Technical Specifications of AMD Radeon HD 6770 and 6750

2010-09-27T04:46:00.000-07:00

Since the Chinese website Chiphell, filter slide with details of the GPU Barts Barts XT PRO and AMD chips the new family of DirectX 11 code known as Northern Islands, and possibly go on sale under the trade name Radeon HD 6750 and 6770 respectively.

According to the data shows that the core Barts is based on the architecture Cypress (the high end of the 1 st family DirectX 11 Evergreen), and suggests that performance will be similar to them (HD 5830, 5850 and 5870), a fact that coincides with previous rumors .

PRO Barts

According to the table specifications are: core running at 700 to 725MHz, 10 SIMD engines, 40 texture units, 800 shader processors (streams), 32 ROPs, 1GB of GDDR5 memory with 256-bit bus running at 4GHz, and TDP less than 150W. This GPU is to the same market as the Geforce GTX 460 768MB.

Barts XT

According to the table specifications are: core running at 850MHz, 12 SIMD engines, 48 texture units, 960 shader processors (streams), 32 ROPs, 1GB of GDDR5 memory with 256-bit bus running at 4.2GHz, and a greater TDP 150W. This GPU is to the same market as the Geforce GTX 460 1GB.
Conclusions

These data differ from those that leaked from Donanim Have a week ago , but would be sufficient to conclude that most likely the old rumors suggesting that Northern Islands scheme would use a 4-way shaders , would be false, because the figures do not fit with specifications, for example if we take the Radeon HD 6770 would: 12 (SIMD) x16 (processors) x5 (track) = 960 (streams), if the shaders were 4-way would have 768 streams, although the possibility remains that have raised the number of processors per cluster at 20 instead of 16 used in Evergreen, but it would be very remote.

The HD 6750 seems to be almost identical in specifications to the current Radeon HD 5770, except that it has doubled the number of ROPs (16 to 32), the number of units Z / Stencil (64 to 128), and the bus memory (128 bits to 256 bits), but at a lower frequency (4.8GHz vs 4Ghz), and apparently these differences are sufficient to have a similar performance to the GTX 460 768MB (ie the HD 6750 would be 25% higher than a HD 5770), maintaining a lower consumption of the latter. The HD 6770 due to its higher number of shaders (17% higher than the HD 6750) and higher clocks (core and memory), could easily beat the GTX 460 1GB.

Prototype VGA core based on Barts XT / Radeon HD 6770

Quite apart from the performance, shows that in the prototypes that were leaked a few days ago, apparently the core Barts requires less bulky cooling solutions than the current average range, although it sounds contradictory by increased consumption (108W HD 5770 and 150W near the HD 6750). Keep you informed.

The final list of specifications of the two GPUs based on the new 'Fermi' architecture, differ in a number of earlier rumors, it is read by Hardware-Infos. Thus, the final clock speed of the flagship GTX 480 with 700MHz significantly higher than previously expected 625MHz, but the 480 shader cores less than the previously suggested 512 shader units. Also expected that the TDP would come to 300W, but Nvidia has finally within the limit of 250W managed to keep.

The GTX 470 provides, in comparison with the significantly more expensive GTX 480, on several levels. So a shader cluster is activated to lower the total number of shader units leads to 448.

Nvidia GeForce GTX480 allows gamers to play with systems

2010-03-01T22:19:00.000-08:00

Nvidia has shown some systems with GeForce GTX480 cards on the show floor at Cebit with the Super Sonic Rocketsled demo. Gamers have the opportunity to play DirectX 11 demo.

Initially the expectation was that the Nvidia GTX470 and the GTX480 would introduce at the Cebit, but last week it was announced that this March will take place during a late-game event in Boston. However, Nvidia has for several game systems throughout the Cebit exhibition floor with a map-based architecture include the GF100.

The repeatedly delayed new generation of cards is the subject of speculation for months. Among others is doubt as to the availability of the GF100 cards after the launch. With the Nvidia demo lets at least see that it has finished working GTX480 models. The cards are in a housing of the German manufacturer Systea, but the window on the side was taped to the inside. So it was not possible to look in the console to work.

The systems run a playable version of Super Sonic Rocketsled demo that Nvidia in January on a system with three-GF100 cards in SLI mode demonstrated. The computers at the Cebit include only one single Geforce card. The demo suggests other gamers, the speed of the rocket sled to determine, to the point where it crashes.

New version of Tribler offers faster search 'Youtube channels'

2010-02-27T07:02:00.000-08:00

The Tribler team from the TU Delft has a new version of its BitTorrent client released. Tribler V5.2 is completely decentralized and allows for distributed moderation, including through video channels that each user can start.

"After the development of Napster, Gnutella, eDonkey, Kazaa and BitTorrent, the P2P development against a wall gone, we try to Tribler to break," said Johan Pouwelse of the Tribler team. Tribler is also around, although a year has remained quiet, but Friday the developers version 5.2 released. It is still officially a beta, but the final version, according Pouwelse appear within a few days.

"Research shows that users of public BitTorrent community's seeding 2 hours, and that this private community located on 20 hours," says Pouwelse, that the p2p research at TU Delft leads. With Tribler 5.2 developers also seek the creation of private communities to promote, among other "channels", a sort of RSS feeds which anyone can subscribe. The program is for example the Movies RSS-Legal Torrents processed. Users can also start their own channel: "It works just like Youtube channels. You can speak as a private channel to start", says Pouwelse.

The more subscribers a channel, the higher the items in this channel in the search results. Example, users can identify spam in channels, then the contents of that channel gets a lower moderation. "Tribler V5.2 works completely decentralized. One problem is the control of polluted files and spam. With Distributed moderation we try to solve," explains Pouwelse. Bittorrent has no central servers in his future: "It provides virtually unlimited scalability."

In central distribution must be user comments often as a control for bad files. The Tribler developers therefore experimenting with a comment system and to look at integrating an IM protocol based on XMPP. The latter will not be introduced before the summer.

The search engine is overhauled. "We can generate 98 percent of the results within one seconds. We also use a Google-like algorithm to determine relevance of the results." Furthermore, users can build a reputation. "This is the karma of Tribler system," explains Pouwelse out: who contributes much to a channel, get a good reputation. So, people without a high upload speed but to build a good reputation. "It is no such client, but we think it to people with good reputations such remuneration by way of priority in video-on-demand," he concludes.

Microsoft: Windows 7 detects battery problems correctly

2010-02-10T00:53:00.001-08:00

According to Microsoft, the problem with the battery life and the corresponding messages that users receive about Windows 7, not the fault of the OS. The batteries would actually show problems.

Last week, published reports that Windows 7 problems with laptop batteries incorrectly spotted. The software would lower battery life concerns and even after installing a different operating system on, the batteries are not full. Microsoft has investigated the incidents while in contact with the complaining customer, help desks and PC manufacturers. Moreover, the software has the feature in Windows 7 again thoroughly examined, said Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows division at Microsoft.

"In all cases examined Windows 7 simply correct a faltering battery detected" Sinofsky wrote. He points out that batteries eventually always deteriorate after about 12 months should be charged more noticeable.

According Sinofsky batteries can give an indication of the capacity in the last full charge, and Windows 7 on the basis of the original capacity of the model calculates the degree of degradation. For more than 60 percent degradation Windows 7 alarm strikes. Windows XP and Vista do not give such reports.

The problem with reports of poor battery capacity would also be caused by the unfamiliarity of users with the state of their batteries. Also complaints about the battery status of new PCs, according to Sinofsky showed consistently that the cause was faulty hardware. Microsoft recommends that users get the message and think that their batteries are in good condition, to contact their laptop manufacturer to incorporate.

How to increase your Internet speed

2010-02-09T01:31:00.000-08:00

Let us assume that I am a person with a computer with Internet connection and Windows XP operating system. If I have a problem I have broadband, operating system, by default, reserve about 20% of broadband for certain transactions. This happens in all cases, whether in office or at home. In office is designed to avoid collapsing the net while at home ... does not make sense right?

Well, let's see how turn off the system by changing the registry key in case you have the Professional version of Windows XP is pretty easy.

To view the bandwidth limit should go to the Start button and click Run. One view is we open the Run window, we introduce into the text field gpedit.msc. This will lead to a new Group Policy window, where you will click on the right, under Computer Configuration, then Administrative Templates. Finally the route we follow is Network and QoS Packet Scheduler.

Once we got there only have to enter the command reserved bandwidth limit, and that will enable the function and value as a 0. It is accepted and we have our maximum bandwidth.

In this kind of thing you do not normally notice, but once you do, these steps the connection speed will be increased significantly.

How to increase the power of your laptop WIFI?

2010-02-09T00:50:00.002-08:00

More than six months ago I bought a Toshiba Satellite with whom I have been very happy and the laptop has been one of my best buys. But I started having problems with wireless connection.

The WIFI was cut periodically, seemed insufficient coverage and the speed was noticeably slower than LAN cable. Over time it seemed normal to be wireless and I chalked it down as my portable antenna.

But a couple of days ago I discovered that you can increase the power and reach of the antenna, as by default this with low power. Curiously this setting to the minimum defined by default in at least three more portable as I can see and improve quality WIFI. This is to save power.

It may seem obvious but I never imagined the existence of this poor settings until I was about to call for service and now that I've made top works like a charm, does not fall at all and I am surprised that the speed is as fast that cable (I had been accustomed to a certain slowness).

I really would have saved much trouble before I found out, I hope to serve you and improve the quality of your connection!

Steps to make the most of the WiFi signal:
Button: Start> Control Panel> Right click the mouse over the icon: Network Connections> Click on: Properties
Button: Settings.
Tab: Advanced.
Search options: Power management and Transmit power. Both Intel and Atheros WiFi chips have proven to work similarly or equivalent. In any event of such option on your laptop must be in the same place with name equivalent.
Putting the bars at full power.
Save changes.

Another cause of bad reception WiFi, you might have set the energy saver mode usually be enabled in laptops. It is advisable to maximize the power of the computer, but spend a lot of battery. At the end of the day, for something you paid for the hardware.

As a bonus, I recommend NetStumbler. It is the best and most simple program to scan multiple WIFI networks and shows all your data.

How to Boost Speed of Internet

2010-02-08T21:27:00.000-08:00

Ultimately frustrated by the delay of the Internet. In the office, we have a good connection, and yet the Internet is too slow at times. Where is delayed more often in downloading pages, but in resolving the DNS, ie when it appears on the bottom "Resolving address ...".

If you have this problem, and if you phone user or Speedy (which is very likely), a solution to my is going great I was changing my DNS servers to OpenDNS. Do not take more than 2 minutes and is completely free. I teach you how in 5 steps:

1. Enter: Start> Control Panel> Network and Internet Connections> Network Connections

2. There you will find an icon for your network connection. Usually called Local Area Connection or Wireless Network Connections. Let them right click and select where it says Properties

3. Double click where it says Internet Protocol TCP / IP

4. Where it says Primary DNS, put the following: 208.67.222.222

5. Where it says Secondary DNS, put the following: 208.67.220.220

It's free, what switches to use this? What is the benefit?

Good question. OpenDNS it does is put a search engine that they have, just in case you have typed the address incorrectly in your browser. That is, only if you make a mistake in typing the address, you'll see the page for them, otherwise not. This page will help you find the address you want, and to solve this will show some form of advertising. Again, this will only happen when they enter an address that does not exist.

Accept everything and go! Your Internet should start to be much, MUCH faster.

Anything extra I should do?

No. But if you want additional options such as filter porn sites for example, go to OpenDNS and register. There you can put content filters to your children, or company personnel do not enter to pages you consider inappropriate or improper. This is an optional step, but which is also free, no charge for use.

Microsoft SideWinder X4 gaming keyboard - Review

2010-02-08T02:05:00.000-08:00

With the X4 Microsoft after another X6 SideWinder keyboard from the series in the offer. At first glance, you looks a bit tidier than the X6, but how it looks under the hood?

The SideWinder Keyboard X4 is the latest Gamer Keyboard from Microsoft: Equipped with enhanced anti-ghosting technology that will be up to 26 keys simultaneously depressible. According to Microsoft, the keyboard detects each key and can easily assign the respective signals, are recorded so that even complex key combinations. In practice, we have so far been able to provoke any "blocked" button, but can only test a detailed (with all the usual shortcuts Keywords: Duckjump) bring final clarity.

The X4 offers on the left side of the Keyboard 6 large macro keys that allow a switch up to 18 macro keys on 3 levels. Positive: Thanks to three small LEDs you can see at a glance which of the three grade levels active. In addition, offers the Software another 6 profiles for different applications / games - in terms of macros, there is therefore no criticism for the X4 points.

To the right of the Layers of choice is positioned record button for on-the-fly macro recording. Here are six keys for multimedia control and one for the lighting. The keys can be operated safely because of their size and fit into a coherent overall picture of the keyboard. Succeeded: Microsoft is not overloaded with unnecessary Gadgets Special keys such as standby or mail shortcuts. That is above the number pad a little extra keys for the calculator - thanks Microsoft.

Compared with the X6 is an orderly positioning and intelligent selection of these is no retrogression. However, the X6 has two large knobs for the lights and the volume - this ultimately determines the taste. The fact is, however, that the X4 with the relatively squat contours can be transported more easily and more coherent, stylish appear. The X6 has a big advantage, however - here is the number pad for easy transport decrease, that is not the X4.

Thanks to the clear memory option in six profiles can be assigned to the macros of the different games or game characters: For example, a profile can be associated with a game so loaded when the game will automatically start the appropriate keyboard layout. But one might even take a break and play not just once can about the Mode Switch button between the normal and the gaming mode functions back and forth running. Presumably when you switch to reactivate Windows key, but here only the final test will bring clarity.

The red-colored lighting can be adjusted in three stages and is on par with the competition. While it is dispensed in different colors, but the furnishing purists follows the "serious" gaming approach and is only partially a minus point - if at all.

In terms of ergonomics, however, currently divorced in the minds of our editorial staff. Stumbling block is rigidly built-palm rest. For some editorial colleagues is the "rise" too steep and there is a constant feeling that one key to achieving the upper hand should increase slightly. Other colleagues could not confirm the problem, however. Again, our tip: Tell you the technology to a keyboard, you should still never on a trial run in the technology market, losing your confidence.

The pressure points of the half-height keys are good, the attack is crisp and defined, but the buttons seem to have some more game than usual. The overall layout of the keyboard is exemplary because in standard form. In contrast to the X6 Microsoft positioned the ESC key again is Flush with the main keypad (when the X6 is the ESC key on the macro keys) - this is even without looking at the keyboard each key are sure to find and execute.

The new SideWinder keyboard X4 is from 3 March for around 60 euros available. The market price will level off after a few weeks probably at 45 euros, because the X6 is currently trading for around 50 euros. And, because the biggest competition, which is traded Logitech G11, also for about 45 euros.

Conclusion: The X4 fits seamlessly with the "adult" gaming keyboards on the desk and makes a good figure. Technically correct, here finally decides the purse and the subjective feelings on the ergonomics buy.

The benefit of an even larger image may come from, who combines the Medion Akoya E7212 via the integrated HDMI port or the new display port with a high resolution TV or computer monitor.

The equipment performed flawlessly, with network and communication components: in addition to wireless LAN and Gigabit LAN interface has been thought of an integrated webcam, a microphone, a headphone jack and two integrated speakers.
