    Dell UltraSharp 24 Ultra HD Monitor: The $1300 UP2414Q

    To S3amister: First of all I didn't miss the point of this article. I get monitor resolutions. The point is that 4k is the next gimmick made up by the big TV and monitor manufacturers as the "next big thing" to try to get suckers like you to buy into resolutions that the human eye can't even...

    Dell UltraSharp 24 Ultra HD Monitor: The $1300 UP2414Q

    This is a joke right? Dell making yet another mockery of the monitor market. Why oh why when you can get the latest 10-bit AH-IPS technology in the 2560 x 1600 30" Crossover Black Tune 30x for $700?

    AMD Announces the R9 280 Graphics Card

    It's hilarious to continually hear the argument that somehow the high demand for AMD cards is bad for AMD. What nonsense. Have you people lost your minds? The more people that buy AMD's cards the more money AMD can re-invest in their next gen cards. If it was so bad then why is Nvidia so...

    Intel 8-core Haswell-E Slated For 3Q 2014

    Snooze... Meanwhile the technology has moved to HSA. Sorry Intel. Your days of high priced chicanery have come and gone. Intel starting its downward death spiral. Outdated Fabs producing yesterday's tech

    AMD Questions Nvidia Kepler's DirectX 11.1 Support

    So let's get this straight: Nvidia says it supports the DX 11.1 features that are "useful for gaming", not all DX 11.1 features and AMD says it supports all DX 11.1 features. Assuming both companies are correct with their statements the question remains do the missing DX 11.1 features from...

    AMD Says It Is Not Abandoning Socketed CPUs

    Another advantage of AMD is that they typically keep the same socket form factor through multiple CPU cycles (AM3, AM3+ for example). Personally I see this as a huge advantage over Intel since I can just swap in a new CPU upgrade (Bulldozer for Vishera for example) without having to buy a new...

    People Buying Tablets Instead of Cheap PCs, Says Nvidia

    Nice try Nvidia. Shamelessly flogging the "PC is dead" horse. Sorry but your under-performing Tegra chips are barely good enough for the tablet noobs of today. Future performance requirements for all devices whether tablets or other will leave your inferior ARM copycats behind. As battery...

    MOBO and Power Supply Advice for Build this Weekend

    Hi polsoy, I would recommend going with AMD vs. Intel on price/performance. You simply get ripped off with Intel. I strongly recommend the new AMD Trinity A10 processor for excellent GPU + CPU performance. For what you need (HPTC + light gaming) the AMD A10 Trinity APU is ideal. CPU/GPU...
