Today we will be talking about Point of View's GeForce GTX 470, a card that by now certainly needs no introduction. Both these GeForce GTX 470 and GeForce GTX 480 are aimed at high-end market and are the Radeon HD 5800 series direct competitors. NVIDIA launched their GeForce GTX 400 series more than a month ago, and the cards are based on the largest and fastest Fermi graphics core. We expected the GeForce GTX 480 to get the full version of the GF100 but NVIDIA thought differently and it ended up with one disabled streaming multiprocessor. Going downstream to the GeForce GTX 470, this card has two disabled and 448 stream processors in total. And what happened to the full version? - FudZilla
Well we have has just released a new version of NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) software. NiBiTor is the original and definitive BIOS tweaker that supports the latest NVIDIA graphics cards, and which is updated on a regular basis. NiBiTor allows graphics card enthusiasts, or the hardcore overclockers to have full control over some advanced features and functionality found on firmware of supporting cards. And doing so users gain some extra performance, enable certain hidden features, tweaking memory latencies, provide extensive information, adapt bootup settings, changing fan speed options and/or get extra stability on their NVIDIA based graphics accelerators which will just give them that little extra value.
Galaxy's new GeForce GTX 470 GC edition graphics card offers a unique solution to a common problem for hardware enthusiasts. There are new features such as higher clock speeds, a custom PCB design, and something called a detachable flip fan you will want to see. We compare single and SLI gameplay performance against AMD. Today marks the premier launch of a brand new video board from Galaxy based on the latest NVIDIA signed Fermi architecture. Specifically, this is a brand new GeForce GTX 470 based card that has been custom re-designed by Galaxy. This unique graphics card aims to separate itself from other GeForce GTX 470 cards by offering some unique cooling and features. - HardOCP
Our interests today goes fully towards this Gainward GeForce GTX 480, currently the fastest single GPU graphics card. Of course, we are talking about an Fermi GF100 based board announced about a month ago. Fermi is the family name for the latest generation of GPU's from NVIDIA, and naturally comes with DirectX 11 support. This first Fermi derivative is the GF100 chipset, being NVIDIA's internal codename for the first Fermi based chip that is used for the high-end GeForce GTX 400 series cards. With above three billion transistors in 40nm, the GF100 is the largest graphics processor ever to be announced. Unlike ATI, this is the first time NVIDIA used GDDR5 memory on its high-end cards. - FudZilla
The Radeon HD 5850 is ATI's video card of choice for the gamer on a budget. It takes over where last generation's price to performance darling, the Radeon HD 4850, left off. It's also happens to be in the highest echelon of AMD's new Vision platform initiative, where it's paired with AMD 890FX based motherboards and Phenom II X6 processors. While an standard Radeon HD 5850 board is exciting enough to get us perked up and paying attention, ASUS has brought its special sauce to the table with a special edition called the TOP DirectCu. Speeds aren't the only thing which ASUS changed, however they have done a great rework on the cooling solution and some serious upfront component screening. - PCStats
The Radeon HD 5970 Toxic card from Sapphire has got a bit more coverage than usual when it comes to looking at a video card, the main reason for this is that not only are there limited amounts of the model around the world, but also it's the world's fastest video card thanks to some insane stock clocks on the model. Today we're back with the model and what we want to find out from the model is if we can overclock past what it's already very high default clocks are set at. The fact that we are writing this article means we could get a bit of extra power from the model, otherwise we wouldn't be wasting any time here. The question is, how far did we actually get and did we somehow break a record? - TweakTown
Seems like we've been waiting for these new GeForce GTX 400's for an long time now. And NVIDIA gave us a first glimpse at its latest GPU architecture about half a year ago, right around the time that AMD was introducing its Radeon HD 5870. In the intervening six months, AMD has fleshed out its Radeon HD 5000 series with an full suite of DirectX 11 class GPU chips and graphics cards. Meanwhile, NVIDIA's own GF100 chip is just later than a stoner to study hall. Fortunately, our wait is coming to an end. These GeForce GTX 470 and GeForce GTX 480 are expected to be available soon, and we have wrangled several for testing. We can say with confidence that the GF100 is nothing if not fascinating. - TechReport
We've learned a lot about the GF100 architecture from NVIDIA over the past year, and after what seemed like an eternal wait, the company has officially announced the first two cards as part of these series, the GeForce GTX 470 and GeForce GTX 480 versions. The past six months have been rather difficult for both NVIDIA and consumer alike, as both sides have been eagerly awaiting the launch of the company's first Fermi based graphics cards. So now the long wait is over though, and AMD's Radeon HD 5800 series finally has some competition. Given the extra time NVIDIA spent on their GF100 release, can we expect that its latest releases can give the Radeon HD 5800 series a good run for its money? - Techgage
Cougar is the new retail brand for power supplies from HEC Compucase. Started in 1979 HEC Compucase is one of the few real manufacturers and developer of power supplies. Cougar started in 2009 and already received worldwide recommendations. And now it is coming to Benelux. Cougar power supplies are known for their high-quality inside but also for their orange design. From 80-Plus bronze to gold, up to 1200W, for every situation the perfect power supply. - Cougar
So only a few months ago AMD released their newest Radeon HD 5800 series of graphics cards which quickly became a big success simply due to the numerous improvements made over previous generations. Up to recently all cards available from all manufacturers were reference design boards which means they were all made to the same specifications, using the same components and then a sticker was added on the cooler depending on the brand. Now we are seeing more and more custom designed Radeon HD 5850 cards that use a non reference cooler and PCB design. While this allows for considerable production optimizations and reduction in cost, it also risks that it might not work as optimally. - techPowerUp
Well DirectX 11 and the Radeon HD 5000 series have finally hit the mainstream market in the form of the Radeon HD 5670 graphics card. Priced at $99, it's the most affordable way to experience DirectX 11 features like hardware tessellation and compute shaders. Gigabyte has designed an slightly overclocked version of the Radeon HD 5670 graphics card, which bears the OC suffix. ATI has produced several sweet spot cards over the past year, and through aggressive pricing and new manufacturing techniques ATI has managed to get all of these video cards into that $100-150 range that bring excellent gaming performance at a fair price. Will the Radeon HD 5670 be worthy to join such hallowed company? - PCStats
