NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 SLI @ Legit Reviews
“Overclocking performance on the ASUS GeForce GTX 580 greatly exceeded our expectations thanks to the ASUS Smart Doctor overclocking utility. We were able to overclock out card from 782MHz on the GF110 core by 18%, up to 926MHz. We we able to hit this impressive number thanks to the ASUS Voltage Tweak.”
AMD HD 6850 & HD 6870 @ Metku
“There’s been plenty of rumors going around about AMD’s new HD6-series of cards, but now the long wait is finally over and the first models, HD6850 and HD6870, have been officially launched. The newcomers found their way into our test lab, so lets see what they have to offer.”
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 480 SOC @ PureOC
“Gigabyte is a board partner that’s known for pushing the boundaries on Nvidia’s reference graphics cards, whether it’s a custom heatsink, improved quality components, or a factory overclock. And true to form, the GTX 480 SOC includes all of these with an excellent heatsink, improved power design components, and a strong factory overclock.”
PowerColor HD 6870 PCS+ 1GB @ TechPowerUp
“PowerColor’s HD 6870 PCS+ comes with some of the highest out of the box clock speeds of all HD 6870 cards available today. It also comes with a unique thermal solution that offers extremely low noise levels in both idle and load. Another improvement is that power consumption is slightly lower than AMD’s reference design – despite the higher clock speed.”
AMD Radeon HD 6850/6870 Cards @ iXBT Labs
“AMD Radeon HD 6870 1024MB performs similarly to or a bit slower than GeForce GTX 470. However, it also consumes less power, meaning that it’s cooler and quieter. Five interfaces are also a plus. If Radeon HD 6870 is cheaper than GeForce GTX 470, it will sell well.”
Gigabyte P67A-UD7 Preview @ TweakTown
“Lately the challenge has been to find an efficient way to mate a powerful CPU with a powerful GPU. AMD calls this Fusion while Intel calls this Sandy Bridge. Sandy Bridge represents an evolutionary change to Intel’s CPUs. With it we find even higher-end CPUs with a built in GPU. The new silicon requires a new socket and of course a new chipset.”
An early look at Gigabyte’s P67A-UD7 @ TechReport
“Earlier this month, we got an early look what Asus has in store for Intel’s new hotness. Today, it’s Gigabyte’s turn. Late last week, the company’s high-end P67A-UD7 motherboard arrived at my door, and while I don’t yet have a CPU to pop in, I was able to snap a stack of pictures of the board.”
Kingston KHX1333C9D3K2/4G DDR3 1333MHz @ eTeknix
“Kingston have stuck with the same design on their packaging for quite some time now, giving you a clear view of the memory and the security sticker detailing the model number, size, speed and cas latency. The label is used as a security seal, to stop the memory being tampered with.”
OCZ Reaper R2 1600MHz 6GB DDR3 @ Techware Labs
“Enthusiast RAM is like the sports car of the computer world. It can help give you that extra edge and is a must for any serious overclocker. Join us as we check out OCZ’s new entry in the Reaper line, and find out if it can slice through the competition.”
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 480 AMP @ Xtreme Computing
“Zotac have sent us along their top model GTX 480 for review. This differs from the stock GTX 480 in that it has a core clock of 756Mhz, shader of 1512Mhz, and memory speed of 3800Mhz. So it should have a nice bump in performance over the stock GTX 480.”
