AMD Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity Edition pictured

We know all about the Radeon HD 5870 by now, but what of its six-output supporting cousin the Eyefinity Edition?آ Chinese site PC Pop has managed to snag pictures aplenty of this new board which allows you to make the most of AMD's Eyefinity technology, thanks not only to those additional outputs (there are six mini DisplayPort outputs on the card) but also via a 2GB frame buffer (and, it seems, high power consumption with a combination of six-pin and eight-pin PCI Express power connectors required).

Naturally, the text is all in Chinese, but the pictures of the board are universal, so head on over to their site to have a look.

NVIDIA reports $107.6 million third quarter profit

It's been a rough time for NVIDIA of late, but despite their continuing problems they've still succeeded in returning to profit for the third quarter of this current financial year.

After a few tough quarters, Nvidia is finally out of the red. The company has posted $107.6 million in net profits for the third quarter of its 2010 fiscal year (ended on October 25), contrasting with sizable losses in its fiscal Q2, fiscal Q1, and the fourth quarter of its previous fiscal year.

Nvidia actually managed to beat last year's numbers, posting 6% higher revenue and 74% higher net profits. Company CEO Jen-Hsun Huang credits "healthy market demand across the board" for the growth, adding that Nvidia saw improvements in each of its businesses. That growth sounds roughly in line with what AMD and Intel have reported recently.

The Tech Report have some more details.
