    HTC Vive Announces Price of Vive Pro HMD at $799 and Reduces Vive Price to $499

    I would love to upgrade from my Oculus but for some reason a Asus 1080ti costs 1500 bucks...... This may not be the best time to release a high end VR set. Maybe bundle it with a card for 1500.

    I'm upgrading to Zen+ after seeing this. Good bye i7, wonder if Intel is behind this or some former crypto miners looking for a quick buck manipulating AMD stocks.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds 'Miramar' Desert Map Has Been Revealed

    They should probably post screenshots at the graphic settings which allow the game to be playable. I took a break 4 months ago from the game and finally decided to dived back in yesterday. It is still a laggy mess with terrible optimization. Shocking this game hasn't suffered the same fate as KOTK.

    MicroCenter Starts Limiting GPU Orders per Customer

    Here is why I think they did this. People are using scripts and auto buy features to instantly purchase the hardware the second it goes into stock. Since it is completely automated many people are going to actually end up buying these at the insane prices. Depending on how big the operation...

    Editorial AMD's Ryzen Debut: Onwards to the HEDT Market or The Stumbling Hype Train

    Long story short. AMD is now a beast in the workstation department. Gaming still needs work and we will just have to wait and see :(. I kind of want to see where this stands against my i7-4770k.....

    AMD Ryzen XFR Frequencies Revealed

    I always wondered when this type of "tuning" would make it to a CPU. Some newer direct injection vehicles use a similar technique to gain as much power and fuel economy based on the Octane ratio of the fuel. For example some DIT engines will advance timing until knock is heard. Once knock is...

    AMD Releases Radeon Software Crimson ReLive 16.12.2 Beta Drivers

    Would be nice if they fixed the network latency issue's caused by Re-live being installed. For some reason these drivers are causing packet lose on wireless networks. Took me 3 days to identify the issue being the AMD software.
