We’ve talked time and time again about the importance of backing up your important data, but all too often, people don’t take that warning seriously enough, and it can bite them in the worst way possible. Simply put, it sucks to lose data that you know you can never get back. It’s…..

Now here’s something I’m sure a lot of us were not expecting to see this weekend: an epic match-up between Xbox One and PC gamers. For as long as brainwaves have existed, there’s been a debate about multiplayer console vs. PC. The general consensus is that PC gamers, equipped with a mouse…..

The fact that people crave a Half-Life 3 isn’t something Valve is oblivious to, but if we need reasons as to why the company has yet to give us that, look no further than it other games, and Steam. Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2 are enormously popular, and have proven to…..

Given the incredible number of Web services Amazon offers, we knew it’d just be a matter of time before it ushered in its own VPS solution. That happens right now, with Lightsail, a solution that targets the likes of Digital Ocean, Linode, OVH, among others. Amazon promises a lot of things with…..

A couple of months ago, we wrote about an investigation that was taking place against Hello Games, creator of No Man’s Sky. This investigation, led by the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority, spawned as the result of numerous customer complaints – and if you’ve been reading the Web since the game dropped this…..

At this point, it’s hard to picture a Corsair that doesn’t sell chassis or PSUs, but just a little over a decade ago, its portfolio was void of both products. The PSUs came first, starting off with the HX620W, which we took a look at all those years ago. From the get-go,…..

The launch of Intel’s Kaby Lake desktop processors is due to happen soon, so it’s no surprise that leaks have begun to hit the Web (much to Intel’s chagrin, we’d imagine). Well, for everyone holding out for a Kaby Lake upgrade, there’s some good news: these chips look to be fast, even…..

After writing about Watch Dogs 2 support in NVIDIA’s latest GeForce driver earlier, I decided to give the game an install and see what it offered on the graphics front – namely to see if it’d be worth benchmarking in the near-future. Well, before I could even see the game world, I…..

If you’re a GeForce gamer anxious to load up Watch Dogs 2 today, be sure to first hop on over to GeForce.com and grab the latest driver, versioned 376.09. In addition to optimizations for Ubisoft’s latest, this driver also enhances performance in Steep and Dead Rising 4 (TIL: there’s a Dead Rising 4!).…..

Development of Apple’s upcoming ‘Campus 2’ has made some huge progress over the past year, and based on what we see right now, it looks like it will have no problem opening its doors in late 2017 to over 10,000 employees. If you haven’t taken a good look at Apple’s new HQ before, do…..

Building a powerhouse gaming or workstation PC requires a solid motherboard as a base, and GIGABYTE’s X99-Ultra Gaming has proven to be just that. This ~$249 offering is packed to the gills with features, including at the very least a plethora of LEDs that can spice up any build.

We talked about the release of Everest VR a couple of months ago, a VR app that’s more of an experience than a “game”. You start at Everest’s famous base camp, and then make the trek to the top. The best thing about Everest VR is that you won’t risk dying during…..

The pennies musicians earn through streaming services has been a hot topic for a while, but the problem hit the mainstream a couple of years ago when Taylor Swift pulled her catalog out of Spotify, as she despised streaming services that offered free subscriptions. Well, with a new infographic at website Information…..

We’re either all living in a dream, or Ubisoft has actually just committed to a couple of incredible changes in its game development going forward. You might want to sit down for this. In talking to GamesIndustry, Ubisoft’s VR of Live Operations Anne Blondel-Jouin said that her company has been thinking a…..

When Corsair announced its HARPOON RGB mouse and K55 RGB keyboard a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that if you’re ever in need of new peripherals, Corsair’s overwhelming selection is bound to have something “perfect” for you. Well, the same goes for the company’s chassis lineup, something that’s reaffirmed today with…..

Qualcomm has today announced that it’s teamed up with Samsung to help craft its next-gen Snapdragon processor, 835. This chip will be built around Samsung’s 10nm FinFET processor, which versus a 14nm process allows Qualcomm to improve performance, battery-life, and general efficiency. The San Diego-based semiconductor company says that its Snapdragon 835,…..

Google has just opened preorders for its new “Wifi” mesh router, pricing them at $129.99 a piece, or $299.99 for a set of three. That sounds expensive – and that’s because it kind of is – but it’s still cheaper than competing solutions that set out to do the same thing: to…..

As expected, OnePlus today yanked the veil off of its brand-new OnePlus 3T. Well, “brand-new” might be stretching it, as the phone is more of an iterative release to the OP3 – a second option for those who want to shell out a bit more for the ultimate in performance. Whereas the…..

Considering Techgage doesn’t often talk about consoles, it might stand out that we’ve had three in-depth articles relating to Sony’s new PS4 Pro over the course of the past ten days. For the sake of sanity, I am glad that I can call our coverage “complete”, but before I wrap up, I…..

We’ve been taking an in-depth look at Sony’s PS4 Pro over the course of the past week, and now we wrap things up with a technical and performance look. Is the Pro that much faster than the non-Pro outside of gaming? What happens when the hard drive is replaced with an SSD? These questions and more are answered within.
