PCStats have posted a graphics card overclocking chart. Overclocking is alive and well! PCSTATS has all the details you need to see at a glance to know how the various videocards tested perform relative to each other. The chart we've compiled below lists the highest overclocked core and memory clock speeds we were able to achieve while maintaining 100% stability.
OCWorkBench have posted pictures of their NF570LT-SLI chipset. A few days ago, we mentioned about this new chipset for the Am2 platform. Here is a picture of this chipset. NForce570 LT SLI should be similar to the nForce570 SLI with reduced functions, but it turns out that 570 LT SLI is way apart from the 570 SLI. For example, for SATAII: 4 VS 6, 570 LT SLI also removed TCP/IP Acceleration and Dual net etc.
LegitReviews have done a roundup of DDR3 1333mhz memory. Armed with four 2GB kits of DDR3 memory running at 1333MHz we set off to do our first DDR3 roundup to show those that are building the latest and greatest enthusiast systems which modules stand out from the crowd. Corsair Memory, Kingston Technology, OCZ Technology and Super Talent all sent out 2GB kits for us to try out and that is exactly what we did using the latest Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 processors on the Intel P35 chipset!
TechARP have posted a guide to looping DVD playback. Now, why would any person want a continuously looping DVD movie or video clip? If you are a hardware tester, doing so allows you to test the stability of the PC, the DVD decoding software and the DVD drive. It's also useful for those who want to do presentations at an event (like a technology fair) or even loop advertisements (at banks and electrical stores). In such cases and many others, an endlessly looping DVD may be just the thing you need.
Phoronix have checked out the lated Linux Intel GMA driver. It was earlier this month that version 2.1.0 of the xf86-video-intel driver was released, which among other things had introduced open-source Linux graphics support for the G33, Q33, and Q35 chipsets as well as fixing a horde of bugs and adding PCI IDs for the 945GME, 965GME, and 965GLE chips. As our last Intel graphics performance article was looking at the Q965 back in May, in this article we have enclosed some benchmarks from Intel's GMA 950 IGP using the new xf86-video-intel 2.1.0 driver.
TweakGuides have posted a tweak guide for Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2. To coincide with the retail release of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2, the final version of the GRAW 2 Tweak Guide has been released on TweakGuides.com. The guide contains full setting descriptions, performance optimization advice, advanced tweaking and even gameplay tips.
OCModShop posted an article explaining GameTap. Gametap is a one-stop-shop for emulator junkies, casual gamers and, perhaps most importantly, budget-conscious (aka. cheapskate) players who don’t have $50-60 to drop on a game that may or may not turn out to be a buggy mess.
