    GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs. RTX 2080: Which Turing Card is Right for You?

    980 Ti launch price was $650. 1080 Ti $699. 2080 Ti $1,299. Thank GOD Nvidia dealt with those scalpers... Not only is the generational leap average to less than average than before, we are also paying twice as much now compared to before their ridiculous price hikes. God Bless you Nvidia from...

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

    Even if this is the future, you're always stupid to buy the first cards that bring the future. They NEVER last very long and the few games that ran perfectly won't look very good compared to the future ones that will shame them and can't be run on your card. Couple that with Nvidia jumping the...

    HTC Vive Pro Headset Review: A High Bar for Premium VR

    The problem isn't that about offering a premium product. It's just that the Vive Pro IS NOT premium. It's exploitative. Minor improvements for a huge mark up but still the same critical flaws? Yeah, no thanks!

    Best PC Virtual Reality Headsets (Archive)

    Give me a Rift with 2k per eye screens, touch controls and less cumbersome room tracking, for no more than $700, and I'd be quite happy. The Vive's controllers are ghastly compared to the slick touch controls that combine VR purpose with conventional controls perfectly. The accessories for the...

    Final Fantasy XV: Performance Analysis With 10 GPUs

    AMD's focus on consoles? Hardly a focus, more like desperate plea for money. They cut ridiculous deals for those consoles. Meanwhile, Nvidia leapfrogged AMD with the switch and it's a now relatively ancient chipset. Just wait until they put more money into developing Tegra now that it has a much...

    Is ASRock Making Graphics Cards?

    ASRock is a terrible company when it comes to service and they've been increasing their prices every year while offering less value, but mainly their service and customer support is AWFUL. Not the worst but certainly not average, either.

    Corsair Obsidian Series 500D Mid-Tower Case Review

    I don't understand why everyone blows smoke up Corsair's butt when they release anything. Most of it is good but this is categorically not. It's lacking a ton of features, opting for less is more when you can have less while having more as an option. This case is ugly as sin when it's not a...

    Corsair Launches 'World’s Fastest' DDR4 SODIMM 32GB Memory Kit

    If only memory speeds actually mattered anymore... Even with APUs you see less than ten percent increase in frames

    AMD Unveils Zen Microarchitecture, Demos Summit Ridge Performance

    lol pretty funny presentation. Was almost like I was watching an Nvidia one... If only Zen wasn't 2 years too late... Still, maybe someday they'll lead again...

    AMD Zen May Arrive In 2016, But Mass Availability Slated For 2017

    AMD under delivering? Say it aint so! Sure would be nice if they became competitive again but oh well. Least they have their mindlessly adoring fans....

    GTX 1070: Zotac amp extreme or Asus rog strix?

    Avoid Zotac. They're a terrible company for support. Also, they just admitted that they "designed" their 1070/1080 amp extreme's fans to NOT operate at below 30%. So the fans will rev, with the default fan profile no less, until it reaches the need to run at 30% speed unless you manually set it...

    How To Install A Waterblock On A Nvidia GTX 1080

    Dumbest thing to do to this series since they don't Overclock any better on water and they're low heat cards anyway...

    Nvidia GTX 1080, 1070 Display Port Incompatible With Vive HMD

    Normally one could say this is a launch issue or something but I call BS. The cornerstone of this series is that if you're coming from a 980 Ti that you'd still see a massive gain in VR. And they couldn't be bothered to make sure Displayport worked? The superior connection?

    DeepCool Debuts New Liquid Cooled Case, RGB Cooling Fans

    I think it looks far worse than their Genome case. That case looked pretty good and inspired. This just looks like a hackjob at home mod. I wouldn't mind seeing the GENOME case in brushed aluminum, though.

    Platinum Games' 'Scalebound' Heads To PC, Latest Video Showcases Co-op Gameplay

    I would be excited but Microsoft has absolutely zero positive history with managing their digital customers past purchases on PC. Every.Single.Time they do a platform change (GFWL, GFWL Marketplace, MSN Music, Zune, etc.) they screw over existing customers. I have 10 games that I cannot get to...
