| Category: Video |
| More Info: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-Lightning-Xtreme-Edition.html |
The new N580GTX Lightning Xtreme Edition from MSI is a video card based on the GeForce GTX 580 GPU running at 832 MHz (7.8% above the default clock rate of 772 MHz) and featuring 3 GB GDDR5 (twice the default amount) running at 4.2 GHz (5% above the default clock rate of 4 GHz). The highlights of this video card include the presence of a fan where the blades change their color from blue to white depending on the temperature, and which spins in the opposite direction for the first 30 seconds after the computer is turned on, in order to clean the fan from dust. Other features include a 16-phase voltage regulator circuit with active-phase switching (i.e., the video card will turn off unnecessary phases in order to save energy), military-grade components, voltage measuring points, and two BIOS chips. The presence of a second BIOS chip allows you to upgrade the video card BIOS in order to make your overclocking settings permanent, with the ability to switch back to the default BIOS without the need to reprogram the main BIOS chip.  click to enlarge

| Computex 2011: Galaxy Showcases World’s First Video Card with HQV Processor |
| Author: Gabriel Torres |
Date: May 31, 2011 - 4:04 PM PST |
| Category: Video |
| More Info: http://www.galaxytech.com |
HQV, or Hollywood Quality Video, is a series of video processors from IDT available in high-end home theater systems. These processors are capable of enhancing 2D video by using noise-reduction filters, de-interlacing (i.e., converting videos in interlaced scanning to progressive scanning), and scaling (converting the original video resolution to a higher resolution). Usually, hardware-based solutions like the IDT HQV processors present better performance and quality than using software-based solutions. For more information on this series of video processors, visit http://www.hqv.com. Galaxy is the first video card manufacturer to offer a PC video card with a high-end HQV processor. The Galaxy GeForce GTX 550 Ti HQV uses an IDT HQV Vida (VHD1900) video processor, an IT6603 HDMI receiver, a CAT6613 HDMI transmitter, a TMDS261B HDMI switch, and an AT32UC3B1128 microcontroller.  click to enlarge
