Advanced Micro Devices claims that its Radeon HD 4850 X2 graphics solution runs faster than NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 280 card. While, for a long time, the 4850 X2 was nothing else but news and rumors.
According to AMD, the Radeon HD 4850 X2 will be better than GeForce GTX 280 in terms of performance. The standard specifications of the card state it featuring two Radeon HD 4850 GPUs clocked at 625MHz, paired with 2GB of 1GHz (2GHz effective) GDDR3 memory. The Sunnyvale company says that, although it has two GPUs, this card will have a power consumption of only 230W under full load.
The Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 card features four DVI ports, more than the standard 4870 X2 graphics, which suggests that the card comes with two outputs for each GPU. On the other hand, the card will not be able to exhaust heat directly through the back of the case. It is cooled by a dual-slot, dual-fan solution, a different venting system than the one found on the standard Radeon HD 4870 X2 boards.
The new card comes with two PCI-E power connectors, with eight and six pins respectively. The card also allows for quad CrossFireX setups with another card, since it features the well known CrossFire connector at the top. The Sapphire dual-GPU Radeon HD 4850 X2 already got listed at some on-line retailers, and is priced at 401.86 Euros.
The reference 4850 X2 card hasn’t been released yet, which means that the price of Sapphire’s solution will probably go down, especially since the Radeon HD 4870 X2 cards cost almost the same and offer more performance. AMD hasn’t unveiled any official piece of information on a possible launch date for the card, but it is expected to do so in the near future.
THQ Wireless has announced Pass The Pigs, the iPhone version of the popular dice game. Playable on an iPod touch as well, Pass The Pigs has players winning points by throwing two model pigs across a casino-style table.
Surely you’re already sold on the short description but this piece really calls for more details. As THQ puts it… “The launch of Pass The Pigs marks a new commitment by THQ Wireless to bring casual, mass-market games to the mobile arena,” said Adam Comiskey, vice president of THQ Wireless. “It’s a hugely fun and entertaining game with one-button controls and we think fans of casual games will enjoy this quick-play format.”
As noted above, Pass The Pigs players must throw two model pigs across a casino-style table to gather points. The player will have points either given or taken away, based on the way the pigs land until ‘Pig Out’. Up to four players can jump in on the fun in classic mode, which includes three alternative scoring methods. Shake´N´Roll controls must be used to roll the pigs, with varying power, exactly as one would intuitively roll a pair of dice. This, of course, implies the use of the iPhone’s accelerometer. Using the touch-screen controls, players can alternatively roll the pigs by flicking or sliding with their fingers on the screen.
A new game mode, exclusive to the iPhone and iPod touch, is the “Pig’s Life”, which, according to THQ Wireless, is “full of piglet-related fun”. Players go through four phases of a pig’s life encounting a unique life-path game mechanic. As a player, your choices during gameplay (based on love, wisdom or money) combine to unravel different stories and outcomes. You can also unlock vibrant hats and disguises for the pig to wear, from Disco-Pig to Robo-Pig, as you progress through the game.
