At whatGFX we calculate our benchmarks a little differently to other sites to help make the final scores more appropriate to those who want to actually buy the best gaming graphics cards on the market. This table shows all of the reference editions of the graphics cards produced by NVIDIA and AMD ranked from fastest to slowest. While you can't buy the older cards it's still a good comparison. Our performance score is calculated by adding the results of a couple of software benchmark tools with some of the directly comparable hardware statistics, such as GFLOPs, gigapixels/second, power consumption and a few others. These weighted metrics are tuned to rank hardware specifications over some potentially arbitrary software benchmarks or some of the more esoteric specifications.

With the month of January coming to an end, I decided that I’d share with you news regarding builds updates, the schedule for February 2012, news regarding sponsorship, upcoming videos and more! If you’re curious about when the builds will be updated, how often I plan to update them, how you can receive them via email/RSS or get updated via Facebook/Twitter and what ideas I have planned, this post is for you. Officially announced today by AMD, the Radeon HD 7970 is their first card to be based on their “Graphic Core Next” architecture and the first video card to be produced on a 28nm manufacturing process.

After the Associated Press published an article on March 20th about employers asking job candidates for Facebook and social media passwords, the response was, to say the least, overwhelming. In the month since, there have been thousands of tweets and social media status updates, more than 2,000 blog posts, and hundreds of news articles on the "trend." Legislation was proposed in at least three states, and by April 9th, Maryland had hastily passed a bill. Even the federal government got involved, with Congressional committees planning hearings on the issue.

The more we play with the Apple TV, and the more Apple updates it with new features and new software, the more we like it. But the problem is that unless you've got at least one Mac or iOS device, it's simply not something you'd want to buy. This latest version is a perfect example of that. New 1080p features and a new interface will be enough to attract Apple fans, but for anyone else there are simply better, cheaper options out there. Still though, we've enjoyed our time with it and it's been fun to test it alongside some of Panasonic and Sharp's 2012 TVs this week.

from the oh-the-people-you'll-sue dept Another week, another batch of comments. This week on the insightful side, the top three votegetters were so close that I'm just going to post all three. Eking out the narrow victory to the top spot was an Anonymous Coward who compared the situation of Bernie Madoff to Kim Dotcom (who had all of his things seized illegally by the government): If you run a giant ponzi scheme like Bernie Madoff, you're granted bail and none of your assists are initially seized.

If you're a little too impatient to wait for the Absinthe jailbreak tool to make its way to Windows, good news, there's another option. The iPhone Dev Team has released Corona, a command line-based option for Mac and Windows 7 that will deliver Cydia to your iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1-running iPhone 4S or iPad 2. Obviously, you'll want to be comfortable with the terminal and command prompt but, if you can handle a little CTRL+c and CTRL+v action, jailbreaking your brand new iOS device shouldn't prove too difficult. Hit up the source link for complete instructions on how to free your shiny A5 portable from Apple's shackles while still using your Microsoft machine.

We've heard recently of CISPA, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act , a bill currently making its way through Congress that many are calling the latest incarnation of SOPA. Reader SolKeshNaranek points out an article at Techdirt explaining exactly why this bill is bad , and how its backers are trying to deflect criticism by using language that's different and rather vague. Quoting: "The bill defines 'cybersecurity systems' and 'cyber threat information' as anything to do with protecting a network from: ' (A) efforts to degrade, disrupt, or destroy such system or network; or (B) theft or misappropriation of private or government information, intellectual property, or personally identifiable information. ' It's easy to see how that definition could be interpreted to include things that go way beyond network security — specifically, copyright policing systems at virtually any point along a network could easily qualify."rowwor BEWARE Aurora users!!!
