ASUS Strix Edition GeForce GTX 970 Graphics Card Review
With the help of Maxwell, NVIDIA has hit a definite home run with its GeForce GTX 900 GPUs. In our look at the GTX 980 last week, we were left thoroughly impressed, but little did we realize at the time, the GTX 970 – and ASUS’ Strix edition in particular – was…..
Corsair Gaming: The Newest Name in eSports
In the world of cars, there are brands, and there are sub-brands. For example, Nissan has Infiniti, Toyota has Lexus, Ford has Lincoln, and Honda has Acura. Things aren’t so different in the world of PC peripherals. For a few years now, companies have sought fit to branch out and create sub-divisions…..
The G-Sync Rollout Continues: Acer and AOC Get In On The Action
When ASUS gave the world its first G-Sync monitor last month, called the Republic of Gamers SWIFT PG278Q, NVIDIA told us that it was just the beginning. As it happens, the company wasn’t lying. Last week, Acer introduced both a 4K and 1080p option, and this week, AOC follows-up with a 1080p…..

Better Late Than Never: ‘Best Playable’ Results Added To Our GTX 980 Review
Due to time, I was unable to get my ‘Best Playable’ testing with NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 980 complete in time for article publishing, so I spent some time over the weekend taking care of that. Admittedly, testing was completed on Friday night, but as I had immediately gotten myself engulfed in other…..
Cooler Master NovaTouch TKL Review – The Keyboard We’ve Been Waiting For
Cooler Master’s no stranger to peripherals; when mechanical switches became the hottest thing overnight, it wasted no time getting into the lab to make sure it created products people yearned for. The company’s just-released NovaTouch TKL highlights that goal, with its “Hybrid Capacitive” switch – one that really, really surprised us. Here…..
A Fine Line Between ‘Inexpensive’ and ‘Cheap’: BitFenix Neos Review
BitFenix’s Neos mid-tower chassis sits at the lowest rung of the company’s chassis product line. As such, it comes in at a very affordable $59.99 – a price that allows anyone to get a piece of the action. But a low price doesn’t always deliver on the “value” aspects we’d hope to…..
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Review: Does Maxwell Bring Maximum Gameplay?
NVIDIA’s next-gen GeForce series is here, and it brings with it a slew of new features and enhancements worth knowing about. Based on Maxwell, the GTX 900 series delivers much-improved performance-per-watt, with the GTX 980 in particular performing better than the 780 Ti – but with a TDP of 85W less. You…..
BitFenix’s Pandora is a Small Chassis that Boasts Big Features
The times, they are a-changin’!

BitFenix is one of those companies that has been very aggressive with the development…..
Logitech Updates Harmony Line to Beef-up its Home Automation Support
Logitech’s Harmony line of products have long been go-to solutions for those who want ultimate control over the devices around their homes, and with the home automation craze at an all-time high, it comes as little surprise that the company is now branching Harmony’s capabilities out even further.

Reminder: NVIDIA’s GAME24 Event Kicks Off Tomorrow Night
Earlier this month, we posted about NVIDIA’s ‘GAME24’ event, one that will celebrate all things PC gaming. Given the timing, it goes without saying that this event will involve NVIDIA’s next-generation graphics cards, and with that, one thing should be obvious: There will be ways to win NVIDIA’s next-generation graphics cards.

Microsoft Brings Wired Xbox One Controller to the PC, Can Convert to Wireless for Xbox One Use
Nearly nine-years-ago, I posted an in-depth look at using the Xbox 360 controller on the PC, and ever since then, it’s remained my gamepad of choice. Well – at some point I did move over to a wireless version of the same pad, but in all that time, no other controller could…..
Ubisoft’s The Crew Spotted Running At An Official 60 FPS
It might not be a game that tops most people’s list this holiday season, but for me, there’s been no game slated for release this year that I’ve wanted quite as much as The Crew. When Test Drive Unlimited 2 came out, it took little time for me to become a massive…..
Logitech’s New G910 Orion Spark: The World’s Most Advanced Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
All too often, gaming peripheral manufacturers resort to hyperbole when they introduce their latest and greatest products.

NVIDIA Opens Pre-orders for LTE-equipped 32GB SHIELD Tablet

Small But Mighty – Phanteks Launches the Enthoo Evolv
The first time that I remember hearing the name Phanteks was when the company released the gigantic Enthoo Primo full tower chassis. Since then there has been the Enthoo Luxe and Enthoo Pro, but today things are going in reverse with the announcement of the Enthoo Evolv. With support for mini-ITX/micro-ATX motherboards,…..
Acronis True Image 2015 Brings Overhauled Interface, Huge Focus On Simplicity
At some point between the release of Acronis’ True Image 2014 and the past month, the company overhauled its corporate image. Not only was its official website given a fresh coat of paint, but its logo was updated, as well. While the double-lined “A” in Acronis’ updated logo does little for me, the…..
An Unblockable Deal: Microsoft Purchases Minecraft Creator Mojang for $2.5 Billion
With the incredible success that developer Mojang has seen with Minecraft, it was inevitable that some company would want to snatch it up. If I were asked long ago which company I’d think it’d be, I never would have answered “Microsoft” – yet, here we are. Mojang was so valuable to Microsoft, in…..

California: First US State to Top 100K Electric/Hybrid Vehicle Sales
August is usually the hottest month of the California summer season. Perhaps appropriately, sales of electric/hybrid vehicles topped the 100 thousand mark sometime that month, demonstrating that interest in these types of vehicles is likewise heating up. According to the chairwoman of the California Air Resources Board, Mary Nichols, “We’ve clearly gotten…..
Lightning Connector Headphones – First From Phillips – Not Apple
In an impressive “beat to the punch”, Phillips has announced that it will launch high-end headphones that will sport the proprietary-to-Apple-devices Lightning connector on its new line of headphones.

How Low Should You Go? ASUS Radeon R7 250X Graphics Card Review
After we were done benchmarking AMD’s $110 Radeon R7 260 last winter, we were impressed enough to call it a “console killer” (thanks in part to the ‘next-gen’ consoles having been released not soon before). Will we be able to say the same thing about the R7 250X, a model a mere…..
