GIGABYTE, a leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, introduces a powerful new addition to its Super Overclock Series: GTX 470 SOC (GV-N470SO-13I). To qualify for Super Overclock Series, a GPU must go through GIGABYTE’s innovative GPU Gauntlet Sorting process and it must be equipped with Ultra Durable VGA or VGA+ boards. Designed specifically for [...]

Oh dear, a little birdie just flew in with some information and photo’s. Looks like the MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone release was just a prologue. As you guys know the GeForce GTX 460 is a big success in terms of value for money. On launch date we have seen a couple of customized boards [...]

It seems all of the latest news surrounding NVIDIA and its partners these days pertains to the GTX 460 launch. While this is a pretty impressive product for its price point, we have seen interest of course shift away from the high end NVIDIA products. Now that the GTX 480 has been out for four [...]

One more photo was spotted at expreview, a new GeForce GTX 480 model that features the full 512 shaders processors. The card has the same frequencies on core, shaders and memory as the reference GeForce GTX 480. As the screenshot shows, the yellow tantalum capacitors cover the PCB , the card uses a 8 phase [...]

Although the NVIDIA GeForce 400 series has been out for about 2 months now, it’d seem the jury is still out on whether or not the series is a success. Some will tell you the GeForce GTX 480 is a power-hungry expensive GPU that failed to deliver, while others claim it lived up to the [...]

There seems to be a single-slot ATI Radeon HD 5700 series trend going on, with XFX designing two single-slot ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics cards, a base model (HD-577X-ZMF3), and an Eyefinity-5 model (HD-577X-Z5F3). Both cards use PCB and cooler designed by XFX. The cooler particularly looks familiar in design to the countless single-slot GeForce [...]

I think it is fairly safe to say that the introduction of the GeForce GTX 470/480 certainly has not been a smooth ride for NVIDIA. Sales have been okay at best but there has definitely been some reputation damage done due to three key negatives with that product series. Heat levels, noise levels and power [...]

The GeForce GTX 460 was easily the most well received Fermi-based graphics card to come from NVIDIA thus far; using the GF104 GPU that was tweaked slightly to target the graphics markets rather than the high-performance computing fields the GTX 460 turned out to be more power efficient compared to AMD’s GPUs. Add to that [...]

Since the introduction of the Fermi architecture nearly a year ago, we have known that NVIDIA really designed the GPU from the ground up for their Quadro and Tesla lines of products. The Tesla products are mostly server-based and aimed at the HPC (high performance computing) areas while the Quadro line is targeted at those [...]

Two days after reports surfaced about NVIDIA readying the GeForce GTS 450 mainstream graphics SKU for a late August launch, PCInLife got a hold of the PCB’s x-ray drawings, which reveals quite a bit about the GF106 GPU the GTS 450 is based on. The PCB reveals a square GPU that is bordered on three [...]

When the GTX 400 series cards launched in March 2010, consumers were greeted with a new architecture that met our expectations, and NVIDIA lovers finally had an alternative to the ATi HD 5000 series. NVIDIA stole back the single GPU performance crown, also made their footprint on tessellation with very impressive results. CUDA cores were [...]

After treating the enthusiast community to the Republic of Gamers (ROG) ARES Dual HD 5870 graphics accelerator, ASUS isn’t wasting any time is designing its successor, referred to (for now) as “MARS II”. This graphics accelerator uses two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 (GF100) GPUs on one board, that’s right, the first dual-GPU accelerator based on [...]

It is a normal trend for us to see both NVIDIA and ATI take their current generation GPU designs and shrink them down for lower cost and lower performing markets. For example, we first saw the G84 GPU from NVIDIA (known as the 8600 series of GPUs) just about 5 months after the release of [...]

When the GeForce GTX 480 and 470 launched earlier this year opinion was split on just how good they were in comparison to the existing Radeon 5000 series. For those who look specifically at framerates the cards compared well with the equivalent ATI models, though the GeForces were not as successful on the value front. [...]

At the very end of May we saw NVIDIA’s first effort to expand Fermi beyond the $300 space with the GeForce GTX 465, a further cut-down GF100 core priced at launch at $279. Unfortunately for NVIDIA, it wasn’t even a lackluster launch – while GF100 performs quite well with most of its functional units enabled [...]

NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 460 1GB-GDDR5 graphics card empowers DirectX-11 video games to deliver unmatched geometric realism at the $200 price point.
