AMD Radeon HD 6970 2GB
The Cayman XT GPU of the AMD Radeon HD 6900-series is a different design to that of the end units, which allow for twice as much work per clock to be sent to the stream processors than before. Although there are 64 fewer stream processors in the GPU than in the AMD’s previous –generation top-end card , the Radeon HD 5870 1HB each processor is capable of the high-precision maths that only a fifth of the HJD 5870 1GBs units could manage.
AMD claims that the new lay out is 10 percent faster per square millimeter of GPU die than that of the HD 5870 1GB. Despite the naming of AMD’s HD 6900 series this GPU is successor to the HD 5870 1GB. The GPU has a frequency of 880MHz and 2GB of GDDR5 RAM operating at 1.375GHz (5.5GHz effective) over a 265-bi memory interface. This may sound paltry compared with the 384-bit interfaces of the GTX 570 1.3GB, and the GeForce GTX 580 1.5GB but the high memory frequency gives the HD 6970 2GB a respectable 176GB/sec of memory bandwidth.
At 1920x1080 the HD 6970 2GB traded blows with the GTX 570 1.3GB which currently costs less. In Armall, we saw identical minimum frame rates from both cards, while Black Ops ran similarly fast on both cards, with minimum of 95fps from the Radeon and of 94 fps from the GeForce. The GTX 570 1.3GB raced
Intel Core i7-990X Extreme Edition
The has been so much fuss about Intel’s new LGA 1155 processors recently that its easy to forget about Intel’s other range of LGA 1366 CPUs. Intel actually pitches its X58 chipset and corresponding CPUs as its high-end offerings; theoretically, this means they reside above Sandy Bridge-based processors in the performance tree.
As we’ve seen, though LGA 1155 CPUs and motherboards are incredibly quick and outrageously overclockable, and can put their LGA 1366 stablemates to shame.
Processors at the top of the range such as the Core i7-970 and Core i7-980xExtreme Edition sport sic Hyper-Threaded cores, allowing them to perform better than LGA 1155 CPUs in highly multi-threaded applications. It’s to this elite group of processors that Intel’s new release, the Core I7-990X Extreme edition belongs.

Teufel Concept D 500 THX
Most of PC speakers aim for maximum bang per buck: ear splitting top volume, booming bass a rock-bottom price seem to be the features that sell. Into the crowd of boy racers, Teufel’s latest 2.1 set glides into view like an Aston Martin, albeit with German plates.
Teufel speakers are only available direct from Berlin , which helps to keep down costs. However at £449, this is the most expensive 2.1 PC speaker system we’ve seen to date
It looks every bit as good as the price suggests elegant and understated, with a premium finish. There’s a solitary analogue stereo input and its deserves a signal from a high-fidelity sound card to do the speakers justice. And S/PDIF input would have offered a work around, but those who already own a decent sound card will be thankful not to have to shell out for another premium DAC chip. Unfortunately, there are no speakers cables include in the box.
The wired remote has volume and sub woofer level controls, although the latter is calibrated too high by default. Useful settings were around 10per cent and the ratcheted design made fine adjustments imprecise. The remote also houses a headphone output and microphone input a socket on the subwoofer passes the microphone signal to the sound card. The integrates headphone amp sounded clear with plenty of headroom, but emitted a violent clunk while switching on and off.
Tutorial: Super-Cool Your Graphics Card
Funny isn’t it, how CPUs get all the cooling attention? There they are, sitting in blissful tranquility beneath 8-inch heatsinks without a care in the world, while their GPU friends sat next to them sweat their bits off, desperately trying to keep up with metro 2033.
What’s more, it’s much easier to overclock your graphics card than your CPU. No messing about with the BIOS, just load up MSI Afterburner or, whatever software bundled with your drivers, and you can muck about with the core and shader clocks, memory speeds and even those dreaded voltage settings. Indeed if you’re overclocking with a view to higher gaming frame rates, you may well find a more stable performance increase from tweaking your graphics card’s settings than either CPU or RAM.
And yet for some reasons graphics cards rarely get any after market loving. A quick, cheap cooler upgrade can potentially halve idle and load.
Sapphire Edge HD Mini PC
Journey with me through the recesses of time, if you will, back to 2007. If u recall, the PC enthusiasts was being all enthusiastic about the Asus Eee PC, a cute little ‘netbook’ with solid state storage and an unprecedented price point under $500
Since then manufacturers have been going crazy trying to redefine our relationship with portable and home computing, flogging US giant iPhone, consoles-like media centre beasts and notebooks small enough for a jockey’s bum bag.
Is the Sapphire Edge HD a PC? Without any optical drive, it certainly isn’t a thoroughbred media centre, but its netbook-like CPU and GPU capabilities mean it falls a little way short of what you’d normally deem ‘PC’ and as portable as the tiny little black box is at a diminutive 193x148x22m, the end user is going to be singing it beneath the warm glow of the telly or in the office, rather than carting a wheelbarrow full of peripherals down to Costa Coffee to get a few chapters done. It’s a versatile if not entirely mobile, creature then-as suited to being in the front room as part of your media centre as it is in the office, watching you add another row to the great, sprawling spreadsheet of your life.

Intel Core i5 2500T, The Low-powered Gaming Console
We’ve already had a good look at the Intel Core i5 2500K processor; it’s getting a reputation as the go-to-guy if your budget won’t quite stretch to a 2600K but u still want a Sandy Bridge gamer’s chip.
Although its getting all the attention as a flag ship chip in the second generation Core i5 line-up there are a couple of other interesting family members. Not because of their overclocking ability- they don’t really don’t have much without K moniker-no it’s because they’re low-power chips. The most interesting one of these low-powered chips is the Core i5 2500T
It’s the ‘T’ part of the name that’s the important bit; it means that the chip has a TDP of just 45Watts. That may still sound like a fair old chunk of power with AMD’s Fusion E-530 running at ust 18W but it’s a remarkable 50Watts lower than the 2500K . And with a hell of a lot of extra performances too.
On the flip side, unlike the 2500K, the multipliers aren’t unlocked so there’s not a lot you can to improve on the default 2.3GHz clock speed. It’s not the only lower power member of the family there’s also the 2500S. The s series of chips have slightly higher TDP’s of 65Watts.
Usually when you see the words low power next to a CPU it tends to bring up the thoughts of enfeebled performance.
BenQ XL2410T Zowie Special Edition, A Screen Made For Gamers…
The world of gaming peripherals is odd-everyone bemoans the gamer tax’, whereby manufacturers seem to charge an extra 20% for gaming gear, and yet they are increasingly turning to professional gamers to help design that hardware. We may be doing Emil ‘HeatoN’ Christensen (dubbed the best Counter-Strike player in the world) and Abdisamad ‘SpawN’ Mohammed (12-times worldwide Counter-Strike champion) a disservice but we doubt if they have many qualifications in display device design. Yet these two CS players have been roped into help BenQ to design its first gaming- specific screen, the XL2410T
The end result is a feature list that reads a little like the disastrous car that Homer designed for his brother Herb. For example, there’s a DisplayMode feature that replicates the screen size of smaller screen pixel for pixel-the screen can display anything from 71in, 5:4 upwards, complete with black borders. The reasoning behind this is that professional gaming tournament players use different screens and witching from a 24in 1920x1080 screen to a much smaller one could throw your game. SpawN and HeatoN wanted to practice at home on a screen that was the same size as that used in a forthcoming tournament to familiarize themselves with it, but this feature will be genuinely useful for few other people.
The XL2410T is bundled with a Zowie EC1 mouse and a Zowie Swift plastic-topped mousepad. The mouse is reminiscent of a Razer DeatAdder crossed with Microsoft IntelliMouse and is designed by HeatoN. It works well with th
AMD RADEON HD 6990 4GB, The Dual GPU Graphics Card
AMD’s brand-new range-topping. Antilles-architecture Radeon HD 6990 4GB. It’s a goliath of graphics card that packs 2 GPUs and it’s capable of consuming unprecedented 450W of power.
The card is measuring in at a case-busting 305mm long, features two, full-fat Caymen XT GPUs, the same as those found in AMD’s fastest single-GPU card. The Radeon HD 6970 2GB. This means that it boasts a whopping 3,072 stream processors and as each GPU is serviced by 2BG of GDDR5 memory, there’s 4GB of memory on the card. The card’s clock speeds are a little lower than those of the HD 6970 2GB by the memory at 1,25GHz. That’s a colossal amount of graphics horsepower for a single card to contain.
For a star the HD 6990 4GB take the PCI Express 2.0 specifications which limits expansion cards to consuming 300W of power, and chucks in out the window. By default, the HD 6990 4GB draws up to 375W of power- up to 75W from the motherboard and 150W from each the two 8-pin PCI-E power connectors on the top of the card. While this means t
IDAPT i4 The Universal Charger
The IDAPT i4 is a universal charger that can accommodate up to 4 mobile devices simultaneously. This is useful if you own multiple gadgets and forever misplacing their chargers.
It’s said to be compatible with more than 4,000 devices, including iphone, ipad, blackberry handsets, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, satnavs, cameras and Bluetooth products.
It features three charging points that use a simple, customizable and interchangeable tip system. Its neater solutions than the usual tangled jumble of cables hanging out of your power sockets.
The IDAPT i4 looks good in its own right, smart and glossy like the gadget themselves. It’s available in 11 colors too,
The problem with such and inclusive product is that in hitting so many bases it specializes in none. It’s unlikely that you will own an iPhone as well as Samsung, Nokia and Sony Ericsson.
My family owns two iPhones, two iPods and and iPad plus a couple of canon cameras that require proprietary charges. The IDAPT could charge just 2 of our devices at a time
HIS ATI Radeon HD 6950
ATI’s new 6950 design sees the implementation of narrower stram processor unit. This allows room for an increased number of SIMD engines – the 6950 has 22, while 6870 has just 14 and even 5870 had only 20. In other words, the card is more efficient and can quickly render graphics.
This architecture gives the 6950 and 6970 fewer stream processors. Whereas the Radeon 5870 boasted 1600, the 6970 offers 1536 and the 6950 has 1048.
But its worth remembering that the number of stream processors isn’t crucial- the high-calibre nVidia Geforce GTX 580 has just 512.Ample compensation comes with the significantly larger number of texture units. The 6950 has 88 of these- eight more than 5870 and 24 over the GTX 580.
The 6950 may be cheaper than its 6970 brother, but it include 2GB of GDDR5 RAM – nVidia’s 580 comes with a ‘mere’ 1536 MB-and an 800MHz core clock.
The memory clock is 1,250 MHz and the 160GBps memory bandwidth is superior to the GTX
ASRock Fatal1ty P67 Professional, A True Gamer
Ready for
Intel’s P67 chipset shouldn’t be glossed over, though. It sports a native SATA 6GB/s controller and DMI2, which doubles the bandwidth available for communication between the CPU and the rest of the system. It also lets manufacturers do away with ancient BIOS interface- More on that later.
The P67 Professional has four DIMM sockets supporting 32GB of DDR3, and six of its ten SATA sockets are of the 6Gb/s variety. There are three PCI express x16 slots; with 2 graphics cards both will run at x8 while the third slot runs at x4.
The bottom of the board offers a USB 3 header, four USB 2 connectors and a floppy disk header, plus power and audio plugs. Enthusiast will appreciate power and reset button and the two-character POST display. There are plenty of fan connectors, with sic in total and two with pulse-width modulation (PWM)
It’s cramped but ASRock has kept things usable: a clear CMOS button makes up for the fact that the CMOS battery is slotted between sockets, and ASRocks has include LGA 7
Tutorial:How To Overclock : Intel Core i7-980X
This is a tutorial which will show you how to overclock your Intel Core i7-920 processor. This will make your PC run up to 23% Faster In Games and 29% Faster In Apps
What is Overclocking?
Overcolcking is the practices which increase the frequency in which PC components operate which results in increasing their performance. A few years back the method of overclocking was kept as a sole preserve of those with highly specialised knowledge. But it’s actually very easy to do. This step by step guide will show you how to boost your PC capabilities to the maximum
Materials Required (hardwares similar to these capabilities can also get the work done)
· Triple-channel DDR3 RAM- To push the maximum out of your CPU, you need a high frequency memory. A1,600 MHz kit will be superior for overclocking

Tutorial: How To Overclock Nvidia Geforce GTS 450 1GB
Before We Start
Before we start the overclocking process, first we need to check whether the PC is running smoothly. Use GPU-Z to monitor the temperature and frequencies of your card. After that you can run a software called stress-test. If your graphics card’s frequencies go down or any temperature exceeds more than 70 degrees either the cooler isn’t attached properly or there may be more serious issues.
Next you should download the latest driver from NVIDIA’s website and install it. If u want u can back up your data before overclocking, but I recommend that u should back up the data.
Actually What Is Overclocking ?
GPUs are very complicated processors, and as such, AMD and NVIDIA have to set a conservative default frequency in order to produce sufficient quantities to meet the demand of hit price points. This means that there is a hidden strength which can be unlocked.
Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti
The new Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti does’nt stay far from its older brothers, GTX 580 and 570. The GF114 core is a reworking of the GF110 and its changes echo those made to last year’s GTX 460. Instead of GTX 580’S four and the GTX 570’s three graphics processing cluster’s otherwise known as GPC with 32 stream processors each, the new GTX 560 Ti uses 48 strong GPCs with a core clocked at 822MHz. The shader clock is a very high 1,640MHz and the 1GB of GDDR5 memory runs at a speed of 4,000MHz.
The fusion of higher clock speeds, reorganized stream processors and efficient transistors pushed the GTX 560 Ti to score high!. Its average is 40fps in our 1920x1080 Very High Quality Crysis test. That’s 8fps behind the GTX 570, and only 3fps behind the ATI Raedon HD 6950 £20 more. This Cool gadget also managed to score 32fps with 8x anti-aliasing, before storming through our just cause 2 test. An average of 65fps in the 1920x1080 Very High test with 8x anti-aliasing is 20fps faster than HD 6950.
The GTX 560 Ti stays cool and quiet with a decent idle temperature of 43°C that rose to 78ºC at peak.
The place where Nvidia scores higher than ever is in their pricing. They prices it at 203 pounds inc VAT, it’s cheaper than its rivals HD 6950 & HD6970 which costs around

Android .VS. Windows Mobile 6.5
HTC have us a fine oppurtunity in selecting phone with the same specification, but different OS - HTC Tattoo with Android and HTC Touch 2 with Widows Mobile 6.5. There is no better ground for comparison than these two devices. Both smartphones are based on the same platform, Qualcomm MSM7225 processor with 528 MHz of clock speed, intergrated with the amount of memory, air interfaces, cameras, and even an FM-tuner.
Interface for both devices is actually the same - it's HTC's Sense. However, the differences between Android and Windows Mobile are uniquely great. The similarity, in fact, is only the main screen. In Windows Mobile Sense it is a set of windows which can be browsed through the horizontal swipes or using icon . The displayed applets can be customized; however we
