PowerColor DEVIL 13 HD 6970 2GB Video Card Review
TweakTown posted a review on the PowerColor DEVIL 13 HD 6970 2GB Video Card

Today it's all about the new DEVIL 13 card that we saw show up the other week. This card instantly grabbed my eye and I really wanted to check it out. Ask and you shall receive; today is all about the PowerColor DEVIL 13 HD 6970 2GB. There's been a few changes to everything around here since we last looked at a video card, but we'll cover that all in just a few pages. The first thing we need to do is find out what this new HD 6970 is all about.

Pulling the new DEVIL 13 out of the box, you find yourself staring at a very hot looking card with a red / black color scheme going on. What I really love, though, is that PowerColor have opted to go with a black PCB to fit in with everything else. So often we see these really nice coolers installed on a card and then a company has that horrible green PCB stand out.

The new Nook Tablet from Barnes & Noble delivers the best color e-reading experience available, especially for magazines and for children's books. It's a better e-reader than the Amazon Kindle Fire, but the Nook doesn't quite match the Fire on music, video or apps, and the Nook Color offers the same great e-reading experience for less money.
