Logitech’s MX series of products have become well-regarded over the years, though the offerings are generally quite a bit different from all of the gaming products that come through our office. Gamers are not the target for the new MX products; instead, Logitech says it’s best-suited for developers, engineers, and designers. Let’s…..

It’s beginning to feel like hardware vendors are bucking the trend of when and where products are going to be launched. To our recollection, Berlin’s annual IFA event doesn’t typically result in many computer hardware launches, but this year has proven different. Earlier, we reported that NVIDIA announced a Quadro RTX 6000 high-end…..

(Sept 5 update at bottom) At Techgage, we care a lot about benchmarks, and especially real-world ones. Over time, we’ve reduced the number of irrelevant benchmarks to make way for more realistic tests that our readers can actually make use of. Our Cinebench performance was joined by real Cinema 4D performance a…..

Texas likes to do things big, and its latest supercomputer reiterates that. Developed by the University of Texas at Austin, the new Frontera supercomputer is unlike most others, as it’s comprised of two different subsystems. The primary is built by Dell EMC, and uses Intel Xeon CPUs, while the second is built by…..

Overall, AMD’s launch of its third-gen Ryzen processors was successful. It’s impossible to look at the performance results and think otherwise. Yet, it feels like there’s no such thing as a “perfect” launch, because once the products began to find themselves in consumer hands, issues of boost clocks not hitting rated speeds…..

Since the launch of AMD’s third-gen Ryzen CPUs in July, there’s been a lot of chatter around the web with regards to which benchmarks matter, and which can be safely ignored. We’re rather passionate about benchmarking, so we decided to chime in and give our thoughts. AMD’s launch was massive for a…..

Back in July, Intel made the announcement that it would be bringing integer scaling to its graphics driver, and late last week, the first supporting driver was released. This release comes soon after NVIDIA itself introduced integer scaling in its graphics drivers. We’re sure AMD can’t be far behind. With as much…..

We’re taking a look at two of Corsair’s most recently released mice: The NIGHTSWORD RGB has a unique weight system, and the M55 RGB PRO caters to those who either prefer an ambidextrous design. Let’s check them out.

At its GTC event in March, NVIDIA released its first ‘Creator’ driver, one that targeted the ProViz market just as the Game Ready drivers have targeted gamers. Some time later, NVIDIA changed the name from Creator to ‘Studio’, matching the same name applied to notebooks that adhere to NVIDIA’s Studio platform. The…..

This week, 3DMark gained another feature test, this one revolving around the useful variable rate shading feature currently supported by NVIDIA’s Turing and Intel’s Ice Lake GPU architectures. This test becomes another that won’t run on AMD hardware, as we confirmed with the company a month ago that current Radeon archs do…..

The minimum and recommended PC specs have been released for both Borderlands 3 and Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. Gearbox and Ubisoft have also revealed some of the features we can expect to have control over in the settings.

It’s hard to talk Qualcomm and not mention 5G, but the company is still very much focused on all of the other wireless standards it supports, including Wi-Fi 6. While Wi-Fi 6 has been around for a couple of years, its adoption thus far has been pretty modest. Things are improving as…..

MAGIX updated its popular Vegas Pro video editing suite to version 17 earlier this month, bringing with it a bunch of new features and enhancements, as well as promises of performance improvements all over. We’re taking a look at where things stand today with CPU and GPU encodes, as well as playback performance.

It’s a frustrating reality for Linux users that Windows software counterparts tend to be better. They may offer greater functionality, better design, and be easier-to-use. There are some exceptions, such as with the NVIDIA Linux GPU driver, which offers two features the Windows version doesn’t: temperature monitoring, and fan control. For the…..

The latest batch of 10th-gen Intel Core processors have arrived, coming to us in the form of Comet Lake, and with core/thread counts going up to 6C/12T. These chips are still built on a 14nm process, but should offer considerable performance benefits over the previous generation for their intended devices – productivity…..

We don’t often feel compelled to talk about benchmarking we’re working on until it’s finished, but we know there are many who have been waiting on our look at performance in MAGIX Vegas Pro 17, so we wanted to take a moment to provide some updates. Ultimately, we hope to have something…..

Keeping your important data backed up is crucial, yet it’s a fact that the vast majority of folks don’t seem to grasp – until, of course, the inevitable happens. I’ve personally lost data over the years, and I’ve known way too many people who’ve experienced the same. I have multiple solutions in…..

NVIDIA announced its RTX GeForce series at last year’s Gamescom, and this year, the company has been using the event to talk about all of the RTX gaming infusion that’s coming down the pipe, as well as some cool features being added to the GeForce driver. And speaking of, that new driver…..

After NVIDIA announced its RTX technologies last summer, the world began to wonder just how much it could improve our games. Since then, some examples of ray tracing implementations have been better than others, with Metro Exodus proving to be one of the best so far. That’s a series that’s always valued…..

With Blender 2.80 now launched, we’re taking a fresh look at performance across the latest hardware, including AMD’s latest Ryzen 3000-series CPUs and Navi GPUs, as well as NVIDIA SUPER cards. That includes both CPU and GPU testing with the Cycles renderer, GPU testing with Eevee, and viewport performance with LookDev.
