The new ATI 5670 is indeed a great piece of kit. The directX11 compatible graphic card from AMD uses the same architecture and processes (40nm) as the 5700 series but cost much less.

Targeting the mid range gaming sector with good graphics but low price the card is expected to be sold for less than $100. The specs are decent as well with a 775Mhz clock speed, DDR5 memory at 1Ghz 512Mb or 1Gb. Three output possible HDMI, VGA and DVI. ANd of course HD capable.

The value for money is hard to beat on this one.

This new category is for some of us who would like to talk more about hardware. We cover games widely and thought it would be good to had some hardware posts here and there. It is part of the experience after all.

So the post today is about the  new mouse pad from Razer. With two sides, one for “control” and one for “speed” and the pad should accomodate many different games.

The Speed side is very slick and allow to move freely. The control side is cotted with a rugged surface for a more granular movement. Oh and they look very good as well. We will try get a proper hand’s on if the nice people at Razer send us a sample to try.
