AMD releases the Radeon HD 6790-> 0

Submitted by neersign on Tuesday April 05 2011, @08:44AM

neersign writes "Aimed at the mid-to-upper range gaming segment, the 6790 offers full HD (1080p) gaming at only $149. It is aimed to sit between the 6850 and the 5770/6770 (OEM) while competing directly with the Nvidia Geforce GTx 550 Ti. Even though AMD's reference board has two 6-plug power inputs, a few of their partners are releasing them with only one. All the usual suspects have reviews out with benchmarks: BenchmarkReviews, bit-tech, TweakTown (by Sapphire), Tom's Hardware, HardwareSecrets, and Overclockers."

I.M.O.G. writes "Today AMD officially introduces their newest flagship GPU, the Radeon HD 6990. Targeted to counter Nvidia's current generation flagship GTX580, for AMD this is a followup to their previous generation 2xGPU on a single PCB design, the Radeon HD 5970. It represents the strongest entry AMD will release within their 6000 series graphics lineup. Initial testing and overclocking results are publishing at first tier review sites now. As eloquently stated by Tweaktown's Anthony Garreffa, the 6990 "punches all other GPU's in the nuts.""

AMD's New Flagship HD 6970 Tested 152

from the more-pixels-please dept.

I.M.O.G. writes "Today AMD officially introduces their newest flagship GPU, the Radeon HD 6970, hot on the heels of the Radeon HD 6870 released at the end of October, then the NVIDIA GTX 580 in early November, which is Nvidia's current flagship card. Initial testing and overclocking results are publishing at first tier review sites now. While the HD 6970 is a strong performer and the price point is outstanding for consumers, the GTX 580 retains the flagship crown while the AMD 5970 keeps the single card performance crown with its dual GPUs on a single card."

ASUS Crosshair IV Extreme Review-> 0

Submitted by hokiealumnus on Monday November 08 2010, @11:14AM

hokiealumnus writes "A review of ASUS' premier AMD motherboard, the Crosshair IV Extreme, complete with sub-zero testing! It worked very well with standard air cooling but in its element, with dry ice cooling it managed to push a Phenom II x6 1090T to an impressive 5.5 GHz. If you are an extreme overclocker that wants to bench AMD and has the cash to throw down, do not hesitate for one minute. You will not be disappointed."

Thermalright Announces Archon Heatsink-> 0

Submitted by mdcomp on Wednesday October 20 2010, @09:17AM

mdcomp writes "Today, Thermalright announced the Archon heatsink, a new tower CPU cooler. The cooler is thinner than standard tower heatsinks, which Thermalright claims will eliminate compatibility issues with large memory heatspreaders. Boasting compatibility with Intel’s 1156 and 1366 sockets, the Archon also comes with the same AMD bracket system as the Venomous X. Also included is a 140mm TY-140 fan, but users can mount their own 120 or 140mm fan."

AMD Radeon 6000 Series, Llano, Set to Debut-> 0

Submitted by neersign on Tuesday October 19 2010, @08:24AM

neersign writes "O ATI, ATI, wherefore art thou ATI? A cheap Shakespearean knock-off reference doesn’t really do justice to the way AMD has positioned itself currently with the pending Radeon 6000 series release along with its line of ”Llano” APUs But then, I’m not really much of a writer, and this ain’t no renaissance. AMD has closed the book on its successful history with ATI branding by recently folding ATI into the AMD name as one in the same. In doing so, the dramatic timing and importance of this shift is AMD making a statement that should not go discounted. They are saying AMD is bold. AMD is confident. AMD is ready to ring in a new era, changing the landscape upon which the game is played."

mdcomp writes "When I was little I had a fast 3D card...Or I didn't? Wait wait wait...when I bought my first VooDoo, just when it appeared on the market, it was 1995...or 1996...or was it even 1997? Well, enough googling for dates and other info, all you need to do is look at the chart!"
