Looks like the Nvidia GTX 400 series GPUs are starting to trickle onto various sites several days before the official release. Well, at least one big site. Take that paycheck and pump it right into Direct X 11 goodness~!

The only card available right now is the GTX 470, the little brother to the GTX 480. (Or, in ATI terms, it’s the Radeon 5850 to the Radeon 5870.) It’s not even that expensive at $349. Video cards can easily go for twice as much.

Cards from EVGA and Gigabyte are on Newegg. They’re not available to buy right now, but rather they’re on Auto-Notify duty.

And now we wait for Crysis 2 to really test out these companies’ latest.

Many people wonder about the extent to which information is extracted during a pc hardware scan. Some people argue that it is possible for the websites to extract personal information during the process. but this is a misconception and does not hold true. The scan program does not collect any personal information or any sensitive information regarding the security of the computer system. Then it will tell about the version of the Direct X and locale of the Operating System. Then it will proceed to the BIOS and the mother board telling its manufacturer and model. It will also give you a complete picture of the processors and the memory. For example it will tell the number of processors, maximum clock speed, the sockets and the versions of the respective processors. But if you want to switch from one hardware scan program to the other then you will have to uninstall the previously installed program first. If you do not do it then several software clash problems will arise in your computer systems that are hard to deal with. Sometimes some users face difficulty in successfully installing a pc hardware scan program. This is because they have a firewall or some security software that does not allow any more software installations. To deal with problems one has to check the security and firewall settings and alter those to get the desired program installed. There is another concern raised by many people that after installing a pc hardware scan program they do not see the CIS or the Center for Internet Security Benchmark. It will also scan through the video devices and the several different cards (such as sound and graphic cards etc.) of the system. It will quote the color depth, resolution, refresh and flicker rate of the video devices. Other than these things the scan program will scan through the pointing devices (mouse or joy stick etc.), optical devices, printers and CD Rom of the system and will give their specifications. You will also be provided information about the networking of your system. For example your will be told about your IP address, default gateway, primary DNS, firewalls and the subnet mask.To get a PC Hardware Scan I recommend the users to try the Registry Easy. It is very proficient and reliable software and their web site too is very informative. Check it out by yourself.
