AMD EPYC & Radeon Instinct To Power ‘Frontier’ Exascale Supercomputer In 2021
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is so keen on making sure it remains on the top of the supercomputer charts that it’s announced its next one, coming in 2021. The fact we’re hearing about this one already is pretty surprising, since we only learned of the launch of ORNL’s Summit supercomputer last summer.…..
AMD Releases Special Edition 50th Anniversary Ryzen 7 2700X & Radeon VII
On May 1st, AMD is going to turn the big 5-0, and it’s honestly an exciting time for the company. Its CPU business is strong right now, and promises to only get better as soon as Zen 2 releases (this summer). We already know some of what the next micro-architecture from AMD…..
Acronis Expands API Access To Customers Wanting To Integrate Its Services Into Their Own Solutions
Acronis seems to be one of the busiest companies on the planet, constantly expanding and adding new products and features to its portfolio.

Intel Unleashes Full Line Of 9th-gen Core Desktop & Notebook Processors
When Intel debuted its 9th-gen Core series last fall, it left many price-points on the table. Since that time, a couple of more models trickled out, but today ushers in the launch of the rest of the lineup. That even includes Celerons and Pentiums, so no matter your budget, there is a…..

Ubuntu 19.04 Released With 5.0 Linux Kernel And Desktop Improvements
Ubuntu users who like to live on the bleeding-edge should head on over to the official download page and grab the just-released 19.04 iteration. Unlike last April’s 18.04 release, 19.04 ‘Disco Dingo’ isn’t a long-term support release, meaning that you best be prepared to upgrade to 19.10 when it becomes available later…..
OnePlus 7 Pro Rumored To Have 6.6-inch 3200×1800 90Hz Display
Like all of the major smartphone makers, OnePlus has plans to release a 5G model at some point this year, but as much as companies like Qualcomm wish for the 4G to 5G transition to happen overnight, it’s going to take a while before even high-end devices offer the technology as standard. At…..
NVIDIA To Soon Expand Its G-SYNC Compatible List To 24 Monitors
NVIDIA’s driver teams have been keeping busy in 2019 so far, what with a new Creative Ready branch, ray tracing support on Pascal, and G-SYNC support on FreeSync displays. That latter feature surprised a lot of people when NVIDIA announced it during CES, although with only twelve models initially gracing the support…..
Apple & Qualcomm Partner Up For Smartphone 5G While Intel Bows Out
It’s been an interesting week, to say the least. To kick it off, Qualcomm and Apple were going to meet in the courts, and figure out how to proceed in their litigious battle. For a while, both companies were at each other’s throats over patent violations, and as outsiders, it was difficult…..
Cool To Be Square: Cooler Master Releases New Single & Triple Unit RGB Fans
It’s not often we receive a press release that makes us scratch our heads before opening, but when Cooler Master claimed to be releasing some square fans, we felt intrigued. OK… the actual fans are not square; rather, the casing is, giving it a clean aesthetic. Cooler Master is releasing three SKUs…..
Player Ousts City of Heroes Private Server, Leading To Pleas For Preservation
Over the years, NCsoft has released some amazing MMORPG games. Most have since disappeared, while others have gone down the path of becoming pay-to-win nightmares. Sometimes, the games that disappeared did so quickly, like Auto Assault. Other games, like City of Heroes, had a long 8-year run before its publisher decided that it…..
Next-Gen PlayStation To Use AMD CPUs & GPUs, Include New SSD Technologies
Sony’s next-gen PlayStation console has been floating around the rumor mill for a while, but today, we finally get some juicy info straight from Sony’s mouth. It could be argued that the Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro were minor upgrades to their original units, but the next-gen PlayStation is not…..
Updated: There May Be No Zen 2 Support On MSI’s 300-Series AM4 Motherboards
AMD’s desktop processors have long delivered a key feature the competition hasn’t: backwards compatibility. Even with AMD’s old chips that helped drag itself down in the CPU market, newer motherboards didn’t cut out support. Someone with one gen motherboard could probably upgrade to another chip a few generations later without any issue…..
Finding Out What Your Favorite Games Left On The Cutting Room Floor
A couple of nights ago, I decided to play an emulated NES game (Nintendo Entertainment System) on my phone before bed (with the soon-to-be-reviewed SteelSeries Stratus Duo), and I began to wonder what the differences between the rev0 and rev1 versions of the game I wanted to play were. Thinking that kind…..
Intel Reportedly Planning To Release 1-socket Xeon Gold SKUs
Have you noticed that the CPU market has been really interesting lately? It’s true for desktop, and even truer for the enterprise. This is a market that has for a long time skewed itself towards Intel, making it unfathomably difficult to take a chunk out of. AMD’s first-gen EPYC platform brought some serious…..
Maxon Acquires Redshift, And It Shouldn’t Change Much
Maxon surprised the ProViz world earlier this week when it announced its acquisition of Redshift. At the same time, Redshift fans the world over began to worry about what it could mean for their favorite renderer, and likewise, Cinema 4D fans wondered how Redshift integration could change in the future – or…..
Native ARM64 Firefox Comes To Qualcomm Snapdragon Always-on PCs
Qualcomm’s all-day Snapdragon notebooks offer many compelling features for consumers, such as (really) long battery-life, LTE availability, and a full-fledged Windows desktop. Some notebook designs, such as Lenovo’s Yoga C630 WOS, also both look great and offer solid functionality (we’re still craving Thunderbolt, though). One of the biggest challenges Qualcomm has faced…..
NVIDIA Enables Ray Tracing On Pascal GPUs With New Game Ready Driver
Not long ago at GDC 2019, NVIDIA announced that in an upcoming driver release, select non-RTX GPUs would be able to make use of ray tracing technologies through DXR. These GPUs would use normal shaders to ray trace scenes, albeit at much lower fidelity and at the expense of performance. As of…..
AMD Announces 2nd Gen Ryzen Pro Mobile CPUs & New Budget Athlon Pro
Announced today, AMD released its latest refresh of its Ryzen Pro lineup of low-power mobile CPUs, used in commercial and business sectors. These CPUs are in effect the same 2nd generation Ryzen CPUs we saw launched at CES, but with AMDs Pro security co-processor. These new Ryzen Pro CPUs are built around…..
Gaming On Linux Keeps Getting Better With Proton
We’ve focused a fair bit on Linux gaming over the course of Techgage‘s life, but in recent years, we’ve been so distracted with other things that we haven’t dived in to see where things truly stand today. It’s also partly to blame that some games I’ve personally been playing lately still need…..
OctaneRender 2019 Will Support Vulkan On PC & Metal On macOS
We posted an initial look at OctaneRender 2019’s RTX performance last week, and based on the reaction so far, it seems like people are excited about what’s coming. In that post, we mentioned that 2019 would introduce AMD Radeon support through Vulkan, something that led to some questions around the web, and…..
A Quick Look At OctaneRender 2019 RTX Performance
It’s easy to love OTOY. The company not only produces one of the most feature-rich and capable renderers available, OctaneRender, it also develops a relevant benchmark around it, OctaneBench. We’ve been testing with OTOY’s benchmark for a while, most recently in our look at NVIDIA’s Quadro RTX 4000. With the upcoming OctaneRender…..
Gearbox Announces Borderlands 3 & Upgrades To Older Borderlands Titles
At PAX East, held in Boston once again, Gearbox Software managed to captivate both local and remote audiences alike with its announcement of Borderlands 3.

Autodesk Releases 3ds Max 2020, Adds Lots Of Performance & Usability Polish
You didn’t need 2020 vision to know that Autodesk was about to release some new software. 3ds Max 2019 released about this time last year, so without moving too far into the spring, Autodesk has decided to launch the first of its 2020 series of software. It comes in addition to AutoCAD…..
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Due 2020 With NVIDIA RTX
At GDC 2019, there was a surprise announcement that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 has been slated for release sometime in 2020, published by Paradox, and developed by Hardsuit Labs. Being released under Paradox does have quite a silver lining: its openness to modding. That was something that was critical to…..
