With their GeForce 7900 GTX and GeForce 7900 GT GPUs, NVIDIA's poised to try and take back the high-end crown from arch-rival ATI. These new GPUs don't come with the stratospheric price tags we've grown accustomed to. In fact, the 7900 GT delivers 7800 GTX-class performance for just $300. Rumors have been swirling for months now over the number of pipelines NVIDIA's G71 GPU contained. 24? 32? 48? Find out inside!

Today, NVIDIA is unveiling the latest product in its SLI armoury - the SLI notebook. It's got a massive 19" widescreen, dual GeForce Go 7800 GTX graphics cards, weighs a tonne, and sports outrageous dual-graphics performance. Lust object or useless concept? We find out.

We've finished another article. This time we take the Radeon X1900 XTX for a spin. While it may not be the the fastest card for all games, it packs more than enough punch for heavy shader games like F.E.A.R and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. The soon to come price cuts just made this card all the more appealing.

Following on from our 6800 GS GLH review, we have the 7800 GT GLH 512MB from Gainward. In this article I aim to find out if this supercharged 7800 GT clocked at 450/1300 can, as Gainward claims, compete against the mighty X1800 XT and if by some miracle it does, should you buy one anyway? All will be answered...

As always I am glad to share with you some really exciting news fresh from the Intel Developer Forum that has just started in San Francisco, California. 10 years in a row Intel has been putting together a great show and an exciting technology event for us, so I think we can all congratulate Intel on the 10th anniversary of this initiative and wish them to keep up the good work.

ATI's All-In-Wonder series has been popular with the multimedia enthusiast for quite some time now, delivering all the features of a TV Tuner, along with the performance of a dedicated graphics card. ATI has recently released their X1900 AIW series, which is a perfect card to get if you're a gamer and have the cash to spend.

The Mac mini is the third Apple computer to make the jump from PowerPC to Intel. Along with a new CPU it also received more USB ports, integrated graphics, Front Row, and remote control. Do those new features combine to make a compelling upgrade to its G4 predecessor?

Being announced during WCG 2005, Razer Krait is yet another mouse from Razer's impressive line up of gaming mouse. But the difference of this mouse would probably be the fact that it's designed specifically for less demanding Real Time Strategy gamers instead of the usual FPS crowd. Spotting a refreshing orange glow, and a budget friendly pricetag, VR-Zone takes an insight on this new Razer mouse!

OCIA.net takes a look at the Sytrin KuFormula VF1 Plus VGA Cooler in their latest review.

I don't know about anyone else, but after running these tests I was left speechless. I have always considered Thermalright heatsinks as the best in the business, and here it just got trounced by the Sytrin VF1.

Our first look at ASRock's value performance board based on the ULi M1697 and M1695 chipsets offering dual x16 SLI operation.

ATI's officially launching their next-generation CrossFire chipset formerly codenamed RD580. ASUS' A8R32-MVP Deluxe is one of the first motherboards on the market to utilize the new chipset and it's stuffed with features: dual Gigabit Ethernet, fanless design, and for the enthusiasts its got tons of headroom for overclocking. See how it compares to RD480 CrossFire in 3D performance (both 4xAA and Super AA) and features in this review!

Today 3DXtreme is taking a look at the newest product from our friends at Aerocool. The new ExtremEngine 3T picks up where the AeroEngine II Case left off by adding a gigantic 25 CM (250mm) fan to the side panel. The front of the ExtremEngine 3T Case contains the familiar 14CM fan capable of pushing 68 CFM (cubic feet per minute) at a mere 34 dBA while the new side fan adds another 162 CFM at 35 dBA. It's an amazing amount of airflow for such a low amount of noise being generated - and if that isn't enough Aerocool has included a fan controller to tame these beasts.

The X1800 XT has significantly dropped in price over a very short period of time. Just a few months ago this card was priced at over £400, but now costs roughly £250~£270. This is quite a bit cheaper than the 7800 GTX. You can even grab an X1800 XT 256MB for around £230, too. I already know of many who are making the logical choice and are moving from 7800 GT's to X1800 XT's. Essentially what I'm saying is, the X1800XT is a very interesting card right now, much more interesting than when it was launched .

With the upcoming release of nVidia?s latest in March, we might see some interesting deals for previous generation products. EVGA has taken a vanilla 7800GTX 256Mb and supercharged it, increasing GPU and Memory clocks and constructing their own cooling device which promises excellent performance without ?hair dryer? noise effects.

The ATi RD580 chipset promises to deliver faster performance than it's previous gen RD480 with it's dual x16 PCI Express lanes, compared to dual x8 lanes that the RD480 is capped at.

OCIA.net takes a look at the Swiftech MCW60 VGA Waterblock in their latest review.

Here's a closer look at the base plate. You can clearly see Swiftech's Patent-Pending Diamond Pin Matrix design. One thing to note on the inner machine work... on some of the first production runs of the APOGEE CPU block, there was a problem with copper shavings being left on the inside of the block. Swiftech has now added a bead blasting process to ensure that the base plates are totally clean and free of shavings. This is why the inside of the block now has a somewhat textured finish instead of a shiny one.

Today, MBReview.com has released their latest review. This time they've given Foxconn's premier i945P motherboard, the 945P7AA-8EKRS2 a good run through. Odd naming schemes aside, this product offers an excellent value to the budget oriented user, as well as performance on par with that of the more expensive i955X chipset. If you're looking for a cheap upgrade, give this review a look.

The X1 and X2 are drastically different from the NV silencer range that ruled the earth before it. They have introduced heat pipe technology into the equation ? a first for GPU cooling. Arctic Cooling claims this improves the cooling efficiency over the NV silencer range.

Madshrimps review: "Coolermaster surprised us two years ago with their Real Power 450W PSU, offering solid performance for a competitive price. Today we have their latest in for testing - a 550W SLI certified unit equipped with 120mm for silent operation."
