NVIDIA GTX 275 / ATI Radeon HD 4890 review roundup
Unless you've started your weekend early, you have probably realized that both NVIDIA and AMD announced new GPUs this morning. Coincidental timing aside, it sure makes things easy for the consumer to eye the respective benchmarks and plan out their next mid-range GPU purchase accordingly. A whole bevy of reviews, tests, graphs and bar charts have hit the web this morning extolling and panning the pros and cons, but without getting too deep in the nitty-gritty, we can sum things up pretty easily with this. NVIDIA's GTX 275 showed performance that placed it perfectly between the GTX 285 and GTX 260, and in all but a few off-the-wall tests, it outpaced the ATI Radeon HD 4890 (albeit slightly). Granted, the HD 4890 was called the "fastest, single-GPU powered graphics card AMD has ever produced" by HotHardware, though apparently even that wasn't enough to help it snag the gold across the board. If you're hungry for more (and you are, trust us), take the rest of the day off and dig in below.

Squabbles with Intel aside, NVIDIA's engineers have been keeping busy, and the company's got a whole slew of new high-powered workstation graphics chips to talk about this morning, along with new SLI virtualization support. The new gear ranges from the Quadro NVS 295, which'll drive two 30-inch displays for under $100, all the way up to the monster 4GB Quadro FX 5800, which packs 240 CUDA cores onto a PCI Express x16 card for $3150. The 5800 and baby brothers Quadro FX 3800 and 4800 all support SLI Multi-OS, which allows workstation users to tap into the cards using multiple OSes in Parallels -- the HP Z800 is the first machine off the line to offer the capability, but more will follow. Pretty geeky stuff, head to the read links for more info.

AMD today introduced the ATI FirePro V7750 graphics accelerator for the high-end market. This high-end graphics card features multiple DisplayPort outputs and a Dual Link enabled DVI output, that generate a multi-monitor desktop of more than 5000 pixels wide in a single-slot form factor. It comes with a 1GB of frame buffer memory and a 30-bit display pipeline that enables rendering of more accurate color reproduction and visual quality of complex and large data sets. You can purchase the ATI FirePro V7750 graphics accelerator for $899.

Sorry Mr. Schumacher, but your ten year record just got obliterated (okay, "beat soundly") by a Briton. On the dry, dusty plains of Ivanpah Lake in Nevada, Sir Richard Jenkins managed to perfectly harness winds of 30MPH in his futuristic Ecotricity Greenbird in order to hit a ridiculously quick 126.1MPH. In all honestly, we can't even fathom how you hit that speed with just 30MPH of wind, but clearly we're not up to speed when it comes to physics and engineering. At any rate, the milestone is pretty important for Ecotricity, which is trying to make wind power the go-to alternative energy source within the next score. Now, if only we could figure out a cheap and easy way to generate wind on demand, we'd really be onto something.

As reported last year in July and Toyota is to deliver very soon: The world's biggest automaker today announced the newest version of their Prius hybrid vehicle, due out in Japan in May, will be equipped with solar panels. Toyota claims the new model will also come with a brawnier and more fuel-efficient engine (the picture shows a model from last year).
The engine will be a 1.8-liter type, which is 300cc bigger than the version available in Prius cars sold at the moment. According to Toyota, it saves around 10% of fuel when compared to existing Prius engines, running around 35km on a liter of gas.
What's surely more interesting though is the solar power aspect. The rooftop solar panels are supposed to charge the battery whenever the car is parked. Toyota says drivers can use solar energy to power the air conditioner and other parts of the car.
Prices in Japan range between $21,000 and $26,000, depending on extras. The company's Japanese website doesn't offer any official information at this point so the news is yet to be confirmed.
