ASUS Matrix GTX285 GFX Card Review For the full written review of the GTX 285 bit.ly Follow us on Twitter! www.twitter.com The ASUS Matrix GTX 285/HTDI/1GD3/A card is an interesting beast of a card. With a lower default clock you would expect performance of the card to be lower than the other cards Ive tested, but this was not the case. The card scored nearly the same as the other GTX285s, besting them in some, losing by a small margin in other tests. The card overclocks well, going past 735MHz for the core totally stable. ASUS has done a masterful job with their MATRIX card with a good bundle, good overclocking and the extra features they offer with every product. This product is a Hot Product for those reasons. Of course one cant ignore the fact that Windows 7 is about to be released with DirectX 11, but for now the GeForce GTX285 is the fastest single chip card from either side.
For all the latest reviews and gear! www.motherboards.org Follow us on twitter! http ATI launched the HD 4890 video chip earlier this year in April and today it is one of the bestselling video cards in the world with cards available at the same price point as the GeForce GTX 275 or lower and offering similar performance but more features (DirectX 10.1). The HD 4890 is available online for as low as 3, making it one of the better deals in terms of price/performance. ASUS sells a lot of video cards based on both NVIDIA and ATI chips and this review is on the ASUS EAH4890/HTDI/1GD5/A card.
For all the latest reviews and gear! www.motherboards.org Follow us on twitter! http The Sapphire Radeon HD 5750 Vapor-X video card is a slightly faster overclocked version of their regular HD 5750 card. While a 10MHz overclock on both the core and memory clock speeds is not much, that is not the point of this card. The Vapor-X video card runs quietly when in Windows with no discernable noise from the card in normal operation. The second thing this card has is a high overclock threshold with 850MHz for the core and 1420MHz for the memory fully stable. Temperatures with Vapor-X reached 56C under load when overclocked and 42C when idle, very good temperatures for a video card. The cost of the card will be a little more expensive than a 5750 reference card but for that cost you get excellent cooling, excellent overclocking and slightly higher performance due to the increased clocks. You also get a copy of Colin Mcraes Dirt 2 game that is one of the first DX11 games to hit in December. For those wanting extreme cooling and a different than standard reference designed card this is one solid Hot Product.
