ASUS Launches Geforce GTX 650 Ti Boost DirectCU II

Nvidia's 650 Ti Boost is a new offering by the graphics giant and it is supposed to compete with AMD's newly launched 7790 video card. Both new GPU's are priced at $150 and they both offer multi-GPU support which makes them the cheapest cards to offer SLI/Crossfire.

ASUS's new Direct CU II 650 Ti Boost card boasts a core clock of 1085MHz which is 105MHz faster than the card's reference clockspeed of 980MHz. The card also sports 2GB of GDDR5 RAM on a 192-Bit interface says ASUS and it is Direct X 11.1 compatible. ASUS goes on to say in their press release that the aftermarket cooler keeps the card 20% cooler when compared to Nvidia's reference cooler.

Early reports of the Nvidia's 650 Ti Boost V.S. the 7790 show that the Nvidia card dominates in almost every benchmark the cards have been compared in. To see how the cards compare you can look at Anandtech's review click here.

Humble Bundle: THQ Edition Relaunched

For those of you who don't know what a Humble Bundle is it's when a publisher opts to sell it's games so that it can give some of their proceeds to charity. Gamers get to pay what they want for the games, but you need to spend over the average payment to receive all the games in the bundle.

The games being offered in this Humble Bundle are from THQ and include Darksiders 1 & 2 as well as Red Faction Guerrilla and Armageddon. THQ had a Humble bundle a few months ago after they announced they had become bankrupt. The company's disbanded developers are now offering up their titles again for a second THQ go around.

For example in this bundle if you spend $1 you will receive Darksiders 1 and Red Faction Guerrilla. If you spend over the minimum payment of $6.81 you will get both games above, but you'll also get Darksiders 2 and Red Faction Armageddon. The Humble Bundle games all come with Steam codes for the games which is awesome as that's what we hardcore PC Gamers want. On a side note the Humble Bundle team will be offering up new bundles weekly too so stay tuned.

The deal ends in 6 days and can be found at this link https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly
