A few too many times, we’ve heard people say something along the lines of, “If you want more performance, add more RAM!” This is a myth as old as computers. It’s true, having enough RAM is really important. But having more than enough doesn’t improve your computer’s performance.
Updated January 2017, with new Intel CPUs, new SSDs, and better choices for RAM and HDDs. At factory clock speeds, the GTX 1060 claims to be equal to last generation’s GTX 980 in performance, while only sipping 120W of power. All of this at a price of $249!
The youngest of NVIDIA’s new 1000-series family, the GTX 1060, launches today. It is a hard launch, and cards are available for sale, if you can snag one fast enough.

NVIDIA’s GTX 1080 is the most powerful graphics card currently on the market. A single GTX 1080 is capable of achieving smooth game play on highest settings even at 4K resolution. When two cards are paired in SLI, even the most demanding games hit 60 frames at this resolution.

AMD’s new graphics card is made with their new 14nm manufacturing process, setting expectations sky-high. The price is also generously low, and the anticipation levels have been off […]
Logical Increments reader Michael recently put together a brand new video editing and gaming behemoth, which he dubbed the TuffBox. It includes newly released high-end components, with the GTX 1080 and Intel i7-6900K taking starring roles. He wrote up his build story on PCPartPicker and gave us permission to repost on our blog. So, take it […]
We at Logical Increments love helping people build PCs. Many of our team members also love watching professional PC gaming. And now we’ve helped someone from a professional gaming organization build a PC — a video editing PC, to be exact.
New PC hardware releases (and falling prices on older hardware) have caused a lot of small updates to our PC parts recommendations. This update focuses on improving our recommendations in the mid-range tiers. There are a lot of small updates, so let us take them category by category.
We at Logical Increments are softies for a good love story. In our eyes, it really doesn’t get better than this story of the gaming PC our reader Keith just built for his wife, Ashley.
The time has come. The GTX 1070 Founder’s Edition has launched, and it has majorly disrupted our graphics cards recommendations on the Logical Increments parts list.
