GPUBoss.com Can Help You Pick A Graphics Card
The graphics card marketplace can be quite confusing to the new PC gamer. There are no standardised labels, cards with the same number designation vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, and the internet is filled with people that swear their favourite piece of poly-processing hardware is the best. I’ve been buying cards for more than a decade, and I still get confused. That’s why GPUBoss.com exists.
Under The Hood: Nvidia Titan Is The Massive GPU That Might Be Unbeatable
Today Nvidia is pulling the wraps off the GK110-based GeForce GTX Titan, a single-GPU card that is expected to easily capture the title of Baddest arse GPU in the world when benchmarks are released this Thursday, February 21. The Titan is Nvidia’s “Big Kepler” GPU, and has double the transistors and almost double the CUDA cores of the mid-range GK104 chip found in its flagship GeForce GTX 680 GPU. Though it runs at a lower clock speed in stock trim, it should still offer a sizable performance improvement over the already capable GTX 680.
Under The Hood: Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti Review
It’s been over six months since Nvidia launched its Kepler architecture, and we’ve finally seen the GTX 600 series enter more affordable price brackets, delivering a greater value every step of the way. In August, the company shipped its GK104-based GeForce GTX 660 Ti for $US300, which was about 13 per cent slower than the $US400 GTX 670 while being roughly 33 per cent cheaper — an unmatched performance-to-price ratio at the time.
Ivy Bridge Benchmarks Show Integrated Graphics Might Not Suck (As Much)
We’ve been hearing for years that integrated graphics — meaning your computer doesn’t have its own, separate graphics card — won’t catch up to the beefier cards, but it’ll be good enough some day soon. Hasn’t happened yet. But these reported benchmarks of Intel’s new Ivy Bridge processors from CPU World look pretty promising.
New AMD 7700 Graphics Cards Make Awesome Graphics Affordable
AMD’s got two new 28nm video cards today, the AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition and the 7750. Compared to top-tier cards, they’re pretty darn affordable, but not without a few concessions.
Dell Called Out For Misleading Graphics Card Advice
Dell’s approach to letting customers configure their PCs can be a little daunting, so I applaud them for providing helpful advice. Except in this instance where an image implied that choosing a cheaper graphics card would mean a blurry desktop.
