EVGA Introduces GeForce GTX 780 with New ACX Cooler
Prior to the launch of NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 780, we didn’t expect any vendor to launch right away with a special model, but EVGA has managed to surprise us. It’s not only announced multiple versions of the GTX 780, but has equipped some with its brand-new cooler, dubbed ACX. Thanks to the…..

Xbox One Follow-up: Always-on, Achievements & Used Games
With the dust having settled from yesterday’s launch of Microsoft’s Xbox One, I thought I’d follow up on our initial post to talk about a couple of other things that didn’t immediately catch our eye; three in particular. These include some findings regarding persistent connection, how achievements work, and also whether or not…..
Ultimate Ears’ UE BOOM the First ‘Social Music Player’
With its just-announced “UE BOOM”, Ultimate Ears has delivered what it calls the “World’s First Social Music Player”. To call the product a “music player” is a bit inaccurate, however, at least according to common interpretations of the term. Instead, it’s a wireless speaker – one that happens to have a lot of functionality…..
Microsoft Reveals the Xbox One, Aims for Complete Media Integration
As expected, Microsoft today announced the third major iteration of its Xbox lineup, which it calls Xbox One. To say that there’s a lot to talk about would be putting it mildly, so let’s waste no time with fluff. First, the tech specs. It’s long been rumored that AMD would be handling…..
NVIDIA’s Tegra 4i Might Not be Out Yet, But it Just Became 50% Faster
Announced in February, NVIDIA’s Tegra 4i sets out to be the company’s ‘fast and frugal’ SoC offering. Compared to its bigger brother, Tegra 4, it lobs off 12 GPU cores to sit at 60, and adds in an integrated i500 LTE modem. Aside from these changes, both chips are essentially the same…..
AMD Plucks Marketing Manager Sean Pelletier from NVIDIA’s Crew
AMD has been having a rough couple of years. Or, depending on who you ask, it’s been having a rough time ever since it acquired ATI – or even earlier. But in reality, acquiring ATI is one of the best decisions it’s made, as while the company’s CPUs are not as competitive…..
GELID Releases Rev. 2 GX-7 CPU Cooler, Features Stacked Heatpipes
GELID Solutions, a company long known for it’s aftermarket GPU coolers, fans, and other cooling related bits and pieces, has announced the release of its Rev. 2 GX-7 CPU cooler. Like the original GX-7, this 159mm tall tower-style cooler has 7 nickel plated heatpipes, two of which are stacked on top of the…..
More than 100 Hours of Video Are Uploaded to YouTube Every Minute
When YouTube first launched in May of 2005, it seems unlikely that anyone could have understood what would become of it. It gained public interest fast, and a mere year-and-a-half later, it was picked up by Google for $1.65 billion (talk about a great ROI). Fast-forward to today, and YouTube enjoys a…..
Futuremark Announces PCMark 8 – Includes Battery Tests and Native App Benchmarks
With its latest 3DMark iteration, Futuremark released its most ambitious project to date. For the first time ever, 3DMark became cross-platform, giving users the ability to benchmark smartphones, tablets, notebooks and of course, regular desktop PCs, and then be able to compare the scores accurately between them. That’s impressive, to say the…..
Ahead of Microsoft’s Xbox Reveal, Sony Barely Teases its PlayStation 4
After the rather lackluster press event Sony held this past February to announce its PlayStation 4 – where the console itself wasn’t even shown – you’d think that the company would throw us a frickin’ bone and give us the details we’re looking for. But no – ahead of Microsoft’s event tomorrow…..
Yahoo! Acquires Tumblr for $1.1 Billion, “Promises Not to Screw it Up”
It sure didn’t take long for this rumor to be confirmed: Yahoo! is purchasing popular microblogging service Tumblr for $1.1 billion in cash. This marks the first major acquisition that Yahoo! has made since ex-Googler Marissa Mayer took over as CEO last summer, and it’s one that helps bolster the company’s social…..

According to CNET, the Las Vegas Sun reported the death of teenager Marcos Vincente Arenas as a consequence of getting run over by a thief who stole his iPad. The Las Vegas Sun story said that the fifteen year-old was walking down the street when an SUV, described as a white Ford…..
HP Announces SlateBook x2 – Hybrid Tablet Featuring NVIDIA’s Tegra 4
With all of the hubbub surrounding NVIDIA opening pre-orders for its upcoming SHIELD gaming handheld last week, it seems that I missed the news of an interesting launch from HP: SlateBook x2. As the owner of one of the earlier ASUS Transformer pads (TF201), I’ve often wondered whether or not hybrid tablets…..
Former Valve Employees Continue Development on Canned Augmented Reality Glasses Project
When Valve laid-off 25 employees back in February, CEO Gabe Newell assured fans that no future projects had been affected. However, as we can now see, one project was indeed impacted: augmented reality glasses. In development for over a year, Valve let the project go after its project lead, the ultra-talented Jeri…..
EA Drops Online Pass Like a Bad Habit
EA began its Online Pass program several years ago; I first encountered it in Dragon Age 2 on the PC in 2011. The purpose of it was to obtain a small measure of profit from the trade-in market, which is insanely popular with console games. Anyone who has played a modern PC game knows…..
Caving Into the Excitement, NVIDIA Kicks-off SHIELD Pre-orders Today
We reported earlier this week that pre-orders for NVIDIA’s upcoming handheld gaming platform SHIELD would kick-off on May 20th, but thanks to the sheer level of excitement for the product that the company has witnessed since then, it’s decided to push the date ahead to today. Whether or not this is merely…..
Noctua Takes Care of Your Xeons with its NH-U12DX i4 and NH-U9DX i4 CPU Coolers
Contrary to what some folks think, most of us here at Techgage have day jobs so we don’t have to live in our parent’s basement eating ramen while we tinker with our tech. This news item is a little late thanks to said day job, but it’s one that’s truly better late than never.…..
Logitech & Riot Games Team Up to Deliver Cool Features for League of Legends Players
When Logitech unveiled its “G” lineup back in March, it became clear that the company was beginning to get serious about gaming. It’s not that Logitech had ignored gamers all these years – because that’s hardly the case. Instead, the company began to dig deeper into what it was that would produce…..
50 Billion Served: Apple’s App Store Reaches Landmark Download Number
When Apple launched its App Store in the summer of 2008, it took a mere 9 months for 1 billion apps to be downloaded. Five months later, that number became 2 billion. That kind of acceleration is far from modest, but it was just the beginning. Momentum picked up, and in March of 2012,…..
Logitech Releases its 2013 Color Collection, Touts ‘Irresistible Eye Candy’
Whenever we talk about Logitech here at Techgage, you can usually expect the topic to be gaming peripherals. When most of our team are avid gamers as well as our audience, that’s of little surprise. But Logitech offers so much more than gaming models; in fact, if you’re in need of a…..
Android & iOS Capture 92.3% of Mobile Market in Q1; Windows Phone Surpasses BlackBerry
At a time when BlackBerry is trying its hardest to recapture a sliver of the market it once enjoyed, a recent report by research firm IDC has sure put a damper on things. During Q1 of 2012, BlackBerry held a 6.4% share, with 9.7 million units shipped. Fast-forward a year, and that…..

WD’s My Passport Ultra Focuses on Performance and Security
When I took a look at WD’s My Passport last summer, I was left impressed with its performance, its form-factor and overall design. But while a solution like that is great for those who are not too concerned about what’s on their drive, it can leave a bit to be desired for…..
Microsoft Phasing Out Xbox Point System
Microsoft’s “point” system has been a sore spot for many people. The cash values never matched up evenly, you were generally left with a small balance and you didn’t always having something to spend it on easily.
