We talked earlier this week about all that NVIDIA’s R337 GeForce driver for Windows brings to the table, but little did we realize at the time, the Linux R337 driver also got a fair amount of love. At the forefront, the driver adds support for NVIDIA’s latest mobile GPUs, and also takes…..

We’ve long been a fan of Logitech’s livingroom offerings here at Techgage, what with its cool di Novo keyboards to its feature-packed Harmony remotes. With its just-announced K830, it looks like the company wants to keep us hooked, because it looks fantastic. Its full name is “Illuminated Livingroom Keyboard K830“, and that…..

When I caught a quick glance at a “Heartbleed” mention on Tuesday, all I thought was, “Oh great, another vulnerability”. Then, I brushed it off. Of course, now it’s well-known that it’s not just “another vulnerability”; it’s genuinely severe, and one that all server admins need to look into, and potentially deal…..

A leak that hit the Web earlier this week has proven true: Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is in development. I’m not quite sure this could be considered “Borderlands 3″, because just last month, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford said that the company was not actively working on any Borderlands projects. Either he was fibbing, or…..

Despite the time that 10Gbps networking has been around, so far it has failed to catch on in the consumer market, price being the major contributor. While the idea of paying $50 for a Thunderbolt cable will make many baulk, the truth of the matter is 10Gbps Ethernet makes that $50 look…..

It’s been two years since the Raspberry Pi was first released. It started a little rough due to manufacturing delays, but has ultimately taken the world by storm. It would seem that a $25 computer had a market after all. As time has gone by, one question remained in the back of…..

It’s going to be in the running for the worst-kept secret of 2014, but it doesn’t matter: AMD’s Radeon 295X2 is designed to noticed, and incite an enthusiastic response from those who look its way.

The end-of-support date for Windows XP has been no secret, and the build-up to it has been long. But with the date now upon us, we’re being hit with a big dose of nostalgia, thinking back to all that the OS has brought us. The best thing about nostalgia is sharing it,…..

NVIDIA launched its GeForce Experience app last May, and at the time, I wasn’t too sure of what it’d become. From the get-go, it boasted the ability to optimize your games with ease, but past that, I am not sure I realized that NVIDIA would keep piling new features on. Fortunately, it…..

A dashcam might be a simple device, but it’s one that could prove invaluable in the event of an accident – nothing tells the truth quite like video. And as far as dashcams go, Papago! makes some attractive ones, including the P2 Pro we’re taking a look at here. So, let’s take…..

The last time I talked about AOC, it had just released one of the most attractive 27-inch 1080p displays I had seen up to that point (especially where the price was concerned), and now, it’s caught my attention again with its brand-new 144Hz gaming display. At a time when most of us…..

AMD is expected to soon take the veil off of its latest ultra high-end graphics card, the Radeon R9 295 X2, so it’s almost humorous that to preface that, the company has released the lowest-end offering of its current-gen lineup. The model is the Radeon R5 230, and based on its naming alone,…..

Techgage reviewed Cooler Master’s QuickFire Rapid mechanical keyboard more than two years ago, and it impressed us then. Apparently a solidly-built keyboard endowed with Cherry MX switches wasn’t enough for certain segments of the company’s customer base, since they demanded a plank with the same build quality and 10 key-less form factor…..
