    Samsung Fights VR's Screen Door Effect, Doubles PPI With HMD Odyssey+

    A long time ago now I built the prototype cardboard AR headset - it fitted an iPad as well as an iPhone, and has excellent FOV, suffers only slightly from screen door, has no lodding issues, has no lag issues, and does not use fresnel lenses... and is way more versatile than just about every...

    Pimax 5K+ M2 Pre-Production Headset: Eating GPUs for Breakfast

    And, why did you not test this with a 1080Ti or two, or the RTX clunkers in SLI? Why no SLI?

    Pimax 5K+ M2 Pre-Production Headset: Eating GPUs for Breakfast

    I got better FOV from an essentially zero cost cardboard precursor (yup - precursor!) I cobbled together. Optics better than a PS4pro VR headset. And way more versatile! ALL of the ARVR 'pioneers' are going down the wrong rabbid-hole. Infuriating! Yet strangely satisfying...

    iBase Embeds Ryzen V1000 APU Into Mini-ITX Motherboard

    why can't manuf's put a golden wish page together where ppl vote for features they actually want. Then pricing could be a function of putting the components together divided by some fraction of demand - so that the majority gets what they wishes, and still the long tail can be catered for too...

    Just Buy It: Why Nvidia RTX GPUs Are Worth the Money

    I recently bought a GTX 1080Ti, for AUD$1100... I am very happy with it, though I do remember saying to myself that the next gen is bound to be just around the corner. I blame eBay and amazon, if I were to blame anyone, because they knew that the next gen was imminent and chose to benefit the...

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2 vs. Intel Skylake-X: Battle of the High-End CPUs

    So which ones are vulnerable to the latest threats and fare the best with the remedies (such as they are) Because what is the point of buying a new processor if it is vulnerable to spectre and other hardware exploits?

    Intel Displays 512GB Optane DC Persistent Memory DIMMs

    These NVDIMMS (?) would be great to become the next OS boot drive. Especially for older quad channel motherboards with some spare DIMM slots, but no provision for say 2280 etc nvSSD. But I don't fancy my chances with this even though Intel could sell millions of them - they will want the whole...

    Asus Ends ‘Arez’ AMD Graphics Card Branding

    damn, post went missing - so again: 'Arez' is this purposefully meant to sound like 'arse' as in 'ass'? Why?

    New GeForce Driver Supports ‘D2: Warmind,’ ‘Conan Exiles,’ ‘PoE II: Deadfire’

    I have gone part way to implementing a driver/framework matrix installer. This version of this driver (Tesla, quadro, amd, geforce) for this platform (w10,w7, linuxen, bsd,osx, docker), and this version of that framework (CUDA, cuDNN etc). Turns out it is not that bad, hardware profiles under...

    Community Picks: Most Memorable Game Levels

    wade elementary, do this in a darkened room... gordon and alyx clearing the asylum, just about anything in horizon zero dawn, kicking around the solar system in 4k in IW, lots of others. Wade elementary still makes the ASMR run wild.

    What Is Plex Live TV? What Cord-Cutters Need to Know

    I used to like Plex as a thing until this. They want $5 a month to enable you to stream live tv (free to air tv no less) around your network, and maybe do some PVR/time shifting. Why pay for free to air? You already paid for it by watching the adverts - you want to pay to watch adverts? Just get...
