Gigabyte flagged off its Radeon HD 7950 lineup with a custom-design graphics card. Carrying the model number GV-R795WF3-3GD, the card makes use of Gigabyte’s custom-design WindForce 3 cooling solution strapped on to a more familiar-looking AMD reference design PCB that’s colored blue. The WindForce 3 cooler consists of a complex aluminum fin array that draws [...]

Only a few days left to Radeon HD 7950 release date. Multiple online stores are already preparing for orders by listing new AMD card. Gigabyte Radeon HD7950 3GB DDR5/384bit DVI/HDMI/mDP PCI-Express (GV-R795W3-3GD) Core Clock 900 MHz Memory Clock 5000 MHz AMD Radeon HD 7950 3072MB GDDR5 DVI-I HDMI Mini DisplayPort, PCI-E Retail Core Clock 800 [...]

The NVIDIA GTX 580 GPU, based on the GF110 Fermi architecture, is old but it isn’t forgotten. Released in November of 2010, NVIDIA had held the single GPU performance grown for more than a year before it was usurped by AMD and the Radeon HD 7970 just this month. Still, the GTX 580 is a [...]

It was hard not to be impressed by AMD’s first 28nm graphics card, the Radeon HD 7970. Taking the mantle of ‘world’s fastest single-GPU’, the 7970 – built around a wholly revamped architecture – tore through our benchmarks and left all previous-generation cards lying in its wake as it churned out new levels of performance [...]

Gigabyte hopped into the Radeon HD 7970 launch bandwagon with a base-model graphics card, the GV-R797D5-3GD-B. The custom-design GV-R797OC-3GD isn’t launched so far, doesn’t feature on the company website, and will probably join its ranks a little later, since it appeared to be using a custom-design PCB, something no card launched so far has. The [...]

OverclockersUK have (as always) released a pictures presenting a pyramid of boxes of new Radeons HD 7970 from MSI, HIS, Club3D, GigaByte, XFX, ASUS and Sapphire.

We have first pictures of two new Radeons HD 7970 from Gigabyte. So far Gigabyte is the first to show non-reference fan system on this graphics card. Gigabyte GB-R797OC-3GD Windforce 3X Radeon HD 7970 is a model with modified cooling build on new blue PCB with Ultra Durable VGA technology. It is most likely to [...]

While PNY is not a name we have talked about when it comes to graphic cards since 2001, these guys are still around. For the most part there is nothing special about its cards, but today we have something that is special from PNY, an out-of-the box water cooled GTX 580. Let’s see what it [...]

In the graphics card industry traditionally it has been the case that having the fastest product gave a company good PR which trickled down from enthusiasts to mainstream and then budget consumers. The thought of having something which was similar to the best available was always attractive but times have changed a little. With the [...]

Can anyone remember the last time either of the two big players introduced a new graphics card? If you think back far enough, you’ll remember it was NVIDIA with their GTX 560 (non-Ti) that was first glimpsed back in May of this year. Since then we have seen our fair share of manufacturer designed cards [...]

GIGABYTE unveiled its GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores graphics card offering, the GV-N560448-13I. This card is based on Gigabyte’s in-house GF110 Ultra Durable VGA PCB, and is cooled by its own Windforce 3X Vapor-Chamber cooler. The card sticks to NVIDIA reference clock speeds of 732/1464/950(3800) MHz core/CUDA cores/memory(effective). It packs 448 CUDA cores, and [...]

After testing two top-end graphics cards from Gigabyte and EVGA based on the Nvidia GF110 processor, we’ve got yet another same-class product to check out. This is the MSI N580GTX Lightning Xtreme Edition that was announced back in summer at Computex 2011. Before the announcement MSI offered an ordinary N580GTX Lightning but the Xtreme Edition [...]

With next generation graphics architectures still a good ways off, we’ve seen a steady stream of manufacturers introducing custom versions of current GPUs. Unfortunately these cards are meant as flagship products that make a bold statement so they are usually reserved for certain well-heeled consumers. This has led MSI, ASUS, Zotac and many others to [...]

Whether you are a gamer or work in some part of the graphics design field, its more than likely that if your motherboard has onboard graphics, it just can’t handle what developers are throwing at us these days. And VisionTek is where third party manufacturers come in to play, such as VisionTek, ASUS, Gigabyte and [...]

Today we’ll find out if two of GIGABYTE’s HD6770 Silent Cell cards can match the performance of a Radeon HD 6950. We were impressed with how this no-fan silent configuration CrossFireX setup performed. However, is it worth $280 against the falling prices of the Radeon HD 6950? Gigabyte is a hardware manufacturer and one of [...]

Gigabyte has implemented its Silent-Cell passive cooling design across multiple graphics cards, one of the notable offering being the high-end (for its time) Radeon HD 4850. The power ratings for high-end graphics cards has grown sustainably since then, so in today’s market passively cooled heatsinks tend to delegated to mid-range products such as the graphics [...]

Welcome to the second half of our 580 Faceoff. There are many high-performance graphics cards out there, and the NVIDIA GTX 580 is one of the best. Many manufacturers have made their own versions of the GTX 580, so how do we know which card to buy? We’ve already taken a look at the ASUS [...]

Today we are reviewing a new card from Gigabyte, the HD6770 Silent Cell, which is a passively cooled discrete graphics card built on a 2oz copper layer with full overclocking capabilities. Gigabyte also claim that temperatures with this design be reduced by 10% when compared against the reference solution. Is this an ideal graphics card [...]

Welcome to the first half of our 580 Faceoff. There are many high-performance graphics cards out there, and the NVIDIA GTX 580 is one of the best. Many manufacturers have made their own versions of the GTX 580, so how do we know which card to buy? This week, we’ll be taking a look at [...]

I have got to be honest with you – most of the time getting me excited for graphics cards any more is a chore. Unless we are talking about a new architecture from NVIDIA or AMD, card vendors are hard pressed to the same attention from me they used to a couple of years ago [...]
