Following a few weeks of building hype, OnePlus has today taken the veil off of its latest flagship smartphone, the OnePlus 3. As before, this phone is being marketed with ‘Never Settle’ branding, and while there seems to be no mention made of the phone being a ‘Flagship Killer’, as the last…..

Rumors hit the Web this week that OnePlus would be unveiling its latest flagship in just a couple of weeks, and as it happens: it’s true. Before the rumor mill got out of hand, company co-founder Carl Pei took to the official forums to give us a couple juicy bits of information.…..

We covered a number of gaming and component products from ASUS the other day, but on the mobile side, the company has announced even more. Those include a couple of products I am really excited about: ZenBook 3, and ZenFone 3. After taking a look at the ZenBook UX305 last summer, I…..

Let’s be honest about something: keyboards are a dime a dozen. Mechanical keyboards are a dime a dozen. LED mechanical keyboards are a dime a dozen!! Given this, it’s really becoming hard to get excited about a new keyboard release whenever one hits our inbox, but where G.SKILL’s new planks are concerned,…..

Computex just wouldn’t feel like Computex without Thermaltake gracing the Nangang exhibition center with a huge booth, so fortunately, the company showed up to this one, and with a number of sweet products for us to check out. The product I have to start with might not even be a product, per…..

This year’s Computex event is proving to be one of the busiest to date, with a countless number of companies unveiling a countless number of products. Where BitFenix is concerned, the company has just unveiled four new chassis, and some of them are quite interesting, to say the least. Inspired by the…..

It’s no secret that NVIDIA’s new GeForce GTX 1080 is the fastest single-GPU card on the planet, but what can it do exactly? That’s what we’re going to find out, as we take the top-end Pascal card through the paces in overclocking, and then find its ‘Best Playable’ settings across a handful of games at both 4K and ultrawide resolutions.

For some workstation users, there’s no option other than having exclusive access to a PC, one that’s finely tuned for their specific needs. But for many companies, dedicating a single PC to each user might put them on a path to poor ROI. It’s for that reason why virtualized workstations are beginning to take…..

Futuremark has just updated its PCMark test suite for Android with a new feature: storage testing. While storage might not sound that important overall, it is. Even if you have one of the fastest SoCs inside of your smartphone, slow storage can make it feel like a low-end device. Futuremark wants to…..

If you own one of ASUS’ Republic of Gamers motherboards and enjoy making your PC look as good as it is fast, you might have run into an issue where it’s almost impossible to find “perfect” memory modules to suit the motherboard. Well, thanks to Corsair, that problem is no more, as…..

Wow. Where to begin with this one? There are few people out there that would disagree that the copyright and trademark system in the US is less-than-ideal. All too often, content from sites like YouTube will be pulled for no reason, or at least for no good reason. One of the most…..

One of the biggest reasons most households want a good Internet connection is so that streaming services, like Netflix, will work without issue. In the past, I’ve had to deal with Internet connections that would barely allow a single person to watch Netflix in HD, but today, there are regularly multiple people in…..

Installing any operating system from scratch can be a tedious endeavor, but at this point in time, installing Windows 7 can be downright frustrating due to one little problem: there have been a ton of updates rolled-out since Service Pack 1 was released in 2011. Fortunately, Microsoft realizes this and has now…..

Following what most would agree was a successful launch of its GeForce GTX 1080, NVIDIA has decided to waste no time in making the specs for its next big card, the GTX 1070, available for all to see. This morning, the company added the card’s profile to its GeForce.com website, allowing us…..

NVIDIA’s Pascal architecture brings a lot of goodness to the table, and its GeForce GTX 1080 encapsulates it all. This card isn’t just faster than the TITAN X, it can sometimes even beat out SLI’d GTX 980s. There’s a lot more than just performance boosts with this card, though, so let’s dive in and tackle all of what makes it so great.

It’s no secret that for a bunch of reasons, the world doesn’t much care for Adobe’s Flash plugin. Even Adobe itself has begun moving away from it by promoting HTML5 content creation with its Animate CC development suite (which replaces Flash Professional). Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen a number…..

NVIDIA’s Jen-Hsun Huang covered a lot of ground at his company’s event to launch its newest GeForce cards, but when all was said and done, some questions lingered. One of the most common? “What in the heck is a ‘Founders Edition’ card???” Fortunately, that question was raised to NVIDIA during a private briefing, so…..

To help celebrate the launch of its first Pascal-based graphics cards, the GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070, NVIDIA’s kicked-off a competition that’s well worth checking out. This isn’t one of those typical contests with just one or a few prizes: in total, there are at least 1,000. And who doesn’t want an…..

It’s widely expected that Intel will be unveiling its next series of enthusiast processors at Taipei’s Computex at the start of June, and furthering that rumor is ASUS. Why? Well, why else would it choose to unveil a line of brand-new X99 motherboards right now? Exactly. In total, there are four X99…..

To those who’ve been waiting for a mid-range Maxwell Quadro to come along: your wait is over. To help wrap up its Maxwell-based lineup, NVIDIA’s Quadro team has released the ~$500 M2000. This card is largely targeted at CAD users and those with lighter 3D design needs, and promises to be much more efficient – and faster overall – than its predecessor. We gave the card a thorough test to see just how true that is.
