    NVIDIA Controls AIB Launch and Driver Distribution @ [H]

    Review the cards with whatever drivers are available to regular people, even if those are legacy or generic windows drivers. That would be 100% honest reporting. To save time, maybe do a shorter pre-release review using the best drivers any one of us readers could get? If Nvidia doesn't want...

    Are More Expensive Motherboards Better Motherboards? - [H]

    I've tried to find that "sweet spot" for the 24 years I've been building PCs. Every time I upgrade, I try to find a mobo that not only has the features I want, but which will be robust and long-lasting. Sometimes in the past that has been a bit of a waste, as new technology has driven a...

    Microsoft Is Retiring the Windows Homegroup

    I'd be happy if they just added some more easily configurable basic access controls to the old file sharing workgroup concept. And bring back the easy functionality of the original windows home server. I'm STILL using that, and it works very very well as long as you keep a driver CD or USB...

    Amazon Won't Say If It Hands Echo Data To The Government

    Amazon says... which means it already has but it can't admit it because of anti-terrorism laws.

    Apple Apologizes and Offers $29 Battery Changes

    Nope, I'm a long-time iPhone user/owner and I'm pissed for a few reasons. First, my only reason to buy a new phone has been when I either flat-out break it, or when it gets too slow or when there is truly a new feature that I must have. Right now, both my wife's iPhone 6 and my iPhone 5S are...

    Apple Apologizes and Offers $29 Battery Changes

    I bought my iPhone 5S at the same time my wife bought her iPhone 6. Both our phones now run really slowly even though my battery was tested good at an apple store. Why does she get a cheaper battery and I don't? Not good enough Apple, simply not good enough. Lost a lot of faith and good will...

    Amazon’s Prime Air Drone Makes Its First Demo Delivery in the US

    Anyone else think that the coolest part of the video was the blue origin booster in the background?

    Chrome Crushing It In The Browser Wars While Edge Continues To Sputter

    I don't run edge because it lacks usability functionality of every other browser. I WANT 4 freaking bars on the top of my browser, a URL bar, a bar of open tabs, a bar with old-school drop down menus with text titles not stupid icons that I can't figure out, and a bar stuffed full of all my...

    Official NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Announcement @ [H]

    I'm not close to a typical gamer anymore but I do know that I'll care a lot more about VR when I can slap up a few cameras in my house and wirelessly use something like hololens in any area set up with the correct sensors. VR is cool but I was a USAF fighter pilot for 20 years, so plain-old VR...

    Official NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Announcement @ [H]

    Oh yea that was it! I probably got mine during the same sale since I also bought at best buy LOL. I left the crummy stock cooler on it for a year and when the fan died, the replacement cooler let me bump gpu clocks another couple percent and keep using it. I think I was playing only combat...

    Official NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Announcement @ [H]

    I think people are making a mistake equating the 970 with the 1060 at this point, and that could be tripping people up when they think about lack of SLI on the 1060. Was 960 SLI really a thing for a lot of people? I'm thinking the 1070 is the more appropriate comparison to the 970 on the...

    Official NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Announcement @ [H]

    I forget the name/number of the card that was such a marketing disaster for NVidia at the time... They released an "upgrade" version of a mid-end card with a lower clocked gpu and double but slightly slower ram, that ended up basically having the same amount of ram as their high end card and a...

    Official NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 Announcement @ [H]

    I thought about going with a 970 and later SLI to avoid a total system refresh. Instead we added another kid to the family. I tell you what, 3 kids is more expensive than tri-SLI but the 3D and VR immersion is inescapable :) SLI 970 makes sense to me. SLI 960... maybe but... no. 970 or bust...
