ASUS HD6950 2GB DirectCU II Review
Vortez takes a look at the ASUS HD6950 2GB DirectCU II video card

The graphics card we will be focussing our attentions on today is the HD6950, which we covered in great depth on release. The Cayman GPU that the card is based on features AMD's new refined VLIW4 architecture, boasting a total of 96 texture units, upgraded render back for improved anti-aliasing performance, and an enhanced tessellation engine. The HD6950 only features 88 of those texture units and 1408 stream processors out of a potential 1536 which the fully unlocked HD6970 sports. The main advantage is significantly reduced power consumption, making the HD6950 a very capable card.

SteelSeries Shift MMO Gaming Keyboard Review
Legit Reviews posted a review on the SteelSeries Shift MMO Gaming Keyboard

Looking for an MMO keyboard to smoke the competition? Today we examine the SteelSeries Shift Gaming Keyboard that is fully customizable and designed for the professional gamer. The SteelSeries Shift supports interchangeable "keysets" which groups game commands together and has multiple programmable macro keys, making it easier to beat your competition and play like a GSL professional. Read on to see just how well the SteelSeries Shift performs in the real world.

What really makes the SteelSeries Shift keyboard unique is its ability to swap out keysets. On the right side of the keyboard is a lock which, when pulled up, allows the keys to be removed. After removing the keyset, we can see the rubber domes which are made of high quality silicone which SteelSeries claims will extend the life of the keys to about 15 million keystrokes. This also allows the keyboard to be cleaned easily with some canned air or a vacuum which I think is also a plus....

My Movies 4.0 Review
MissingRemote posted a review on My Movies 4.0

My Movies 4.0 is an all-inclusive movie manager and frontend (interface) for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Media Center users. If you are not a Media Center user you can still leverage the extensive movie database backend to manage your collection as the application will make universally recognizable files for other applications and devices such as XBMC, HDI Dune and Popcorn Hour, to name a few. The application was created by Brian Binnerup back in 2004 due to the lack of a native Windows' default Movie Library in Media Center. Over the years My Movies has built arguably the largest database of movie information and artwork.

MEElectronics M9 Earphones Review
ThinkComputers.org posted a review on the MEElectronics M9 Earphones

There are a lot of contenders in the earphone market. The prices range from $10 up into the $200s or more for those simple little speakers folks plug into their ears for a few hours at a time, listening to a variety of forms and genres of music. Some folks can’t tell the difference between the low-end ones and the high-end ones, and prefer affordability over demonstrable sound quality. After all, if you can hear something, the earphones are working well, right? Clearly, we audiophiles know there is a difference. However, we, too, fancy ourselves frugal, so we’ll find the highest-quality audio devices we can afford. Enter the MEElectronics M9 earphones, a $20 set of earphones which sound like $80 earphones.

Diamond All-in-Wonder HD Premium 5000 Review
OCC has published a review on the Diamond All-in-Wonder HD Premium 5000

The connectivity of the graphics card is where it does shine, as it supports a single HDMI output, a single VGA, and a single DVI-I video output, which we all know are the most commonly used connections for a computer monitor, as well as providing the option to hook it up to your HDTV that you may have sitting in your living room or bedroom. The fact that you can use the TVW750 PCIE HDTV Tuner to grab an audio/video feed off your video camera, VCR, or whatever other device you need to connect to that supports the RCA (Yellow-Red-White) output connections, gives it the ability to be used to create just about any digital media file that you may want.

HardwareHeaven.com posted a review on the Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti Super Overclock Graphics Card

Over the last month or so we have taken a look at a number of GTX 560 Ti models from various manufacturers and in the majority of cases we have been impressed. The stock GTX 560 Ti is a good card with great performance for the price and offers a nice entry into stereoscopic 3D and PhysX. That said the reference design does have some stiff competition from the Radeon 6870 and more recently the 6950 1GB.
