managed to get Club3D’s R9 280X royalKing 3GB graphics card in for review. Club 3D’s R9 280X royalKing is based on AMD’s $299 3GB R9 280X GPU, which is essentially a rebranded HD 7970. Offering a hefty amount of GPU horsepower and 3GB of frame buffer it is designed for “more-than-1080p” gaming.
Just as soon as I thought all of the video card introductions from the Nvidia 700 series cards were over Asus tossed out another one. This time it was something a little special, the Striker. The Striker is a GTX 760 but they went a little above and beyond from their standard cards. This is actually a little bit of an unusual launch, typically special cards are limited to the highest end GPUs (like this Mars and Poseidon models), but they did something special with that GPU that more people can afford. Now lets dig in and see how the Striker holds up against the competition.
