NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce GTX 760M GPU has been leaked in a GPU-z screenshot revealed by Chiphell forums. The GTX 760M makes use of the 28nm GK106 core architecture and features 768 cuda cores.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M Specifications Reveaeled

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M is part of the company’s recently introduced GeForce 700M series mobile family.  While we have only seen the performance and specifications of the entry level chips such as the GK106/GK107 based GT 750M, GT 745M and GT 740M with 384 cores, the GTX 760M would be the first chip to utilize 768 cores.

Star Wars Battlefront 3 is a modern day tragedy in gaming, a game that has gone through the development inferno has reared its head several times in the past but with the closure of Lucasarts studio by Disney, it is safe to say that the fate of this game has been sealed. Some newer footage has surfaced that shows the game in the Alpha stage of development, the game was going to be leaps and bounds above the previous games in the series but it got axed when it was at a 90% completion.

Yesterday, ASUS’s entire Z87 motherboards lineup was leaked which can now be seen here. Today, thanks to VR-Zone we have got a first look at the Z87 motherboards lineup from manufacturer ASRock who are also preparing a neat list of products for the upcoming Haswell launch on June 3rd.

ASRock’s Z87 motherboards Unveiled – Extreme, Formula and FATAL1TY Tiers Detailed

ASRock has divided their Z87 motherboards into three tiers – Z87 Formula, Z87 FATAL1TY and Z87 Extreme. Each tier comes with their own distinctive line of motherboards that are packed with various features for overclockers, gamers and enthusiasts.

The FATAL1TY lineup includes two products, the Z87 Professional and the H87 Performance. Detailed specs are mentioned below:

ASRock Z87 Professional:

The ASRock Z87 professional is a high-end motherboard which packs an impressive red/black color theme and a set of nice looking heatsink including heatpipe cooling solution. For storage, the board offers 10 SATA 6GB/s ports while expansion slots include three PCI-e 3.0 x16, 1 PCI-e 3.0 x1 and 2 PCI legacy slots. The board includes Sound Core 3D that provides high quality and enhanced audio output through the 8.1 channel audio jack, dual Gigabit Lan ports and several USB 3.0 ports for connectivity options. The Z87 Professional also includes an M-PCI-e slot to support either mSATA SSDs or WiFI cards.

ASUS’s entire Z87 motherboards lineup has been unveiled by our friends at EgyptHardware. A few months ago, ASUS teased a few pictures of their upcoming motherboards such as the Gryphoon Z87 and Z87 Deluxe mobos but today we have full pictures of their entire Z87 motherboards lineup.

ASUS Z87 Motherboards Unveiled

The ASUS Z87 motherboards lineup includes a total of 10 new products which range in different tiers. Starting with the flagship overclocking lineup which includes three motherboards:

• ASUS Maximus VI Extreme
• ASUS Maximus VI Hero
• ASUS Maximus VI GeneZ

ASUS Maximus VI Extreme

The ASUS Maximus VI Extreme comes with the red and black theme design and the latest LGA 1150 socket to support the upcoming Haswell processors.The CPU is powered by 8+4 Pin connectors while an additional six pin connector provides extra power to PCI-e GPUs. Expansion slots include five PCI-e 3.0 x16 and a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, also an mPCIe combo slot is located near the I/O panel on the motherboard. A total of 10 SATA 3 ports offer storage, a large heatsink covers the nearby Lynx point PCH and the board has several overclocking options near the DDR3 DIMM slots such as Voltage measurement points, On/Off and Clear CMOS swtiches.

Last month, we learned that MSI was preparing a new flagship overclocking motherboard known as the Z87 XPower. Since then, MSI has revealed various teasers including a video and several photos and another photo has just been released by MSI Facebook page which gives a more detailed look at the upcoming monstrosity.

MSI Z87 XPower – The Big Daddy of Z87 OC Motherboards?

The latest teaser photo of the MSI Z87 XPower shows the most distinctive feature of the board which is its X logo that is embedded on both sides of one of the three heatsinks situated on top of the Military Class IV components which include SFC’s (Super Ferrite Chokes), Black Solid state capacitors and a total of 16 VRM power phases that would deliver unprecedented amount of power and stability to the Haswell CPU core.

The Z87 XPower is packed with an impressive feature set including OC Genie 4 engine that allows user to adjust between gaming and default mode. In gaming mode, the motherboard would automatically adjust clock speeds to provide users with the most performance out of their PCs when needed while gaming. One can also spot an abundance of super ferrite chokes next to the four DDR3 DIMM slots and also a variety of overclocking friendly features such as Power On/Off, Clear CMOS, Voltage adjustments, clock adjustments and voltage measurement points. I can also spot a BCLK adjustment switch that would allow users to adjust the CPU via motherboard in real-time. This would come quiet handy for overclockers. The heatsink layout is not pictured entirely like the Z87 MAX MPower but shows that MSI would stick with the yellow and black color theme and it looks great. The socket is LGA 1150 which supports the upcoming Haswell 4th generation processors which were recently overclocked to 7 GHz showing their overclocking prowess.

Fudzilla has got some exclusive information on the upcoming GeForce GTX 780 from NVIDIA, according to them the latest flagship graphic card launches on May 23rd followed by the GeForce GTX 770 on May 30th.

It was already revealed a few weeks back that NVIDIA was about to launch their GeForce 700 series in Mid-May and now we have the exact launch dates for both new GPUs. The previous information also stated that the GeForce GTX 760 Ti would also be included for the Q2 launch lineup but instead launching in May, the GTX 760 Ti would be announced during Computex 2013.

NVIDIA Launches Flagship GeForce GTX 780 on 23rd May

Only a day ago, a report revealed that the GeForce GTX 780 which would be using the same GK110 core architecture would also be priced similar to the GeForce GTX Titan. Although we don’t have any specific details but the card is expected to feature lower SMX and Cuda cores compared to the GeForce GTX Titan which boasts 2688 cores and comes with a 6 GB GDDR5 memory. In the early spotting of the Titan LE card, it was noted that the GPU would be using 5 GB of memory across a 320-bit interface however new reports mention that NVIDIA would have to lower the memory down to 3 GB to ensure that the cost of the GeForce GTX 780 doesn’t goes sky high like the Titan.

limited as a reference design by NVIDIA, although we did see some AIB’s manufacturer custom models only to see them canned later on, the GeForce GTX 780 would be available in custom flavors too allowing AIB partners of NVIDIA to offer custom models of the GPU. But, being based on the GK110 core would mean a major hit to the price point and the site has mentioned that people waiting for the upcoming GTX 780 flagship card shouldn’t worry if the price point does end up near the GeForce GTX Titan, suppose say $759?

We know this from previous reports that Intel would launch the Core i7-4930MX as their flagship mobile processor on 3rd June 2013. The Haswell mobile chip would be based around the 22nm architecture and enhanced visual graphics chips to deliver better performance.

Intel Core i7-4930MX Flagship Mobile Haswell Benchmarked

The Core i7-4930MX would feature a multi-threaded quad core design pumping a base clock of 3.00 GHz all the way upto 3.70 GHz boost frequency. The CPU features 8 MB L3 Cache, 57W TDP design and supports DDR3 and DDR3-L memory rated at 1600 MHz. Additionally, the CPU has a fast HD 4600 IGP clocked at 400 MHz core and 1350 MHz memory. The Core i7-4930MX HD 4600 iGP would boast 20 execution units with 2 ROPs and 4 TMUs and a 128-bit DDR3 memory interface. The new HD 4600 Intel HD Graphics chip supports both DirectX 11.1 and Shader model 5.0 compatibility so it wouldn’t be an issue running the latest gaming titles.

Borderlands 2 is a spectacular RPG FPS that truly rocked the gaming world last year, while the game is truly one of those that deserves to be purchased with a Season Pass, with each new DLC bringing in hours of fun and a new character class for the players to play as, The latest DLC has made its way to twitter by accident when one of the writers of the title decided to tweet a picture of himself lying on a Sofa but neglected to see the Tiny Tina promotional stand in the background, while the tweet has since been deleted we are all aware of the vigilant internet users who saved the picture as soon as it was revealed.

Update: Another validation has been found thanks to the Overclock.net community which shows the Core i5-4670K overclocked to 6.2 GHz at 1.216V. Could be a bug but if not then really impressive stuff for Haswell.

The folks at OCaholic have spotted a large list of CPU-z validations which show that the upcoming Core i7-4770K was overclocked to 7 GHz at 2.56V. Intel’s fourth generation Haswell line of processors are expected to launch on June 3rd 2013, several benchmarks of the processor have been leaked which can be seen here and here.

Intel Core i7-4770K Overclocked to 7 GHz – Tons of Z87 Motherboards Spotted

Although benchmarks have been leaking for quiet some time but we never got to see an overclocked validation of the Haswell CPU. Even in its enginerring phase, the Core i7-4770K broke the 7 GHz barrier recording a record OC for Haswell at 7012.65 MHz (91.07 * 77). It is highly possible that the retail version with better stability could achieve an 8 GHz overclock. The record was achieved on the upcoming ASUS Maximus VI Extreme Edition motherboard which we haven’t seen yet but probably would before Haswell launches at Computex 2013.

The validation spree didn’t end here as moments later, another CPU-z shot was spotted but this time on a different CPU running on entirely different boards. This time the CPU used was also an 22nm Haswell chip but instead of the Core i7-4770K, the user used the Core i5-4670T on the ASRock’s upcoming Z87M-OC Formula and the MSI Z87 MPOWER MAX motherboard which was teased last week The MPower board was using an Core i5-4670K processor.

According to a report by Sweclockers, NVIDIA’s upcoming flagship GeForce GTX 780 graphics card would be priced close to the GeForce GTX Titan. As per previous reports, NVIDIA’s GeForce 700 series which includes GeForce GTX 780, GeForce GTX 770 and GeForce GTX 760 Ti are expected to launch in late May, around the same time as Computex 2013.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 – Powerful Yet Expensive?

The GeForce GTX 780, previously known as Titan LE (later revealed as an internal codename for the card) features the flagship GK110 core architecture from NVIDIA. Although we don’t have any specific details but the card is expected to feature lower SMX and Cuda cores compared to the GeForce GTX Titan which boasts 2688 cores and comes with a 6 GB GDDR5 memory. In the early spotting of the Titan LE card, it was noted that the GPU would be using 5 GB of memory across a 320-bit interface however new reports mention that NVIDIA would have to lower the memory down to 3 GB to ensure that the cost of the GeForce GTX 780 doesn’t goes sky high like the Titan.
