Leave a Comment Posted by on December 22, 2012

MSI GeForce GTX 650 Ti Power Edition- A lot of power for few bucksThe GPU’s in the middle range that have a price tag ranging from 80 up to 120 euros offer great price to power ratio, so the manufacturers try to offer as much as they can, for as little as possible. In this category are a lot of models that had at least 20 to 50% bigger price tag when they came out, but were there for a while, so the price tag went down.

MSI has introduced a version of the GTX 650Ti card, signed as Power Edition or PE. Read more of this post

Leave a Comment Posted by on November 23, 2012

XFX Radeon HD 7770 Black EditionThe last of the cards in this test comes from the American manufacturer XFX. The tested model is a part of their Black Edition, which defers from the rest of their offer by the great cooling technology Duratec, which incorporates high quality coils with a ferrite core. Their card looks appealing with the impeccably designed cooler that has a shield made out of brushed aluminum. In the price range of the Radeon HD 7770 this is really a rare thing, because the choice of material usually goes to plastic. Read more of this post

The Clash Of The Middle Class – Part 5 – Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 Vapor-X

Leave a Comment Posted by on November 19, 2012

Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 Vapor-XAs we said this is the second part of the comparison, where the opposition will be shown. It is firstly represented by the leader in AMD GPU production- the Sapphire 7770 card, which has been equipped in the Vapor-X clotting, even though this was formerly reserved for the high end cards.

Because Cape Verde- the chip that is on the HD 7700 is a low consumer chip, Sapphire has designed a reduced version of their cooler Vapor-X, while keeping the main characteristics the same. Read more of this post

The Clash Of The Middle Class – part 4 – Palit GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB and 2GB Version

Leave a Comment Posted by on November 17, 2012

Palit GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB and 2GB VersionFor the test we have chosen 2 GPU’s by Palit that are identical to each other, with the only difference being the dedicated RAM memory provided. Palit’s GPU’s look a lot simpler than the Asus GPU. Firstly, the cooler has the same dimensions as the board, so its overall size is almost half than the DirectCU II. The plastic cover hides only one fan that belongs to the TurboFan Blade family, which has a bigger cooling capability than a regular fan and produces less noise. Underneath it has a simple aluminum body that has a lot of ribs. The lack of heatpipes, copper parts and any other advanced tech is more than obvious. Read more of this post

As always, we are reviewing the best of each company and this from Asus means the DirectCU II in a Top variant. This company puts a lot of faith in their cooling systems and we would say that it is fully approved. Read more of this post

Pantech Flex – Dual Personality

Leave a Comment Posted by on November 2, 2012

Pantech FlexThis one is mainly for the English readers.

The company Pantech has been pushing out midrange phones on the English market for a while and the majority of them can be described as mediocre. This one breaks that stereotype with its specifications and what it has under the hood.

The Pantech Flex deserves its name because of the software that it has inside. To be precise, it works on Android 4.0.4 that can be boot up in an easy mode – made for people with less understanding of modern Android usage and a standard mode that is more or less as any other Android software.

Leave a Comment Posted by on October 24, 2012

Lenovo IdeaPad U310After all the new and expensive ultrabooks that we have reviewed made by Lenovo, the time has come to introduce an older, but cheaper one. It belongs to the IdeaPad series that is aimed at the low end of the market that is the most vast consumer part and in that part of the market it is the hardest thing to be unique. This ultrabook doesn’t shine with hardware, or with its design or manufacturing process, but it sticks out with its price.

The one that we are reviewing goes with the suffix (59336184) and it is the only one in this series that doesn’t have Ivy Bridge architecture.  Read more of this post
