4K Gaming PC - October 2017

4K monitors are getting cheaper and cheaper, while their sharpness can't be matched by normal displays. Graphics cards have to render four times as many pixels to drive a 4K display compared to a 'normal' Full HD panel, while the game textures are only getting more detailed. In short: you need real horse power to game in 4K.

A fast processor and especially a graphics card is a must. However, the rest of the configuration needs to be balanced as well. Since many gamers prefer to overclock their PC to improve performance, it is important to choose a motherboard that is suitable for this.

Having the right accessories is equally important. The goal of our 4K Gaming PC is to be able to run virtually all new PC titles on the highest settings. That means high graphics quality settings, a good frame rate, and surround sound. And let’s not forget a good gaming mouse and a decent keyboard with features to enhance your PC gaming experience. Besides that, a nice gaming monitor will also help bring your gaming experience to the next level.

Epson EH-TW9300W home cinema projector review: Between 2K and 4K

Last year we tested the Epson LS10.000, a '4K Enhanced' projector that offers better-than-full-hd image quality, but has a high price tag of more than 6597 pounds / 7200 euros in part because of its laser engine. Since then, Epson made their 4k enhancement technology available in three more affordable models as well, namely the EH-TW7300, EH-TW9300 and EH-TW9300W. With prices that range from 2107 pounds / 2300 euros to 3115 pounds / 3400 euros these are not exactly entry-level projectors either, but for home cinema enthusiasts these are potentially interesting devices especially considering they are HDR-capable. We tested the top model of the series, the EH-TW9300W, which is supplied with an HDMI-transmitter that allows for wireless operation.

G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory Review

The current wave of adding RGB lighting to hardware has reached the memory modules as well. It seemed to be an impossible task for a while, as we have only seen RAM with led lights done once before. Only one colour of lighting was possible on it and you had to connect a separate RGB cable per module. G.Skill have tried to do better and introduced their Trident Z RGB RAM which integrates with the ASUS' Aura Sync.

G.Skill have built up their brand in fast RAM preferred by the overclockers. The kit we are looking at today is also one of the faster modules with clock speeds of 3600MHz with CL16 is all but slow. Once you get the modules out of the box, you need to keep track of the RGB ones amid the regular Trident Z modules. The brushed aluminium heat-spreader is still there, but once you connect it to the motherboard, we see the symmetric beam of rainbow coloured lights.

AMD has been using High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) since the Fiji GPU in 2014. But NVIDIA has stuck with GDDR5 for everything but its General Purpose GPU-oriented Tesla P100. With the launch of the monstrous Quadro GP100, HBM has arrived in the graphics-oriented Quadro range as well.
