ASUS GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores DirectCU II Video Card @ Pro-Clockers
|
|
Now, we get to the point of this review we are conducting today. Below the GTX 670, NVidia has not bought anything new to the market. While AMD has the 78xx sitting in that upper mainstream realm. As of right now the older GTX 560 and GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores covers that area for NVidia until they release the GTX 660. Yes, the GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores is a little aged but it definitely still holds its hold when it comes to gaming. There is no game on the market that you can say this card will not give you a delightful gaming experience."

Rosewill RK-9000BR Mechanical Keyboard @ Benchmark Reviews
|
|
Having used and reviewed quite a few mechanical keyboards in the last year I have now tried out almost every type of Cherry MX switch out there except the Cherry MX Brown and Clear switches. Thankfully, in this during this review of the Rosewill RK-9000BR I was able to knock yet another switch off my list. The Cherry MX Brown switches used on the Rosewill RK-9000BR provide would be customers with the best of both Cherry MX Black, and Blue switches without the negatives of each. Benchmark Reviews will be evaluating the Rosewill RK-9000BR to see how these switches hold up to daily use and what they are like to use for an extended amount of time when compared to their red, black, and blue counterparts."

EVGA GeForce GTX 690 review
|
|
We review the EVGA GeForce GTX 690. The GTX 690, in a nutshell, NVIDIA took two of their best (Kepler GK104) GPUs, placed them onto one card, topped it off with a very nice and dandy cooler and called this symbiosis of components a single solution graphics card. Internally on that card a small PLX chip functions as a PCI Express bridge in-between the two GPUs and sure, that means SLI is in full effect. Read the review here"

With an 180-mm intake fan and room for high-end video cards, Silverstone`s Temjin TJ08-E Evolution looks well-equipped to take on mid-tower cases. Except it`s a Micro ATX mini-tower. We take a closer look to see if size really matters."

Building a Low Cost APU System (Media, Productivity and Gaming) @ HardwareHeaven.com Recently AMD set us the challenge of building a low cost APU system to see if it would be possible to build a decent media/productivity/gaming PC on a minimal budget. It`s something different to a review which is always a nice change so we set about looking at what could be done when pretty much every component has to cost 60 or less."

LIAN LI PC-Q05 Thin Mini-ITX Chassis Review @MissingRemote
|
|
When Intel introduced the Thin Mini-ITX form factor with the DH61AG board, we were impressed with the performance and potential of the platform; however, the innovative form factor lacked any accompanying chassis to take advantage of the extra thin profile. Fortunately, that situation is changing with the introduction of LIAN LIs PC-Q05 which supports the new Thin Mini-ITX form factor. *"

Rosewill RK-8100 Gaming Keyboard Review @ ThinkComputers.org
|
|
What is a gaming keyboard? What specific requirements does a keyboard have before its considered in the gaming category? There is only one thing. Yeah, a lot of people will tell you different things like, a specific number of anti-ghosting key suppression (roll over), or the fact that it features mechanical key switches, or that the keys themselves light up, but none of these things are correct. Marketing is the only thing that defines a device as a gaming keyboard. Marketing and marketing alone is the only requirement for a regular keyboard to make the jump from standard desktop keyboard to a gaming one. In steps the Rosewill RK-8100. Rosewills claim to the best bang for buck when it comes to gaming keyboards."
