The hottest thing in the SSD universe right now is PCIe-based drives, either those that plug right into a PCIe slot, or an M.2 slot. At CES, we learned that Kingston would be dipping its toes into such waters, with its HyperX Predator. What we knew of the drive at that time…..

It might have taken a little while, but the first NVIDIA G-SYNC competitor is here – and who else to be behind it than AMD? Leveraging adaptive sync abilities made possible by the DisplayPort 1.2a spec, AMD’s ‘FreeSync’ shares the same goals as NVIDIA’s G-SYNC: Reducing (or removing) tearing, freeing you from…..

For forever and a day, Nintendo has said that the world would never see its games on non-Nintendo platforms. That means no Mario, no Donkey Kong, no Zelda on anything but the company’s consoles and handhelds. In a stunning reversal of policy, the company announced that it has joined up with fellow…..

We wrote about NVIDIA’s super-ambitious Drive initiative a few months ago. At that time, all we knew was that at its heart was a pair of Tegra X1 chips working together to enable autonomous operation of a motor vehicle. In fact, after watching the company’s demonstration of the concept, I quipped that…..

Humpy Leftnut (not his real name, though it definitely should be), inspired by the massively popular Humble Bundle, has created his own knock-off charity site in a slightly different fashion. His website, aptly named Hump the Bundle (VERY NSFW), is designed not around games, but pornography that you can purchase and use tissues and batteries…..

There’s always some good stuff to come out of Netflix’s ‘Hack Day’, and last week’s event was no exception. One of the projects tends to stand out from the rest, though, especially if you’re a fan of classic gaming systems. Created by Guy Cirino, Alex Wolfe, and Carenina Motion, ‘DarNES’ lets you watch Netflix…..

To complement the high-end GeForce GTX 970M and 980M mobile GPUs that have been on the market since the fall, NVIDIA has today released a couple of more affordable options: GTX 960M and 950M. As you’d expect, these new GPUs are a fair bit slower than the pre-existing high-end chips, but what’s…..

When WD introduced its updated ‘Re’ line in 2013, it gave the enterprise market a brand-new high-end option – one that offered lots of storage and lots of reliability. When I took at look at the 4TB model, I was left thoroughly impressed – enough to award the drive an Editor’s Choice…..

It’s rare when I want a game quite as badly as I want Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. I consider both the original game and its sequel, 2: Assassins of Kings, to be “amazing”. Part of what helps that is that Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher books translate well to a video game.…..

“When on earth is AMD’s 300 series going to get here?” These days, that’s a popular question. NVIDIA ushered in its latest GeForce generation six months ago, and just last week, it unveiled the ultra high-end TITAN X (our fact-lacked preview). That, coupled with the fact that AMD’s 200 series launched 17 months…..

Apple’s previous MacBook series didn’t have a big focus on thinness, and for the most part, I guess we could have called it standard fare – the “entry” of the MacBook world. When the series was shelved in 2011, it wasn’t clear if it’d ever make a return; or, if it did,…..

Yes – “Valve”, as in the creator of the Half-Life series and Steam platform. At last week’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, OpenGL overlords Khronos announced a new API, called Vulkan. Ultimately, Khronos’ goal is to merge OpenGL and OpenGL ES efforts together, while mimicking some of the goals AMD had with its Mantle API.…..

Back in November, Logitech released its MOBA-targeted G302 Daedalus Prime gaming mouse. Overall, it’s a great-looking rodent from both an aesthetics and features standpoint (one feature being that it’s kept simple), and for its price point of $50, it looks to be a great option for MOBA fans and anyone else that…..
