FINALLY!!!

At last, the official blog for the assignment for subject Technical Communication is finally over. Our group knows this day is coming and many feelings are combining together and it's hard to express the feeling. Sad, happy and thankful feeling are the major feeling appear in our hearts.

Feeling sad when the blog official writing is finally over but we promise will update this blog eventhough not for coursework purpose. We are also feeling happy because we managed to finish this assessment at the given period of time eventhough facing several problems such as weak internet connection, finding the material itself and edit the blog interface but we managed to finish it. And we will thankful if this blog achieved the required amount of information and we will very thankful if Madam Rosiah gives a great marks for our hardwork.

Finally, we would like to thank Madam Rosiah for giving some tips and instruction regarding the blog assignment. Hopefully, our blog will be a reference for other computer users to find the suitable graphic card for the computer in order to experience the excitement to playing games and entertainment.

GeForce GTX 295

CUDA cores : 480
Core Clocks : 576 Mhz
Standard Memory: 1792 MB GDDR3
Memory Interface : 896 bit
Price Range : RM 1400 - 1500
Minimum Power Supply : 680 W

This is one of the most powerful graphic card ever produced and it already used in film effects engineering where we can see the results in Avatar films.

I recommended this graphic card to extreme user who really have moneys and passion in game performance, video editing and complex designs. Also, i recommended it to professional game and effects engineers for their job.

This is because this graphic card have very high graphic processing ( like having 2 GeForce 200) where it make the frame rate of the application go to very high level and detail as possible. Additional to Physx features, this will make the gaming experience very much real and awesome. With high Cuda other additional great features (Such as Graphic Plus) make your video and pictures editing and rendering better quality and smooth.

What make this graphic card really powerful, is, single card not enough, it can link 4 same graphic cards at one CPU. Beside that, because of high GPU processing, it able to support multi-screen application. (try imagine the user can play Facebook, chatting and play game at same time smoothly.)

ATI Radeon HD 5970

This week review is focusing on the latest product of graphic card for desktop computer users, ATI Radeon HD 5970. According to ATI, this is their fastest graphic card ever made in the features had been upgraded compare to previous model. Below is the specification of this graphic card:

Engine clock speed : 725 Mhz
Memory clock speed: 1.0 Ghz
Maximum board power: 294 W
Slot: PCI Express 2.1
Price estimation: approx RM 700

This card is latest product from ATI for year 2010 and the technology behind this hardware is unquestionable. By focusing on improving the speed of the graphic performance with neglecting the speed of computer, ATI Stream technology have the answer. The features give the card the ability to accelerate and give the users the best momentum of performance with their games of doing their works without give the system jams.

Futhermore, the common feature such as ATI PowerPlay have been upgrade in order to give the maximum power management for the single and multi - board configuration. With minimum power comsumption, the users will have no worry about the performance and the price for this card is quiet expensive because it still fresh on market but to gain something good, we have to spend some money to get it.

GeForce Nvidia GTX 285

Specification:
Cuda Clok : 240 Mhz
Core Clock : 648 MHz
Standard Memory : 1 GB DDR2
Interface Memory : 512 bit

Requirement:

Minimum Power Supply : 550 W
Slot : PCI-Express
Price Range : RM 550-600


I recommended this graphic cards for user to gaming at high end performance. Although there are graphic cards there is better than this, most games not yet reach those graphic level. So it is a waste to buy graphic card that too powerful but unable to push the game performance. Therefore this card are ideal and optimize since the price is very reasonable since the price drop greatly since Geforce GTX 295 came out.

This graphic card have very high GPU and memory processing that able to process game graphic engine to very detail and smooth. With High Cuda, Physx, advance anti-aliasing, high HDR effects and stereoscopic 3D. Play the games with very high resolution and at real gaming effects as you can see in real one. Plus, with video and image enchanting technology, the user can experience a more quality pictures and movies than normal one.

With this graphic cards, experience the high end performance in gaming for 1 to 2 years without worries.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT

This week review is focusing again on notebook graphic performance. Some graphic needs to operate in high performance of GPU and this will make power consumption getting worst. Some notebooks are able to operate at the high performance of graphic and some may not. This graphic is giving the basic notebook users to experience the graphic performance in their notebook because this card is best in their class for thin and light notebook. This card gives the users beautiful moments while playing their games, watching HD entertainment with superior performance - per-wat operation with ATI Avivo HD video processing.

Futhermore, this card as always with every single graphic card from ATI is contain also power management features and this card have Full PowerPlay 7.0 support. This feature also give the notebook power and performance for long battery life and as said before, the phenomenal performance-per-watt operation.

ATI Mobility Radeon X1450

This week review is about the graphic card for notebook or for the more understanding information, the basic users of notebook. This card is not good as latest graphic card but it is able to deliver the notebook user the fundamental of the graphic performance. This card can be assume as the prototype for the notebook graphic for ATI before they empowered their card to achieved the requirement for the latest game graphic performance

Meanwhile, all the features are basic compare to latest graphic card. This review showed at that previous years, this card is the most friendly users yet affordable. This card features also similar with latest graphic card such as ATI Power Management for intelligence power consumption and ATI Avivo Video and Display Architecture for delivering the graphic performance to the next level for the notebook users.

Because of this card, ATI managed to upgrade their graphic card to the highest peak of graphic performance that money can buy.

Nvidia GeForce 210

Specification:

Core Clock : 589 MHz
Standard Memory : 512 MB DDR2
Interface Memory : 64 bit

Requirement:

Minimum Power Supply : 240W
Slot : PCI-Express
Price Range : RM 200-250

This graphic card is recommended for any user want to have a smooth operation in window 7 at moderate cost and comsumption. This is because even Window 7 require consume less performance than Window Vista, the graphic requirement is should be considered since Window 7 have emphasizes on visual interaction.

Geforce 210 provide a spectular video performance. It is able to enhance video and pictures quality to very high quality. It's is like watching HD videos from normal DVD. Beside that, Geforce 210 can provide faster uploading stream whether in internet or application such as Ipod.

From the past post, the graphic cards for Nvidia are focus for Window OS since most latest games are compatible and build Window OS only. However, for Mac OS user, there's are recommended graphics card in Nvidia that allow the users to optimize Mac OS in gaming, editing, animation and other graphic requirements application.

Meet GeForce GTX 285 for Mac, this graphic card have a Boot Camp, a built-in application which perfect compatibility as like Window OS . With PhysX features, high GPU processing and HD extreme resolution, the user can experienced as best as or more than in Window OS especially on graphics-intensive applications like motion graphics, 3D modeling, rendering, and animation.

So, for Mac OS users, don't let normal graphic cards let you down, push the Mac OS performance to the limit and let Window OS's user in "awe"!
