nVidia released its new entry-level GeForce 9600 GSO without any drum beating. The card features a scaled down 9600 GT GPU that runs at 550Mhz with its 384MB memory at 800Mhz – however its unified shaders are clocked at 1375Mhz.
If you own an older Mac Pro and want to upgrade your video to the latest and greatest, you’ll finally be able to do just that. Back in January Apple made the Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT an option for the newly revamped Mac Pro’s, but strangely no standalone version was released for the older generation [...]
I received the VisionTek Radeon HD 3870, which happens to be the first DX10 card we’ve reviewed here at SlashGear. Unfortunately this means that we do not have a suitable card to compare benchmarks to. Don’t worry though, we’ll have more in the future for comparison.
Asus may have taken that whole CrossFireX multi-GPU thing a little too far. This concept card packs in three RV670 cores and offers up 4 DVI ports.
I know that when the first iteration of Quad SLI came out, it was the hot thing. Every boutique PC manufacturer was clamoring for the ability to offer it, and the few that got it sold those things like hotcakes, these days however, things aren’t going so well on the Quad SLI front.

PC gamers generally care about two things when it comes to their computer. They’re want to have the latest and greatest hardware, and they want it to run nice and cool. Unfortunately those two things don’t always go hand-in-hand, which is why you sometimes need to turn to a company like CoolIT for a [...]
The best part about the 4GHz is that you get it times two, you see the SkullTrail platform is based on server boards repurposed for gaming, so most of them have two processor sockets in them. MainGear is sticking an Intel QX9775 Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor in each socket.
We knew that Nvidia had some big plans when they announced the acquisitions of PhysX creator Ageia. I honestly thought that this would be one of those things that moved slowly, with no real news for several months at the earliest. However, Nvidia has hit the ground running with this and is already working on [...]
Maingear is a new company to me, but apparently they make boutique, one off custom gaming PC’s. Word on the streets is they are pretty good at it too since NVIDIA entrusted them to make the computers that they sent around to the press to show off their new 3-way SLI system.
