Asus X99 Deluxe Redux, Battle Of the BIOS!

The Asus X99 Deluxe is a popular choice among 2011v3 users, it falls between top end enthusiast boards and budget boards leaning toward top end more than budget. The board itself is a dark brown color with white accents and quite striking to the eye. Heatsinks and rear panel I/O are trimmed in white and the brown background of the board is sure to highlight your components well. Packed with features only Asus has the resources to field. Specifically their OC socket. The unique socket connects extra [ins on the Haswell E CPU’s to proprietary circuitry. Combined with ASUS’s UEFI bios enables higher DDR4 memory frequencies, lower latency and enhanced stability while overclocking, extending all the way to extreme overclocking conditions, such as Liquid Nitrogen (LN2)

Corsair Neutron XT 240GB Solid State Drive Review

The past year has been a real interesting one for solid state drives. The “big” companies have really taken a real interest in the consumer market and since they are the ones that own the fab houses it is really hard for smaller companies to offer an advantage in price and features. Corsair is a company we always know for quality products and have made a pretty good name for themselves in the SSD market. Today we will be taking a look at their Neutron XT 240 GB solid state drive. They have teamed with Phison, making use if their PS3110 quad-core controller and Toshiba 19 nm MLC NAND. With this combination Corsair says this drive is , “designed for the absolute best in class performance” for a 2.5-inch solid state drive”. Will that hold true? Read on as we find out!

FSP Aurum Pro 1200W Power Supply Unit Review

If you happen to be one of those people who like spending a small fortune to build a gaming rig then the two hardware components on top of your to buy list are (or at least should be) the best graphics cards available for dual/tri/quad configurations (the NVIDIA Titan X was just released by the way) and an power supply unit powerful enough to support them. Up to 10 years ago you'd really have a hard time to find models capable of outputting even 800W but things were quite different since tri/quad-card configurations were not really available back then. Today however in order to build a gaming rig with 3 or 4 graphics cards you need at least a 1200W PSU although that depends a lot on what cards you decide to use. Titanium and Platinum 80 Plus certified PSU models may have the spotlight on them since they offer the best electrical efficiency money can buy currently but that also means you can find 80 Plus Gold certified models for much less. The Aurum Pro 1200W by FSP is not amongst the newest models in the market since it has been around for roughly 3 years now but because we recently gave one away and many of you asked for it today we're going to take a closer look and see how it performs.

FSP Group is the 5th largest power supply vendor in the world. Since the company was established in 1993, our outstanding management team has drawn together our R&D expertise, our sizeable production capacity, outstanding product quality to consistently excel in this competitive marketplace. FSP group is a publicly traded company listed in the Taiwan stock exchange, symbol: 30.15.TW, with revenues exceeding over 600 million USD. FSP group provides OEM/ODM power conversion products and services to the majority of well-established manufacturers and is the leading volume supplier of desktop PC ATX power supplies. In recent years, FSP group has expanded its R&D and manufacturing capabilities to become one of the major power conversion supplier of power adapters, industrial PCs, servers, LCD/LED monitors, LCD/LED TVs, heavy duty industrial products (UPS), portable battery chargers, Uninterrupted Power Supply as well as providing off-the-shelf consumer products, partnering with many strategic manufacturers.

Just like the Aurum PT 1200W the Aurum Pro 1200W features a powerful single +12v rail capable of dishing out the entire output of the unit (all 1200W) making it ideal for gaming rigs (after all you can't overload single rails). As mentioned numerous times in the past this was known to cause overheating with older and far lower quality models but we are well past that point especially when this is found in a model by one of the leading manufacturers in the market. Unfortunately unlike the Aurum PT the Aurum Pro is not 100% modular since it comes with the mainboard power cables hardwired into its main body but since these are two cables which you'll be using after all we don't see it as a drawback. Certainly you may not "enjoy" the future-proof feature offered by 100% modular models but the truth of the matter is that you may not even need it in the long run (we don't have the slightest clue about when and if the standard will change). Other features include the 80 Plus Gold certification, 135mm hydro-dynamic bearing fan, low-profile cables, Japanese capacitors, active PFC and the usual Over-Current/Over-Voltage/Short-Circuit protections. So how does it perform?

Kingston SM2280S3 120GB M.2 SATA SSD Review

The good folks over at Kingston were kind enough to send over a Kingston M.2. SM2280S3 120GB M.2. Solid State Drive, whats the noise about you might ask. The noise is about the blazing speed one of these innocuous little drives can produce. As a little spoiler, to grab your attention, I tossed this little jewel on Hexzilla and ran a Quick AS SSD test on it and the read speed hit 499MB/s, Write hit 240MB/s. If that doesn’t make you want to jump up and scream “I want one” you may want to check your Pulse.

Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X 12GB Review

The first GeForce primed for 4K gaming. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 graphics processor has held the title of world's fastest GPU since its launch in September 2014. Equipped with a second-generation Maxwell architecture, the 2,048-shader part is able to mete out acceptable framerates when tasked with rendering modern games at a lofty 4K (3,840x2,160) resolution.

Perhaps more impressive is the energy efficiency aspect of the GPU, consuming up to 165W over extended periods, which enables add-in board partners to produce quiet cards that certainly don't skimp on performance.

Yet this second-generation Maxwell GPU - a full implementation of the GM204 die - is the warm-up act before the main gig. You see, the ultra-enthusiast Maxwell GPU, home to a gazillion transistors and silly amounts of VRAM, has yet to reveal itself... until now.

Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X 12GB review: Monstrous GPU

Today, Nvidia introduces the GeForce GTX Titan X, which they claim is easily the fastest single-GPU graphics card in the world. Our extensive test reveals that Nvidia did not exaggerate even in the slightest.

The Titan X is based on the Nvidia GM200 chip, the largest and most complex GPU of the Maxwell generation, which features 50% more cores than the GM204 chip that lies at the heart of the GeForce GTX 980 and 970. Do note that this is not the first graphics card that is based on this GPU, as Nvidia had already previously announced the professional Quadro M6000. However, whereas that graphics card is tailored to business applications, the Titan X will instead be tailored to gamers. More specifically, gamers with a 4K / Ultra HD display who are looking to max out their games. While we've previously seen that the GTX 980 is generally fast enough to render most games at the Ultra HD resolution, you'll often times have to make do with medium settings.

The GTX Titan X truly is a monstrous graphics card, which will no doubt sport an equally monstrous price. At the time of writing, Nvidia had not yet disclosed the board's MSRP; they will do so today during a keynote on their GPU Technology Conference. We suspect that the minimum price tag will be at least $999 in the States, which when taking into account the current exchange rates, VAT, and other such things, might just result in prices of around £900 / €1250 in Europe. But perhaps Nvidia will end up having a pleasant surprise for us, so do keep an eye on our news feed. Whatever the price may end up being, it does get you a magnificent graphics card...

Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X Review

*Myeah, Nvidia has been a bit in rough weather lately, the GeForce GTX 970 VRAM ordeal certainly caused a lot of commotion, irritation and reputation damage. So it's GDC and Nvidia figured let's do a surprise announcement next to that new Shield set-top box. Out of nowhere Nvidia's CEO presents something dark... very dark; he holds a product in his hands that is labeled GeForce GTX Titan X. To date nobody had even heard of this card and timing wise nobody really expected it. But in light of recent developments, announcing the new King Kong of graphics cards makes a lot of sense. So yes ladies and gentlemen, big Maxwell is here! As such, today we review, test, benchmark and pretty much spank that all new GeForce GTX Titan X including a very nice overclock. It surely hasn't been a long wait as in-between the introduction announcement and launch there have been two weeks. But yeah, the 12 GB beast has arrived. The GPU empowering the GeForce Titan-X will be based on Maxwell but this one will have a massive transistor count, it actually is the same GM200 GPU that currently feeds the Quadro M6000.

This product has a massive 12 GB frame buffer, compared to the GeForce GTX 980 a third more shader processors accumulating up-to 3072 of them sitting in a GPU that has a whopping 8 Billion transistors (that's 5 Billion on the GeForce GTX 980). The card looks pretty identical to previous models with subtle changes here and there and now has a dark nickel alloy cooler shroud. There is now also a nice green LED in the fan housing and the logo is displayed in white. The product has higher than expected core and boost clock frequencies and the memory cruises along at 1753 MHz (x4 = 7.0 Gbps effective).

NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X Review

With NVIDIA's Maxwell GPU-based cards, notably the impressive GTX 980, the chipmaker set a new standard in the video card market. Their previous flagship card had a Maxwell GM204 GPU using the same 28nm manufacturing process found in previous generation Kepler GPUs, yet it managed to overall provide comparable performance at 1080p resolution. The GTX 980 also managed to widen the performance gap when it came to 4K gaming, all with an impressively low TDP of just 165W. That, however, wouldn't be NVIDIA's last chapter in the Maxwell saga!

On the second day of the Game Developer Conference (GDC) that took place in San Fransisco earlier this month, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang made a surprise appearance during Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney's keynote concerning Unreal Engine 4 and VR (virtual reality) technology. During this friendly keynote-hijack, Huang announced what he promised to be the fastest, most powerful graphics card in the world, the GTX Titan X. Looking at the big picture and considering where PC and console gaming in general seems to be heading, it's no surprise that NVIDIA's next flagship GPU was announced as an answer to Sweeney's question about the existence of a video card capable of mustering enough power to take on the increasing demands of the gaming industry.

During this initial reveal, only a few pieces of information about NVIDIA’s next flagship GPU were made available. The Titan X is based on the Maxwell architecture and comes with 12 GB of memory and 8 billion transistors. While not enough to give a concrete idea about performance levels, it certainly did its part in creating a great deal of anticipation in the tech-world as well as some crazy rumors across the net. The official release will be made today, March 17, 2015 during the GTC (GPU Technology Conference) opening keynote featuring NVIDIA's Huang… again!

NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X Review

What more is there left to say? The GTX Titan X is nothing short of a game changer in every sense of the words. There is not a single game that it cannot play well with high end settings at 2560 x 1440 and easily makes 4K gaming a reality when you tweak the settings a bit and employ NVIDIA's own MFAA technology. There was not a single gaming test I ran where it was not the highest performing card in the comparison. A clean sweep if you will.

Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X Review: Bloody fast, surprisingly efficient

The GeForce Titan X is a processing powerhorse, with its GM200 chip carrying six graphics processing clusters, 24 streaming multiprocessors with 3072 CUDA cores. Combined with six 64-bit memory controllers (384-bit) for a total 12GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 7GHz, that's 50% more cores and memory bandwidth than today's single-GPU king, the GeForce GTX 980, released only six months ago. With those numbers we're eager to see what this card is capable of.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X Review: Efficient, Powerful @ HotHardware.com

A couple of weeks back at GDC, in a bit of a surprise move considering NVIDIA’s CEO Jen Hsun Huang just left the stage at the company’s own GPU Technology Conference (GTC), the GeForce GTX Titan X was unveiled. The unveiling, which took place during one of EPIC’s talks, was somewhat casual and only a couple of details were disclosed. Jen Hsun said that GeForce GTX Titan X cards featured 12GB of memory and a GPU that packed in roughly 8 billion transistors. Besides whatever we could discern from a few quick pictures, no other details were given.

Today though, we can give you the full scoop. We’ve have a GeForce GTX Titan X in house for a little while now and have taken it for a spin, alongside some of NVIDIA’s other high-end cards—AMD’s too...

NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X Video Card Review

We’ve talked so much about the NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X video card lately that is feels odd to write an introduction for its official reveal, so we’ll just jump right into it. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X uses the ‘big’ GM200 ‘Maxwell’ GPU like many thought and has 3072 CUDA cores clocked at 1000MHz for the base clock and 1075MHz on the boost clock. The incredible 12GB of GDDR5 memory being used for the frame buffer runs on a 384-bit memory bus and is clocked at 7010MHz. The end result is what NVIDIA is calling the World’s fastest GPU and with specifications like that no other single-GPU card on the market will be able to touch this behemoth. Sure, the 12288MB of GDDR5 memory is overkill even in this day and age of 4K Ultra HD gaming, but for a flagship card who cares, right? The GeForce GTX Titan X was designed for gamers that desire the best card that NVIDIA has to offer regardless of the price to ensure they can game with the image quality settings cranked up no matter the resolution. NVIDIA calls these users ‘ultra-enthusiast gamers’ and knows that they are not your typical price conscious consumers.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X is priced at $999 and the card is being hard launched today, so if you are reading this on launch morning online retailers like Amazon, Newegg, TigerDirect, NCIX and others should be ready to take your money and to ship you out a GeForce GTX Titan X.

NVIDIA GeForce Titan X 12GB GPU Review

I don’t know if you experience the same wants as I do, but personally, I always want to have the best quality items available. The fact of the matter is, in most cases, I really don’t need to purchase the best because I may not be using it in the same way as a professional would. Take, for example, buying tools so I can work on my home. I typically buy higher quality tools that are designed for a contractor who would use the tool daily in their tasks. My reasoning is usually that the item will last longer since I won’t be beating on it as badly, where I might burn out the “home owner special” by abusing it.

This is one of my traits that my spouse busts my chops about all the time. She doesn’t understand why I typically spend so much money on my tools and items for the home. I guess in a sense I have a no compromise attitude, where I don’t want to sacrifice quality for a little bit of money. This is an attitude that carries forth to my computer usage as well and is often tough to get past. I always want to have the best item on the market. Luckily, the turnover of computer equipment has changed in the past few years and has slowed down some, making it possible to save a little bit of money and get what I really want; computer equipment without compromising cost vs power.

NVIDIA GTX TITAN X Performance Review

NVIDIA’s TITAN series has always been about delivering the highest possible performance to both gamers and developers but the new TITAN X does things a bit differently. While it is still a processing powerhouse with roots firmly planted in the CUDA developer field, the goals this time around are distinctively more gamer-centric.

When the GTX 980 and its GM204 core was introduced to widen their lead against AMD’s Hawaii, everyone knew that the Maxwell architecture had so much more to offer. The GM204 was and will always be NVIDIA’s mid-tier core that parades around in an enthusiast graphics card due to a lack of pressure from the Radeon lineup. With that in mind, NVIDIA was able to hold onto their larger cores until inventory built up and yields improved. Why prematurely launch something if there’s nothing for it to compete against, right? Hence TITAN X has been born with a fully enabled GM200 core and it represents a “catch me if you can” challenge for AMD who now know exactly what it’s going to take to challenge the Maxwell in its current form.
