Styx Gaming Mouse Review:

Link: http://www.rbmods.com/Articles/Speedlink/Styx/1.php

Quote: Styx gaming mouse they say…. It was quite some time ago that I reviewed a mouse last, Razer, Logitech and Microsoft have been leading on that part of the market but today we might have an end to that! We recieved a sample of Speedlinks latest Styx gaming mouse with some nice features as DPI setting with a button and also a ergonimiclly designed shape on the mouse. Let’s have a closer look at this mouse and compared it vs some others we have looked in the past.

We’ve just posted a new article at HotHardware in which we evaluate a pair of somewhat unique Radeons, the Sapphire Ultimate HD 3850 and Atomic HD 3870.  Unlike most reference 3850s, the Ultimate HD 3850 has a  512MB frame buffer and is outfitted with a passive heat-pipe cooling system for completely silent operation.  The Atomic HD 3870 differs from ATI’s reference design as well and features higher GPU and memory speeds, a fancy single-slot cooling solution that leverages Microloops’ Vapor-X technology, and it has one of the best bundles we have seen in quite  a while.  Come on by the site and check them out…

Article Name: Logitech ChillStream Actively Cooled Gamepad Review @ Tweaknews.net
Article Url: http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/logitech_chillstream_gamepad_review/

Article Snippet:

“To say the least, this controller is a mixed bag of pros and cons with neither of them propping the product to be a winner or pushing it down to being an absolute failure. Sure this is a good ergonomic controller which should perform its gaming tasks with ease, but the main defining characteristic, the cooling, needs work.”

At the time of NVIDIA’s 3-Way SLI launch, we were unable to bring you proper Crysis benchmark numbers that we felt comfortable with.  This was partly an NVIDIA driver issue and party because we were waiting on a patch from Crytek that would allow for more efficient SLI scaling.  With the release of the Cyrsis v1.1 patch, however, we now have a stable, scalable platform with which to test on.  And as you’ll see in the benchmark numbers, Crysis is still an extremely taxing game.  Head on over to the site and check them out…

Title: ATI Radeon HD 3400, 3600 Series Linux Preview @ Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=11728
Summary: “AMD has today announced the ATI Radeon HD 3400 and 3600 series
graphics processors, which are the budget-minded siblings to the Radeon
HD 3850 and 3870. The graphics cards currently now shipping in these
series are the HD 3450, HD 3470, and HD 3650. When the Radeon HD 3850
and 3870 were introduced, there wasn’t same-day Linux support but it had
arrived both in open and closed-source forms relatively quickly, but is
that the same story for these lower-end solutions? Will the DisplayPort
interface on these graphics cards be supported under Linux? In this
article, we have answers to these questions.”
