It's been almost two months since the last newsletter. I'll save info on all the great game updates, blog posts, videos and tutorials for a couple more weeks as we have a lot of great updates to share. We have done some performance tuning and the site should be much faster for everyone.
WSGF @ AMD HardOCP Event - Follow the WSGF on Facebook & Twitter to Win a Monitor Stand
The WSGF will be at the AMD HardOCP FX GamExperience. We will be giving away two HD Triple stands from Ergotech. All you've got to do is Like our Facebook page, or follow us on Twitter. I plan to do a little contest at the event for our followers. I will be in the AMD booth all day with Shane Parfitt, who is the AMD Eyefinity Product Manager. Stop by to check out the WSGF Edition Stand, and let us answer your questions about Eyefinity. AMD will also be giving away a WSGF Edition Multi-Monitor Stand.
WSGF Edition Monitor Stand Released - Online Store Launched
We have finally released the WSGF Edition Multi-Monitor Stand. It's the only stand designed to handle 27" monitors. It will even do them in a "one over three" configuration. It will also do five 24" monitors in 5x1-Portrait. Check out the product page for all the details, and order yours today. It is available exclusively through the WSGF. If you already have an HD Triple from Ergotech, we offer upgrade kits. And, if you don't need the additional capabilities of the WSGF Edition, we are also selling the standard HD Triple from Ergotech.
2011 WSGF Gaming Awards
We also had voting for the 2011 WSGF Gamign Awards. Check out the winners for Dev of the Year, Indie Dev of the Year, Game of the Year, and this years Narrowminded Award winner.
AMD Radeon HD 7970 Review
I was able to put the AMD Radeon 7970 through its paces in widescreen and Eyefinity. I also updated my test rig from a Core i7-920 to a Core i7-2600k. I'm surprised that such a jump (two years worth of CPU improvements) netted me very little improvement. Check out the review to see how the HD 7970 compares to other cards, and how the two CPUs compare.
WSGF Karma/Rep System Launches
We've launced a Karma/Rep system on the site to help reward those who are contributing quality content to the WSGF. Top points earners will get free games on Steam at the end of each quarter. Get all the details on the new system by reading the announcement.
