Review: ATI Radeon HD 5830 | Posted on: 15/03/2010 @ 10:31
The way the graphics war is going at the moment, it's like AMD is starting its very own game of Battlefield while adding more and more irrelevant spawn points. Its already got heavily armed squads holding onto the three main spawn points; the low, mid and high-end of the graphics sector and Nvidia hasn't even logged in yet. AMD isn't resting on its laurels though, it's bringing out more troops to ...
Sapphire Radeon HD5830 1GB | Posted on: 15/03/2010 @ 4:23
Looking to close a gap in ATI\'s lineup is the Radeon HD5830. Sounds pretty simple, but there is a catch. The catch here is the 5830 isn\'t a new card, not at least in the traditional sense. Instead, ATI has recycled a piece of their currect lineup in order to fill the need, and the 5830 is essentially a neutered 5870 that couldn\'t pass strict binning criteria. Sapphire has taken the 5830, ...

Designing Our Next GPU Test Suite | Posted on: 14/03/2010 @ 5:20
In keeping with our desire to refresh our GPU test suite periodically, we’re going to be redoing our GPU test suite to rotate in some more modern games, along with rotating in some DirectX11 games capable of taking advantage of this generation of GPU’s full capabilities. And while we already have a pretty solid idea of what we’re going to...

Proof Of Concept: Open-Source Multi-GPU Rendering! | Posted on: 12/03/2010 @ 12:50
Now that David Airlie's vga_switcheroo has went upstream in the Linux 2.6.34 kernel that provides hybrid graphics support and delayed GPU switching, David went on to look for something new to work on in his downtime when not busy with tasks at Red Hat. This new work is on GPU offloading / multi-GPU rendering...
Radeon HD5830 DirectX-11 Gaming Performance | Posted on: 12/03/2010 @ 5:53
Most of the discussion surrounding the Radeon HD5830 video card has been about its performance relative to its two nearest neighbors in the ATI lineup. People are falling over backwards trying to get a fix on its which side of the fence the 5830 belongs: closer to the HD5770, or nearer to the HD5850. In Benchmark Reviews\' recent evaluation of the HD5830, we compared it to a wide variety of video ...

Sapphire HD 5770 1GB | Posted on: 09/03/2010 @ 16:27
In recent weeks, ATI has continued to roll out its “Evergreen†Radeon HD 5 series range of DirectX 11 graphics cards. The Nvidia v. ATI rivalry that has existed in previous GPU ranges has been a non-starter with ATI able to set out its performance, mainstream and lower end segment cards without response from Nvidia. Indeed, the Fermi cards are not due to hit the markets until late ...

NVIDIA Recalls Linux Drivers Over Fan Speed Bug | Posted on: 06/03/2010 @ 19:50
This week NVIDIA had to pull its latest WHQL-certified graphics drivers on Windows due to a bug that would cause the fan controller to not respond correctly to the current conditions of the GPU workload and in some cases would even turn the GPU's fan off. This bug could potentially kill the NVIDIA graphics card due to overheating...

The NVIDIA ION platform for nettops (like the ASRock ION 330HT-BD) and netbooks (like the ASUS Eee PC 1201N) launched last year and these parts have worked their way into many different low-powered computers. NVIDIA even recently introduced the ION2 platform, but it was not until today that they finally got around to adding the ION ASIC support to their feature-limited xf86-video-nv driver. The ...

CeBIT 2010 - ASUS HD5970 ARES Preview | Posted on: 03/03/2010 @ 12:59
I was fortunate enough to get to CeBIT this year, and on the first day I shot over to ASUS to check out the upcoming ASUS HD5970 ARES. As you may well know this is the successor to the MARS card that surfaced last year. Only 1000pcs were made, but they all sold in a very short amount of time which suprised many critics. Their gripe was the RRP and the amount of power that is needed to run the ...

Major Linux 2.6.34 Kernel GPU DRM Updates | Posted on: 01/03/2010 @ 8:00
There's already quite a bit of code that has been merged into the Linus 2.6 Git tree for the Linux 2.6.34 kernel tree, but the first pull request for the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) code has went in this morning. As was mentioned last week, the "vga_switcheroo" that allows for dual GPU switching / hybrid graphics support on some notebook computers is now being pushed into the mainline kernel. ...
