Nvidia's G71 is also Dual Slot

Published by Newsfactory 0

The "Faster G70", which is how the G71 is being called internally now, targets almost insane clock speeds. We have learned that several boards achieved a clock speed of 800MHz, which just goes to prove that tweaks being done in 110nm G71 core will make R520 tremble, and force ATI to respond with its 32-pipe R580 as soon as possible. However, we have to warn you that we haven't been able to find out in what environment this clockspeed was achieved. But it was achieved using new and improved two-slot cooling, not water or phase-change cooling.

Unlock SLI Capability On nForce 4-4x Chipset

Published by Newsfactory 0

This is quite an interesting mod shared by our friends at HKEPC where they are able to unlock the SLI capability on the nForce4-4x chipset. As we know, nForce4-4x chipset, the value version of nForce4 Ultra/SLI is often used by board makers for their inexpensive AMD motherboards that usually sports single PCI-E x16 slot.

ATi & NVIDIA GPUs Codenames

Published by Newsfactory 0

There are quite a bit of confusion over the codenames of NVIDIA G7x series especially when NVIDIA decided to drop the NV4x codenames. If you remember for GeForce 6800, there are already 3 codenames tagged to it; NV40, NV41 and NV42. NV40 is the one where all the GeForce 6800 series started from but it is AGP-based interface.

R520 is a Dual Slot Card

The reference design implies that you will need dual slot cooling. Chip will be clocked incredible high and our sources implies that will end up much higher than 600MHz plus than we suggested before.

Fujitsu Debuts Bendable Electronic Paper

Published by Newsfactory 0

Fujitsu today announced their joint development of the world's first film substrate-based bendable color electronic paper with an image memory function. The new electronic paper features vivid color images that are unaffected even when the screen is bent, and features an image memory function that enables continuous display of the same image without the need for electricity.

EVGA?s 7800 with ACS Cooling for Enthusiasts

Published by Newsfactory 0

When we first evaluated EVGA?s 6800 PCIe graphics adapter, one of the things we noted was their lack of engineering efforts to make the graphics adapters something above NVIDIA?s specified design. There just wasn?t anything exclusive about EVGA?s product line, but that?s about to change, thanks to EVGA?s already implemented heatsink and fan combo on its 7800GTX. Moreover, EVGA is taking it a step further by working on its ACS cooling design that could define new standards in graphics card cooling, assuming it performs well.

AMD Athlon FX-57 Overclocking ? 3.54GHz with Phase Change

Published by Newsfactory 0

TweakTown's Byron Johnstone, their new writer from South Africa, is a complete overclocking nut and he loves taking all manors of computer products to the extreme. In his first article he has his way with an AMD Athlon FX-57 processor with Phase Change cooling. He shows us what the newest and quickest CPU from AMD can achieve at -12 degrees Celsius with the Prometeia Mach II!

Speed of Apple Intel Dev Systems Impress Developers

"It's fast," said one developer source of Mac OS X running on Intel's Pentium processors. "Faster than [Mac OS X] on my Dual 2GHz Power Mac G5." In addition to booting Windows XP at blazing speeds, the included version of Mac OS X for Intel takes "as little as 10 seconds" to boot to the Desktop from when the Apple logo first displays on screen.

OCZ Gamer eXtreme Enhanced Latency Memory

Published by Newsfactory 0

Over the past few years, OCZ Technology has been pushing the limits of memory modules with its fine engineering talent. In recent memory, OCZ?s low-latency Platinum Rev. 2 memory overclocked the highest out of the numerous low-latency modules we tested. OCZ then introduced its VX value line of memory, which continued the tradition of amazingly decent overclocking yields at an all time low prices. The company?s innovation didn?t stop there, however.

ATI to Retail and Launch R520 on the Same Day

Published by Newsfactory 0

NVIDIA really took everyone by surprise when its 7800 GTX was in stock at various retailers on the launch date. After what NVIDIA and ATI had done with their last generation GPUs, no one really thought that NVIDIA could pull off something of this magnitude. Making sure that its board partners are ready with their products on the announcement day requires immense efforts in organizing everything. Needless to say, NVIDIA has really gotten into the "good books" of numerous enthusiasts and the rest of the industry with what it accomplished.

Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Toledo Core Prometia Mach II Overclocking @ AMDZone

Published by Newsfactory 0

Not happy with overclocking the Athlon 64 X2 4800+ to a mere 3GHz we decided to push it further. We turned to the Prometia Mach II with an updated Athlon 64 CPU kit. Our tools include a 550 watt Coolermaster power supply, the DFI Lanparty UT nF4 SLI-DR, some Corsair XMS Pro DDR400, and the 623 bios for the board. Stay tuned for an extra push past the 3.3GHz barrier, and a truckload of benchmarks comparing it against all the FX Venice and San Diego core speed grades.

Uber-high-resolution gaming on today's GPUs

Published by Newsfactory 3

We coped by doing most of our testing with 4X antialiasing and 16X anisotropic filtering enabled at resolutions as high as most monitors would take us: 1600x1200. That approach gave us a decent idea what kind of comparative performance to expect from the GeForce 7800 GTX, but it didn't entirely harness the power of two of them in SLI, as we learned when we drove a pair of 'em with the brand-new Athlon 64 FX-57 after the fact.
