    Kingston's A2000 NVMe SSDs - Aiming at Sub-SATA SSD Pricing On Toshiba's BiCS4 3D TLC NAND

    That's a good start. Now they need to add a 2 TB model (OK, 1.875 TB) with endurance rating of at least 1,100 TBW and priced below $280. Maybe then I'll get really excited.

    HDPLEX Unveils the 800-Watt DC-ATX Power Brick: Convert Idle PCIe Connectors to Power a Second PC

    The description of the unit and its usage is completely wrong. It's a DC-to-ATX PSU, like the previous models (250W, 300W, 400W), taking a wide range of DC input voltage (16-63V in this model, much wider than the previous models). The main use of these units is in ultra-compact SFF cases, mostly...

    NVIDIA DLSS Test in Final Fantasy XV

    It appears that he last comparison image (the one with the bridges) has DLSS and TXAA mixed up, they should be the other way around - dlss-3.jpg should be txaa-3.jpg and vice-versa. When it comes to badly aliased images (that most games produce) I totally agree. For natural images like quality...

    In Win Intros Compact Series 700W SFX Power Supply

    Looks an awful lot like a rebadged Silverstone SX700-PT, which was shown earlier this year as an engineering sample. It would be weird if it becomes available from their partner (InWin) before it is available from Silverstone. Anyhow, it looks like they're preparing for a release soon.

    Seagate Unveils Industry's Most Advanced 14 TB Data Storage Portfolio

    Strange, I thought that Exos X14 will be the first drive with HAMR and MACH.2 technologies, yet not a single word about them in the PR. And the price is so close to the rest... I guess they're not ready for prime time, and were postponed for future series. Anybody has more up-to-date info about...

    HTC Announces The VIVE Pro VR Headset

    As Lauen mentioned above (beat me to it), the original Vive, as well as the Rift CV1 all use OLED screens, all produced by Samsung, all using PenTile subpixel arrangement. @Kohl Baas, you are missing the fact that VR rendering always need to be higher than the native resolution due to the...

    Magewell Ships the Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus LT

    Actually, it's already happening. Elgato recently released a gamer-oriented 4K60 fps capture card - the Game Capture 4K60 Pro for around 400 USD/EUR. Now let's see what AverMedia will release within their Live Gamer series (4K60fps-wise, I mean). However, these cheaper cards do not support RGB...

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper Delidded - It's EPYC

    Hmm, it seems I've been living with this illusion in my head for so many years :). Thanks for pointing that out. It's maybe the fact that there are some custom copper IHS's for sale out there that made me think that, but on a second glance it appears that their purpose is a bit different...

    AMD Ryzen Threadripper Delidded - It's EPYC

    Is it only me or the IHS is made of copper? The last image shows four holes which they drilled for some reason, and the color of the material resembles copper. If so, this is yet another thing done right (along with the soldering). Man, if it turns out the extra cores are unlockable... Intel is...

    ASUS Radeon HD 5870 Sets GPU Speed Record of 1525 MHz (core)

    Maybe I'm missing something, but why is 1300 MHz effective 4.9 GHz? My math says it should be 5.2 GHz (1300x4=5200). Anyways, nice achievement there :).

    AMD to Give RV770 a Refresh, G200b Counterattack Planned

    I actually doubt we'll see RV790 this year. Latest news about GT200b talk about yet another delay - to February 09 (the inquirer). So probably RV790 cards will come out then (or whenever NV cards do), they don't want to compete against their own cards now :). Yes, most likely.

    AMD Showcases Cinema 2.0, Photo-realism Closer to Developers' Reach

    Old News This is nothing new, it's just being promoted to the world by AMD/ATI now :). Just look at the research of Paul Debevec (one of the creators of LightStage) at his page. You may recognize few of the projects - ATI made a real-time tech demo for 9800 series out of one. And another for...
