Want to own a Steve Mccurry? You can, and for a good cause too

If you’re familiar with the name Steve McCurry, then you would know that he’s the man behind the iconic Afghan Girl, but if you’re not then consider yourself educated.

Having recently concluded an exhibition of his works here in Kuala Lumpur, Epson Malaysia has teamed up with the man himself have put up an autographed reprint of one of his photos entitled “Ship Breaking Yard, Karachi” (picture above) for sale on eBay Malaysia. While the sale of an autographed reprint itself may not be all that awe inducing, the fact that the proceeds from the said sale will be going to Rumah Nur Salam Charity is.

Good Samaritans and art collectors alike can access the charity auction at http://www.ebay.com.my/charity from March 4 – March 14, and since we here at Lowyat.NET are all for charity, we laud you to drop by and do your bit.

AMD Introduces the New Budget-Friendly ATI Radeon 5670

Just before the weekend, AMD (http://www.amd.com) has officially announce the sixth card from ATI Radeon 5000-series, the ATI Radeon 5670. Comes with a very attractive price of around RM 335 (USD 100) – pending its availability in our market, of course - the 5670 card is equipped with so many delicious goodies that goes beyond its low price tag such as the support for Direct X 11 apps and ATI Eyefinity multi-display technology, together with GPU acceleration capability for video transcoding and playback through ATI Stream.

In terms of number, AMD claims that the card is capable to produce up to 620 GigaFLOPS of power through its 775 MHz processor core with some help from the card’s 1.0 GHz DDR5 memory. Also, fans of low powered graphic card might love the fact that the ATI Radeon 5670 consumes less than 75watt of power during maximum load which is why the PCI-E power connector is not needed on this card.

Do check out the 5670 official website (http://bit.ly/4Iz4Ox) for the complete lowdown of the new budget-friendly offering from AMD. We’ll leave you with one more product shot for your drooling perusal, right after the jump.

NVIDIA Unveils Two New Notebook GPUs

When it comes to graphics solutions, notebook users aren't really blessed with much of a choice. Most of the time, we're only get to choose from either a watered down desktop variant or (*gasp*) an integrated graphics solution.

Let's face it. That sucks.

Hopefully though, all that will change thanks to the release of two spanking new notebook GPUs from NVIDIA. Named the GeForce GTX 280M and the GeForce GTS 160M, this duo promisses to push the gaming experience on your notebook to the next level.

NVIDIA claim the GeForce GTX 280M to be up to 50% more powerful than what's on the market now, and by utilizing NVIDIA's SLI technology, two GeForce GTX 280M chips can be paired up on a single notebook.

No word on the pricing or availability yet, but then again, these are notebook GPUs and are rarely available for puchase on their own. However, it seems that ASUS and MSI are already showcasing notebooks that feature these new GPUs at CeBit, so it's just a matter of time.
