Overclocking A New CPU? Silicon Lottery Tells You What You Can Expect
Silicon Lottery is a website that sells binned processors for whatever model’s popular, so when people pick one up, they know what to expect for overclocking. In that way, it’s not really a lottery, but it serves a need for those who want to push their hardware to the limit. The website…..
Haas F1 Team Will Use AMD EPYC To Aid Its Vehicle Design Efforts For Next Year’s Formula 1 Season
Since the introduction of its EPYC server processors last summer, AMD has been keen on sending out emails detailing its latest wins and newest partnerships. Admittedly, this has become a little hard to keep track of, which is impressive from the standpoint that this is a first-gen enterprise-grade product. With second-gen EPYC…..
Dell Launches 49-inch Dual Quad-HD Ultrawide & USB-C Monitors
In the tech industry, we expect a fast pace. New CPUs, faster graphics, more memory, faster storage, everything is more and faster. However, the humble monitor is often left behind with the advances. While companies try to push higher resolutions and larger panels, fundamentally they have remained the same for a long…..
Qualcomm’s Newest Chipsets Pave The Way For 10Gbps Wi-Fi In Our Homes
It’s not surprising, but it remains disappointing that 10Gbps Ethernet has taken so long to catch on in the home. The standard 1Gbps connection most of us deal with is about on par with what we’d see from real-world transfer performance out of a mechanical hard drive. SATA SSDs are rated at…..
Crucial Enters The NVMe Arena With New P1 SSD Series
SATA-based SSDs are an easy choice if the option is between one and mechanical storage, but at this point in time, it feels like NVMe has become ubiquitous in this space. If you build a PC today, there’s really no reason not to opt for the faster storage, as long as the…..
We’re Trying To Automate All The Things (Or At Least Our Benchmarking)
As of this moment, Techgage is thirteen-and-a-half years old, which means we’ve been posting performance reviews for about just as long. It seems neat to have been doing this for over a decade, but at the same time, I feel like an idiot for waiting until 2018 before I decided to explore…..
NVIDIA Launches Its Third Turing GeForce: RTX 2070 8GB
NVIDIA has today launched its third Turing-based GeForce GPU, the RTX 2070. As notable as the launch is, it seems to be a quiet one, with NVIDIA itself keeping mum about it on social media (from what I can tell, at least). It’s also a launch that broke tradition and didn’t see…..
Winamp To Receive Minor Update This Week, Major Update Next Year
A couple of weeks ago, I shared news to our social channels of the Internet Archive’s effort to pay homage to the legendary music player Winamp. With “Webamp”, the Archive created a verbatim recreation of the classic Winamp 2.x, and even allows you to set one of 5,000+ equally classic skins that…..
Coming Soon To An Adobe Dimension CC Install Near You: NVIDIA RTX Support
Where content creation is concerned, Adobe is one of the first names to come to most minds. The company’s software portfolio is almost jaw-dropping, and as a newbie, it can seem daunting figuring out which application is used for which purpose. As an experienced Adobe user, chances are that multiple Adobe applications…..
Intel Announces i9-9900K With Soldered TIM & Unlocked 28-Core Xeon
In one of the latest in worst-kept secrets in the tech industry, Intel will be releasing its 9th generation Core-series processors, with the flagship i9-9900K being the first CPU in a very long time, to come with a soldered IHS. It seems competition has finally pushed Intel over the edge and forced…..
Say Goodbye To 802.11ax – Say Hello To Wi-Fi 6
Wireless naming standards are often a trip hazard for those not familiar with the industry. If you don’t keep up with the latest technology, trying to tell the difference between 802.11ac, 802.11n, a/b/g, and soon ax standards, can get pretty complicated. It’s hard to know which is the fastest or latest; letters…..
Luxion Releases KeyShot 8: Introducing Image Styles, Cutaways & Much More
The fine folks at Luxion have just released the next major version of their popular KeyShot design tool, and as a rabid benchmarker, I look forward to diving into 8 very soon. I’ve actually been hunkered down the past couple of weeks working on an automation suite, so I am hoping to…..
Synology’s Single-bay DS119j NAS Priced At Just $99
The market has no shortage of high-end NAS boxes – those with beefy processors, lots of memory, and as we’re seeing more and more, 10Gbps Ethernet. While the high-end is well taken care of though, the low-end side seems to have been largely ignored, and when I say low-end, I mean lower-end…..
Sony Gives Into Fan Pressure, Opens Fortnite Cross-play On PlayStation
In a move that could only be described as “earth-shattering”, Sony has decided to suck things up and let its beloved PlayStation platform finally join in on cross-play Fortnite fun. Up until this point, anyone playing Fortnite on PlayStation were glued to that platform – unless they wanted to create two separate…..
Have Cheat Codes In Single Player Games Been Replaced By In-app Purchases?
If in-app purchases were physical objects, we’d be tripping over them everywhere we went in our daily lives. If we’re talking AAA titles, it’s probably easier to find a game that has them than one that doesn’t. Even games that can barely justify having IAPs can have them – like single player…..
HyperX Releases FURY RGB SATA & Savage Exo Portable USB SSDs
HyperX has today released two new products that both revolve around flash memory but cater to different audiences (or at least use cases). At the forefront is an SSD that we first saw announced by the company earlier this year, and yes, it’s an SSD that has RGBs on tap (as if…..
Possible Upcoming Polaris Radeon Refresh Spotted In Linux Kernel Update
With NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX graphics cards now in the market, heads are once again turning towards AMD – what’s next for big red? Well, it seems pretty obvious that the Radeon team isn’t going to be able to counter Turing GeForce that soon, but it can still compete with Pascal of…..
NCIX & Newegg Prove That Etailers Generally Don’t Care About Customer Protection
This news broke earlier this week, but I feel it’s important enough to make sure that it’s seen by as many eyeballs as possible. It’s a story that highlights just how haphazardly your data can be handled by etail companies, even if there are assurances that security is at the forefront of…..
UL’s 3DMark Gets New Benchmarks For Ray Tracing & Always Connected PCs
3DMark is doing its annual benchmark refresh and moving in the expected direction of including a new ray tracing benchmark, built on top of Microsoft’s DirectX RT API. To cater to more mainstream systems, another new benchmark, Night Raid, will be built around testing integrated graphics processors, low power devices, and always…..
AMD Releases Ryzen 5 2500X & Ryzen 3 2300X CPUs For OEM & SI Partners
In an announcement that came out of nowhere, AMD is announcing the availability of two new CPUs in its second generation Ryzen processors, with the Ryzen 5 2500X and Ryzen 3 2300X. What’s somewhat surprising is that these two chips will be limited to OEM and System Integrators only. The chips in…..
NVIDIA’s GeForce 399.24 Driver Brings Ansel & Highlights To Shadow Of The Tomb Raider
The next Lara Croft-infused adventure comes to us in the form of Shadow of the Tomb Raider on September 14, and based on all that Ubisoft Montreal and Square Enix have shown us, it could prove to be one of the best games in the entire series – and not only because…..
AMD Announces Athlon 200GE APUs & 2nd-Gen Ryzen Pro CPUs
AMD is kicking off its refresh of the now budget branded Athlon CPUs, built around the very successful Zen architecture CPU, and introduces Vega graphics to the package for some gaming on the cheap APUs. On top of this is also the launch of the 2nd generation Ryzen PRO CPUs for businesses.…..
AMD’s 2nd-gen Ryzen Threadripper 2950X Hits Store Shelves Today
It might be a little depressing that we’re leaving summer behind to head into September, but AMD has some good news to lighten the mood: its 2nd-gen Ryzen Threadripper 2950X is now available. As promised, it’s priced at $899, which is $100 less than the 1950X’s original price tag when it launched…..
Lenovo Unveils First Snapdragon 850 Always-on Notebook: 13.3-inch Yoga C630
We’ve talked a lot about Qualcomm’s Snapdragon always-on notebooks in the past, but there’s one word we’re somehow only discovering just now: nomophobia. That’s the fear of being without your mobile device, either because it was plucked from your grasp, or because the battery finally gave up on life. I shouldn’t be…..
Valve Releases Free Version Of CS: GO For Offline Play & GOTV Viewing
In just a couple of weeks, the second Major Counter-Strike: Global Offensive of the year is set to go down in London. This is going to be the first Major to be held by FACEIT, and like before, it follows a 24-team format, and has $1,000,000 up for grabs. Given that this…..
