Club 3D is launching two new adapters today which have been the most requested items by game enthusiasts over the past 2 years. Game Consoles are setting new standards with every new generation. One of the most important ones of the latest consoles is the Ultra High Speed HDMI output, that most of them have. This delivers high bandwidth, which allows resolutions up to 4K120Hz. Displays used on the other side of the setup may have DisplayPort or USB Type-C inputs, which requires signal conversion. The new adapters offer this and are the perfect solution for users who have the latest game consoles and DisplayPort 1.4 capable displays—native or via DisplayPort Alternate Mode.

Club 3D is proud to present to you the next important step in USB-C technology. Less than a year after the official launch of the new USB Type-C Cable and Connector Specification Revision 2.1 and USB Power Delivery Specification 3.1, we can introduce the first 3 cables following the new standards.

The above just means: With our new cables it is possible to charge with up to 240 W, made possible by the Extended Power Range (EPR), which offers now up to 48 V voltage supply at a remaining 5 A. This is a huge step forward and will help f.e. to charge power hungry gaming notebooks and other devices who were suffering from the limitation of 100 W on previous standard.

Club 3D is proud to open up a new chapter for adapters which convert DisplayPort to HDMI with our brandnew CAC-1085 DisplayPort 1.4 to HDMI 4K120Hz HDR Active Adapter M/F. This adapter uses DisplayPort 1.4 DSC video compression technology to reach the new resolutions/refresh rates. Highly requested by users all around the world and industry leading companies in IT and AV, this new adapter is the perfect solution to bring 4K with astonishing 120Hz to the latest big size TVs and Displays with HDMI 2.1 inputs.

CAC-1085 is following the tradition of Club 3D bringing new technologies to the market at an early stage and set new milestones, like we did with our CAC-1070 (DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 4K60Hz Active Adapter M/F) in 2016 and CAC-1080 (DP 1.4 to HDMI 2.0b, adding additional HDR functionality) in 2018.
The first delivery of CAC-1085 is planned to reach our warehouse by end of June. In the week to follow the adapter should be available worldwide.

As part of our company policy Club 3D always wants to be first or among the first to bring new connectivity technologies to the market. We have done it again and are proud to announce the availability of the first Ultra High Speed HDMI Cables 10K 120Hz (with DSC 1.2 support) 48Gbps (aka HDMI 2.1) in 2 different lengths. We introduce CAC-1371 (1m) and CAC-1372 (2m) as the first cables for the new standard which will set new horizons regarding highest resolutions at very high clock rates.

Club 3D as the pioneer of Multi Stream Transport Hubs strengthen our presence in this segment with the announcement of the following products to complement our already established MST Hubs. Since our first introduction back in 2013, we are reaching a maturity level on these product lines and therefore we are introducing a lighter version packed in a polybag and powered solely with USB power. Compared to our further continued CSV-5XXX line of MST Hubs the new items will differ in some major points:

• all models are powered by USB only, no power supply needed
• different packaging: polybag instead of retail box
• no reset button on the product, for repeating digital handshake just plug the MST Hub on/off from the Display Port.
• no MiniDP to DP Adapter included in the box.

Reading this news you have the first 2017 message from Club 3D in front of you. 2017 will be a very exciting year for Club 3D since it will be the year of the 20th anniversary of the company that was founded in 1997 in the Netherlands. But not only this makes it exciting. Like always in IT, new technologies come up and after a certain time they have their breakthrough. In the year that we are all just starting a lot of tech people expect this for the following two: VR (Virtual Reality) and Type-C. For Type C you will receive another press release later this week. We are now going to look at VR.

Club 3D is proud to announce the first VR Ready adapters CAC-1056 (DisplayPort 1.1 to HDMI 1.4) and CAC-1156 (Mini DisplayPort 1.1 to HDMI 1.4). To drive your high resolution HDMI VR device without any trouble it is required that you have the right adapters to connect those to your PC or Laptop. Not every adapter or cable is capable of doing so. Adapters for VR devices need to be passive Adapters. Using one of the Club 3D adapters you can enjoy your VR device with those graphic cards that offer VR support like f.e. the latest AMD 470 and 480 chipsets or the Radeon Pro WX cards in the professional segment.

In January 2016 Club 3D brought a solution to the market as an upgrade since GPU solutions were not bundled with HDMI 2.0 connectors. Users needed to spend a lot of money for the latest graphics card, Notebook, Ultrabook or MiniPC, that were equipped with up to date technology HDMI 2.0 output for 4K@ 60Hz.

With the introduction of the CAC-1070 (DP 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 Adapter) and CAC-1170 (MiniDP to HDMI 2.0 Adapter) Club 3D has been the first company in the market to fulfil this demand. These 2 products have become our star products for 2016. Now it is time to develop things further and introduce the next products for this demand.

Club 3D is proud to announce a range of USB Type-C Adapters. In the first months of 2015 the USB Type-C connector was introduced. This completely new connector plug is smaller, reversible and capable of transferring more than data alone. It is expected that the USB Type-C connector will eventually replace the USB Type A and Type B connectors we have all been using over the past years.

In addition to our existing range of high quality Audio/ Video Adapters Club 3D is proud to announce a range of USB Type-C Adapters. In the first months of 2015 the USB Type-C connector was introduced. This completely new connector plug is smaller, reversible and capable of transferring more than data alone. It is expected that the USB Type-C connector will eventually replace the USB Type A and Type B connectors we have all been using over the past years.

It's been a year since the AMD Hawaii cards hit the market. The Radeon R9 290 and 290X reached a new level of performance and were the first cards aimed at gaming in 4K Ultra High Definition resolution. Club 3D launched PokerSeries versions of the R9 290 and 290X, targeted at gamers who demand the best looks, the highest framerates, the best cooling performance and great value for money. With the recent price adjustments the Club 3D R9 290(X) royalKing and royalAce versions now offer the highest performance ever at their respective price points.

But we have another Ace up our sleeve, a new member of the highly awarded PokerSeries family. Today we are proud to announce the Club 3D R9 290X 8Gb royalAce, the world's first Single GPU Gaming Card featuring 8192Mb GDDR5 memory. It's OverClocked out of the box for the best performance and packs the latest AMD Graphics Core Next technologies like True Audio, Powertune, XDMA and support for AMD's revolutionary Mantle API. The royalAce is beautifully designed and constructed and is fitted with a triple fan CoolStream cooler and a custom backplate which make it stand out in any serious gaming system.

The Radeon R7 and R9 series are expanding! First announced in September 2013 at the AMD Hawaii tech event, the Radeon R7 and R9 series have added about a dozen more cards to the product lineup. These new cards offer better performance than the competition while being more affordable at the same time. To close the gap between the very powerful yet affordable R9 270X and the immensely popular R9 280X, we are pleased to introduce the brand new Club 3D Radeon R9 280 royalKing!

Being a royalKing, the R9 280 is a proud new addition to our widely awarded and recognized PokerSeries. Fitted with a revised Tahiti PRO 2 GPU, the R9 280 has 1792 Stream Processors, 3072Mb of GDDR5 memory at 5000MHz and a 384 bit memory bus. This new addition to the R9 series offers significantly better specs and performance than the competition with a suggested end user price of $279 (SEP).

Here's the first picture of an AIB-branded Radeon R9 290 (non-X) graphics card, the Club3D Radeon R9 290. The card sticks to AMD's reference board design, which like the Radeon R9 290X, could have exclusive market presence for a while, before AMD's add-in board (AIB) partners come up with their own board designs. This particular card features a factory-overclock, although we don't have the clock speeds at hand. The reference design clock speeds, which will be loaded into the card's failsafe secondary BIOS, will be 946 MHz core, and 5.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory. Based on the 28 nm "Hawaii" silicon, the Radeon R9 290 features 2,560 stream processors, 160 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and a 512-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 4 GB of memory.

Ahead of its formal launch, various AIB-branded Radeon R9 290X graphics card packages smiled for the camera, revealing three things - they're all based on AMD's reference design, barring minor factory-overclock, they're otherwise identical, and that it could be a while before we'll see non-reference design R9 290X graphics cards. Pictured below are cards from three AIB partners, Sapphire, Club3D, and GIGABYTE. Barring Club3D, the other two offer Origin keys to Battlefield 4 (standard edition) as part of the package. We know of one other AIB that offers Battlefield 4, XFX.

EK Water Blocks, Ljubljana based premium water cooling gear manufacturer, is proud to officially release the EK-FC7990 incl. Backplate, a Full-Cover water block for undisputedly hottest gaming graphics card in the world - Radeon HD 7990 - bundled with aluminum backplate.

EK-FC7990 is a high performance full-cover water block engineered specifically for PowerColor/VTX3D/Club3D Radeon HD 7990 series graphics cards. This water block directly cools both GPUs, RAM as well as both VRMs (voltage regulation module) as water flows directly over these critical areas thus allowing the graphics card and it's VRM to remain stable under high overclocks. EK-FC7990 water block also features a high flow design therefore it can be easily used in liquid cooling systems using weaker water pumps.

The GeForce GT 640 cards are based on the GK107 chipset, and offer full support for PCI Express 3.0, DirectX 11.1, OpenGL 4.2 and OpenCL 1.2.

Aimed at the mid-entry level, the cards are a very affordable way to turn your PC into a multimedia and game computer. Like with all its Low Profile cards Club 3D offers more value with a Low Profile Kit (LP slot brackets included). The Club 3D GeForce GT 640 is the perfect solution for those that are looking for a small and affordable graphics upgrade.

Club3D announced its lineup of Radeon HD 7800 series graphics cards, the Radeon HD 7850 (model: CGAX-7856), and Radeon HD 7870 (CGAX-7876). Both models follow AMD reference design to the letter, there's little AIB vendor branding on these cards. The cards stick to AMD reference clock speeds, that's 1000/1200(4800) MHz (core/memory(effective)) for the HD 7870, and 860/1200(4800) MHz for the HD 7850. Based on the 28 nm "Pitcairn" silicon, the Club3D HD 7870 packs 1280 stream processors, and 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, over a 256-bit wide memory interface. The HD 7850 has 1024 stream processors. In all likelihood, Club3D's cards also stick to AMD's target pricing of US $349 for the HD 7870, and $249 for the HD 7850.

Club3D joined the HD 7700 party by launching its pair graphics cards, the Radeon HD 7770 (CGAX-7772) and Radeon HD 7750 (CGAX-7752). The two cards appear to be contract-manufactured by TUL, the company behind PowerColor and VTX3D, as the card designs bear a striking resemblence to those by the two brands. The HD 7770 of course is based on AMD's reference board and cooler designs, with a red-colored PCB. The HD 7750, on the other hand, features a refreshing single-slot cooler. The HD 7700 packs 640 GCN stream processors, and feactures clock speeds of 1000 MHz core, and 1125 MHz (4.50 GHz GDDR5 effective) memory; while the HD 7750 packs 512 stream processors, with clock speeds of 800 MHz core and 1125 MHz (4.50 GHz GDDR5 effective) memory.

Although AMD's Radeon add-in board partners (AIBs) are still "under oath" (read: NDA) not to disclose their products before the 9th of January, Club3D's Radeon HD 7970 press-shots still made it to the web. Pictured below are the Club3D Radeon HD 7970 graphics card and its box-art. The box art is typical Club3D, nothing exceptionally new there. The card, too, sticks to AMD's reference board design, till the point where it uses a red-colored PCB instead of a black one (found on AMD's HD 7970 press samples).

Based on the 28 nm "Tahiti" silicon, Radeon HD 7970 is the first DirectX 11.1 compliant graphics card, it packs 2048 GCN cores, and 3 GB of GDDR5 memory across a 384-bit wide memory interface. The core is clocked at 925 MHz, and the memory at 1375 MHz (5.50 GHz). It is expected that this card will stick to the price AMD disclosed, around US $550.

Club3D introduced a new custom-design GeForce GTX 570 special-edition graphics card that's Battlefield 3-themed.
