ASUS EAH6850 DirectCU @ Bjorn3D
“Now that the 6800 series cards have been out for a while, we’re taking a closer look at ASUS’ HD 6850 variant, the EAH6850 DirectCU. With their unique heatpipe cooling solution, DirectCU, ASUS claims their cards run up to 20% cooler than OEM style cooled cards. Come along as we see how things turn out as the benchmarks get under way.”
Inno3D GeForce GTX 580 OC @ Guru3D
“We review the Inno3D GeForce GTX 580OC. Despite a very high price tag the product seems to become a nice success. As such directly at launch several models based of this SKU where already announced, e.g. the regular clocked models, factory higher clocked models, liquid cooled models.”
PowerColor Radeon PCS+ 6870 @ PureOC
“What’s unique about this PowerColor card is that it’s not a reference heatsink; it’s got a custom cooler and a healthy factory overclock as well, promising some great gaming horsepower with respectable temperatures and power consumption. And not only that, but it comes with a free copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 tossed in for good measure. Tasty.”

Biostar A880G+ @ OCIA
“Aside from the T in the model name, these T-series have also been distinguishable by their blue/orange/yellow color scheme, as opposed to the green/white/black of their standard models. Beginning this year it seems they have switched to using black/red/white for all of their boards, and the A880G+ looks very similar to the TA880G+ in appearance.”
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (Rev. 2.0) @ Legit Reviews
“It still features the same low $200 price range, USB 3.0, SATA 3, a 3 year warranty, and an identical layout as the original but GIGABYTE added four more power phases compared to eight. Another added feature is an extra USB header(red one) that employs GIGABYTE’s new On/Off USB Charge technology that maintains power to the front USB even when the computer is turned off.”
ASUS Rampage III Formula @ HardOCP
“The ASUS Rampage III Formula comes from a long line of “Rampage” boards. This one is based on Intel’s X58 chipset and ICH10R south bridge. The Rampage III Formula is full of features. It doesn’t have as many RAID controllers or as many PCI-Express x16 slots as some boards do. The Rampage III Formula doesn’t have all a bunch of expansion slots which couldn’t be used when blocked. It’s pretty much all business.”

The A890GXM-A2 has integrated with ATI™ Radeon HD 4290 graphics IGP, which includes AMD CrossFire ,Hybrid Crossfire technology and DirectX 10.1 capabilities.”
ECS A890GXM-A2 @ TBreak
“Being a socket AM3 based motherboard, the ECS A890GXM-A2 will support pretty much any processor released by AMD in the last 2 years, including the latest X6 processors. The specialty here is that it has the ability to unlock some of the hidden cores on some of the Phenom II and Sempron 140 processors through the BIOS itself.”
