MMD Monitors & Displays, a company entitled to distribute LCD-displays under Philips brand, has recently unveiled a new line of monitors targeting various consumer groups. Corporate-centered line comprises a model of Cinemascope format with 21:9 aspect ratio and two B2B models: 27 inch PLS-monitor with a super-high definition (2560x1440) and IPS-monitor with ErgoSensor technology that takes care about the user’s posture.



Philips 298P4QJEB features 29 inch display and is based on IPS array. An unusual aspect ratio of 21:9 is supposed to be its main peculiar characteristic. The implementation of Multiview mode promotes for the increase of efficiency, due to the screen division into two parts and the possibility to work with two sources simultaneously. AH-IPS technology ensures accurate imaging and wholesome display of bright colors.


Philips 272P4QPJKEB is able to totally transform all ideas about sharpness. It features 27 inch display with an advanced resolution of …

An official introduction of a new graphics card from AMD, entitled Radeon HD 7790, has been settled into a dedicated press briefing. Within the framework of this briefing, the company not only gave a detailed description of a long-awaited product but also divulged a comparative performance analysis with its main rival’s adapter – Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti. Therefore, AMD Radeon HD 7790 graphics card belongs to mainstream items and is targeting a wide range of customers. It is based on AMD Bonaire GPU with AMD GCN architecture developed under 28 nm technological process. The GPU consists of 896 current processors, 14 computing blocks, 56 texture blocks, and 16 ROP blocks.



Video memory subsystem comprises 1 GB of GDDR5 memory type, employing 128-bit bus. Its nominal clock frequency equals to 1500 MHz, while effective frequency makes up 6000 MHz. The overall efficiency level of this adapter is estimated at 1.79 TFLOPS; this index is twice larger than the one recorded with AMD …

MSI has replenished its series of Radeon HD 7950 graphics cards with a pair of new Boost Edition models. Codenamed R7950-3GD5 BE and R7950-3GD5/OC BE, both adapters feature practically identical to the first two releases (of the very series) design. Nonetheless, the novels are known to support AMD ZeroCore with Boost technology that provides for an automatic GPU clock frequency boost on conditions of an increased computing loading. Dynamic clock frequency indices of both models are not so dramatic, since they exceed the nominal showings at 10 MHz only; still, the support of a brand MSI Afterburner utility enables a raise of frequencies to the required level.



The two representatives of MSI Radeon HD 7950 Boost Edition series employ GDDR5 memory with an overall capacity of 3 GB and 384-bit interface. Its nominal clock frequency equals to 1250 MHz, while its efficient frequency achieves 5000 MHz. Memory modules, as well other critical components, are cooled down by a two-slot …
