Revealed earlier, Sapphire’s upcoming Radeon HD 7970 Toxic graphics card that sport 6GB of GDDR5 memory has now been detailed. The card will apparently not only come with a large memory upgrade but also with well picked specifications potentially making it a very good performer and overclocker.
Palit has made official its GTX 680 JetStream graphics card which makes use of the company’s custom design cooler inspired by the design of jet engines. Utilizing a custom PCB and three cooling fans, the GTX 680 JetStream graphics card is able to perform 8°C cooler and 9dB quieter compared to the reference design.
Acrtic has announced that they are preparing to release a new Accelero graphics card cooler in late May that will be dubbed as the Accelero Xtreme III VGA Cooler. The new cooler sports three 92mm fluid bearing fans that operate at 900 to 2000 RPM and will have a cooling capacity of up to 300W. In addition, it will support the latest graphics cards including those from AMD’s HD 7000 series and Nvidia’s GeForce 600 series.
If you think AMD’s Radeon HD 7850 is the only graphics card with a single slot design being prepared, then you’re mistaken as Galaxy has now been seen doing the same thing with Nvidia’s recently launched GTX 680 graphics card.
Aqua computer has also launched a water block for Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 680 graphics card. Dubbed as the AquaGraFX GTX 680, this model is a full cover water block that uses copper as its primary material.
Slovenia-based EK Water Blocks has unveiled its EK-FC680 GTX series water block for Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 680 graphics card. This water block is a full model that covers the GPU, RAM and VRMs on the GTX 680 and the upcoming GTX 670 graphics card.
With Nvidia officially launching its GeForce GTX 680 graphics card, AIC (Add in Card) partners have now all come rushing in to the scene to introduce their own version of the graphics card. Some stick to the reference design while some come with custom coolers and factory overclocked settings.
Nvidia has officially launched its GeForce GTX 680 graphics card which at the moment is deemed as the fastest single GPU graphics card even when compared to AMD’s Radeon HD 7970. The GeForce GTX 680 is based on the 28nm GK104 GPU that uses Nvidia’s new ‘Kepler’ architecture that brings to the table new GPU technologies that enable it to perform faster than any single GPU solution without consuming large amounts of power.
The MSI R7970 Lightning graphics card that officially debuted late last week has now proven its might as it gets overclocked way beyond any HD 7970 graphics card has been. This was made possible by the card’s custom PCB design and of course the GPU reactor module that many did not pay that much attention to previously.
AMD seems to be planning on keeping its monthly graphics card release scheduled in check as the company’s dual-GPU solution, the HD 7990 is now expected to be launched in April. In addition to this, it seems the monster card will make use of two Tahiti XT GPUs fully enabled with slightly decreased clock speeds.
MSI has now officially launched its top of the line R7970 Lightning graphics card that features an Unlocked BIOS, Digital PWM Controller, and Enhanced Power Design and the company’s proprietary "GPU Reactor" power supply module which enhances the quality of current flowing to the GPU for better overclocking potential.
Sapphire has made official its HD 7970 Dual-X OC edition graphics card based on AMD’s Tahiti XT GPU. The card features Sapphire’s Dual X cooler technology which features highly efficient dual fans and multiple copper heat pipes.
AMD’s monster dual-GPU graphics card, the Radeon HD 7990 has been reported to be slated for an April release. Originally thought as an axed product, this graphics card will most likely pack two Tahiti XT GPUs that are linked together via CrossFireX.
For those of you who have been eagerly waiting for Nvidia’s first Kepler based graphics card, the GeForce GTX 680, a slide detailing the card’s performance has now surfaced. In the slide that is courtesy of the NGF Community, Nvidia’s upcoming Kepler graphics card found itself against AMD’s Radeon HD 7970 and HD 7950 and the result was nothing short of impressive.
AFOX is not a very big name in the world of graphics card but back at this year’s CeBIT, the company managed to grab some attention as they unveiled their single slot Radeon HD 7850 graphics card.
Back at last week’s CeBIT, there were rumors going around that Nvidia Kepler GPUs are just weeks away. This was followed by a bit of feature confirmation that puts into spotlight the GK104 GPU again plus another new technology that Nvidia will be introducing in its next generation graphics card, the ‘Dynamic Clocking’ or ‘Dynamic Clock Adjustment’ feature.
Back at CeBit, Sapphire took the chance to showcase its Toxic Radeon HD 7970. Unlike other custom Radeon HD 7970 out there, this model is particularly special as it holds 6GB of GDDR5 memory, doubling that of the 3GB found on the reference card and almost every other model from AMD’s AIB partners.
If you have noticed it, MSI’s R7970 Lightning graphics card had an unusual cutout on the back of its PCB and the card’s specifications mentions a feature called ‘GPU Reactor’. Well, as it turns out, the cutout was a provision for that ‘GPU Reactor’ which in turn is actually an add-on PCB that packs a battery of tantalum capacitors.
Sapphire has introduced the first passively cooled Radeon HD 7000 series graphics card, the HD 7750 ULTIMATE. The card features stock reference settings with the core running at 800MHz while the memory is at 1125MHz (4500MHz effective).
Chinese company Yeston still believes that there’s still room for a custo Radeon HD 6870 graphics card in the market. Proof of this is the company’s recently pictures R6870 Game Master graphics card that comes with a custom PCB design, custom cooling solution and reference design settings, leaving users to dictate their own OC settings for the card which has been given a good overclocking headroom.
An Expreview community member has published his benchmark results on the HD 4000 graphics found on Intel’s upcoming 22nm Ivy Bridge CPU. The CPU used was the Core i5-3570K running at 3.3GHz. It was benchmarked along with the current HD 3000 found on the Sandy Bridge Core i5-2500K and Nvidia’s GeForce GT 240 discrete graphics card.
Nvidia’s GK104 GPU and its more powerful siblings might be the talk of the town lately but there is still Nvidia’s lower lineup that people can look out for. One such GPU belonging to the lower end of the lineup is the entry-level Kepler GPU, the GK107 that is bound to replace the GeForce GT 440.
A new report has surfaced claiming that Nvidia will finally release its first Kepler GPU in March. The GPU that will be in the spotlight is the GK104 which has really been the center of discussion lately.
Nvidia again is planning to launch yet another Fermi based graphics card as If last year’s GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores wasn’t enough. The card that will now arrive as Nvidia’s last Fermi offering (hopefully) is the GTX 560 SE that is based on the GF 114 GPU.
At the height of the launch of the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores graphics card, EVGA went on and released two custom designed models – the GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores Classified and the GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores FTW. Now a third model, the GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores Classified Ultra comes out bearing higher factory OCed specs.
A GPU-Z screenshot published at Turkish site DonanimHaber has showed first concrete details about AMD’s Radeon HD 7950 graphics card based on the Tahiti Pro GPU.
The first pictures of ASUS’s much awaited Radeon HD 7970 DirectCU II graphics card have now surfaced and based on the images, the card can be seen still carrying the previous design but comes with new features tailored to bring out the Tahiti XT chip’s full potential.
Chinese AMD AIB partner Yeston is looking to release its own version of the Radeon HD 7970. In fact, the manufacturer has been reported to have been working on a cost-effective PCB design for its custom designed Radeon HD 7970 but in terms of cooling the card, it seems it didn’t let up as it has now released the first pictures of the custom cooler that it is planning on strapping on the graphics card.
A Chiphell forum member by the name of Napoleon has posted brief details regarding Nvidia’s next generation flagship card that will go head to head with AMD’s Radeon HD 7970, the GeForce GTX 680 and along with the information is the reveal that Nvidia is releasing the card around late February which is earlier compared to the initial March to April report.
Although Nvidia had the chance to showcase its Kepler GPUs at the recent CES event at Las Vegas, it decided not to. That leaves people asking more question as to when Nvidia will really launch its next generation GPUs to counter AMD’s recently launched Radeon HD 7000 series graphics cards.
