ASRock ION 3D 152B @ TweakTown
“Fast forward a little and we see the release of the ION 3D Series from ASRock. Don’t let looks deceive you; it looks pretty similar to all previous nettop systems from ASRock, but what is going on inside the attractive and small case is what is important. As the name implies, the ION 3D comes with 3D playback support. This is thanks to the inclusion of the NVIDIA GT218-ION graphics chip that is NVIDIA 3DTV Play capable.”
Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition @ Hardware Secrets
“Phenom II X6 CPUs have a technology similar to Turbo Boost from Intel, dubbed Turbo Core. When the CPU “feels” that three or more cores are idle, it will increase the clock rate from the active cores. On the new Phenom II X6 1100T the clock is increased from 3.3 GHz (x16.5 multiplier) to 3.7 GHz (x18.5 multiplier).”
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T BE @ Techware Labs
“AMD is wringing every last drop of performance out of the current AM3 architecture, offering frequent speed bumps and price drops as they introduce CPUs that grow ever closer to the theoretical ideal of the Thuban design. Their latest shot across Intel’s bow is the Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition. This six core monster aims at the high performance and gaming crowd. Is the Phenom 1100T worth a place at the center of your gaming rig?”
ASUS ENGT430 GeForce GT 430 @ TweakNews
“Asus’ ENGT430 Geforce GT 430 graphics card is a very decent low profile DirectX 11 budget card for the money. Even while slightly handicapped by its slower onboard DDR3 memory, it still succeeded in matching and in some cases surpassing the ATI alternative in terms of performance.”
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 1GB @ iXBT Labs
“GeForce GTX 460 competes well with both the older Radeon HD 5830 and the newer Radeon HD 6850. For example, Manli GeForce GTX460OC has a highly efficient cooler and is factory overclocked to 800 MHz. It even works fine at 850 MHz core clock rate.”
MSI GeForce GTX 580 1536MB @ TweakTown
“After testing the GTX 580 at stock clocks there’s clearly a little bit of a love hate relationship going on with the card. The one thing you can’t take away from it is the performance that it offers out of the box. Considering you’ve essentially got the performance of two slightly overclocked GTX 460s in not just a single PCI-E card, but more importantly a single GPU card, is nothing short of fantastic.”
GeForce GTX 570 SLI @ Guru3D
“So the fine people from Gigabyte send out a 2nd card prior to the release of the GeForce GTX 570, and that product my fiends is really interesting, in 2-way SLI, as this article is going to show you.
We see tremendous scaling and while 349 EUR per card is not exactly pocket change money, for roughly 700 EUR you can create a fragtastic monster PC with two GeForce GTX 570 cards.”
MSI 880GMA-E45 @ InsideHW
“880GMA-E45 is made of high-quality components, including shielded capacitors, which gives an impression of robustness and reliability even before the motherboard is mounted into the case. On the other hand, the motherboard is truly packed, which caused a less-than-likeable layout.”
“We did not expect AMD to release any faster six-core Phenom processors, but we were quickly proven wrong. Today, AMD has released the fastest six-core processor based on the Thuban core: the Phenom II X6 1100T BE clocked at 3.3 GHz, which will take the helm as the company’s flagship processor.”

“Fierce competition between GPU manufacturers has allowed PC gamers to enjoy the best graphics hardware ever developed for computers. NVIDIA continues to update their desktop video card product family, and now offers the 480-core GeForce GTX 570 video card. Build from the same GF110 GPU that powers the industry-leading GTX 580 series, 15 Streaming Multiprocessors clocked to 732 MHz is comprised of 60 Texture Units and 40 ROP Units while 1280MB of GDDR5 video frame buffer promises 152 GB/s bandwidth over a 320-bit memory bus.”
