• Prolink Pixelview PlayTV@P7000 Media Centre   [Review, Hexus]
  There's no integrated program guide, it doesn't tune digital TV, the FM tuner is unusable, the remote would intermittently stop working, requiring a reboot to fix. That list goes on and on. The list of basic functionality issues present in the P7000 package make it highly unattractive in the face of competing products.

• AOpen Aeolus GeForce 6800 GT 256MB   [Review, Hexus]
  AOpen has achieved a low price by running with a completely reference card in every way, shape and form. The associated bundle, however, is non-reference. AOpen manages to bundle in a couple of reasonable retail games. That's more than can be said for a number of NVIDIA's other partners. Benchmark performance, by dint of the card's default 350MHz core and 1000MHz memory clocks, was also strictly reference, although reference equates to a massive step up from the previous generation's cards. Purchasing the second-highest card in the range often leads to decent overclocking results, as it often uses the same technology and setup as the premier card but runs at slightly slower speeds. That was the case here. 411MHz core and 1100MHz memory put the Aeolus GT above a default Ultra's clocks.

• Blurring The Line Between GT and Ultra - Gainward’s Ultra/2400   [Review, GamePC]
  Today at GamePC, we're looking at the first GeForce 6800 GT card on the market boasting a non-reference cooling system, Gainward's Ultra/2400 Golden Sample. Gainward's GS line of graphics cards have been well received with gamers, as Gainward is one of the only manufacturers to offer factory-backed overclocked levels with their cards. Not only does the Gainward card boast an interesting dual fan cooling system, but the card is the first non-Ultra card of the 6800 lineup we've seen to boast dual DVI monitor connectivity, a major bonus in our book. Let's take a closer look.

• HIS Excalibur Platinum Radeon 9600   [Review, Hexus]
  With my recent look at Gainward's dual-DVI GeForce FX 5700, it was great to take a look at the Radeon 9600 mid-range side of the same fence. If dual-DVI is your bag, there's a hell of a lot to like from the tiny little Excalibur, should balls-out performance not be one of your considerations. That's not to say it's slow, far from it actually, since the RV350 GPU used to power the board is a very competent DX8 and DX9 performer. But it's the board size, lack of any need for external power, cool running, quiet fan and no-frills approach that make it appealing.

• NVIDIA's GeForce 6600 Product Launch   [Article, Hexus]
  Back when NVIDIA launched their first NV40 products, back in April, they assured us that NV4x designs would be prevalent from the budget end of the market, to the highest of high-end boards, by Christmas. Today sees the first part of that being fulfilled. The current NV4x product lineup is all NV40, with three designs - 6800, 6800 GT and 6800 Ultra - sitting in the £200-£400 range, qualifying themselves as enthusiast products based on current pricing, just above the mid-range. That changes today with the release of a the 6600 product series, initially only on PCI Express, based on NV43.

• Sapphire Radeon Toxic X800 Pro VIVO   [Review, Bjorn3d]
  The card on the review bench this time is the Sapphire Toxic X800 Pro VIVO, and it is an entirely different kind of beast. Under the hood, it's still a X800 Pro of course, but Sapphire has tweaked more than just a couple things that will undoubtedly make you raise an eye-brow or two. For those of you keeping track at home, the Sapphire Ultimate series is out, and the Toxic series is in.

Yes, a long and complicated name, but somehow it does fit with this card since it is anything but simple.

• Albatron FX5700P Turbo and Gainward Ultra/980 SilentFX Professional   [Review, Hexus]
  If I learned anything from this article it's that it doesn't pay to take your eye off the mid-range sector, even just for a second. You do so, concentrating on all that's shiny and new and when you glance back you've got dual-DVI boards aplenty. It's a mini paradigm shift that the market has been waiting for for some time, so it's nice to see it finally taking effect, even if it's just from one or two vendors.

• NVIDIA's GeForce 6800 and 6800 GT GPUs review   [Review, Hexus]
  What strikes me most is the performance difference the entire range of product from both IHVs has over the outgoing generation of parts. They all make 9800XT and 5950 Ultra look very very silly indeed. Something for everyone from £200 upwards.

• SLI makes N. American debut @ Fragapalooza   [Article, Bjorn3d]
  The machines they brought contained mucho power in the form of the reference designed PCI-X Motherboard featuring Dual CPU, 6800 Ultra GPU's and 1GB Corsair XMS RAM. They were running the demo using the new UT3 engine and running two SLI mchines side by side, one running with only one GPU enabled and the other running full SLI dual 6800U GPU's. I tried to get them to let me do a 'stat fps' in the console so I could view the FPS, but of course they wouldn't let me. nVidia are claiming a 1.8X increase over running a single GPU.
