GAINWARD GTX 570 GLH

When NVIDIA launched the GTX580 a few months back the only cards available on launch day were reference models with the main difference between each being the sticker used on the heatsink. The recent GTX 570 launch was a similar affair however some manufacturers did take the opportunity to perform some overclocking on the cards at the factory. Really though all of the launch day cards were the same PCB with the same cooler and the end user could manually overclock to the same level as the factory overclocked model easily.

GAINWARD GTX 560Ti PHANTOM 2GB

 Gainward's Phantom edition is featured with innovative revolutionary cooling technology, reinforcing the heat dissipation efficiently. The Gainward GTX 560 Ti 2048MB Phantom is set at default GPU clock appearing to be 822MHz, while its shaders and memory is at 1645MHz and 4008MHz respectively.

NVIDIA CUDA 4.0

The last time we discussed CUDA and Tesla in depth was in September of 2010. At the time NVIDIA had just recently launched their lineup of Fermi-powered Tesla products, and was using the occasion to announce the 3.2 version of their CUDA GPGPU toolchain. And though when we’re discussing the fast pace of the GPU industry we’re normally referring to NVIDIA’s massive consumer GPU products arm, the Tesla and Quadro businesses are not to be underestimated. An aggressive 6 month refresh schedule is not just good for consumer products it seems, but it’s good for the professional side too.

AMD LLANO TO USE HD 65XX & 66XX

As the title indicates, AMD's Llano line of APUs will feature an embedded GPU with the AMD Radeon SKU of HD 6550

Several reports are indicating that AMD's upcoming line of Llano Fusion accelerated processing units (APUs) will feature the Radeon HD 6550 graphics core.
When launched, the Llano line is expected to compete with Intel's current LGA 1155 Sandy Bridge line featuring quad-core chips and Intel's HD 3000 series integrated graphics. But unlike Intel's Sandy Bridge platform where the processor die is fused with an integrated graphics northbridge into a single die, the silicon part of the Radeon HD 6550 will be integrated with the rest of the APU, allowing the GPU to assist the x86 cores with serial processing loads.

EVGA GEFORCE GTX 590 CLASSFIED HYDRO COPPER QUAD SLI (2 PACK)

One of NVIDIA's largest partners, Galaxy, is even ready with a highly overclocked model with its core running at 1 GHz (900 MHz reference), and 1150 MHz (1025 MHz reference) memory speed. Galaxy's card will use the HOF (Hall of Fame) identifier, which is supposed to indicate the company's highest level of factory-overclock speeds.

MSI GEFORCE GTX 570 TWIN FROZR III POWER EDITION

MSI introduces its GeForce GTX 570 Twin Frozr III Power Edition with Propeller Blade technology. 

Leading international graphics card and motherboard maker MSI has now released the N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition graphics card. The new graphics card not only features the latest Twin Frozr III dual fan cooling module but also exclusive Propeller Blade technology for 20% more airflow. Under full load, these reduce the GPU temperature by 18˚C and fan noise by 7.7dB compared to the reference board. The popular Power Edition architecture from R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition has also been retained. The use of 6+1 phase power supply and Triple Overvoltage support enhances overclockability and stability, increasing the overclocking potential by 22%1! For consumers looking for great cooling, overclocking potential and stability, the N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition offers the perfect balance between performance and cooling. 20% More Air Flow with Exclusive Propeller Blade Technology

MSI R6970 LIGHTNING

AMD’s HD6970 has been a popular card since it was launched and some partners have been releasing modified versions based on the AMD reference design. Today we are looking at a rather spectacular design from MSI which features the latest update on their high performance Twin Frozr cooler.

Rawarontex has looked at many of the Twin Frozr designs in the past, and we have found that they always deliver class leading cooling performance while emitting very little noise.
The MSI R6970 Lightning Twin Frozr III graphics card has the newest version of the cooler with improved heatpipe design and the world’s first 18 Phase PWM design. With a generous overclock to 940mhz, is this the best HD6970 available on the market today?

INNO3D GEFORCE GTX 590

Since NVIDIA unleashed the GeForce GTX 590 just days ago, it is no surprise to see its various partners show off their own solutions, and Inno3D has now joined the fray with a stock-clocked version of it.

One might say that consumers have been waiting for NVIDIA to unleash a dual-GPU, DirectX 11 video card for many months.
In fact, it could be seen as odd that it only now happened, considering the fact that AMD had its first one out way back on 2009 and has since revealed a second one. It was also found that, according to reviews, the new GTX 590 came out slower compared to the Radeon HD 6990 (the successor to the HD 5970), although it was described as “the best dual GPU product ever built” by its makers anyway.

Granted, the dual-GF110 card has other advantages, like a lower noise output, albeit it still takes up a lot of space. Inno3D presented a card of its own now, whose two GF110 chips work at 607 MHz each, while the 3 GB of GDDR5 VRAM are clocked at 3,414 MHz.
Meanwhile, the 1,024 CUDA cores feature a shader frequency of 1,215 MHz, while the memory interface is of 768 bits (384 bits per GPU).
All in all, the Inno3D GeForce GTX 590 has a memory data rate of 2,414 Mbps and a bandwidth of 327.7 GB/s.
Needless to say, 3D Vision Surround is supported, at a resolution of 5760 x 1080 pixels even, as are Quad SLI and PhysX. The price was not mentioned, but it shouldn't be too different from the $699 that NVIDIA imposed for its original.

ZOTAC CUSTOM GTX 580/560

Rawa rontex has some early details on Zotac's upcoming premium-grade Nvidia GeForce GTX 580. Set to debut this June at Computex Taipei, the GTX 580 Extreme Edition features a custom PCB outfitted with a 16+2 phase power design, spiffy Japanese capacitors, a custom cooler as well as factory-overclocked GPU and memory frequencies.

The GF110-powered card comes with all 512 CUDA cores enabled and features an 850MHz GPU clock (up from 772MHz), 1.5GB of GDDR5 VRAM running at an effective 4400MHz (from 4008MHz), a 384-bit bus, and two-way SLI support. In addition to the stock configuration of one HDMI and two DVI ports, Zotac has added a DisplayPort output.


That's crammed onto a PCB that is reportedly half an inch shorter than the standard 10.5-inch GTX 580 reference card. Meanwhile, heat dissipation is handled by a triple-slot solution consisting of a thin plate with fins for the GDDR5 memory and VRMs, as well as a nickel-plated copper block with six 6mm heatpipes and two 120mm Titan fans for the GPU.

No word on pricing yet, but it wouldn't shock us if the card launched for a $100 premium over the stock GTX 580. In other Nvidia news, the GTX 560 is now rumored to be due on May 17. The non-Titanium card is expected to rest between the GTX 550 Ti and GTX 560 Ti with 336 CUDA cores, 56 TMUs, a 256-bit interface and 1GB of GDDR5 memory for ~$199.

NVIDIA OPTIMUS TECHNOLOGY TO ARRIVE FOR DESKTOP

Nvidia plans to launch the desktop version of its Optimus graphics switching technology at Computex this coming June in Taipei, according to a report on VR-Zone. Dubbed Synergy, the technology will initially work on Sandy Bridge boards carrying Intel H61, H67 or Z68 chipsets, and unlike with SLI, motherboard vendors won't need to pay a licensing fee or sign an agreement to implement Synergy graphics switching in their products.

As you'd expect the technology will only work with discrete graphics cards from Nvidia. Basically, Synergy will work much in the same way as Optimus does in notebooks, allowing dynamic swapping between the integrated GPU in Sandy Bridge processors and an installed GeForce graphics card depending on the task being executed.


For example, the Intel HD graphics core will be used when doing light work like browsing or writing documents, while the GeForce card will kick in when gaming and running benchmarks. Video playback and encoding will be handled by Intel's Quick Sync technology that's built onto Sandy Bridge-based processors.

The result should be lower power draw and a quieter system. Users will also be able to manually switch between integrated and discrete graphics on the fly, or set up profiles to switch when a particular application or game is launched.

It's worth mentioning that a similar technology already exists for desktops in the form of LucidLogix's Virtu. The latter is compatible with both Nvidia and AMD graphics cards but requires motherboard vendors to pay a licensing fee. Nvidia's technology apparently won't require any hardware tweak or cost motherboard makers a thing.
