PowerColor Radeon HD 6970 LCS
|
 "This block when used in a liquid cooled system will deliver exceptional cooling performance with the card never breaking the 50 Celsius mark at 45C. What has to be the biggest advantage of the card is not what it has but what it does not have. That ungodly loud fan noise when the fan is pushed to the 100% level. No howling beast to make you wonder why you bought the card. The overclocks achieved on this card were 1021MHz on the GPU core and 1520MHz on the GDDR5 memory. Easily better than any HD 6970 I have tested, something I have to attribute to the exceptional cooling delivered by the Ek block."

MSI Radeon HD 6950 2GB Twin Frozr II Video Card Review
|
|
"It feels like it's been ages since I've tested a video card. Unfortunately I was then quick to realize that it's only been a little over a week, and became concerned that 10 days felt like an eternity. To get back into the swing of things, though, we fired up the HD 6950 from MSI which has just gotten the Twin Frozr II treatment.
The HD 6900 series runs a little warmer than the previous generation HD 5800 series, so it's good to see MSI attack the model with the Twin Frozr cooler; in this case the Twin Frozr II. Out of the box the focus has never been about a pre-overclock on this model; instead it's been all about the cooling and making sure the core is running as cool as possible while not being too loud."

MSI GeForce GTX 560 Twin Frozr II 1 GB
|
|
MSI's GeForce GTX 560 Twin Frozr II comes with MSI's own cooling solution, which does a great job at keeping the card cool. Even with heavy voltage increases, the temperatures never rose above 80°C. For maximum performance MSI has overclocked the card out of the box - at no price increase compared to the reference design.

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2Win Dual GPU Review @ Hardware Canucks
|
|
Dual GPU cards are rarities these days since the amount of time, effort and engineering capital that needs to be dedicated towards designing one is substantial. While most board partners usually avoid designing these high end niche products, EVGA has jumped into the pool head first with their new GTX 560 Ti 2Win. Packing a pair of GF114 cores and 2GB of memory, this new card should have what it takes to effectively bridge the gap between NVIDIA`s GTX 580 and GTX 590."

MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition Review
|
|
The product we’ll be looking at today is the MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III. As its name suggests, the R6950 Twin Frozr III is powered by AMD’s Radeon HD 6950 GPU and the card sports MSI’s third-generation Twin Frozr cooler. MSI did more with the R6950 Twin Frozr III than swap the reference cooler with one of their own design, however. The R6950 Twin Frozr III is outfitted with a custom PCB and has a couple of other interesting additions as well. Check out the specs and then we’ll move on to some of the more juicy details, benchmarks, and some overclocking action...

The NVIDIA CUDA 4.0 Tech Report.
|
|
What's CUDA? It's short for Compute Unified Device Architecture, a
proprietary parallel computing architecture developed by NVIDIA. It
allows NVIDIA graphics cards to be used as general purpose processors
- game physics being the key application for most of us.
First released in February 2007, it has since matured to Release 3.2,
and will soon be available as Release 4.0. Let's take a look at what's
new in CUDA Release 4.0.

HIS Radeon HD 6970 Turbo FAN 2GB review
|
|
We have a look at a Radeon HD 6970 based on the reference design, yet the TURBO model from HIS as this R6970 comes factory clocked. Although we expected a little more in frequencies for a product tagged Turbo, this R6970 comes factory clocked at 900MHz and with a memory clock of 5,600MHz.
But ah well, we'll bring the card quite close to a nice manual overclock, and that my friends means added value on what seems to be a very interesting product. Check out the review right here.
