As an ATI user myself, I can not dismiss the fact that one of the most versatile computer components that is out today, is a Nvidia 9600GT based video card. Reason for me saying this, well it is cheap enough for just about any one on any budget for light to moderate gaming, can be used in a HTPC for Blue Ray play back, and finally can be used as a dedicated Physx card for those who wanting or needing that extra little bit in our Ageia Physx based games.
We at Bjorn3d, are going to look at ASUS’s offering of the 9600GT video card.

Earlier this year NVIDIA introduced the ION, which is their new system platform that pairs a GeForce 9400M GPU with an Intel Atom processor to make it an appealing platform for those desiring a netbook or nettop computer but are interested in a higher level of graphics performance than what is currently possible with Intel’s integrated graphics. Products using the NVIDIA ION have been slow to emerge, but in recent weeks, we have begun seeing more devices around, including those from smaller manufacturers. One company that is now selling an ION-powered nettop is ZaReason, which is a Linux-focused hardware company. In this article we have a whole arsenal of Linux-based tests showing off the NVIDIA graphics performance with the Intel Atom processor under Linux.
The HD4890 is AMD’s latest GPU that is aimed at the enthusiast market. It is positioned just above the HD4870 1 GB and its main competitor of course is the Nvidia Geforce GTX275. In this review we are taking a look at the HD4890 from HIS: the HIS HD 4890 Fan TURBO. As the name implies this is not a regular HD4890-card. Instead HIS has overclocked it by default to give us a bit more performance right out of the box.
The last few months have been very exciting here at the Club, especially in the world of graphics cards. Since the beginning of April, we have had the pleasure of not only looking at the performance of the brand new RV790 based HD4890s, which have since taken the world by storm. Of course, it was only a matter of time before the non-reference OC editions of the 4890 started making their way into the market; and as usual Sapphire is at the forefront with a wide selection of different cards to choose from.
Sapphire has four ranges for most top-end products they offer: standard, Vapor-X, Toxic, and Atomic. While each is different in its own right, for most gamers it is the Toxic design that draws the most attention. Combining the Vapor-X cooling with overclocks seen on the Atomic, the Toxic brand is the most elite air-cooled video card Sapphire offers. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the performance on the Sapphire HD4890 Toxic Vapor-X 11150-01-40R video card against many of the other best graphics accelerator solutions in the price segment. FPS tests compare frame rates between low to high-end video cards, including a pair of CrossFireX Radeon HD 4770’s.
The GTS 250 is the latest addition to the Performance class of Nvidia GPUs. It is no secret that this particular GPU is a direct descendant of the 9800GTX series of cards. The core is a G92b. The G92 has gone through a die-shrink to 55nm as opposed to the older 65nm, and thereby reduced the energy consumption and cut back on the heat a little.
Today we are taking a look at one of the latest MSI cards on the market! We got a sample of their N285GTX SuperPipe OC which has a twin fan cooler, and thicker heatpipes for better cooling. This card should clock a bit better than the others on the market with this new cooler and maybe also be a bit more silent although that remains to be seen. Lets have a closer look!
The ATI Radeon HD 4770 graphics card might cost just $109, but the card doesn’t look and perform like what many would expect out of a card in that price range. The Radeon HD 4770 was able to keep up with the Radeon HD 4850 and GeForce 9800 GTX+ in numerous benchmarks as a testament to that. For those that game in the 1280×1024 to 1680×1050 resolution range the Radeon HD 4770 should be fine for most games with average settings as our testing had the image quality cranked all the way up in almost every test and the card did fine…
AMD is making a new addition to its midrange graphics card lineup today with the introduction of the Radeon HD 4770 videocard, based on the companies first 40nm GPU, the RV740. The Radeon HD 4770 strikes a balance between performance and price, coming just under the lucrative $100 mark and slotting in nicely in terms of performance between existing Radeon 4670 and 4850 videocards. PCSTATS will break down all the numbers in a moment, but first let’s introduce the videocard sitting on the PCSTATS’ test bench today, the ASUS EAH4770 HTDI/512MD5/A.
Sometimes an industry first doesn’t mean a new champion is born. The ATI Radeon HD 4770 introduces the 40nm RV740 GPU paired to 512MB of DDR5 video frame buffer memory, and a double-height cooler allows the ATI B743 model video card to operate at 750MHz. Initially expected to sell at the $100 mark, could this be the mainstream graphics accelerator for the masses? Benchmark Reviews compares the Radeon HD4770 against a large collection of performance tests in this article.
