Leading up to the Destiny 2 reveal yesterday, I had been holding out hope that despite Bungie’s silence, a PC version of the game would rise to the surface. After looking at the announcement trailer (seen below), I didn’t have much confidence, as the end of the video didn’t reveal platforms at…..

The End Of An Era: Blizzard Renames Battle.net PC Client To ‘Blizzard’
It’s almost hard to believe, but after twenty-one years of faithful service, Blizzard has decided to push the Battle.net name to the shadows. Going forward, the developer’s front-facing PC (Windows, Mac) client encompassing all of its games will simply be called ‘Blizzard’. Blech. It works, but it doesn’t have that same kind…..
Apple Says Recent Leak Of CIA iPhone Exploits Poses No Threat
Earlier this week, whistleblowing website WikiLeaks released a trove of information that detailed CIA efforts to gather information through the use of malware. It also talks about some of the tools the CIA used to break into mobile devices, such as Apple’s iPhone. It’s been a secret to no one that the…..

Meatless Meat That Doesn’t Taste Like Cardboard Could Thrive By Year’s End
Impossible Foods has a task that itself seems impossible: to create fake meat that tastes like real meat. We’ve all heard about the lab-grown meat that’s coming, but this is a bit different. Impossible Foods creates “veggie” burgers, but with an important extra ingredient that helps create a realistic enough burger that…..
Stunning, Small: Corsair’s VR-Ready ONE Gaming PC Boasts Creative Design, Great Aesthetics
Have you ever noticed that Corsair produces a lot of different PC components? We at Techgage sure have. In fact, we’ve often joked in the past with the idea that Corsair should just go ahead and craft its own PC. Well, with the ONE, that’s just what’s happening. The ONE hasn’t been a huge…..
Futuremark Adds Vulkan Support To Its API Overhead Feature Test
Almost exactly two years ago, Futuremark introduced an “API Overhead” feature test as part of its 3DMark suite, and now, it gets a major update. In March 2015, the industry was still scrambling to figure out just how important these low-level APIs were, with DirectX 12 being at the top of most…..
EVGA’s k|ngp|n Overclocks GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Beyond 3GHz
When NVIDIA unveiled its GeForce GTX 1080 Ti to the world a couple of weeks ago, it gave us the big promise of the card being quite the overclocker. I found that to be the case, with excess of 2GHz being possible with the Founders Edition cooler, without touching the voltages. But…..

Star Citizen’s Developers Choose Vulkan Over DirectX 12
I think few would argue the fact that Vulkan is an excellent graphics API, and one that all game developers should consider supporting. Why?

There’s a lot to love about Windows 10. It’s the most advanced version of Microsoft’s OS to date, and I dare say it’s the most attractive, as well. However, with the good comes quite a bit of bad – or, at least “annoyance”. Sure, the entire Windows Update mechanic is more annoying…..
Need More JPEG? Google’s New Guetzli Algorithm Could Cut JPEG Sizes Down By 35%
In case it (somehow) isn’t obvious, Google cares a lot about reducing the size of webpages, and the images on those webpages. On one hand, smaller webpages and images means that both of those things will download quicker, and at the same time, it means that the hosting provider isn’t pushing more…..
Microsoft Blocks Windows 7 & 8.1 Updates On Current Generation AMD & Intel Processors

Linux Benchmarking Gets Even Better With Phoronix Test Suite 7.0
