The Current State Of Graphics Cards, In A Photo

11:41PM John Herrman | Confusing, meaningless name? Check. Ostentatious styling added by a third party, completely unsuited for a component that you often can’t see? Check. Bizarre, irrelevant marketing claims? Oh, check. More »

Photoshop CS 4 Will Use Your Graphics Card to Run at Light Speed, Do Fancy 3D Tricks

8:30AM Matt Buchanan | The next version of Photoshop (CS 4) will be juicing up performance by taking advantage of hardware it hasn’t tapped before: graphics cards and physics processors. How much faster is the new 64-bit, GPU-injected Photoshop? At a demo at Nvidia’s HQ, TG Daily watched “the presenter playing with a 2 GB, 442 megapixel image like it was a 5 megapixel image on an 8-core Skulltrail system. Changes made through image zoom and through a new rotate canvas tool were applied almost instantly.” More »

6:30AM Sean Fallon | Fujitsu is set to launch an external graphics card solution dubbed the “AMILO GraphicBooster” sometime in the “next few weeks.” Unfortunately, this information was leaked from a presentation, so there isn’t a whole lot in the way of details—but we do know that the GraphicBooster is based on ATI XGP technology, it will allow users to connect up to three external displays to their notebook, DVI-D and HDMI connections are included, and it can reportedly deliver a 4.7X performance improvement over the graphics of a small form factor AMILO notebook.

ASUS EAH3850 Trinity Prototype Video Card Goes Triple Penetration With Three Cores

5:00AM Jason Chen | What the crap? As if shoving two GPUs onto a single card wasn’t enough to play contemporary games at a decent frame rate, Asus has just made an EAH3850 Trinity, a tri-core card with its own connected water-based cooling system. When you break it down, it’s three RV670 cores in one card, generating output for four DVI ports allowing you to power four monitors (or one gigantic one at insane-o resolution). More »

AMD Has Triplets; Three New GPUs Coming Soon

9:50PM Haroon Malik | AMD has just announced they shall be releasing three new graphics processors. The R680 is the new model grabbing all the attention, thanks to its dual 55nm processor core. AMD were clear in stating the 55nm processors are identical to those used in an earlier model, but the older RV670 GPU contained only one 55nm Phenom processor. The R680 will bring twice the fun with its dual core goodness and CrossFireX support.AMD are also set to revise two existing models, the RV610 and RV630, which will both be treated to new 55nm processors, but shall remain otherwise identical. We know that Phenom cores have had a tough time courting favour with the experts, and though the new AMD triplet seem great on paper, we’ll reserve judgment till they are unwrapped and put to the test. The products will all hit next month. Happy New Year, gamers. [Daily Tech] More »
