The change-log follows.

Some photos, screenshots and benchmarks of what appears to be an XFX RX 580 graphics card are doing the rounds, courtesy of overclocker Lau Kin Lam, who shared them (alongside a three-hour log video) on his Facebook page. Apparently, this is a special, China-only edition of the card, which is a shame, considering the great-looking waterblock that is smiling for the camera. The fact that this card is using a reference board with one 8-pin power connector may prove relevant to its overclocking efforts (and those of other, non-reference boards that we've seen carry both the 8-pin and an extra 6-pin power connector.

Publisher Ubisoft has issued new screenshots and details of Ubisoft Montreal's Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2, which was announced exactly one month ago. Compared to the first entry in Ubisoft Montreal's Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas series, the first-person tactical sequel will feature 11 new weapons, 13 new multiplayer maps, two new multiplayer modes, and the ability to play co-op at any time during the single-player campaign, though it was not specified if co-op will be offline-only. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is expected to arrive on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 in March 2008.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Although, Ubisoft slated two titles in the previous post, it's now balancing with the announcement of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, a sequel to the Sin City-based tactical shooter released in 2006. The game, which Ubisoft said is planned for "next-generation consoles and PC," is scheduled for release in March 2008 to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Rainbow Six gaming franchise. In an announcement today, Ubisoft didn't reveal much about the upcoming game but promised improved graphics, new gameplay features and new Vegas settings. The tactical solo campaign will return, and the sequel will build on its predecessor's popular multiplayer modes. Co-op and adversarial multiplayer will return, and Vegas 2 will provide "unprecedented interaction between the solo and multiplayer modes," Ubisoft said. "We are convinced that Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will remain a pioneer in the highly competitive first person shooter genre, bringing more of what Rainbow Six fans love to the table.", he also added.

Ubisoft has released a bunch of downloadable content for Rainbow Six: Vegas. For 800 Xbox Live points (roughly $10 USD), you can nab yourself two new gameplay modes and five new (three new and two re-done) multiplayer maps.

The new maps are:

• Marshalling Yard
• Roof
• Doscala Restaurant
• Border Town (redone)
• Killhouse (redone)

The two new gameplay types are:

• Assassination ("One team attempts to take out the other team's VIP during an escort mission")
• Total Conquest ("King of the Multiple Hills").
