CoolerMaster CM Spawn Saturday, 22 January 2011 18:13   Earlier this year we took a look at CoolerMaster's Inferno MMORPG mouse and now we're looking at CoolerMaster's new product, Spawn, geared towards first-person shooters.
Cooler Master CM Inferno Review Saturday, 01 January 2011 17:36   The mouse is the bread and butter and ultimate tool for anyone who plays games on the PC. Over the past dozen years there's been an explosion in shapes and sizes of it and for all different utilities. It's evolved quite nicely from a few buttons and a mouse ball to lasers, lights, and more buttons than most people would ever know what to do with. That, however, is not the case for gamers. Cooler Master has a new mouse out specifically built for MMORPGs that are so popular, the Cooler Master Inferno.
Eyefinity Update: New Active DisplayPort to SL-DVI Adapter Thoroughly Tested Wednesday, 13 October 2010 13:22   The mini active DisplayPort to DVI single link adapter is pictured above.   Way back in September of 2009 AMD flew me out to Oakland, and set me up on the USS Hornet for the unveiling of their Eyefinity multi-screen capable Radeon HD 5870.  The demos were impressive, and I had a lot of fun playing Left 4 Dead on a set up that night.  It was not until May of this year that my review of the technology was out.  It was clear that it showed promise. Monitors were the main problem at this point.  There were good games, and the drivers were maturing so little problems I had before were going away.  It all boiled down to the monitors.  
AMD Eyefinity CrossFire 6 Screen Review Wednesday, 05 May 2010 15:42       Last September I was lucky enough to have AMD fly me out to California way to check out the unveiling of Eyefinity on the USS Hornet.  Its a ship, not a boat.  It was quite the tech demo with a variety of games on display and plenty of partners showing off wares.  There was a bit of a look at the Frostbyte 2 engine that powers Battlefield Bad Company 2 now, a teaser of Aliens versus Predator, and some Crytek guys were on hand showing off their new engine.  The main attraction was the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity Edition that packed 6 mini display port connectors and would single handedly push 6 monitors.  Dirt 2 was the demo of choice although we also saw some Left 4 Dead action.  Flash forward half a year and now many more games support Eyefinity, and at long last the Eyefinity Edition has arrived.

Nvidia and ATI have been firing back and forth lately as one tries to up the other in the graphics department. One of these changes was a version of the GeForce GTX 260 but with 216 stream processors instead of 192. Today we'll be looking at one of these cards overclocked from BFG.

The GeForce GTX 260 216 is built on a 55nm manufacturing process which should lower power consumption and also power draw from the previous GTX 260 graphics cards. As mentioned and visible from the art on the fan, this BFG card is overclocked to 590MHz core speed and 1296MHz for the memory.

 

The card features a large heatsink covering the entire card with Nvidia's new bent in heatsink and fan combination towards the end in theory for better airflow. The design from BFG is pretty cool CGI character.

 

 

The bundle is fairly standard with a component cable, DVI-to-VGA adapter, DVI-to-HDMI adapter, molex-to-PCI-E power adapter, and a key is included for 3DMark Vantage though you do have to download it as the disc isn't included.
