Having just finished looking at the Radeon R7 260X 2GB from VisionTek, we today look at something a little higher-end. Let's see how it performs now.
It's been a while since we've looked at an ASUS video card, but we get stuck back into it today with the OC-friendly R9 280X DirectCU II TOP 3GB.
Last month we reviewed the latest flagship GPU from Sapphire, the incredible HD7970 6GB Toxic Edition. The 7970 Toxic managed to get the enthusiast audience salivating, although most simply couldn’t afford the bank breaking asking price. In an attempt to rectify this today we are looking at the brand new HD7950 Vapor X card – another pimped out, heavily modified solution from the company, but targeted at a more affordable price point. Our sample was one of the first from the factory, before even the retail boxes were printed.
Lenovo kann auch Gaming. Das soll zumindest das neue 15-Zoll-Gaming-Notebook IdeaPad Y580 zeigen, mit dem sich der aktuelle Weltmarktführer auf ein neues Territorium begibt. Doch wie immer bei einem Einstand stellt sich die Frage: Kann man sich auch auf dem neuen Gebiet behaupten oder sollte besser noch einmal nachgearbeitet werden.
Last week we took a look at the Nvidia GTX 780, their first card in the 700 series of cards. Surprisingly I am sitting here a week later already telling you about their next card: the GTX 770. Is the combination of the GTX 780 and GTX 770 a one-two punch or a hit and a miss? Well in order to find out we had to put it through our benchmark suite to see what it was capable of. I enjoyed the GTX 780; I hope they are able to keep it up with the GTX 770.
Just the other day I talked about how the video card market has been quiet lately and all of a sudden it seems we have a surge of video cards from companies. The latest card to arrive is from Sapphire and comes in as part of the much loved TOXIC series which has served us well in the past.
Today we are taking a look at a brand new video card from Sapphire. We have been hearing about the Radeon 7790 over the past few weeks and earlier this year AMD said we would see an HD 8000 series towards the end of the year and they would be refreshing their HD 7000 lineup with new chips. The HD 7790 is the first card that is part of this refresh, based on the brand new “Bonaire” 28nm graphics processor. The Bonaire graphics processor is based off of AMD’s graphics core next (GCN) architecture and features 896 stream processors. We are looking at Sapphire’s version, which is the HD 7790 OC with Dual-X. The Dual-X is for Sapphire’s own unique cooling system on the card. This card features a 1075MHz core clock, 1GB of GDDR5 memory and has dual DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort connections. This card is setup to compete directly with Nvidia’s GTX 650 Ti. Read on as we take a look...
Nicht jeder Nutzer ist geneigt sich eine XBOX oder Playstation ins Wohnzimmer zu stellen um in den Genuss von HD-Material, Internet am großen TV oder grandiosen Spielen zu kommen. So entstanden vor einiger Zeit die sogenannten HTPC´s die sich bis heute großer und wachsender Beliebtheit erfreuen. An so einen Mini PC stellt der Besitzer allerdings bestimmte Anforderungen. Diese reichen von preiswert über lautlos bis hin zu leistungsstark. Das dieser Spagat mitunter recht kompliziert ist sollte klar sein. Umso wichtiger ist hier für den Käufer die Wahl der richtigen Komponenten. Ein wichtiges Element neben dem Mainboard die ist Grafikkarte. Meistens wird diese im low-profile Format benötigt und sollte passiv gekühlt werden, sowie eine akzeptabler Spieleleistung bieten. Nach einem langen Dornröschenschlaf der Hersteller kamen nun gleich zwei der Anbieter auf die Idee eine Lösung mit ATI´s Redwood Pro Grafikchip feil zu bieten. Sapphire legte mit der Ultimate Radeon HD 5550 vor und HIS kontert nun mit der HD 5550 Silence. Welche der beiden Kreationen die bessere ist wollen wir in unserem Test ermitteln.
AMD graphics card partners seem to be churning out R9 270(X) GPUs like there’s no tomorrow and today we’ve got another one to put onto the test bench. Powercolor are the provider this time and they’ve sent us their R9 270X PCS+ overclocked graphics card for review. As the name suggests this graphics card uses Powercolor’s PCS+ cooling solution which consists of two 90mm fans with their new double blade fan design and three heat pipes (Two 8mm and One 6mm), that’s all encased in a red and black themed metal shroud with a black metal backplate. Powercolor have also done some work with overclocking taking this GPU to 1060MHz core and 1100MHz boost (up from 1050MHz reference clocks) as well as bumping the memory up to 1425MHz (5700MHz effective) from 1400MHz (5600MHz effective) reference. Other than that there really isn’t much else to point out that you can’t discover from reading our launch day review of AMD’s R9 270X.
There is one last thing that Powercolor wanted us to show you, the readers, and that’s their new Turbo Timer module that is compatible with this graphics card.
