Corsair AX and AXi Series Power Supplies Review

ASUS RAIDR Express 240GB PCI-Express SSD review
MSI mainboards look great, have very convenient layout and use only high-quality components. These boards are energy-efficient, fast and work well with default settings.

7990 review: fastest graphics card in the world?
Today marks one of those funky occasions when you've probably been aware of the "new" product we're going to show you for quite some time. And we're not talking about a few days or weeks here either. In fact, it was all the way back in December of 2011, when AMD introduced the original Radeon HD 7970, that we first dropped hints that the dual-GPU p... [PCSTATS]

AMD Radeon HD 7990 Review: Dual GPU Comeback
The benchmarks show that the Radeon HD 7990 is the perfect card for gaming with an EyeFinity setup. In most games the 7990 was powerful enough for even the highest settings in 5760x1080. We have to admit that we were duly impressed by the number of bundled games. Normally it's nothing more than a sidenote, but when you get eight AAA titles, includi... [PCSTATS]

The current generation AMD GPU series collectivelly known as "Southern Islands" were released over a year ago, with the beginning of its rollout in January 2012.

Cooler Master Storm Stryker Case
The Crucial M500 doesn't set any new benchmark records, but that's also not what Crucial set out to do. Nevertheless, the Crucial M500 480 GB is one of the fastest SSDs in this segment. Moreover, the Crucial M500 480 GB has a very competitive price. Crucial has indicated that prices will likely go down even more in the coming weeks and months. And ... [PCSTATS]

Given that the EonNAS Pro 510 is the first Infortrend product we have reviewed there were a lot of totally new things that needed to be tested.

Increase the range of your wireless network
The LG 29EA93-P is the company's first entry into the still nascent category of ultra-wide consumer displays. There remain few options to compete against the 29EA93’s expansive 21:9 aspect ratio, however, LG, Dell and a few others ostensibly believe there’s a market for ultra-wides and I’ll admit -- I think they’re right.

AMD FX-4130 Black Edition Processor Review
It's an impressive feat that ASUS was able to design such a small GeForce GTX 670. It's a smart move, in our opinion, as compact Mini-ITX systems are gaining in popularity.

OCZ Vertex 3.20 240gb SSD

Eminent WiFi Travel Reader and WiFi Travel Router review
Late last year when I reviewed OCZ’s Agility 4 SSD, their Vertex series was still the highest performing model they offered.

Corsair Carbide 200R and Thermaltake Chaser
With DX10's arrival, vertex and pixel shaders maintained a large level of common function, so moving to a unified shader arch eliminated a lot of unnecessary duplication of processing blocks. The first GPU to utilize this architecture was Nvidia's iconic G80.
