How to Diagnose and Improve In-game Lag, Latency, and Access Issues

- 7th Sep 2018
- How-To
It is safe to say that PC gaming is vastly different to console gaming. Players on PC have a much greater ability to customize and refine their experience, and the most powerful PCs put consoles to shame in terms of the quality of the experience that they offer. However, with the almost infinite number of […]

- The Falcon
- 5th Sep 2018
- Logical Increments Updates
Greetings! Major Change: The recently-available-for-purchase TR 2950X easily and smoothly replaces the TR 1950X in our Extremist tier. The 1920X stays put till the 2920X get released (rumoured to be in October). If the 2950X has not been released in your country, then the 1950X will remain till it is available.

With the launch of the 2nd-generation Threadripper 2950X, we of course had to look at what would make a balanced PC with this 16-core beast!

I hope you did not miss nVidia’s conference yesterday! Lots of tech/game demos were shown, and lots and LOTS of fancy words (two hours worth) were used to tell us that nVidia is launching the new RTX series of cards.

The Threadripper 2 Launch (a.k.a. AMD Flexes its Muscles)

AMD launched two CPUs today. The first is the 2990WX, a gargantuan 32-core/64-thread CPU $1800 ubermonster that will give every Intel board-member nightmares for the next ~2 years. Yes, you read that right: Thirty-two cores! Barely 2 years ago, a quad-core was the standard, recommended CPU for most people, and this 2990WX behemoth does not […]
The End of the DDR3 Era
- The Falcon
- 12th Aug 2018
- Logical Increments Updates
I cannot claim that DDR3 was my first RAM-love; DDR2 has that honour. Or shame, if you prefer. But DDR3 has a special place in my heart, for it was the only RAM that was available when I built my PC. It was also the only RAM available when Orion and I built our office. […]

In the big wide world of hard drives, SSDs, RAM, VRAM, fancy CPU tech, and more—we felt it was about time to have a bit of a deep dive into data transfer rates. That way, even if you’re working from an example PC build in our main build chart, you’ll know exactly what kind of […]
