NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 and 980 Adopted by Gaming PC Vendors

NVIDIA released the GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 graphics cards the other day, based on the Maxwell graphics processing unit architecture. It, thus, stands to reason that gaming PC vendors would be all over them. We've already seen some computers adopting the cards, or one of them (the GTX 980 in particular). The Syber Vapor Xtreme comes to mind. However, the list of gaming systems that now features a Maxwell graphics card from NVIDIA is far longer than one or two entries. There are systems from Velocity Micro, Origin PC and Maingear available as well, among others. The computers vary in price depending on what kind of hardware you select. It's not just the graphics after all, but the SSD/HDD, RAM, processor, motherboard and accessories...

K|NGP|N and TiN Use EVGA GeForce GTX 980 to Set GPU Overclocking Record

The new GeForce GTX 980 graphics card from NVIDIA is not powered by the best possible Maxwell graphics processing unit, since the company is holding the GM200/GM210 in reserve. However, it still outperforms every other NVIDIA single-GPU card, including the GTX 780 Ti that has certain advantages. Some reviews say so at least. It appears that professional overclockers decided to see for themselves just what the new GM204-400 GPU could do. Fast forward to the present time and voila! K|NGP|N and TiN have not only confirmed that the GTX 980 is an “overclocking monster,” but they even used it to set new records in 3DMark Fire Strike and Fire Strike Extreme benchmark. The scores were of over 19,000 and 9,000, respectively. The actual video...

Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Specs Leak Out: 13.3-Inch Screen, 3200 x 1800 Res, Intel Core M

Not so long ago, at the Intel Developer Forum, the chip giant talked about the first upcoming tablets and laptops to arrive bundling the Intel Core M platform, among which we could find the ASUS Zenbook UX305, Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2 and HP Envy x2 Duo to name just a few. But we saw no trace of Lenovo’s upcoming Yoga 3 Pro convertible which surfaced online not so long ago. Granted, the products Intel talked about at IDF are expected to make it to retail before Christmas, whereas the next-gen Yoga Pro might arrive in shops a little bit later on. Anyway, we already know the Yoga 3 Pro will be powered by an Intel Core M-5Y70 chip, but apart from that the specs of the 2-in-1 remain a mystery. The veil lifts off most specs of the Lenovo...
