Chuwi HiPad LTE Tablet Review

I?ll admit it: I am a tablet fanatic. I've had several over the years simply for gaming on the go or for the ability to store the Library of Congress in a single small package or to browse some of my favorite internet haunts or to watch my favorite streaming networks. I recently had the opportunity to check out the Chuwi HiPad Tablet PC and put it through its paces over the past couple of weeks. This is our review.

Cooler Master MP860 Dual-Sided RGB Mousepad Review

We've seen RGB-enabled products grow to pretty much anything you can put in your system, to everything that you can put on your desk.  RGB mousepads seem to be popular as they add some extra bling to your setup.  What is interesting about the RGB mousepad we are taking a look at today is that it's best feature has nothing to do with RGB.  The Cooler Master MP860 gaming mousepad is a dual-sided mousepad.  So on one side you have low-friction fabric for fast, speedy mouse action and on the other, you have aluminum for high precision and control.  So depending on the game you are playing you could easily flip the mousepad over to use the surface that best suits your needs.  The RGB on the mousepad just seems like an extra feature, but one that is welcomed.  Let's see what this mousepad is all about!

Corsair Nightsword RGB Performance Tunable Mouse Review

Hey everyone, so the invasion of Corsair mice hits again, this time with some weighty options. On my mousing surface today I have the strikingly named Corsair Nightsword RGB, a right handed mouse which according to the box is Performance Tunable.
Corsair continue to provide products to just about all budgets for PC components and peripherals, this year has seen an aggressive release of multiple product offerings which so far has been very well done. Let’s see if the trend continues…

Crucial P1 1TB Type 2280 SSD Review

The 1TB version of the P1 NVMe SSD definitely offers more performance versus the 500GB model, and can keep the write speeds up for even longer, thanks to more SLC buffer (12GB versus 5GB on the 500GB drive). The increased DDR3 buffer also seems to come into play but expect a visible speed drop when writing large files to the drive. If the drive is operated in mainstream, home computers you won’t observe this limitation, but in production workstations were data changes frequently, the TLC write speed limitation will become more evident.

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Gaming OC 8 GB Graphics Card Review

Last year, NVIDIA introduced their latest Turing based GeForce RTX 20 series graphics cards, which made a complete departure from traditional GPU design and created a hybrid GPU architecture that would include a range of new technologies to power the next-generation immersive gaming experiences

The GeForce RTX 20 series was the enablement of real-time raytracing which is the holy grail of graphics and something NVIDIA took 10 years to perfect. In addition to raytracing, NVIDIA also aimed to place bets on AI which would go on to play a key role in powering features such as DLSS or Deep Learning Super Sampling.

Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super Gaming OC Review

The RTX 2080 SUPER is here at last. Sure, we’ve already tested the stupidly fast RTX 2070 SUPER, and we loved the boosted performance of the RTX 2060 SUPER too. All those links are on the last page of this review, so check them out afterwards. However, now it’s time for the RTX 2080 series to get a big performance boost. We’ve tested the Founders Edition here, and a few others linked below, but how do the AIB cards stack up? Let’s find out with the Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super Gaming OC!

MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio Review

MSI's GeForce RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio is the quietest RTX 2080 Super card we tested today. It not only runs quieter, but also significantly cooler than the competition. MSI still includes an overclock out of the box, and manual overclocking works very well, too.

MSI RTX 2080 SUPER Gaming X Trio Review

It seems MSI is being quite cautious with its factory overclocks of late. A couple weeks ago we reviewed the 2070 SUPER Gaming X Trio and were quite disappointed with its relatively meagre 30MHz factory overclock, but MSI has not pushed the boat out further with this RTX 2080 SUPER Gaming X Trio, as the clock speed again has only been factory overclocked by 30MHz.

Pricing is also interesting, as the £752.99 MSRP is certainly a heck of a lot of money, and it works out at a 13% increase over the £669 MSRP. The 2070 SUPER Gaming X Trio came in at £569, or 20% more than the £475 MSRP – so, in relative terms, this 2080 SUPER model is less of an increase over the MSRP than its 2070 SUPER counterpart.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super Founders Edition Review

Incremental performance improvements. Take the GeForce RTX 2070 Super as an example. It's 15 per cent faster than the non-Super yet the FE card costs $100 less. Enough progress in nine months? You decide.

Performance and pricing of RTX 2060 Super and RTX 2070 Super is old news, yet Nvidia purposely held back reviews of the RTX 2080 Super until today, three weeks on from launch.

Priced at $699 for the Founders Edition model, with partner cards likely costing up to $100 more, depending upon cooling and positioning, let's recap what makes this model 'Super', then evaluate its performance against a bunch of high-end cards.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Founders Edition Review

When it comes to the RTX 2080 SUPER, in the benchmarks I ran, the two additional SM units totaling an extra 128 more Cuda Cores didn't seem to make a whole lot of difference when compared to the overclocked Vanilla model. The advantage is, as stated before, it is now $100 cheaper for essentially an overclocked RTX 2080. Not a bad choice if you are looking to turn up the graphical settings and still achieve that high desired frame rate. Otherwise a AMD RX 5700 XT or a RTX 2070 SUPER might be a better choice depending on your needs.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super Founders Edition Review

NVIDIA swings to the rescue of its $700 price-point, by "Super"-charging the TU104 silicon and giving it the fastest memory solution ever. In our testing, the RTX 2080 Super achieves a 16% lead over the RTX 2070 Super, making it a solid choice for 4K gaming that doesn't break the bank.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Review

Its been a few weeks since RTX 2060 and 2070 SUPER was unveiled. They brought with them some much-needed performance bumps and more importantly price reductions that will make these cards a lot more likely to find their way into new gaming machines. It is no secret that the gaming community has held some disdain with the RTX brand and respective models since launch and the respective pricing, along with the limited RTX content available. Now as more content and DXR support are starting to come to fruition the idea of having DXR enabled hardware is becoming an very enticing proposition.

That leads us today to the newest and highest end of the SUPER series, at least from what has been announced thus far. The RTX 2080 SUPER, this card is meant to take a step ahead of the existing RTX 2080 and even match or beat the king of Pascal, the TITAN Xp. This is from Nvidias claims and I say its about time we dig in and see what the new RTX 2080 SUPER is all about.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super Review

The final member of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX Super-series officially arrives today, the GeForce RTX 2080 Super. In case you missed it, a couple of weeks back, NVIDIA launched the GeForce RTX 2060 Super and RTX 2070 Super, to preemptively zing AMD in the lead-up to the Radeon RX 5700 series launch. The GeForce RTX Super-series will supplant and eventually replace their original, “non-Super” counterparts once availability dries up. At the top and bottom of the stack, however, the GeForce RTX 2060 and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti will remain. It is in the meat of the 20-series where the Supers reside, with the new GeForce RTX 2080 Super we’ll be showing you here today leading the charge...

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Review

It's been the month of SUPER for hardware enthusiasts as NVIDIA has released their refresh of the RTX 20-series line-up. Thus far, we've seen the 2060 SUPER and 2070 SUPER but today marks the release of the top dog in their new, enhanced series, the 2080 SUPER. Replacing the RTX 2080 entirely and coming in $100 cheaper at launch, is it worth buying in for your next gaming PC? Join us as we find out.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super Review

Nivida recently dropped their Super line of RTX cards. The Super line up includes the RTX 2060 Super, RTX 2070 Super, and the RTX 2080 Super. The latter of which we'll be focusing on in this review. Refreshes are not a new concept and manufactures need to keep products, especially new products, in front of the consumer.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super Review

The GeForce RTX 2080 that launched last September was unquestionably fast. But it wasn’t much quicker than the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. More problematic, the Founders Edition model sold for $800, meaning you paid an extra $100 for its slight performance advantage over Nvidia’s previous-gen flagship.

The $699 GeForce RTX 2080 Super tips the scales back in favor of gamers with high-refresh QHD monitors and 4K displays by serving up average frame rates that are 6% higher than GeForce RTX 2080 (and 17% better than GTX 1080 Ti) at a price point that is $100 less expensive than the old 2080 Founders Edition card. It also offers performance that is far ahead of AMD's new Navi-powered Radeon 5700XT, but that's not surprising given that Nvidia's card costs 75% more.

All those links are on the last page of this review, so check them out afterwards. However, now it’s time for the RTX 2080 series to get a big performance boost. The Nvidia RTX 2080 SUPER Founders Edition should set the standard for what to expect from the RTX 2080 SUPER range. It’s Nvidia’s latest gaming monster, and while it’s not expected to topple the RTX 2080 Ti, we think it’s going to get pretty damn close to their flagship. The non-SUPER was no slouch, so this should be pretty special.

Nvidia RTX 2080 SUPER Founders Edition Review

Three weeks ago Nvidia launched their RTX 2060 SUPER and RTX 2070 SUPER and I had the chance to check out both on those in their Founders Edition versions. At the same time, they also announced the RTX 2080 SUPER as well but performance details weren’t released. So while we have been checking out the Founders Edition cards, the new AMD cards, and later the new aftermarket SUPER cards I’ve been waiting to check out the RTX 2080 SUPER. Well, today's the day. I’ve had a little while to put the RTX 2080 SUPER Founders Edition through our test suite and now we can check out what is different with the card and how it performs compared to the old RTX 2080 as well as the 2080 Ti, Radeon VII, and Vega 64. The other SUPER cards had significant performance jumps, will the 2080 SUPER do the same? Let's check it out.

NVIDIA RTX 2080 SUPER Review

The RTX 2080 SUPER isn't designed to revolutionise or introduce anything ground-breaking but will continue the trend we've seen in the other SUPER siblings. So, we expect this GPU to nestle into position above the RTX 2080 and trail the RTX 2080 Ti.

NZXT H510 Elite Mid-Tower Chassis Review

Today we have the launch of the newest in the H series lineage from NZXT. The H series has been the key identifier and brand icon, which cemented NZXT as a brand. I should say that is my opinion, but I stick to it as previous to the H series, NZXT had various cases from the Phantom to the Manta, but nothing that defined NZXT as an identifiable chassis brand. The H Series has always been a blend of form and function. Today the H510 Elite takes that a step further by attempting to keep the H series ease of use while upping the form side of the equation with the addition of a tempered glass front panel. NZXT then highlights this design choice with Aer RGB 2 fans.

RTX 2080 SUPER Review with 40+ Games

The GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is the tenth GPU based on NVIDIA’s Turing architecture, and the Founders Edition (FE) will launch for sale today at $699 which is priced $100 less than the original RTX 2080 FE. This ‘super’ card is an upgraded refresh with the full TU104 chip which is designed to bring more performance for regular and ray traced games.

The upgraded changes made from the original RTX 2080 to the RTX 2080 SUPER are (1) a GDDR6 memory speed upgrade to 15.6Gbps, (2) an additional speed increase to its core, (3) increased cache size, and with (4) two more SM’s enabled. NVIDIA claims that the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER is faster than their former Pascal flagship TITAN Xp, and compared to the original factory overclocked $799 RTX 2080 FE, the new $699 RTX 2080 SUPER is 5% faster – or approximately 10% faster than the reference $699 RTX 2080.

T-Force Vulcan Z DDR4 3200 MHz 16GB Review

The DDR4 memory market is having a bit of a boom at the moment. The extremely high prices of the last few years are now behind us. That means that you can finally start to afford a decent set of memory again without having to remortgage your home.

What does excite me, however, is that the latest TeamGroup memory kit DOESN’T have any RGB lighting. I mean, I’m all for those lovely little lights, but it seems that they’ve been taking priority over any other aspect of the memory kit in recent months. This one though, it’s nice and simple, just some clean, lean and fast memory for your new PC build or upgrades.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super Review

The last two months have been a period of tit-for-tat in the PC video card industry. Both AMD and NVIDIA have been going back and forth, making announcements and launching products as part of a broader restructuring of the mid-range and high-end video card markets in response to the launch of AMD’s Radeon RX 5700 series of video cards. Performance is going up while last-minute maneuvering has brought prices slightly down, all the while the two major players in the GPU space look to solidify their product lineups and secure their competitive edge against their competition.

For all practical purposes, NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 20 Super series has been the company’s response to AMD’s new video cards. A combination of a mid-generation kicker and a product stack realignment to go head-to-head with AMD, the Super cards have given NVIDIA’s product lineup a modest performance boost at almost every level. After launching the first two cards in this sub-series early this month with the GeForce RTX 2070 Super and GeForce RTX 2060 Super, NVIDIA is back again to launch the last (?) of the Super cards: the previously announced GeForce RTX 2080 Super.

ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER AMP Extreme Graphics Card Review

Last week we tested the GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER Mini from ZOTAC, and I have to say, I’m really impressed by its performance, price and of course its compact size. The new SUPER series from Nvidia is quite an impressive range of graphic cards.

Today, we’ll be taking a quick look at the ZOTAC Gaming GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER AMP Extreme. It uses the same Turing architecture from Nvidia but now comes with even more CUDA cores, a total of 3072 as opposed to 2944 CUDA cores found on the original RTX 2080. It also runs at a higher base clock rate of 1650 MHz (original is 1515 MHz), with a factory OC boost clock rate of 1875 Mhz (original boost is 1815 MHz), this gives you a performance boost of 8 Giga Rays/sec. Interestingly, the total memory bus speed has now increased to 15.5Gbps, while keeping the same memory capacity of 8GB of GDDR6 ram. It also uses the same 256-bit memory bus giving you a memory bandwidth of 496 Gb/s.
