Hello News Partner: Benchmark Reviews has released a new article which your readers might enjoy. We would be grateful if you would please share it with them. TITLE: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 Compute Video Card ( -at -) Benchmark Reviews DESCRIPTION: Hot on the heels of a rapid-succession GeForce 9800 GX2 and GeForce 9800 GTX launch only two short months ago, NVIDIA now officially unveils the GeForce GTX 280 and GTX 260 video cards. Using the fastest and most-powerful graphics processor NVIDIA has ever developed, both new GeForce products are constructed from a freshly-minted GT200 graphics processor. Both the GTX 280 and GTX 260 products position themselves at the very highest segment of the GeForce product line. NVIDIA Estimates that the GeForce GTX 280 will be introduced at $649, while the similarly powerful GeForce GTX 260 will enter the $399 price point. If the competition ever had a very good reason to be concerned with their future, it would be right now.

Hi, We've just posted a new article on our website, Hardware Secrets. Title: GeForce GTX 200 Series Architecture Link: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/569 Category: Articles Summary: An overview of the architecture used by the new GeForce GTX 200 series of graphic processing units (GPU’s) from nVidia. Here is a snippet: "Like GeForce 8 and GeForce 9 the new GeForce GTX 200 series is also a DirectX 10 (i.e. shader 4.0) hardware, but using a different architecture. Let's see what is new." A news post would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Gabriel Torres Editor-in-Chief Hardware Secrets http://www.hardwaresecrets.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Today we look at the XFX GTX 280: A Preview of What's to Come. SNIP: Bjorn3D will kick off our on-going coverage of this gala event with a detailed preview of the flagship of the line, the GeForce GTX 280 provided to us by XFX. For clarity's sake notice we said 'on-going' and 'preview'. As with the debut of any new generation of graphical product there is almost always a portion of the manufacturer's final vision of that device that is either immature or incomplete, and the GTX 280 is certainly no exception to that premise. We fully intend to go into great detail in this preview about what's currently available and what you can expect in the future from the NVIDIA 200 series of graphical products. For sake of this introduction, suffice it to say the features available for today's product preview are a splash in the pan compared to what will be available shortly after this launch day. Thankfully all these missing features are software controlled and the final products are nearing release. http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1293 A post on your site would be great if you can. Thank you, Scott -----------------------------------------

A news post would be great. OCC has published a new review on the XFX GTX 280 Here is a quote from the review: Quote: "I was curious to see just how far the latest and greatest from Nvidia could be pushed, and I was able to gain 112 MHz on the GPU core, 147MHz on the memory and 237MHz on the Shader clock speeds. These represent increases of 16% on the GPU, 12% on the memory and 15% on the Shader clocks. 100+ MHz on all three seems like a lot, but the GTX 280 does not have the overclocking headroom that the 9-series GPUs have. Everyone's mileage may vary when it comes to overclocking, as you well know. In today's performance hungry world, the video card manufacturers have given us a little bit for free, so to speak, and these increased clock speeds did improve performance across the board during the testing phase of this review. With expectations of increased performance bouncing around the inside of my skull, let's see just how well the GTX 280 performs."

Dear Editors, we just posted a new article which might be interesting to your readers. A post in your news section would be appreciated. Title: Point of View GeForce GTX 280 Assassins Creed Edition Link: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Point_Of_View/GeForce_GTX_280 Brief: NVIDIA's new GTX 280 graphics cards have just been released. Point of View's GeForce GTX 280 is an implementation of the NVIDIA reference design. The GTX 280 offers amazing performance improvements and can even beat the GeForce 9800 GX2. But performance comes at a cost, at $649 you need a fat wallet to be able to afford this card.

Currently the fastest performing dual GPU product is the 9800 GX2 and in the single GPU arena the 8800 Ultra still leads the way, even if availability is very limited. Despite having the fastest cards available Nvidia are not content to wait on the competition catching them and today we have the release of new high end and mainstream products, the GeForce GTX 260 and GTX 280. We have two of these new products in our test labs today. The first is Zotacs GTX 280 AMP! Edition, a factory overclocked sample of the high end model and the other is a reference design GTX 260. We will be testing with a selection of the latest games at resolutions up to 2560x1600 as well as delving into some Blu-Ray playback and card overclocking in order to establish how much of an improvement they are, if any, over the last generation of Nvidia hardware. http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews.php?reviewid=579&pageid=1 DriverHeaven and GamingHeaven News Mailer

Good Morning All, NVIDIA has officially take the wraps of their latest flagship core GPU architecture and the GeForce GTX 280 / 260 series of graphics cards. We’ve got full coverage for you here, with gaming and GPU benchmarks, power numbers, the works. Direct Link: HYPERLINK "http://www.hothardware.com/articles/NVIDIA_GeForce_GTX_280_and_GTX_260_Unle'>http://www.hothardware.com/articles/NVIDIA_GeForce_GTX_280_and_GTX_260_Unle ashed/"http://www.hothardware.com/articles/NVIDIA_GeForce_GTX_280_and_GTX_26 0_Unleashed/ Snip: “The high-end 280 card is powered by NVIDIA's 1.4 billion transistor GT200 GPU, produced on TSMC's 65nm process node and is the largest, most complex chip TSMC has ever manufactured. Beyond just a larger number of stream processing units, the GT200 also supports three times the number of threads in flight, as NVIDIA's previous G80, at any given time. It also has a new scheduler design that is up to 20% more efficient, along with a wider 512-bit memory interface with improved z-cull and compression technology. Perhaps what's most interesting about this GPU however, are its two operational states, one as a 3D Graphics processor and another standard compute mode configuration. NVIDIA's new behemoth chip not only lights up the gaming benchmarks but also can be specifically reprogrammed for more efficient general purpose GPU (GPGPU) computing usage models like Folding and supports atomic read-modify-write operations in memory.” Thanks for your time and for stopping by. We’d appreciate a link in your

NVIDIA is launching a new product line today known as GT200. A pair of retail products based on this architecture are being released called the GeForce GTX 280 and GTX 260 and at first glance appear to be nothing more than another entry into the gaming graphics market. And while they are impressive specimens for gaming GPUs, there is another side to the technology that NVIDIA is pushing just as hard: highly parallel processing power for general purpose computing. After taking a look at gaming performance with the two new GPUs, PC Perspective spent some time detailing the CUDA-based HPC benefits for consumers including an updated Folding ( -at -) Home client and video transcoding nearly five times faster than quad-core CPUs. URLs: GeForce GTX Gaming review: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=577&type=expert GeForce GT200 Folding ( -at -) Home and Transcoding: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=578 Quote: "NVIDIA’s GT200 is a big, powerful processor that is capable of handing out the best gaming performances we have seen, ever. The GeForce GTX 280 1GB card is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to pushing the top gaming titles to super HD resolutions like 2560x1600 and is able to best both NVIDIA’s and AMD’s previous flagship dual-GPU cards. Just be prepared to pay top dollar for those bragging rights and performance gains. The GeForce GTX 260 896MB is a much more price conscious card that is still a fantastic performer when compared to its direct competition in the market." Thanks for a post! Ryan Shrout PC Perspective

If the GPU world were a wildlife special on the National Geographic channel, the G80 processor that powers GeForce 8800 GTX graphics cards would be a stunningly successful apex predator. In the nearly two years that have passed since its introduction, no other single-chip graphics solution has surpassed it. Newer GPUs have come close, shrinking similar capabilities into smaller, cooler chips, but that's about it. The G80 is still the biggest, baddest beast of its kind—a chip, as we said at the time, with "the approximate surface area of Rosie O'Donnell." After it dispatched its would-be rival, the Radeon HD 2900 XT, in an epic mismatch, AMD gave up on building high-end GPUs altogether, preferring instead to go the multi-GPU route. Meanwhile, the G80 has sired a whole range of successful offspring, from teeny little mobile chips to dual-chip monstrosities like the GeForce 9800 GX2. Of course, even the strongest predator has a limited time as king of the pride, and the G80's reign is coming to a close. Today, its true heir arrives on the scene in the form of the GT200 graphics processor powering the GeForce GTX 200-series graphics cards. Despite being built on a smaller chip fabrication process, the GT200 is even larger than the G80, and it packs nearly twice the processing power of its progenitor. This new contender isn't content with just ruling the same territory, either. Nvidia has ambitious plans to expand the GPU's processing domain beyond real-time graphics and gaming, and as the GPU computing picture becomes clearer, those plans seem increasingly viable. Join us as we dive in for a look at this formidable new processor. http://techreport.com/articles.x/14934 Thanks, Geoff ---- Geoff Gasior The Tech Report http://techreport.com -- To unsubscribe from: TR-News, just follow this link:

Hello fellow editors! Tech ARP ( http://www.techarp.com/ <http://www.techarp.com/>'>http://www.techarp.com/> ) has just posted The ATI Radeon HD 4870 Is Prepped For Launch! Quote - While we were at Computex 2008, we were told by at least 3 ATI partners that the Radeon HD 4870 was not ready for launch anytime soon. We were also told that ATI had decided to delay the launch of their Radeon HD 4850 graphics card from June 18 to June 25, 2008. At first, we figured that ATI pushed back the Radeon HD 4850's launch date to avoid the launch of the NVIDIA GTX 280 and GTX 260 graphics.

PopChar 4 - find and insert special characters across font boundaries - Published on 06/16/08 Ergonis Software today announced the release of PopChar X 4.0, the award-winning tool for finding and typing special characters. PopChar 4 introduces a new view that allows users to search for special characters in a new, system-wide way, without being limited to the characters available in a particular font. The new version also adds other features like a new command for copying the selected character's Unicode name, support for Unicode 5.1, improved Leopard appearance, and more. Hagenberg, Austria - Ergonis Software today announced the release of PopChar X 4.0, the award-winning tool for finding and typing special characters. PopChar 4 introduces a new view that allows users to search for special characters in a new, system-wide way, without being limited to the characters available in a particular font. Imagine you want to type the cubic meters symbol, but you don't know the keyboard combination, much less you know what font contains the required symbol. Up to now you would have to search all your installed fonts one by one. With PopChar 4 you just type "cub m" in the search field and switch to the new "All" view. If any of your installed fonts contains the cubic meters symbol, PopChar will show it to you, and will allow you to insert it into your document with a single click. You don't even have to know which font the symbol comes from. "PopChar has been helping Mac users for more than 20 years to make best use of their installed fonts. With the power of Unicode fonts and today's support of Unicode in most applications, the utilization of Unicode should no longer be a matter of spe[censored]ts," said Christoph Reichenberger, founder and CEO of Ergonis Software. "PopChar's new system-wide font view lets you make use of the full power of Unicode fonts in a simple, Mac-like way and emphasizes again that PopChar is the number-one utility when it comes to dealing with fonts and special characters". The new version also adds other features like a new command for copying the selected character's Unicode name, support for Unicode 5.1, improved Leopard appearance, and more. Visit Ergonis Software's website to learn more about specific enhancements contained in this release and to download a trial copy. PopChar solves a problem faced by every technologist and multi-lingual worker. Inserting special characters into application documents can be frustrating and results in a steady loss of productivity. With PopChar you no longer need to search for and remember keystrokes. Just pop up the PopChar window, click the desired character, and the character appears in your current document right away. Availability and Pricing: PopChar can be purchased securely on the Ergonis Software website. The upgrade to PopChar X 4.0 is free for anyone who purchased PopChar in the last 2 years. For information about purchases, including enterprise licenses, volume discounts, and upgrade pricing offers, visit the website. Instead of purchasing PopChar by itself, customers can get the Macility Productivity Bundle that also contains two of the company's other productivity tools, Typinator and KeyCue. The pricing of the Productivity Bundle represents a saving of more than 35% over the separate purchase of its components. More information about the Productivity Bundle can be found at the website. PopChar X 4.0 requires Mac OS X 10.4 or newer, Mac OS 10.5 is recommended.

Hi all, We have just published a review of *The Incredible Hulk* for Xbox 360. If you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated. *Link:* http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2008/06/14/the-incredible-hulk/1 *Picture:* http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/06/the-incredible-hulk/fp_img.jpg *Quote: */"We expected //The Incredible Hulk to be bad from the offset, not out of some inherent bias but more to do with a realistic reflection of the past and the facts of the matter. On this front, //The Incredible Hulk didn’t disappoint us. It’s predictable, samey, bland and as by-the-numbers as any game of this type could be. The developers have got a checklist of all the usual errors made on movie tie-ins and they’ve zipped down and ticked them all expertly. As a game it’s more shallow than a Paris Hilton-wannabe and uglier than the real-deal. But, at the same time, it is kind of fun to mess around with. And no, the Paris Hilton jokes stopped last paragraph //thankyouverymuch. Elements of The Hulk’s character are captured very well and it’s quite bizarre to see that Sega has done a better job of capturing the wall climbing experience than Activision did with //Spiderman 3. Also, just because a game is shallow doesn’t mean that it’s bad – every id Software game ever proves that, just about. Despite all the chinks in the armour and the fuzziness on the lens there is still a sense of progression that makes the game involving to play and aspects of the animation do feel suitably kinetic and powerful. In the end, though //Hulk can’t claim to be as good as the majority of the games out on shelves nowadays, he can certainly wipe the floor with //Iron Man and the other comic-movie-adaptation-tie-ins at the moment."/ * *Cheers guys!

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Visual) - ZOTAC GeForce GTX 280 AMP! Edition QUOTE: "Word on the GT200 has been floating around for a while now, and we’ve seen a number of leaked benchmarks all over the world wide interweb. With the NDA being lifted, it’s time to check out what exactly is going on with the new card. What we will be doing today is checking out exactly how much faster the new GTX 280 is when compared to the 9800 GX2, along with seeing how it compares against the top of the range AMD offering; the HD 3870 X2. For further good measure, we’ll also try it against one of the better valued for money NVIDIA cards at the moment; the 9800 GTX."

It's small, it's lightweight, it's perfectly balanced - it's perfect for press trips; in other words when we need a dinky little notebook to help us bring you the latest news and reviews from events round the world. Also, at the same time, it runs Linux - which can't help but appeal to the elitist geek in all of us. The nice folks at Asus know that we like the Eee PC as well, which was why they took the first possible chance to head down to the new //bit-tec//h offices and show us the brand new model of the insanely popular sub-notebook. The Eee PC 901 is the latest in the Eee PC line and is fundamentally similar to the Eee PC 900 we reviewed a few weeks ago, but with a handful of new features and software thrown in - including a new 1.6 GHz Atom Processor instead of the older, underclocked Celeron. On top of that swanky, sparkling new 45nm CPU chip, the Eee PC 901 also houses new Bluetooth support and Dolby Sound Room on the XP versions, but unfortunately not the Linux like we have here." / * *Cheers guys!
