Today 3DXtreme has the pleasure of reviewing a gaming device for the hardcore in the Mystify Claw. Everyone is trying to make the gaming experience easier and more ergonomic and that?s where the Mystify Claw comes in. But do these devices really make the gaming experience better or is the learning curve of getting used to something new not worth the hassle? Let?s have a look?


Terratec Mystify Claw Review @ 3DXtreme

With clock speeds of 460MHz core/1350MHz memory, EVGA's e-GeForce 7800 GS CO Superclock is the fastest GeForce 7800 GS AGP card on the market right now. But how much additional performance does the card's boosted clocks buy you?

Enter the new Sound Blaster X-Fi series, a truly new soundcard release from Creative in several years. Based on a completely new audio processor, the X-Fi offers significant architectural changes such as the Ring Architecture, S-SRC, Quartet DSP, as well as 24-bit Crystalizer, and CMMS-3D.

Regular readers will know that we recently carried out a review of the Noctua NH-U9 heatsink, we now follow on with another slightly larger brother heatsink, their NH-U12. Noctua are a new company to us and are probably to you also. Review Thx JackAss

The late introduction of R520 had caused ATI to speed up the introduction of its new products. Going by how the company handles kicker products, most of us assumed it would be just that; a refresh of the older SKUs. All in all, it was a hasty and wrongful assumption. ATI had been actually cooking something tasty for us ? R580 which has been in production since November 30th 2005

OCIA.net takes a look at the Thermalright HR-01 "High-Riser" Heatsink in their latest review. Below is a direct quote from the review:

It's here folks, the GeForce 7800 GS in the flavor AGP. A lot of you will go wild as there finally is a really nice upgrade for all the AGP PCs out there, and there's quite a few of them. Yeah NVIDIA has nothing to be ashamed of as this little puppy is what you have been waiting on for a while now.

What do you do, or say to a company that does something as unfounded as discontinuing a perfectly acceptable card such as the 6800 Ultra? Well, when NVIDIA pulled off this stunt, we cried foul and sent several e-mails asking them on their ideology behind the move.

Cooler Master jumps into the themed pre-modded chassis segment; does the AMMO have the ammunition to take out its opponents? The Madshrimps take a close look at its plug and play features, they check out the thermal and noise performance and show you the ins and outs

It's media review time again at CDR-Zone.COM and in the first media review of 2006 they get to check out the Philips branded 16x DVD+R media kindly supplied to them by Philips.

Not everyone who buys a PC is a hardcore gamer, but there are a fair number of people who do kill time by blowing stuff up. At the same time, a lot of folks do more than just play games. Make no mistake, you probably are a "more than causal" gamer if you're considering the AIW X1900 PCIe for a HTPC, and in our opinion, the All-In-Wonder X1900 PCIe is the All-In-Wonder card that HTPC and gaming enthusiasts have been waiting for.

First announced last week, ATI's All-In-Wonder X1900 graphics card leverages the multimedia prowess of previous All-In-Wonder cards with the gaming capabilities of ATI's brand new R580 GPU. And with prices starting at $500 for this 256MB graphics card, it's actually the least expensive X1900 board you can buy right now.

HEXUS.net reviews Dell's massive LCD: Launched a few days into 2006, the Dell 3007WFP matches Apple's 30in, ultra-high resolution display but undercuts the price by around £300. We bought one directly from Dell (review websites don't all receive free kit), to see if it could displace the Dell 2405FPW as our monitor of choice.

Today, MBReview has released their latest review to you, the readers. This time they've taken a look at Intel's flagship processor, the Extreme Edition 955. Sporting 4MB of Level 2 cache, and the long lost 1066MHz FSB, the 955 brings Intel back into the game of performance processors. What does MBReview think of it?

Corsair is one of the premier memory producers in the world. Their products are easily accepted as some of the highest quality memory on the market and the Pro Series modules brought LED activity indicators to Random Access Memory. With the overclockability of the AMD64 line of processors this product would be the perfect fit for the gamer looking to squeeze a little bit more performance from their machine by pushing the front side bus from 200 to around 218 Mhz. This moderate overclock, while not exactly in line with the hardcore overclockers pushing 800 - 1000 Mhz on the AMD64 platform, would fit the needs of the tweaker / gamer perfectly.

Diamond Multimedia lets loose with an affordable sound card featuring Dolby Digital Live. We put it through games, subjective listening, and even CPU scaling to see how it stacks up to today's competition.

PC Perspecitive

We've have always wondered whether a professional card, such as the NVIDIA Quadro FX series, can let us play games with as much ease as its GeForce counterparts. The reason is that most of the games are designed for consumer-end cards, so it makes sense that if the very cards that design the games should be able to play those games as well.

Gadget Flash has reviewed the newest portable media player from creative. The Zen Vision:M.

Today we?ll take a look at the Zen Vision:M from Creative. This player was chosen by CNET as best of CES 2006 and he?s the biggest rival of Apple?s iPod video (5G).

Today 3DXtreme is taking a look at the new Spire SP-500W - RockeTeer V?, 500W EZ-Cable Gaming Power Supply. Some of features that it boasts are Modular EZ-Cable Power Connectors, Two Blue LED Dual Ball Bearing fans, 3 Speed Variable Fan Speed Auto-Control, Two SATA Power Connectors, Thermo-Reactive Cooling System and a few others that we will be covering with the review.

Zalman introduced the ZM460-APS power supply around 2 months ago as an ultra quiet 460W power supply supporting Intel and AMD based systems. We have gotten the opportunity to shed some light on this new powerful but noiseless power supply which meets the latest ATX power standards. Zalman has on top of their older already very silent power supplies improved their noise prevention system by using an auto controlled cooling fan. So without holding you all up let's dig into the new Zalman ZM460-APS PSU.
