From a convenience and security standpoint, fingerprint readers are an awesome addition to any computing device – whether it be a phone or a computer. It’s long been a worry, though, that if someone was determined enough to gain access to a fingerprint-locked device, it might be easier to replicate that fingerprint rather than…..

If you’re an NVIDIA user who’s planning to pick up Battleborn or delve into the betas for Forza Motorsport 6: APEX, Overwatch, or Paragon, the new 365.10 ‘Game Ready’ driver is meant for you. While three of the four new games covered in this release are in beta, the driver is not:…..

If you were one of the first to preorder an Oculus Rift and have yet to receive it, there’s some good news: you might be able to go to a store and purchase it there instead. That’s a recommendation that comes straight out of the mouth of Oculus. In a new release,…..

When RGB mechs first hit the market, they were priced as if they were the first RGB mechs to hit the market. Since then, some vendors have been releasing more affordable options for those who love both RGB LEDs and mechanical switches. GAMDIAS is one of those, and with its $100 Hermes RGB, it’s no longer that expensive to add color to your typing or gaming.

When it first leaked that Apple was keen on removing the 3.5mm audio jack from future iPhones, even the most devout Apple fans thought the company had finally lost its marbles. While the traditional 3.5mm jack is about as old-school a technology could get on a modern device, it hasn’t really “needed”…..

When AMD introduced its latest-gen graphics cards last summer, it left little to the imagination. Right from the get-go, we knew that the 300-series would include at least four models, and that the Fury line would include a Fury, Fury X, Fury Nano, and a dual-GPU option. At that time, that dual-GPU…..

While many vendors are taking advantage of the ongoing VR revolution to offer “VR Ready” products, ASUS is having none of it. Instead, the Taiwanese company wants to take things a step further, and offer “Beyond VR Ready” products. Touché, ASUS. With its Beyond VR Ready program, ASUS is certifying a huge…..

One of the most obvious caveats of notebooks is that the performance won’t ever match desktops – but, that doesn’t mean that some vendors won’t put forth their best effort to tighten the gap as much as possible. A good example of how this is being done is with MAINGEAR’s new Pulse…..

When rumors of Sony’s PlayStation ‘4.5’ first hit the Web, it was easy to brush off as just a rumor. But since then, that rumor has heated up, with some of the best information we’ve had to date coming out just now. Word is that the PS 4.5 will utilize AMD’s upcoming Polaris GPU architecture. I take a look at what this could mean for PlayStation fans, while littering in a few personal requests.

NVIDIA’s Quadro team has sure been on a release rampage this past month. First came along the second-generation top-end M6000, which now sports 24GB of GDDR5, and soon after, we were hit with the M5500, a desktop-class card designed for notebooks. On the table now is a bit of a special release,…..

NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference is all about showing off cutting-edge technologies and looking to the future (near or far). That being the case, if you appreciate the working side of graphics technology, GTC is some sort of geek heaven, with NVIDIA showing off what it has coming, and its partners doing the…..

Kingston has just announced the release of two brand-new flash drives designed for those who demand bullet-proof (as much as possible, anyways) security for their on-the-go data. Those drives are the DataTraveler 4000G2 with Management (DT4000G2DM) and DataTraveler Vault Privacy 3.0 with Management (DTVP30DM). One of the standout features of these drives…..

If you’ve been paying any attention to the Internet lately, you’re likely well aware that both the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive are now “available”, allowing those who preordered either device to tear it up in digital worlds like never before. While gaming is undoubtedly the biggest scenario revolving around VR, there…..

Building a gaming desktop can be tough, but building a gaming notebook can be even harder. While most vendors limit your options, Eurocom goes out of its way to provide the most customization possible. As we find out in this review, the company’s offerings are diverse, and based on our findings with the Monster 4, a notebook with professional looks can still be a beast inside.

To most, routers are just boring boxes that sit there and stream the Internet from the outside, in. It’s hard to imagine that anyone would put ASUS’ RT-AC5300 in that same “boring boxes” category, though. It’s the kind of “ultimate” router you didn’t even know could exist. It sports eight antennas that…..

Like many reading this, I’m excited for VR. Both Oculus’ Rift and HTC’s Vive look to offer great experiences out-of-the-gate, and as the famous saying goes, the best is yet to come. While VR has been around in some form for quite a while, what makes modern VR different is that it’s…..

It’s taken a while to reach this point, but we’re finally here: Oculus’ Rift has been released. If you were one of the first to preorder the device, you’ll likewise be one of the first to receive it (and chances are you’d be well-aware of when it’s going to land). If you…..

In advance of its GPU Technology Conference, which takes place in less than two weeks, NVIDIA has pulled a surprise out of its hat: an updated Quadro M6000 workstation graphics card. While there are a couple of subtle differences between this iteration and “previous-gen” (as NVIDIA now calls the original), it also comes…..

Buying a gaming keyboard today is far from easy, unless you’re the type of person who simply chooses the first one that looks good. There seems to be a countless number of manufacturers churning these things out, and even one company can offer an overwhelming selection. In Logitech’s case, the company covers…..

It’s not too often that we see “world’s first” listed in an email subject, and when we do, it’s often a lie. In this particular case, though, it appears that Philips is in fact the first out the door with a monitor that utilizes “Quantum Dots”, promising color accuracy improvements of 50%.…..
