Sanctum is a 2011 video game that combines the game styles of tower defence and first person shooter. The game runs on the Unreal 3 engine. Coffee Stain Studios was one of the main contestants in the 'Make Something Unreal Contest' by Epic Games in 2009 with the title Sanctum, at that time unreleased.They were among the top runners in the categories of: "Best FPS-game mod", "Best game mod" and the educational category.
AMD's Graphics Core Next Gen architecture is scheduled to appear in products due in Q4, 2011, as both Eric Demers and Rick Bergman confirmed for us. It is likely they will use TSMC's 28nm process, and have a dual architecture split like Northern Islands. If so, then this time Cayman VLIW-4 architecture hits the mainstream, and the next generation architecture debuts in the high end - similar to AMD's deployment of VLIW-4 in the Radeon HD 6000 series.

Interesting post from Caveman Jim over at Rage3D regarding total power draw from modern (and affordable) IPS monitors plus his Radeon 5830, versus two older 4:3 panels and an older video card:

"We go look it up, and a single 2007FP burns 75W, it's an 16ms Ultrasharp with IPS and old ass backlight. The P2310H burns 22W, and is a TN 5ms panel with dual CCFL. Not even LED backlight. Idle power on the 2007FP is 2W, on the P2310h 0.42W.
We've had a week or so of slow news, and we've been offline in various amounts since Thursday. We are back online and better than ever! A core group of folks have worked for the past seven months to migrate and transform the old site (based on phpBB3 and MediaWiki) into a unified Drupal install.
Information should be much easier to find, and search now works site-wide. There are still some issues we're working out, but the team is very happy that we can finally share all of our hard work.
