AMD Radeon RX 460 Graphics Card Review

Last week the AMD Radeon RX 470 4GB graphics card debuted at $179 to help bring AMD’s new Polaris GPU technology down to lower price points. The AMD Radeon RX 480 video card runs $199 for the 4GB model and $249 for the 8GB model, so it was good to see what AMD had to offer mainstream gamers. If $179 is still too much to justify spending on a graphics card for your system we have great news for you. AMD is releasing the Radeon RX 460 today and pricing starts at just $109 for 2GB models. Read on to see how the XFX Radeon RX 460 4GB Double Dissipation Graphics Card performs!

AMD Radeon RX 460 Review: Polaris On A Budget

AMD and NVIDIA have been launching graphics cards at a rapid clip this summer. In the last three months or so, about ten new desktop GPUs have been launched or announced, targeting virtually all market segments. Thanks to new architectures and more advanced manufacturing processes, this latest generation of GPUs offer far better performance and efficiency than the previous-gen, with much smaller die sizes too. So it makes sense that the big two discrete GPU makers wanted their latest wares on store shelves ASAP.

Today, AMD is ready with an entry-level graphics card featuring its Polaris architecture, the Radeon RX 460. Unlike the Radeon RX 480 and RX 470 that launched before it, the RX 460 is built around a new piece of silicon, the Polaris 11 GPU. The RX 480 and RX 470 feature the larger, more powerful Polaris 10...

ASUS Radeon RX 460 STRIX Gaming 4 GB Review

We review the ASUS Radeon RX 460 STRIX Gaming 4 GB. The graphics card is positioned in the budget range and will perform at entry level gaming wise.

This entry level graphics card series will allow you to play your games at Full HD (1080P) at best, often you will need to lower image quality settings. The RX 460 is a graphics card series that does come at reasonable price as. The 4 GB variant will start selling at $109, however you'll mostly see AIB card and these will sit in the $139 (USD) range. At the Full HD domain 4 GB we feel is plenty graphics memory for a card of this caliber. The card is positioned to be the succesor to the Radeon R7 260X and does that quite well as you'll be able to find out. These cards come with 896 shader processors and are clocked at a dynamic boost frequency of up-to 1,200 MHz on the reference cards. In this review we'll look at temperatures, noise, performance and go with the latest game titles on the globe.

Building a 40-Thread Xeon Monster PC for Less Than a Broadwell-E Core i7

Following up to our popular 32-thread Xeon PC feature, we've been in the hunt for affordable Xeon processors based on more modern architectures. Our search put us on the trail of Intel's Xeon E5 2630 v4, a 10-core Broadwell-EP part (40 threads for 2 CPUs) that can be found for less - with a catch - so we put together a system to show off what's on offer here.

CHUWI Hi12 review: A decent tablet with a useless keyboard

A big, solid tablet that delivers Windows 10 on an aluminum platter.

When I first saw and held the CHUWI Hi12 tablet with the keyboard attached, I wondered exactly what this brick was going to deliver.

I was immediately frustrated by the keyboard and touchpad, and by the way the tablet fit onto it. I go more in-depth about the keyboard below, but at least the tablet itself didn't disappoint.

GTX 1070 performance leaked

Ahead of expected Gamescom announcement We are expecting shedloads of next-generation mobile graphics cards to launch soon and Nvidia is expected to use Gamescom 2016 on 17-21 August but it looks like the performance of the new GTX 1070 has leaked out before hand.

A few slides which tipped up on Baidu show that the card is more than 355 per cent  faster than GTX 960M. The GPU is based on GP104 chip and comes with 2048 CUDA cores, 64 ROP units and 128 TMU.  The desktop flavour has 1920 CUDA cores, 64 ROP and 120 TMU. However, the mobile variant comes with lower clocks to keep the power consumption down.

Huawei P9 Plus Review

Introduction, key features and designThe Huawei P9 Plus is a top-end phone. It's bold, it's pricey and out to offer features the company couldn't even fit in the normal Huawei P9, already an expensive device. A pressure sensitive Press Touch screen is at the top of the list, along with an ultra-flashy metal finish. Even without the various show-off finishing touches, the Huawei P9 Plus is a top-quality phone whose battery life is stronger than a lot of its peers. At £549/AU$899 (around US$730), though, it has stiff competition from the Samsung Galaxy S7, and even the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Key featuresLike almost all high-end Huawei phones, the P9 Plus has a top-quality fingerprint scanner on the back. If you're used to a front scanner it may take a little getting used to, but is about as intuitive to use as any.

Sapphire Nitro RX 460 OC Graphics Card Review

Not so long ago, Sapphire unveiled the Nitro+ RX 480 OC graphics card which allowed AMD’s flagship Polaris 10 core to perform to its maximum potential. This is due to the company’s exceptional cooling solution which managed to tame the GPU’s thermal loads and in turn, ensured the boost clock didn’t plummet in a wide range of demanding games. Unfortunately, AMD’s relatively simplistic reference cooling design doesn’t contain any heat-pipes and relies on a single aluminium heatsink with a copper base. This was inadequate for overclocking and after speaking to AMD, they acknowledged it could have been engineered better. While the RX 480 offers outstanding value for money and targets the mainstream demographic, the price point might still be too high for certain consumers on a tight budget or those considering PC gaming for the first time. Thankfully, the RX 470 can dispel those concerns and is a slightly scaled back version of the RX 480. This particular configuration is capable of up to 4.9 TFLOP/s peak performance, has 32 compute units, 2048 stream processors all within a very respectable 150-watt TDP on models sporting an 8-pin connector.

As you might expect, the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 470 OC utilises the same cooling apparatus as its bigger brother and contains a BIOS switch to cycle between two modes. The silent mode features a 1206MHz boost clock and the memory runs at 1750MHz. If you require extra performance, then the Boost mode is a suitable choice given the higher 1260MHz clock speed. Evidently, this is a significant step up from Sapphire’s other RX 470 which is based on the reference model. Therefore, I expect to see some pretty significant frame-rate improvements as from my own experience, the boost clock is very stable and doesn’t fluctuate. Is the Nitro+ RX 470 OC worth the premium compared to more basic solutions? Let’s find out!

Sapphire RX 470 4GB Nitro

Last week AMD introduced the new RX 470 and I took a look at XFX’s fastest model, the RX 470 RS Black Edition. Well, today I’m going to follow that up and take a look at Sapphires RX 470 4GB Nitro. This will be my first look at one of the new 400 series Nitro cards and I’m excited to find out what Sapphire has going on. From looking through some of the feature lists I saw removable fans and RGB lighting but I’m most curious about the overall performance of the overclocked card and the cooling capabilities of the Nitro cooler. So today I’m going to take a look at the card, its features, and then test its performance in our GPU benchmark suite to see how it compares to the RX 470 from XFX. Considering how close the XFX came to the RX 480 in some of our tests Sapphire has their work cut out for themselves.

The Skylake Core i3 (51W) CPU Review: i3-6320, i3-6300 and i3-6100 Tested

Out of every generation of Intel processors, the headline acts are the high core count parts, the ones with a high-frequency or the most expensive models. Of course, any manufacturer that has a high performing halo product will want that story out of the door on day one, but for typical user sales, it is the mid-range that is more relevant. The Intel Core i3 line comes without any Turbo, offering a flat frequency at load, and is synonymous with dual-core configurations with hyperthreading. In this review, we test three of the Core i3 processors, the i3-6100, the i3-6300 and i3-6320, all of which are set at a 51W TDP.
