CA: www.ncix.com US: www.us.ncix.com Trying to build a beastly gaming machine with a small footprint? Well you could do a whole lot worse than this awesome Shuttle barebones. I load it up with some pretty sick hardware and get some pretty impressive results!

CA: ncix.com US: us.ncix.com Almost no one tests the latest graphics cards on an AMD test bench these days, so just for you AMD users I decided to do a run through with the top graphics cards from the GeForce and Radeon camps to see how they fare on the AMD Bulldozer 8 core platform!

CA: ncix.com US: us.ncix.com I haven’t done one of these in a while, but this video should give you a good idea of the physical characteristics of these latest graphics cards including (especially) their lengths relative to each other.

CA: ncix.com US: us.ncix.com The HD 7950 is finally here for folks who don’t have QUITE a big enough budget for a “king of the hill” graphics card, but want most of the performance (or even the same performance as a stock 7970 if they are willing to overclock!) of the fully-fledged card!

CA: ncix.com US: us.ncix.com AMD memory is here in a few different flavours. I only look at one of them, but that pretty much gives us some idea of “what’s up” with these new modules from Patri.. I mean AMD

CA: www.ncix.com US: us.www.ncix.com It seems like every other day NVIDA and AMD are trading blows like two giants playing shot for shot. It’s AMD turn to strike and they’ve landed a good one with the Radeon HD 7970. It’s the undisputed king of the single GPU castle. Well done!

ncix.com This video will allow us to isolate the performance of the A8-3850 APU in a gaming environment WITHOUT using its onboard graphics. Remember the onboard graphics can’t be combined with anything higher than a 6600 level card.

Today I take a look at quad SLI versus quad CrossfireX with the latest dual GPU cards from NVIDIA and AMD. Have a look at the scaling they are able to achieve at 2560×1600!

As requested I’ve re-run some of the tests using a Radeon HD 6990 in an x16, x8, and x4 slot to find out how the bandwidth affects performance.
