Samsung Omnia 7 smartphone @ PCSTATS
A funny thing happened during the course of this article—life got in the way. And in the few weeks that things were delayed, the PC graphics landscape changed dramatically. A couple of weeks before NVIDIA unleashed the GeForce GTX 580 onto the world, MSI and Gigabyte readied a pair of the most innovative GeForce GTX 480 cards to hit the market. Not only were the cards factory overclocked, but they featured custom coolers, re-worked PCBs, and hardcore, enthusiast-class features not found on any other GTX 480. MSI and Gigabyte sent us these custom GTX 480s, and just before putting the finishing touches on the piece, my wife went into labor, the GeForce GTX 580 hit, a few other launches needed coverage (including the just released GTX 570), and badabing badaboom, here we are today....

Gainward GeForce GTX 570 1280MB Goes Like Hell Video Card Overclocked @ PCSTATS
After the first impressions obtained (and put to words on our website) not so long ago, now, after almost a month, we're allowed to officially present to you one of the first Windows Phone 7 smartphones. The hardware part of the device hasn't changed one bit, but subtle changes in the operating systems are evident compared to the version that we saw before. A very elegant casing made of plastic and light alloys gives a positive impression of the overall production quality. Without unnecessary details, and a simplistic design, mostly due to its cubical shape, it's perfectly fit for any situationÂ…... [INSIDEHW] via PCSTATS

Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2GB DDR5 DX11 Video Card Review @ PCSTATS
Not too long ago NVIDIA introduced the GeForce GTX 480, and shortly after the feature reduced GTX 470. Just a few months later, the top model was replaced by the GTX 580. Before the year 2010 is even over, NVIDIA takes the downsizing step as well in the 500 series: The GeForce GTX 570 is based on a feature reduced GTX 580 chip. HT4U.net presents, if price-performance is appealing.... [REVIEWS] via PCSTATS

3DMark 11 Overview @ PCSTATS

Notebook vendors show no interest in Oak Trail @ PCSTATS
"As DDR3 has evolved the opportunity for manufacturers to create high performance 12GB kits has drawn closer and today one of the major players in this industry, Corsair, have sent us their new DDR3-1600 12GB triple channel kit to test. In fact we have two of these and thanks to a very aggressive price they should be within reach of most consumers building (or upgrading) an X58/i7 based system. Are they worth buying? Let's find out." ... [HARDWAREHEAVEN] via PCSTATS

Asustek acquires over 51% stake in Aaeon via subsidiary @ PCSTATS
Because Acer and Asustek Computer have both shown their unwillingness to launch Oak Trail-based tablet PCs, Intel has recently been aggressively trying to persuade these vendors with price discounts and is hoping Asustek and Hewlett-Packard (HP), which are still undecided, will change their minds and fully support the platform, according to sources from notebook players. ...

Coolermaster HAF 932 @ PCSTATS
Gaming keyboards have been a great market for Logitech and Ideazone (AKA SteelSeries). Since their initiation into the market, their blinky lights have won the heart of gamers all around the world. For me personally I have found gaming keyboard cumbersome and obnoxious and most of the time I found myself deeply confused about what else to add to my huge bank of macro keys. Then Logitech came out with and LCD panel and I will admit that was really cool, on paper, then in practicality, I haven't looked at my G15's LCD display since the first week I bought it. Thermaltake took their time before tossing their hat into the gaming peripheral ring and again on paper it seems like all the patience paid off but let's see if the features on the Thermaltake Challenger eSport Gaming Keyboard Pro really do add up to a win for Thermaltake or a big cumbersome lump of blinky uselessness: ...

Lian Li PC-Q08 Mini-ITX Cube Case Review @ PCSTATS
"Some readers may remember that my first review of a GTX460 card was pretty negative – quite simply, the 768MB version I had been sent to test was no better than my GTX275 other than the DX11 capabilities, and in fact scored lower in most benchmarks than my older gen card. However, today I am reviewing the 1GB version – and not only that, the Inno3D “OC” version which is pre-overclocked to 820MHz core, 950MHz memory and a shader clock of 1640MHz – quite a step up from standard clocks (675MHz, 900Mhz, 1350Mhz respectively)."...

FaceVsion TouchCam N1 720p Review @ PCSTATS
“Mini-ITX motherboards are becoming more and more powerful and with that we can do a lot more with them. Their small size and low cost makes them perfect for home theater PC’s (HTPC’s). When putting together your HTPC system you want a case that is very visually appealing, but still has enough room for all of your media drives and has the necessary connections for easy file transfers. Today we will taking a look at the PC-Q08 from Lian Li which has room for 6 3.5-inch hard drives has 2 front mounted USB 3.0 ports." ... [THINKCOMPUTERS] via PCSTATS

Xigmatek Asgard II Computer Case Review @ PCSTATS
"We knew coming into this review that AMD's Radeon HD 6970 video card wouldn't be able to beat out the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 and we know that will upset many of the AMD fans that have been waiting for this card. AMD told us that NVIDIA would have them beat when it comes to single card performance, but that they would have a much better price point. At $369 the AMD Radeon HD 6970 is priced to compete with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 and we have to say the two cards traded blows. In the 11 benchmarks that we ran the GeForce GTX 570 won six and the Radeon HD 6970 won five of them. As you can see these two cards are very close in terms of gaming performance and even the price tag is pretty close..."... [LEGITREVIEWS] via PCSTATS

Palit GeForce GTX 570 Sonic Platinum @ PCSTATS
Hot on the heels of the arrival of their flagship GeForce GTX 580, NVIDIA is launching another new graphics card today, based on the GF110 GPU. As we’ve come to expect from NVIDIA, and AMD for that matter, when a new GPU arrives, derivatives based on pared down version of the chip typically get introduced at some point, but with somewhat lower specifications. Such is the case with the GeForce GTX 570 we’ll be showing you here today. It’s almost funny to say “somewhat lower specifications”, however, because the GeForce GTX 570 is one heck of a powerful graphics card, as you’ll see. We’ve got the full specifications outlined, followed by a complete set of performance numbers using both a reference card and factory overclocked model from EVGA—the GeForce GTX 570 SuperClocked Edition... ...

Galaxis Atlus Mid-Tower Case @ PCSTATS
"As the gaming industry has evolved, peripherals have been developed alongside it. Interestingly, as time has gone on there's been a bit of seperation between gamers and the hardware that they have available to them. While there are keyboards and mice out there that are festooned with lights, macro keys and outlandish styling, there's another branch that ephasises something different. This second way of doing things is a little more streamlined. It focuses on speed, it's serious and often expensive. More and more pro-gamers are now heading in this direction and the product we're looking at today is no different. Lauded by some gamers that most people will never have heard of, the Zowie Celeritas comes with mechanical switches, a sleek black paint job and lots of internal cleverness to have you gaming at your best. Let's see how it compares to the boards we've reviewed in the past. "... [XSREVIEWS] via PCSTATS

Antec Lanboy Air @ PCSTATS
"The Atlus case by Galaxis is a mid-tower offering supporting standard ATX mainboards, four external 5.25" drive bays and one external 3.5" bay. It has a large side intake fan, blue LED lighting and a top control panel. We have seen a variety of mid-tower offerings lately and the feature set from the outside looks typical, though with the USB and audio ports on the top I would expect more of a floor placement. Follow along as we take a closer look. " ... [OCIA] via PCSTATS
