A new graphics card of an average efficiency has appeared in the arsenal of HIS manufacturers. Codenamed HIS 7770 iCooler (H777FN1G), the card is targeted those gamers who would like to receive a dual effect: the possibility to play all up-dated games and to satisfy all other graphics requirements for a reasonable price.



Model 7770 iCooler is based on AMD Cape Verde TX GPU, developed under 28 nm technological process and built on Graphics Core Next micro-architecture. It involves ten computing blocks and 640 current processors. The processing unit is expected to operate at the reference 1000 MHz clock frequency. The integrated GPU is accompanied by 1GB of GDDR5 memory which employs 128 bus; its nominal clock frequency starts at 1125MHz, while its effective frequency might achieve the margin of 4500MHz.


HIS 7770 iCooler employs PCI Express 3.0 x16 internal interface. A set of external video interfaces consists of HDMI, D-Sub and Dual-DVI ports that are able to ensure the …

Fractal Design is the company that distinguishes from its competitors by the incessant dedication towards each product's design and performance. Its recent power supply units lineup, Tesla R2, can be called a benchmark of style and refinement. Of course, the company did not forget about the PSU performance, implementing only the innovative technologies in its development. Tesla R2 series framework and configuration will initially serve the needs of high-end and high-demanding gaming PCs and workstations.



Tesla R2 series has got 80Plus certificate which implies that the product is highly efficient and can compete for the market winning. At the same time, it is characterized by low power consumption which is achieved due to the implemented technologies on heat production decrease. Tesla R2 is equipped with 135 mm fan based on Long Life bearing. It is distinguished by the low-speed rotation and, as a consequence, decreased noise level.


To continue, this PSU is compatible …

Up-to-date SSD manufacturers are inclined to employ MLC flash-memory with synchronous interface in their product lines. The implementation of exactly such memory interface allows balancing the advanced performance with moderate price. This is especially vital for SSDs with SATA 3 6Gb/sec interface. Nevertheless, some producers take the challenge to implement flash-memory with asynchronous interface in their drives. As a result, the final products go at more attractive price but with more modest speed characteristics. OCZ dared to overcome this speed drawback by releasing SSD Agility 4 series. The models included in the series are based on asynchronous flash-memory interface and, according to the company's words, prove to show quite decent speed index.

Despite the prevalence of SandForce controllers implemented in SSDs, OCZ decided to use quite different platform for its new series. Agility 4 employs Indilinx Everest 2 controllers which, in some way, …
