10 months after the long-awaited and incredibly successful release of the GF104-based GTX 460, Nvidia has finally released its next $200 graphics card: the GTX 560.

HotHardware takes a detailed look at the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 DirectX 11 graphics card in this full performance review.

For the past 3.5 years or so, NVIDIA has ardently advocated the GPU as a computational platform capable of solving almost any problem.

Phoronix: "We finally have our hands on a GeForce GT 240 graphics card from the folks over at ECS Elitegroup to see how this GT215 graphics card performs under Linux."

Howtoforge: "This tutorial shows how you can enable Compiz Fusion on an Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) desktop (the system must have a 3D-capable graphics card - I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 here).

AMD's new top-of-the-line graphics card offers astounding features—and a price to match.

Phoronix: "To Linux users these graphics cards are also interesting in that they fully support all of the current features of VDPAU for Linux video decoding, including MPEG-4 support.

When AMD's new Radeon HD cards launch in a few weeks, the showstopper will be a technology the company calls Eyefinity, which can power up to six monitors on a single graphics card.

And when four graphics cards are added to a single PC... well, wow.
