Gigabyte is going to introduce one more entry-level graphics solution that corresponds to the updated Nvidia GeForce GT 640 series. Entitled Gigabyte GeForce GT 640 (GV-N640D5-2GI), the card employs GK107 GPU, running at 1046 MHz frequency instead of the preceding 900 MHz. The core, developed under 28 technological process, utilizes 384 CUDA cores.



It’s necessary to underline that the new-comer differs by the availability of 2 GB memory, whereas all etalon models take 1 GB only. Memory is represented by 64-bit GDDR5 chips that run at 5010 MHz effective frequency, if compared with 1800 MHz frequency that DDR3 modules demonstrate.


GV-N640D5-2GI comes with an improved design of PCB where a brand Ultra Durable 2 concept has been incorporated. This concept implies the employment of a high-quality hardware base, involving durable solid-state capacitors, transistors with low channel resistance RDS (on), and ferrite throttles with reduced power loss. Traditionally, the model …

The ASUS company has officially introduced its new ProArt PA27AC monitor, being up to the requirements of the DisplayHDR 400 spec.

 

The novelty presented got a 27-inch IPS panel, featuring the WQHD (2560 × 1440) resolution. The device ensures the 100% coverage of the sRGB colour gamut at the 8 bit colour depth. The ultimate image brightness index equals 400 nit. Other key specifications include the 60 Hz refresh rate, the 5 ms (GtG) response time, alongside with the AMD FreeSync technology support.

 

DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0a and two HDMI 1.4 interfaces are suitable for signal sources connection. Besides, this display is supplied with two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C, USB 3.0 Type-A, USB 3.0 Type-C ports and the 3.5 mm audio jack. The stand utilized allows adjusting height, tilt and swivel, as well as using portrait orientation.

 

No info is reported as of the ASUS ProArt PA27AC price and retail start date yet.

The line of Haswell-compatible motherboards from Asus has been recently replenished with a new model – Z87-A. The new-comer is supposed to be the most ‘customer-friendly’ board, due to the correlation of incorporated facilities and price: based on the prime chipset (Intel Z87) on Socket LGA1150 platform, this board boasts an extreme functional combined with the price of $150 only. Thus, it might become a perfect solution for a powerful gaming PC.



Motherboard Asus Z87-A is elaborated in ATX form-factor and supports Intel Core i3, i5, i7, Pentium, and Celeron processors. Memory is represented by four DDR3 DIMM slots that are able to run at the maximal 3000 MHz frequency. Their overall capacity might achieve 32 GB. CPU power supply subsystem involves 8 phases; this is quite enough for a full-scale overclocking. Audio facilities are ensured by the integrated 7.1-channel Realtek ALC892 controller. Network facilities are backed by a separate gigabit Realtek 8111GR controller.
