TweakTown recently reported that NVidia’s new GeForce lineup will be the NVidia GTX 11 series rather than the 20 series as many have suspected, including us. They claim this was confirmed by sources “in very high places” with TweakTown, and interestingly enough today (the start of GTC) NVidia’s website shows all 10 series cards out of stock. More importantly […]

About a week ago we wrote up a nice article about NVidia’s new GeForce partner program (NVidia GPP for short) and some suspicion surrounding whether or not it’s anti-consumer and anti-competitive. Potentially even illegal. While going through some of my news feeds I noticed something rather unique regarding Radeon, Gigabyte, and NVidia, and it raised some more suspicion for me. […]

There has been a lot of talk among the tech news community lately about NVidia’s GPP (GeForce Partner Program) and whether or not it’s actually bad for consumers. The short truth is, without more data and without reading the actual terms, it’s impossible to know. But the long answer, well it’s a bit more complicated than that. And I certainly […]

Anyone else craving more Ultrawide monitor goodness? Because I know I am! AOC has been in the game of making monitors for a while, but they generally were associated with somewhat cheaply built budget monitors (albeit generally solid panels). More recently they have moved into building higher end, often times Ultrawide, monitors. The rumors from today are no different, AOC […]

EK has been on a roll lately, releasing block after block, even with hardware releases a little lacking so far this year in terms of GPUs. Another one showed up a few days ago from EK, the first ever Titan V full coverage waterblock, and it’s just as beautiful as their other blocks. There are two versions of this full […]

X399 has been around for a while now, and adoption of the new platform has been pretty great in the enthusiast community being so much cheaper than Intel’s X299 platform. But many have felt a lack of support from various companies, especially the likes of EKWB, in terms of accessories as well as waterblocks. Their very own Threadripper CPU block […]

We’ve seen SSDs grow in size over the last few years, everything from 2TB or higher on the consumer end, to 13TB or so on the server end. But this is an entirely new monster from Samsung, a 30TB SSD, yes you read that right! 30TB, and it’s not some massive monster 3.5 inch SSD either, it’s a good old […]

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Google has begun testing its tech to improve 911 location accuracy. The test took place in several states and included tens of thousands of calls. Roughly 50 call centers covering over two million people were covered by this test. This test could be the start of a significant change as carriers have always […]

As we know AMD has generally been good about motherboard chipset and socket compatibility for future products. They release way fewer sockets per any given time period than Intel for their CPUs, the reasoning behind this is to allow people to buy current hardware and have support for future hardware as well. This entices a lot of people to go […]

“Mistake” Intel “mistakenly” listed 2 10nm Cannon Lake CPU parts in a microcode document update. Unfortunately, the reference has, of course, been removed since. Not much was listed in terms of specs other than the fact that they would both be dual-core parts, and one wouldn’t even have an iGPU. This second part is odd to me, I don’t feel there […]

We’ve all done it at one time or another, gone into the Windows Power Plan settings and swapped over to “High Performance” for our desktops or “Balanced” for our battery powered machines. Well now there is a 4th option aside from the previous two mentioned and “Power Saver”, it’s called “Ultimate Performance.” But before we explain what this power plan […]

Anyone here remember the D-Frame Mini from InWin, yeah that’s right, that little thing pictured above. The D-Frame from InWin, just as many of their other chassis, is well known for being one of the more unique PC case series. Starting with the original D-Frame, then the D-Frame 2.0, shortly after that the D-Frame Mini came out, an ITX version. […]
