Display interfaces are not exactly the sort of tech people love to talk to friends about, but they are important none the less. For the last 15 years or so, we’ve seen slow increments with DisplayPort and HDMI. With 4K displays and the desire for higher framerates too, we keep exceeding the…..

beyerdynamic Begins Shipping LAGOON ANC Noise-canceling Wireless Headphones
The market has no shortage of active noise-canceling headphones, but it can be argued that there is a lack of “great” ones. And, it’s true. It seems like every ANC solution has at least one obvious caveat, but fortunately, they’re all typically good at getting a decent job done in both audio…..

What Classic Games Do You Want To See Infused With Ray Tracing?
Just after Computex, NVIDIA released Quake II RTX, a new take on the classic that infuses ray tracing into the engine. The result is pretty impressive, with the real-time lighting effect delivering believable, and perhaps more immersive, environments. Of course, ray tracing isn’t light on computation (pun intended), so the faster your…..
PCIe 6.0 Specification Slated For Release In 2021
Five months ago (to the day), we explored what PCIe 4.0 and its 5.0 successor will bring to the table in terms of raw bandwidth. At the time, it felt funny talking about 5.0 when 4.0 wasn’t even been commercially available to regular consumers yet, but that’s the way tech goes sometimes.…..
