AMD is launching today their latest ultra-high-end video card, the Radeon HD 6990, a dual-GPU solution that comes priced at USD 700. Let's check its performance.

We take a look at our second R9 270. This time from MSI with an out of the box overclock. Let's see how it goes.

The launch of AMD’s R9 290X last week was interesting as it certainly stirred up the graphics card market and industry. Following the launch arguing between readers occurred in abundance across many review sites, not just our own. Where I stand in this debate is that AMD have really shot themselves in the foot by releasing such a high performance graphics card that then gets throttled by such a mediocre cooling solution. Then to make things worse they’ve chosen to shed no light on the launch of non-reference solutions – something all prospective R9 290X buyers are waiting for to make a fully informed decision. Yet despite the R9 290X being throttled by that stock cooler the general consensus from most reviewers was that the R9 290X is at least as good as the GTX 780, while some reviewers who were able to test in favourable temperature conditions received results that suggested the R9 290X was better than the GTX Titan. Our review fell into that latter category and our benchmarks showed the R9 290X as being quite some way ahead of the GTX Titan in most benchmarks.
Setting the R9 290X aside for a bit, today we have with us the R9 290, the R9 290X’s little brother. For those who remember the HD 7000 series clearly the R9 290 is essentially the HD 7950 successor and is the second best single GPU graphics card of the RX-2XX series. Sadly, the AMD R9 290 comes with the same weak AMD stock cooling solution so we can expect more of the same – a wide variety of reviewers showing very different results based on testing that was conducted in varying ambient room temperatures. I think it is immensely important to stress that if readers really want to see the full picture, and want to make a solid judgement on whether the R9 290(X) cards are a good buy, then you’ve got to wait for the non-reference solutions to hit the market to see the accurate picture. When that will be is anyone’s guess as AMD have remained tight-lipped about it, we’ve seen a variety of (guess)estimates thrown all over internet forums ranging from early November to mid December – in my opinion the sooner the better.

PNY is a well known NVIDIA partner. In this review we look at one of their PNY GeForce GTX 680 XLR8 Graphics Cards with 4GB GDDR5 Memory. Let us see how this version of the PNY GeForce GTX 680 XLR8 performs in real life.

We are looking at to one of the "big boys" in the market, in the case of HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ X 2 with boost clock and 3GB RAM. So a map where but not to compromise on anything, either by performance or when talking about eye candy. The card is not among the cheap, but often hangs quality and performance well with price. Let's see how this cool graphic card perform.

Anfang März diesen Jahres hat AMD seine Single GPU Grafikkarten um ein weiteres Modell erweitert, der Radeon HD 4890. Diese soll der neue Spitzenreiter am Single-GPU Markt werden und somit die relativ erfolgreiche HD4870 ablösen. Als Beispiel wollen wir uns heute die XFX Radeon HD4890 Black Edition etwas genauer ansehen, die derzeit schnellste HD4890 Grafikkarte.

The AMD Radeon R9 290X and R9 290 have been getting a ton of attention lately due to a number of reports that the retail cards are performing differently than the press cards that the media sites received. We have been following these stories for the past few weeks and finally decided to look into the situation ourselves.

If there was one suggestion I might make in order to improve the life expectancy and reliability of the Galaxy GT430 1GB video card, it would be to address the two hot transistors found between the GPU cooler and the connectors on the back of the card. The GPU cooler slightly overhangs this area, but some low profile chipsinks could fit on to either.

AMD has officially launched the Radeon HD 7000 series of graphics cards with the introduction of the companies new flagship single GPU graphics card, the AMD Radeon HD 7970. We put the AMD Radeon HD 7970 to the test on with an Intel Core i7-3960X on the Intel X79 platform with PCI Express 3.0 enabled to see how this card performs. We also overclock it as far as we could to see what the Radeon HD 7970 can do!
