On August 16 it is planned to release one of the first mainstream cards Nvidia family Kepler — GeForce GTX 660 Ti. Different sources are still disagree considering its characteristics. It is known that it will be based on the graphic chip GK104 and have a more modest power system than the GTX 670. Crippled in its capability GPU GK104 will form the basis for GeForce GTX 660 and, probably, GTX 650 Ti. Boards of mainstream class and below will use the processor GK107.



Actually, GK107 is already present in the market as part of the line of video cards GeForce GT 640, but it limits the potential by slower memory DDR3. Release of modifications GT 640 with GDDR5 chips on board, according to foreign analytics is just a matter of time.


It is believed that the GeForce GT 640 GDDR5 will receive commercial name GeForce GTX 650. This assumption is not without logic, because it will be easier for Nvidia to sell large quantities of video cards (notice how long the Santa Clara did not …

Gigabyte, a global manufacturer of versatile PC hardware components, regularly updates its desktop motherboards product line, providing its customers with the most advanced facilities and performance. Still, the company is actively developing also a series of motherboards intended for the implementation into workstations and server systems.



Hence, Gigabyte has recently introduced three new models to replenish this series: GA-6PXSV4, GA-7PESH3, and GA-7PESH4. The users are able to create a really efficient system with the help of those boards in order to realize different computing activities due to GPU, CAD/CAE visualization or physical processors simulation.


All three motherboards are compatible with Intel Xeon E5-1600/2600 CPUs for Socket LGA2011 and take Intel C602 chipset as the basis. The first model from Gigabyte, GA-6PXSV4, features five expansion slots, including two PCIe 3.0 x16, one PCIe 3.0 x8, one PCIe 2.0 x1, and one more PCI. It supports up to 256GB of …

Guests of the Tokyo Game Show 2017 event saw the presentation of a flagship MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X TRIO video card. At present it is about to be globally distributed together with the latest MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING TRIO model.



Both specialties are performed with the same PC-board design, Military Class 4 hardware components of high quality and an effective 3-fan cooler, which is able to draw away up to 300 W of heat power. The cooling system consists of a 2-section aluminium heatsink and six nickel-plated copper heat pipes. Besides, these samples are supplied with the MSI Mystic Light LED-backlighting.


The basic difference between the two models lies in GPU clock rates and in 11 GB of the GDDR5X memory. One should note, that MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X TRIO features the 1,544/1,657 MHz (“Gaming”) or 1,569/1,683 MHz (“OC”) GPU clock rates, and the 11,016 MHz («Gaming») or 11,124 MHz (“OC”) video memory clock speeds. MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Ti …
