Plenty of innovative devices were presented at the Computex 2017 exhibition. For instance, the PowerColor Company has demonstrated a new external docking station for a graphics adapter, called Gaming Box. At present only few particulars are known, however, we may suggest, that its set of functions will resemble those ascribed to the original Devil Box.



Surely, PowerColor recommends to use Gaming Box with its own series of Red Devil/Red Dragon Radeon RX 500 family cards, but we should remark, that this novelty is compatible with different graphics accelerators, including such advanced samples as the RX 400/500 series, R9 Fury/Nano series, GTX 10-series, and TITAN Xp. The Thunderbolt 3, 40 Gb/s, connection pairs the enclosure to the host system, for example to your PC or laptop. With this aim in view the manufacturer supplied its product with three USB 3.0 Type-C ports and a Gigabit Ethernet connector. The 550 W internal power supply unit has two PCIe (6+2 pin) connectors and is …

In the last couple of years, the chassis with the division of the interior into two zones has become very popular. In the lower part, as a rule, there is a power supply unit and drives, and in the upper part – all the other components. Almost all manufacturers now have similar models. This fashion did not pass around LogicPower, where it was embodied in the case of LP 7777 from the Perfect series.

Sparkle Computer, a Taiwanese supplier of graphics solutions and consumer electronics, has released two 3D graphics cards simultaneously. The two models have been codenamed Calibre X680 Captain and Calibre X670 Captain. Both cards are based on Nvidia GK104 GPUs developed under 28 nm standards. The chief peculiarity of the products is the integration of extraordinary cooler CoolPro; the uncommonness is seen in the localization of three fans that found their places under the radiator. This radiator is connected with the base, which is in direct touch with GPU, by means of six heat pipes.



Calibre X680 Captain and Calibre X670 Captain are equipped with DisplayPort, DVI, DVI-D, and HDMI video outputs. Graphics cards employ PCI Express 3.0 interface and support DirextX 11 interface, as well as, such Nvidia technologies as CUDA, PhysX, 3D Vision, and 3D Vision Surround. They are also notable for the availability of eight-phase voltage regulators and the enhanced depth of ground on the …
