NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 @ HT4U.net
|
 Last time NVIDA launched the GeForce GTX 560 with the Ti suffix. So it was just a matter of time, until the GPU without it would also see the light of day. Today NVIDIA released the GeForce GTX 560 and in the version of ASUS as GeForce GTX 560 DirectCU II TOP it is chasing the Ti quite heavily."

AMD Zacate E-350 Performance
|
|
"From this year on, the release of each new test method will be preceded by
a series of 'pilot tests' with low-performing hardware. Because that is what
some benchmarks may behave strangely with. This time we'll use Intel Atom
and AMD Zacate for this purpose. Along with a couple of other competitors to
make things more interesting for you."

The ROCCAT Alumic is a mouse pad with two very different surface structures, for meeting the highest demands of both low and high-sense gamers.

Intel 311 Larson Creek 20GB SLC SSD Review
|
|
"The Intel SSD 311 Series 20GB 'Larson Creek' drive proved itself to be a great cache drive. If you have an Intel Z68 platform that can run Intel Smart Response Technology, it's worth looking into if you have a hard drive for the primary drive and don't want to splurge on an SSD and having to re-install your OS!

Patriot Torqx 2 128GB SSD Review
|
|
Every now and then it is refreshing to see a company that believes that rushing into the dog race of technological advance might not be as business smart as simply understanding customer needs. This is definitely the case with Patriot and their new Torqx 2 SSD that not only remains to be a SATA 2.0 drive, but also, is definitely in the price range to attract new SSD enthusiasts. In the rush to push out SATA 3, SSD manufacturers may have forgotten that 99% of computer owners are using SATA 2 systems and just might seek a SATA 2 SSD in the near future.
The Patriot Torqx 2 SSD has just been released to consumer sales and is available in capacities of 32, 64, 128 and 256GB. Patriot has listed its performance as 270MB/s read and 230MB/s write and have upped their warranty to 3 years which is great to see in a SSD although, most likely it will never be needed. At the time of this report, there was a company rebate which brought pricing to a very reasonable $74.99 (32GB), $114.99 (64GB), $199.99 (128GB) and $489.99 (256GB).

OCZ ZX 850W Power Supply Review
|
|
There is very little one could reasonable fault the ZX 850W
power supply on. Actually there’s quite a bit of things that I do like.
OCZ has put quite a bit of thought, effort and detail into this power
supply. The packaging, the paint job, wires, the clean construction
inside, everything speaks highly of OCZ’s efforts here and their
efforts are not without results. The ZX 850W isn’t only for show.
