Feel like getting your OC on, but don't have a good reason to? Well, our friends at Gigabyte are giving you that reason, in the form of the "OC Guru Is YOU!" overclocking competition. All you need is a sweet graphics card overclock and achieve the best overall score with 3DMark Vantage, and...

It's known amongst tech enthusiasts that being the first to upgrade will always incorporate some additional level of risk. The problem with brand-new technology (especially that which expands the current envelope) is unforeseen complications that can develop. Or, new limitations that...

According to fellow tech site VR-Zone, Intel's upcoming chipsets to be based around the company's Sandy Bridge processors will be called H67 and P67. The former will be for the affordable segment and the latter for the mainstream. If the "67" moniker is going to be utilized only for Sandy...

By this point in time, I'm sure most are aware of the asinine DRM scheme that Ubisoft employs with Assassin's Creed 2. You might even recall that during the first weekend upon release, the company's servers were DDOS'ed which resulted in no PC gamer being able to play. Being that AC2 is an...

Just to give an update on our GTX 480 article... I didn't manage to get everything done over the weekend, so I'm going to have to publish the article later in the day on Monday. The biggest reason for the delay is that I had to redo some of our GTX 480 testing to verify results and then also...

Logitech G27 - $150 http://bit.ly/95qf36 Not sure how long this will last.

During a press conference today at PAX East, NVIDIA officially launched its first Fermi/GF100-based GeForce GTX 470 and GTX 480 graphics cards. We're still chugging away on our review, but are a bit behind due to some complications that arose during testing (which ironically have little to...

Coming on Monday... stay tuned.

Ahh, glad you got it to work. I am using version 3.14 (pi!) and the sound worked for me no problem. I still had to install the driver I mentioned in the article, but that was to be expected. I'm not sure what issue you had exactly, but at least it's fixed. I highly recommend you check out...

Earlier this month, I urged everyone to avoid purchasing Assassin's Creed 2. The reason had to do with the absurd DRM scheme, one that essentially ruins your gameplay if you A) don't have an Internet connection at the time or B) your Internet connection happens to drop off during gameplay...

Been rather swamped here so I haven't been able to tackle this, but I did get it installed, so I'm going to try to inch through it as the day goes on. With it not finding an audio device at all... that's a bit strange. I should note I also use Linux, so my experience may possibly vary, but we'll...

Earlier this week, I caught an article over at Ars that took a look at the upcoming "music store" that will become a feature in Ubuntu's upcoming "Lucid Lynx" release (10.4 LTS). Essentially, via GNOME's popular Rhythmbox, users will be able to purchase music right through the application...

Sorry, I didn't see your message when it was posted :( This is something I didn't think to look into, but I will soon. Might be worth figuring it out and then writing a news post about it, rather than update the article. This motherboard wasn't the one I used during the article (I just...

How in the heck could I miss that?! Thanks bro ;-)

The advantages of SSDs over traditional hard drives are widely known. Enthusiasts searching for higher levels of performance have long favored combining several slow platter-based drives together in a RAID array to better mask the latency issues, even while increasing overall rear and write...

After EA was paid a visit from an investor, plans for strategic "Premium Downloadable Content" came to light. Analyst Michael Pachter wrote that "PDLC would be sold for $10 or $15 through Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, and would essentially be a very long game demo, along the lines of...

I think it's clear by this point that companies of all stripes are taking this whole "3D" thing very seriously, from display vendors to content producers to even GPU manufacturers like NVIDIA. When thinking of 3D though, most people (rightfully so) picture a huge TV, and possibly some funky...

Earlier this week, we broke the news that OCZ was closing Hypersonic-PC down in order to shift the majority of the company's focus to more important areas. The custom-built PC business just wasn't cutting it, and when we're comparing it to the SSD business, it's easy to understand why...

To help push the tessellation boundaries just a bit further, Unigine has updated its Heaven benchmark to version 2.0 and introduced more robust modes. Alongside the updated Windows client, Unigine has also unveiled a Linux version, so we decided to take it for a spin to see how it both performs...

I think there would be few people who would disagree that advanced physics can really add to the enjoyment of a game, but up to this point, there have been few titles on the market that have pushed the boundaries and really have shown us what robust physics really look like. We have games...
