Yesterday morning ATI Radeon HD 4770, a 40-nanometer 3D Graphics card was released . Available now on 3D cards starting at $109 (before a $10 online rebate), the Radeon HD 4770 is the first 3D chip built on the 40-nanometer process technology, which allows for faster, more power-efficient hardware than AMD’s previous 55nm chips.

ATI Radeon HD 4770 falls between Radeon HD 4830 and HD 4670 graphics cards. With core clocked at 750MHz, HD 4770 has 512MB GDDR5 memory clocked at 800MHz and uses 128-bit memory interface to offer 51.2GB/s memory bandwidth. Boasting of 960GFLOPs processing power, HD 4770 has a thermal design power rating of 80Watts.

This new Radeon video card is the flagship product of cards based on the RV740 GPU. The RV740 is AMD’s first 40nm GPU and this card is meant to compete with NVIDIA’s Geforce 9800 GT. And also gaming performance gets better with DirectX 10.1 support in HD 4770 over the DirectX 10 supporting cards. Thus, gamers can play DirectX 10.1 based games like HAWX, S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky, Stormrise and Battleforge.

Apart from this, HD 4770 features the second generation Unified Video Decoder with support for HDMI for visually pleasing high definition Blu-ray movie watching experience. By including HD 7.1 Surround Sound support, audio won’t be compromised on this card.

Radeon HD 4770 main features:
- GPU: RV740 @ 750MHz
- Shader cores: 640
- Memory: 512Mb GDDR5 @ 3200MHz / 128-bit
- Texture units: 32
- ROPs: 16
- Direct3D 10.1 and OpenGL 2/3

Here comes the best gaming keyboard ever!, The Logitech G15 keyboard which keeps you informed and outfitted to win. Equipped with new technology the Logitech-exclusive GamePanel™ LCD can easily find out what server your friends are using to play Battlefield 2142™, or receive notification when your World of Warcraft® battleground becomes available. You can even identify who’s speaking in Ventrilo™.  Create useful macros on the fly and play them back with a single press of a G-key. Backlighted keyboard allows you to play late into the night. The Logitech® G15 gives you a winning advantage, and everyone knows it’s more fun when you win.     High-visibility GamePanel™ LCD: Displays game stats and other important system information.   Backlit keyboard: Choose from three levels of brightness. Locate keys easily in both bright and low-light conditions.

With 6 “G Keys” on 3 different profiles you can set up to 18 different macros to quickly toggle between weapons, preform common tasks, open different applications, or send a specified command to the active window. The LCD screen on the top of the keyboard also really comes in handy, you can use it to view the current time and date, check your hardware status like the CPU and RAM usage, or start a countdown timer. With different miniapps available on the internet you can even make your G15 “dance” to the music playing in Winamp. Another great feature about the G15 is the “game mode”. At the top of the keyboard to the left of the LCD you will see a switch, when that switch is activated, it will render the windows keys inoperable so you won’t have to worry about accidentally pressing it and minimizing your game when you try to duck from an oncoming projectile.

It was also taken on a system running one of the central processing units of treatment hotter on the market, the QX9770. The other thing is the system was 100% stable at a clock speed of 4.4GHz while the Domino was installed. The unit functions for a very reasonable price of $79 which is practically unknown for a cooler cooled by a liquid of central processing unit of treatment. Installation and setup couldn’t be easier. I must say that the cooler of domino ALC completes work that CoolIT conceived it for very well, and is good in value the purchase as it comes with all necessary for the last interfaces from central processing unit from treatment including/understanding the LGA-1366.

The standard in gaming processors, at least as far as Intel goes, is the Intel Core 2 Duo and Quad Core, which offer pretty exceptional computing performance at a relatively low price. Still, as you probably are aware, no computing technology lasts forever and there is always something better coming in the pipeline. According to most people, the next generation of Intel chips is not only good, but exceptional. This next-generation chip by Intel is called the Core i7 and according to recent testing and research, it will dramatically change the way you experience gaming and computing.

One of the first things you’ll notice about the Core i7 is that it has an integrated memory controller. Rather than moving from the CPU through the Front Side Bus and then eventually making it to the RAM, the process is bypassed allowing for much faster memory processing. This also eliminates the need for a front side bus and an external memory controller. By eliminating these parts, you can expect servers to reap the most benefit because of the lack of gridlock within the FSB for multiple processors.

The Core 7 also integrates tri-channel memory, and ditches the old dual-channel options. This is said to have dramatically increased memory speed, but it also was needed for processing bandwidth. It remains to be seen how well tri-channel memory actually stacks up to the current dual-channel model. But, if it means more efficient bandwidth processing, then it must have some benefit. Although most boards will have 4 slots, Intel said that adding a 4th memory stick will slow down your processing speed, to increase the RAM speed. I am still a bit skeptical about tri-channel memory. But like all other upcoming technology, it will eventually evolve into something that is either usable, or be replaced.

Another cool feature of the i7 processor line is that Intel will offer a Turbo Mode that is made possible because of the power management features of the new hardware. This chip runs so efficiently that it is able to function in a quasi “power saver” mode. This will allow the chip to use the saved power to increase frequencies as necessary during times of increased processing need. This sounds like an interesting way to preserve and spend processing power.

When tested against other more popular chips, the Intel Core 7 whooped every single chip it faced  (sometimes by as much as 8o% to 90% faster speeds!) Nearly every single chipset was tested, including AMD’s flagship Phenom chip. But, nothing was able to come close. You need to buy a new board to match its chipset, so I wouldn’t recommend upgrading any time soon. You will also need to make sure you have DDR3 memory sticks, as the Core 7’s initial processor model do not support DDR2 SDRAM. While many enterprise desktops are starting to come with the i7 processor, for large corporate needs, high performance computing options are still ideal.
