BFG GeForce GTS 250 OC 1GB Review
OCC has published a new review on the BFG GeForce GTS 250 OC 1GB

So what's in a name? What nVidia hopes to do with the introduction of the GTS 250 is offer a video card to the masses that offers high mid-level performance at a bargain basement price. This is something that the BFG GTS 250 does even though it is based on the G92 GPU. Some may give nVidia grief about another rename of an aging card but it is still a viable option and the rename is meant to reduce that confusion at the retail level. With the 9800GTX+ currently selling anywhere from $125 to $175, the GTS 250 is right in line price-wise and falls below many of the cards currently offered for sale. With two flavors to choose from, differentiated from each other by the size of the frame buffer at 512MB and 1GB, they are priced accordingly at $129 and $149. Performance wise, the BFG GTS 250 outperformed the overclocked HD4850 in the majority of our benchmarks. That being said, you have a card that performs well in resolutions up to 1920x1200 and still is playable up to 2560x1600 in some of the games. This for a price below that of the competition.

HIS Multi-View DVI Review
Bjorn3D takes a look at the HIS Multi-View DVI

Many people, myself included, have often wished for an easier way to connect multiple displays. Perhaps you don't have the money for multiple video cards. Or maybe your laptop doesn't have a video-out. Or maybe you just want to connect six monitors. That's a lot of maybe's, I know, but Hightech Information Systems (HIS for short) has developed a solution to solve all of those problems.

Meet the HIS Multi-View. This particular model has a DVI-out and is small enough to take anywhere. Being portable is a huge advantage in today's market with all the hustle and bustle of life. If you have a need to connect multiple monitors to your laptop, there is no better solution. It needs no external power supply and requires only a USB cable to connect up to your PC. Simply install the software, plug it into the DVI port or cable on your display (or VGA through use of the included adapter), and plug the other end into the computer via the USB port. It really is that easy.
