HIS prepares a fanless version of the HD 7750
Just like last month with the PowerColor GoGreen! version or with the oldest Sapphire Ultimate, this is a fanless version of the HD 7750 that is being prepared by HIS. The new AMD cards don’t heat a lot and, for example, the testing of the Ultimate showed that it is possible to do a fanless card model for the happiness of our ears here with the iSilence5 proposed by HIS.
A card which has common characteristics, namely 512SP, together with 1 GB GDDR5 on a 128bit bus with frequencies of 800MHz for the GPU and 4500MHz for the GDDR5. As shown in the picture revealed by our colleagues from Overclockers Ukraine, only three video outputs are present: DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort.
For now no...
PowerColor HD 7750 Go! Green with passive GPU
The PowerColor is surfing for some time on the Green with its Go! Green, which is especially appreciated for their silence. Therefore, the manufacturer presents a passive HD 7750, with a redesigned PCB and a massive heatsink. It is not known in detail what changes were made (low tension?), knowing that the graphics card retains its reference specs: a 800MHz GPU and 1125MHz GDDR5.
The cooler may seem hefty but it would take only two slots, to verify anyway, because not all configurations will accept it. On the output side we have HDMI, DisplayPort, but also a DVI outputs ports.
No availability date or the rate specified, but these little “special” cards are sometimes a bit overpriced…
EVGA GeForce GT 520 VSTV: a graphics card with a DVB-T tuner
A new graphics card that combines both a GPU and a DVB-T tuner is available from EVGA: the GeForce GT 520 VSTV. Note this one is not unlike what is proposed with the Sapphire Radeon HD 5570 XtendTV launched in February of last year.
The EVGA card uses exactly the same specifications as the 01G-P3-1521-KR (a GeForce GT 520 standard) of the manufacturer. It therefore has a GPU clocked at 810 MHz which is backed by 1024MB of DDR3 running at 700 MHz.
It operates a PCIe 2.0 x16 interface, but unlike her sister, it is not “low profile”. Indeed, the highest PCB is to integrate the DVB-T. Of course, it occupies only one slot, while a second bracket comes in the bundle: it adds an additional...
HIS 6670 iSilence 5: Fanless AMD HD6000
A Radeon HD 6670 graphics card with 1GB of RAM, passive, so ultra-quiet, it is the HIS 6670 card iSilence 5.
HIS launches a new graphics card based on AMD Radeon HD 6670 chip. It’s name is simply HIS iSilence 6670 5 1GB. This graphics card is ideally used for media-centers or some gaming, all in absolute silence. Another interesting point, it does not need external power. So it is not necessary...
Sapphire HD 7750 Ultimate: A fanless graphics card
Two weeks after the official announcement of AMD’s “Cape Verde” chips, Sapphire launches Radeon HD 7750 Ultimate. This model will keep your ears in the utmost tranquility, as its main advantage lies in its fanless cooling system.
This graphics card complies the reference frequencies recommended by AMD. Indeed, the GPU runs at 800 MHz while the 1GB of GDDR5 memory is clocked at 2250...
Graphics: Intel Core i5-2500K (Sandy Bridge) vs Intel Core i5-3570K (Ivy Bridge)
The Chinese from Expreview have an interesting benchmark comparative of integrated graphics of the current generation of Intel Sandy Bridge processors (Intel HD 3000) vs. integrated graphics for the next Ivy Bridge processors (Intel HD 4000), so they compared the Core i5-2500K vs Core i5 3570K ES models fitted to the same frequency CPU (3.3GHz) and memory (1333MHz) to make a comparison of equals.
As...
Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 FleX
Sapphire has just announced a new graphics card in its FleX series we mentioned earlier. It provides a reminder to use Eyefinity without going through one of the two Display Port connectors of the card.
The model introduced today is a passive Radeon HD 6450 which, unlike the AMD reference design uses a double slot bracket and has two DVI and a HDMI connector. The three may be used simultaneously. HDMI...
Zotac GTS 450 ZONE Silent Edition, Totally Fanless
In these lean times for graphics cards, Zotac is trying to bring some entertainment with its new GeForce GTS 450 ZONE Edition Silent. As the name implies, this card features an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 and you’ll understand that it is also completely fanless, so totally silent.
Technically, nothing very original as the award-winning GTS 450 has its 192 cores and its powered by 1GB of DDR3 128bit....
