The American Corsair Company is going to satisfy high-productive SSD zealots' needs by releasing new Neutron NX500 series products, already mentioned in the USA and Western European countries’ price lists.



Being performed in the PCI Express expansion card form factor, Corsair Neutron Series NX500 solid state drives are equipped with a fully-featured heatsink, a decorator cover and a rear backplate. These products of 400 and 800 GB capacity use a PCI Express 3.0 x4 (32 Gbps) interface and an NVMe protocol. The sequential data reading speed of both Neutron NX500 devices reaches 3 GB/s in ATTO Disk Benchmark and 2.4 GB/s in CrystalDiskMark, the consecutive writing velocity comes up to 2.4 GB/s in ATTO and 1.6 GB/s in CDM. 4 KB random IOPS rates are impressive –300,000 (reading) and 270,000 (writing).


Regarding the MLC NAND memory chips utilizing we may assume that Neutron NX500 SSDs are aimed not only at home PCs, but also at workstations, which are in operation 24/7. The …

Palit has officially claimed that a long-awaited kick-off of GeForce GTX 780 JetStream graphics card with 6 GB memory will take place in mid-April. The model is differentiated not only the doubled video memory capacity, but also by the incorporation of an offbeat three-slot cooling system and factory overclocking. The privileges offered by the card will be available for the customers with about €600 in their pockets.



Palit GeForce GTX 780 JetStream 6 GB is based on GK110-300-A1 GPU with 2304 CUDA cores, 48 ROPs, and 192 TMUs. The core operates at the basic 902 MHz frequency, still it might be overclocked to 954 MHz level. The implemented GDDR5 modules employ 384-bit bus and run at an effective 6 GHz frequency (1.5 GHz nominal index).


Power supply is delivered through one 8-pin socket and one 6-pin socket. The estimated TDP level makes up 250 W. Video connectivity is realized by means of four dedicated ports: HDMI 1.4a, DisplayPort 1.2, DL DVI-I, DL DVI-D. In addition, …

According to computational performance, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti series graphics cards are ranked at the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 level, but their power consumption rate is lower compared to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950. This makes them excellent game video cards variants for compact chassis, if the monitor resolution doesn’t exceed Full HD.



This very context induced the production of MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GT LP low-profile Graphics Cards, which dimensions are 182 х 69 х 35 mm. They are based on NVIDIA GP107-400 graphics engine with 768 CUDA, the frequency formula of which fits the reference value of 1290 / 1392 MHz. 4 GB of GDDR5-memory with the 128-bit bus and the effective frequency of 7008 MHz operate concurrently.


The MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GT LP model internal nodes are cooled by the low-profile cooler, the construction of which contains a heat sink and a pair of axial-flow fans. The element base is of high quality and corresponds to the MSI Military Class 4 …
