G.Skill has launched a whole range of performance memory kits, dubbed RipjawsX for the new Intel Sandy Bridge platform. These memory modules are available in 1333MHz, 1600MHz, 1866MHz, 2133MHz, 2200MHz and 2300MHz flavors. Maximum memory capacity offered by this series is 16GB, on selected models only.
The 3DMark 11 competition held by Futuremark and the official sponsor partner of 3DMark 11, MSI will end in one week on 4th Jan 2011. The competition is hotly contested across the globe - submitted results are impressive, with more than over 108,000 qualified entries as of 20th December 2010.
MSI has launched the AMD Radeon HD 6850-based R6850 Cyclone 1GD5 Power Edition graphics card. The R6850 Cyclone uses MSI's Cyclone custom cooler, a 6+1 phase power circuitry, and offers triple over-voltage functionality. To ensure excellent overclockability, the R6850 Cyclone is equipped with MSI's Military Class II materials, consisting of Hi-C tantalum capacitors, solid capacitors and SFC high-performance chokes. A P/S Switch allows power users to switch between Performance Mode for maximum cooling performance, or Silent Mode for low noise operation.
With a stylish and eye-catching design, and a cooler with six heat pipes and triple 80mm fans that promises low temperatures and low noise levels, Gainward's new GeForce GTX 570 Phantom is arguably one of the most attractive non-reference cards out there in the market. The card was officially announced earlier today; more details after the break.
It appears that Gainward is not contented with having just one custom-built NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 card. The graphics card maker is now planning to release another non-reference product, the GeForce GTX 570 Phantom.
Corsair has announced the launch of a new, highly overclocked, low voltage memory kit. This 4GB Dominator GT memory kit, implemented using a matched pair of 2GB DIMMs, is guaranteed to operate at 2133MHz, with latency settings of 9-11-9-27, and at a memory voltage of only 1.5V.
After unexpected delays (and plenty of rumors that soon followed), AMD's Radeon HD 6970 and Radeon HD 6950 finally see the light of day. The Cayman GPU brings a new VLIW4 core design that offers better efficiency and improved tessellation performance among others. AMD has positioned the HD 6970 as the superior enthusiast GPU, while the HD 6950 is touted to be in a class of its own. But still, the burning question: can the AMD Radeon HD 6970 subdue NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 580?
