As its name implies the graphics card utilizes MSIs proprietary TwinFrozr III cooling system that packs 8mm thick nickel-plated copper heatpipes to convey heat drawn directly from the GPU to a large aluminum fin array ventilated by two 80 mm fans. http://www.guru3d.com/article/msi-radeon-hd-7870-twinfrozr-iii-oc-review/ Videocards http://www.guru3d.com/article/msi-radeon-hd-7870-twinfrozr-iii-oc-review/ Fri, 18 May 2012 00:00:00 +1000 We review the Antec 1000W HCP Platinum power supply. tly they submitted their all new HCP High Current Pro 1000W power supply. Their gold model has been selling for a year now but is replaced with this version. It was further improved and got a 80 plus Platinum certification meaning the PSU can pimp and show off its most efficient power supply label available in this bizz. http://www.guru3d.com/article/antec-1000w-hcp-platinum-power-supply-review/ PSU - Power Supply Units http://www.guru3d.com/article/antec-1000w-hcp-platinum-power-supply-review/ Wed, 16 May 2012 00:00:00 +1000 The new model PC Power & Cooling power supply is their Silencer Mk II series of PSU's. It's the 'bloke' PSU series again with a simple design and hey -- nothing is modular so the PSU certainly is a squid inside your system with all the tentacles wires but yeah .. lots of you don't really care about cable management they just want the best of the best and sure ...as you'll learn you can't really complain about the essence that is the Mk II Silence 750W power supply. http://www.guru3d.com/article/pc-power-and-cooling-silencer-mkii-750w-psu-review/ PSU - Power Supply Units http://www.guru3d.com/article/pc-power-and-cooling-silencer-mkii-750w-psu-review/ Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:00 +1000 We review the EVGA GeForce GTX 670 SC aka SuperClocked edition graphics card. The product comes pre-overclocked at 967 MHz on the baseclock and 1046 MHz on the boost clock. Let's have a peek at what it has to offer. http://www.guru3d.com/article/evga-geforce-gtx-670-sc-review/ Videocards http://www.guru3d.com/article/evga-geforce-gtx-670-sc-review/ Sat, 12 May 2012 00:00:00 +1000 We review the ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II TOP edition. The DirectCU II TOP editions come factory overclocked pretty intensely towards 1058 MHz on the GPU base clock and a whopping 1137 MHz on the boost frequency. Even with that factory overclock the card remains completely silent. Check out this review. http://www.guru3d.com/article/asus-geforce-gtx-670-directcu-ii-top-review/ Videocards http://www.guru3d.com/article/asus-geforce-gtx-670-directcu-ii-top-review/ Thu, 10 May 2012 00:00:00 +1000 We review the GeForce GTX 670 in both 2 and 3-way SLI. ASUS submitted their GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II in two-fold we add a reference card and that means multi-GPU gaming gangsta style Over the next few pages we'll tell you a bit about multi-GPU gaming the challenges the requirements and of course there'll be a nice tasty benchmark session. We'll have a peek at temperatures and power consumption of the GeForce GTX 670 cards in 3-way SLI mode to monitor its generated performance and look at its handicaps. http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-670-2-and-3way-sli-review/ Videocards http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-670-2-and-3way-sli-review/ Thu, 10 May 2012 00:00:00 +1000 We review the Palit GeForce GTX 670 JetStream graphics card. the JetStream version which comes pre-overclocked at 1006 MHz on the baseclock and an impressible 1084 MHz on the boost clock. More interestingly the boost clock during our test sessions was actually closer to 1200 MHz most of the time . To give the card enough framebuffer to work with the cards are equipped with 2048 GDDR5 on a 256-bits wide bus. Palit clocks this memory at 6108 MHz. http://www.guru3d.com/article/palit-geforce-gtx-670-jetstream-review/ Videocards http://www.guru3d.com/article/palit-geforce-gtx-670-jetstream-review/ Thu, 10 May 2012 00:00:00 +1000 We review the GeForce GTX 670. NVIDIA disabled a couple of shader processors and designed a more cost effective and smaller PCB. The card itself is still quite beefy in terms of performance though which you'll understand once we sifted through the specifications. The GK104 GPU based graphics card has one SM/SMX cluster disabled. This gives the GK104 GPU 1344 CUDA cores to work with. http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-670-review/ Videocards http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-670-review/ Thu, 10 May 2012 00:00:00 +1000 We review the MSI Radeon HD 7970 Lightning. What a product to look at the R7970 lightning has a very rare design comes with only the best components has voltage monitoring headers comes pre-overclocked extensively and allows to be voltage tweaked at many levels. To pursue Eyefinity they have made the card Eyefinity6 compatible by use of four DisplayPort connectors and two single link DVI connectors you can get six monitors running. Though realistically nobody does that as you have that ugly bezel from left to right smack down in the middle of you field of view. There's another feature though to give the product a little more 'niche' MSI implemented a small add-on board that is called a GPU-reactor which functions as a power supply module which when installed on the back of the GPU. http://www.guru3d.com/article/msi-radeon-hd-7970-lightning-review/ Videocards http://www.guru3d.com/article/msi-radeon-hd-7970-lightning-review/ Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +1000 We review the Palit GeForce GTX 680 4GB Jetstream edition. Why 4 GB Well some of you like to game at extremely high resolutions or have 8xAA as a bare minimum. If a graphics card runs out of graphics memory it'll starts swapping frames back and forward in that framebuffer which decreases the overall framerate. So today we'll look at the 4GB model we'll specifically place a focus at some tests at 2560x1600 with a good chunk of AA enabled to see what difference the extra 2GB graphics memory will bring us in terms of performance. http://www.guru3d.com/article/palit-geforce-gtx-680-4gb-jetstream-review/ Videocards http://www.guru3d.com/article/palit-geforce-gtx-680-4gb-jetstream-review/ Tue, 08 May 2012 00:00:00 +1000
