With the highly-anticipated beta of Tom Clancy’s The Division launching next weekend, NVIDIA has decided to give us some details on things we should be aware of. First and foremost, it’s recommended that a GeForce GTX 970 is owned to run the game at 1080p with good detail, while a 980 Ti…..

A new beta for NVIDIA’s game-optimization tool GeForce Experience has just been released, and if you’ve been eagerly awaiting features like windowed-mode recording or advanced microphone control, this isn’t an update to skip over. If you’ve yet to receive a GFE beta update, you can click on Preferences at the top of…..

Digital health products have exploded over the past couple of years, and at CES, there was no shortage of related offerings to look at. One company’s portfolio stood out to me more than the others, and it might have its apt name to thank. iHealth offers a huge selection of different health…..

Kingston announced four products in total at CES, but at its Caesar’s Palace suite, it had a handful of other things to whet our appetites with. Our first stop was at a PC with a simple looking PCIe SSD. Under the hood, though, it was far from simple: it packed four M.2…..

Kingston hasn’t been in the audio game for long, but in the short time it has been, it’s managed to strike the right chord with gamers. Ever since the release of its first HyperX Cloud headset, the company has been delivering solutions that are priced right, look good, and deliver excellent audio…..

Not too long ago, Patriot’s biggest focus was DRAM and flash, but over the past couple of years, the company has expanded its portfolio to include battery-related products, and most recently, peripherals. At its CES suite, Patriot had pretty much everything on display, with our first stop being a table where a vast…..

Last summer, we took a look at Kingston’s MobileLite Wireless G2, a product we ended up loving thanks to its multi-purpose design and ease-of-use. With it, you could share data wirelessly to various devices, charge up a mobile device, and act as a router if a LAN cable is plugged in. At CES,…..

Kingston has long produced secure flash drives, but its latest, the DataTraveler 2000, could very well be its best ever. There are two reasons for that: it offers a hardware PIN to keep it secure, and the OS you use doesn’t matter. As a hardware-based solution, the DT 2000 keeps your data…..

With its ZenFone 2, released earlier this year (check out our review), ASUS seemed to hit the nail on the head. It produced a $200 phone with large 5.5-inch 1080p screen that offered a solid design, and a fantastic featureset (even including dual-SIM). Even our own JD Kane decided what it offered…..

GIGABYTE’s vast Z170 motherboard lineup can make it difficult to choose one to go with, which is actually a great problem to have. But, we can tell you that if you are a gamer who wants a lot of functionality for a fair price, one board to be on the lookout for is GIGABYTE’s GA-Z170X-Gaming 7. It’s ~$225 USD, and put simply, it’s stacked.

On Christmas Day, one where many people would have been on Steam to cash in gift cards, the service experienced one heck of a screw-up. Between 11:50AM PST and 13:20PM PST, a huge number of users experienced an odd phenomenon where on a page refresh, a page destined for someone else was…..

Well, here’s an interesting specimen. ASUS’ brand-new E3 Pro Gaming V5 motherboard looks similar to many others in its Republic of Gamers lineup, but in actuality, it’s quite different. The “E3” in its name refers to Intel Xeon E3 processors, which are designated as “workstation” or “server” models. With this board, ASUS…..

In our in-depth look at NVIDIA’s latest Iray solutions earlier this month, we noted that a plugin for Maya would launch soon. Well, that “soon” is now, so if you’re interested in purchasing a license, you can do so right here. Like Iray Server and Iray for 3ds Max, Iray for Maya…..

AMD has just made a couple of interesting announcements revolving around near-future and future display technologies. For starters, FreeSync is getting a lot of love, with a major addition coming to the tech in the form of HDMI support. It appears that this will not be a backwards-compatible feature, but instead will…..

When I first wrote about Minecraft back in 2009, I claimed that with it, “The Blocky Sky’s the Limit”. Little did I realize at the time just how true that would turn out to be. It took barely another year before someone managed to build the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek, a…..

You didn’t really think that AMD was going to let 2015 wrap up without the launch of a new FirePro workstation card, did you? Just in the nick of time, the company has announced it FirePro W4300, a card that replaces last year’s W5100, ultimately delivering the same bang, for less buck. Let’s check it out.

Today, NVIDIA has announced that going forward, it will itself be selling Iray plugins for different design software suites, as well as a software solution called Iray Server. The first official release of these have been a long time coming, so there’s only one thing to do: take them for an in-depth test.

When a smartphone vendor comes along and offers its latest option as a “flagship killer”, it doesn’t exactly leave much room for leeway: it’s either going to be accurate, or off the mark. On paper, the OnePlus 2’s case seems to be solid, so let’s take a hard look at it and see if its promises are lived up to.

It didn’t take long after NVIDIA released its G-SYNC tech to the market for nice monitors using it to pop up. A great example would be ASUS’ RoG SWIFT, a 27-inch offering we took a look at last fall. Since then, ASUS has released a handful of follow-up models, while Acer, AOC, BenQ, and even…..

When AMD invited us to join a conference call late last month, we were told that it’d revolve around Radeon drivers. Like Omega last year, I just assumed that it’d be a modest evolution, a mass of bug fixes behind the hood, and not much up front. Well, I was wrong, and…..
