StarCraft 2 closed beta launching this month
Still impatiently waiting for Starcraft 2 to ship?آ The good news is that a closed beta of the game will supposedly debut later this month, although it's still likely to be mid-2010 before the game appears in its final form.
The pre-release multiplayer beta for StarCraft II is "ready to launch this month," developer Blizzard Entertainment has announced.
The revelation came while Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime was speaking to investors, accompanied by the slide to the left.
"We are slated to begin closed beta testing this month," he said, explaining that the multiplayer test will be available to participants across various countries.

AMD Radeon HD 5830 specifications revealed?
We've discussed before how much we'd love to see a direct replacement for AMD's Radeon HD 4890 from the company's DirectX 11 architecture in performance and pricing terms, and the Radeon HD 5830 looks well placed to deliver on this requirement - Fudzilla have the latest speculation on the pricing and specification of this forthcoming board.
The card is based on AMD's Cypress LE core, used in HD 5850 cards, but it features fewer shaders, 1280 instead of 1440 on the HD 5850. It also has 60 texture units compared to 72 on the HD 5850. All in all it doesn't sound like AMD crippled it too much and we can assume it will still pack quite a punch. The GPU clock is apparently set at 750MHz, which is 25MHz faster than the reference HD 5850. The higher clock comes as a surprise, but bear in mind that these are unofficial specs and we're taking them with a grain of salt.
The card will feature 1GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1000MHz, just like the HD 5850. It will closely resemble the HD 5850, as it will most likely use the same PCB and cooler. It features support for ATI Eyefinity and it packs two DVI outs, as well as HDMI and DisplayPort connectors.
