Battlefield 4 Loves High Speed Memory
The folks at Corsair are pretty damn excited about Battlefield 4. Why are they so excited you might ask? Well, if you were seeing performance gains like this from boosting memory speed, I guess you'd be excited too.
The takeaway is that Frostbite Engine 3 is capable of pushing the memory subsystem in ways we hadn't anticipated. Other games are due to be released on Frostbite Engine 3, too, and they're not inconsiderable titles. We're talking about Dragon Age: Inquisition, Mirror's Edge 2, Need for Speed: Rivals, and the next Mass Effect. If you're still running DDR3-1600 and Battlefield 4 or one of these other games is on your radar, now may be the time to upgrade to some faster Vengeance, Vengeance Pro, or Dominator Platinum memory. I don't think 1600MHz is going to cut it anymore, and frankly, I'm kind of excited to see where the technology goes from here.

Microsoft Pulls Problematic Windows RT Update

In place of the update, Microsoft posted an apology for the problem and said it's trying to resolve the situation quickly. The company says it will give updates as soon as possible. It says the problem affected only a limited number of users, some of whom had difficulty downloading the update.

NVIDIA Has Shield 2 In The Works Already?
Engadget got a little one on one time with NVIDIA's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang last week where they learned that, among other things, the company is already working on SHIELD 2.
Beyond discussing last week's big announcements, Huang spoke to Project Logan (aka: the next Tegra chip) and NVIDIA Shield 2 (which may be coming sooner than you'd think); Huang told us he'd love to see Logan powering the next version of Shield as representative hardware ahead of anything else.

Asus R9 270X DirectCU II Top
The gang over at LanOC has taken the Asus R9 270X DirectCU II Top around the block a few times to see what it was made of.
With a price that fits better into budget builds I'm curious how many of the features I saw on the Matrix will carry over into this card. I have high hopes for the card, but after seeing a few R9 270X's from other manufactures I can say without a doubt that Asus has their work cut out for them.

Mark Menacher has filed a small-claims complaint against Apple's CEO Tim Cook in the Superior Court of California in San Diego because he wants iOS7 removed from all of his family's compatible devices.

S2Innovation Axiom Pro PC Case
The Pro-Clockers crew had a lot of nice things to say about the S2Innovation Axiom Pro PC case. The Axiom Pro features the S-Filter triple filtering system we showed you guys last year.
The Axiom Pro is a remarkable case. The engineers at S2Innovation wanted to create a case that stood out for it's creativity and innovation and they did. While I haven't had the Axiom long enough to truly put the S-Filter through its paces, I admit it does trap dust and debris.
