NCASE M1 EVO Prototype Shown

Image Credit – NCASE This is what I get for taking a vacation! I missed Wahaha360 posting up three pics of the new M1 EVO. It’s been a long road for these pictures to appear, and I’m pleased to see that the new M1 hasn’t lost the design language of the original. Wahaha360 is promising that it will be smaller, have better compatibility, and be built with higher build quality. Based on the photos, it appears the new M1 EVO will come with two USB Type A and two USB Type C ports on the front in a …

Nvidia GeForce GTX 980Ti in 2022. Can It Still Game at Ultra Settings?

In my experience, the GTX 980Ti is one of the best video cards ever produced. It was launched in the middle of 2015 at a now reasonable $649, and was nearly as fast as the Titan X of the time. It packed 6GB of VRAM which gave it lasting performance far longer than the 4GB GTX 980.

Quite frankly, there wasn’t a reason a to upgrade it unless you went for the GTX 1080Ti. However, at 7 years since its …

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 – Can The Once King Still Compete in 2022?

Written by Chris (aka Revenant) We are currently building a database of GPUs, and the very first one tested is the GTX 1080. As the database grows, we thought it would be fun to share some of the test results with you. In May of 2016 Nvidia officially launched their Pascal line of GPUs starting with GTX 1080. It was a step ahead of all the competition, and only got better as the drivers matured. Moreover, it sipped power at only 180 watts, overclocked like a champ, and could be pretty quiet with even the Founders Edition blower cooler. With …

Image Credit – MSI MSI has announced two ATX 3.0 power supplies in the form of the 1000 watt MEG Ai1000P and the 1300 watt MEG Ai1300P.

Metalfish Creates Upcoming Class Action Lawsuit in Case Form

Image Credit – Metal Fish – I try to keep my opinion at bay for the beginning part of news stories but this Metalfish case/tank/disaster is just too much. Somewhere, there is a lawyer already prepping a class action lawsuit. Who’s bright idea was it to put a fish tank…. A FISH TANK….on top of thousands of dollars of PC parts? I’ve owned fish tanks. They’re really good at two things. The first is getting dirty and requiring lots of cleaning. The second is leaking. They leak from seams. They leak from glue. They leak just through evaporation. They …
