AMD Radeon HD 6990 4GB Review

The biggest industrial of graphic card called AMD , today they introduces the fastest graphic card which has 4GB memory namely AMD Radeon HD 6990. In this the new generation of graphic card we had something a little bit different that AMD had the fastest “Graphics Card” in the form of the 5970 and had the fastest GPU thorough GTX 580. It is the good combination which provide highest performing part, beside that AMD feel quite happy with the price about the performance and features of their dual GPU model, it can refreshing the product below it. According to AMD that The AMD Radeon 6990 they will put it up against the GTX 570 and GTX 580 same like with the AMD Radeon 5970.

AMD already tests the AMD Radeon HD 6990 as well as the standard 1920×1080 graphic resolution and also cover 5760×1080 resolutions  on all products, GPU computing, 3D blu-ray, noise, power, temps, and overcooking.  As the result from the test, the AMD Radeon HD 6990 becomes the fastest performance graphic card. Not only that, it is also already test with the several pc games such as Dragon Age 2, Bullet storm, Total War: Shogun 2, and many others. The AMD Radeon HD 6990 will give you new experience on plying game, it amazing experience that ever.

Intel recalls 8 million Sandy Bridge chipsets

Intel has just confirmed a design flaw in the latest generation of its Sandy Bridge chipsets. It's stopped shipments of the new chips, and setting things straight is going to involve recalls and replacements and $700 million or so. Ouch.

The issue that Intel has identified isn't with the Sandy Bridge microprocessor itself, but rather with the SATA ports within the chipset, which are the things that talk to your hard drive or DVD drive. Over time, these ports can degrade, possibly leading to sluggish performance and eventually data loss. Unfortunately, it's not a software bug, it's a problem with the silicon chipset itself, meaning that the only way to fix it is to design a new chip and physically replace all of the effected systems. Intel says that they'll get this rolling by February, implying that the new chips will start shipping in April.

While it's good that Intel managed to catch the issue early, and only chipsets manufactured after January 9th are flawed, this is still some 8 million Sandy Bridge chipsets destined for 500 different personal computer OEMs. If you happen to have a computer with a new Sandy Bridge chipset, there's no need to panic. You'll want to replace it eventually, but you probably won't notice anything in the short term, and even in the long term, there's only about a 5% chance that something will go bad. Intel is going to be working with all of its partners to arrange for modifications or replacements of any affected systems, and although it's probably going to be a hassle for you, Intel is going to do what it can to make the process as minimally inconvenient as possible.

Intel Sandy Bridge Review

It seems that we’ve been hearing about Intel’s next-gen CPU architecture, codenamed Sandy Bridge, for the past year, and previewing motherboards and revelling in the leaks for at least four months. In fact, it reached the point where we’d said ‘Sandy Bridge’ so often in the office that it started sounded stupid – Intel’s coming in to show us its Sandy Bridge? Wouldn’t a medical professional be more appropriate, we’d joke.

However, that all ended soon after we received our first CPU samples in November and started our own testing. Our conclusions? The Sandy Bridge CPU range is incredible, and has the potential to change the entire PC industry. Intel hasn’t helped at all to convey the significance of its new line-up – the range is still branded Core i3, i5 and i7, making it hard to know whether it’s new at all. The Internet has also been awash with rumours that Sandy Bridge won’t overclock at all, or that it’s so easy to do so and the CPUs are so fast that Sandy Bridge will make the LGA1366 Core i7 range redundant – not bad for a mid-range, mid-priced CPU.

There’s a lot to explain when it comes to the new Sandy Bridge range, so we’ll endeavour to blow away the myths and deliver the facts as clearly and concisely as possible.

GeForce GTX 590 3GB Specifications

The GTX 590 3GB is equipped with two full size GF110 GPUs. As each has the maximum amount of 512 stream processors possible with the Fermi architecture, this means the GTX 590 3GB boasts a whopping count of 1,024 stream processors. With a core frequency of 607MHz, these stream processors run at 1,214MHz. Both these clock speeds are roughly 20 per cent less than those of the GTX 580 1.5GB.

The use of two full-specification GF110 GPUs also means the GTX 590 3GB boasts eight rasterisers, (2 x 4) and 32 tessellation units (2 x 16). It also sports 120 texture units (2 x 60) and 96 ROPs (2 x 48).

Meanwhile, the 3GB of GDDR5 memory is split between the two GPUs, so each GPU can still only address 1.5GB. The memory is clocked at 853MHz (3,414MHz effective), which is roughly 16 per cent lower than that of the GTX 580 1.5GB and 10 per cent lower than the GTX 570 1.3GB's RAM. The card has a combined memory bandwidth of 327.8GB/sec (2x 163.9GB/sec), running via dual 384-bit memory interfaces.

Certainly on paper it’s a tremendously capable graphics system, with the might of two full GF110 Fermi GPUs offering huge amounts of graphics potential. The fact that Nvidia has clocked the card down quite considerably in comparison to the GTX 580 1.5GB does mean that the GTX 590 3GB won’t be twice as fast as its top single-GPU offering, though.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 Claimed as World's Fastest Graphics Card

NVIDIA introduced the GeForce GTX 590, the fastest dual graphics card which also happens to be the world's quietest too. Powered by dual NVIDIA Fermi-class GPUs on a single card, the GTX 590 is designed for uber enthusiasts and those looking to build the ultimate PC gaming rig.

With a combined 1024 NVIDIA CUDA architecture cores, 3GB of GDDR5 memory, 6 billion transistors and over 2200 individual components all packed into an 11 inch dual slot card, the GTX 590 delivers a staggering 32 tessellation engines that can power today's cutting edge DX11 games at resolutions of 2560x1600 and higher. With four separate video outputs on each card, consumers can configure their PC with four independent displays, or they can span their gaming across 3 3D displays, at a resolution up to 5760x1080 for an intense, immersive, stereoscopic gaming experience utilizing NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround technology. Like all NVIDIA "DX11 Done Right" GPUs, the GTX 590 delivers the world's fastest performance for DX11 games

NVIDIA engineered the GTX 590 to be the world's quietest dual GPU product. It features a special cooling system and dual vapor chambers which deliver both astounding performance and acoustics. Measured with a standard decibel meter, the GTX 590 clocks in at 48dB, more than two times quieter than the closest competitive product under full graphics load. To the human ear, this difference means the GTX 590 delivers a 3D gaming experience that is typical of a quiet library. In comparison, the competition's product is more on par with a busy freeway.

With an estimated selling e-tail price starting at $699 USD, the GeForce GTX 590 is available starting today from the world's leading add-in card partners, including Asus, EVGA, Gainward, Gigabyte, Inno3D, MSI, POV, Palit, and Zotac.
