AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100 And WX 5100 Workstation Graphics Review: Polaris Goes Pro

AMD initially unveiled the Polaris-based Radeon Pro WX-series of professional workstation graphics cards all the way back in July at SIGGRAPH. Along with the initial announcement, AMD also disclosed that all of the cards would be built and sold by AMD exclusively, that the cards would carry 10-year warranties, and be backed by 24/7 VIP support. The FirePro brand would eventually be phased out as well, with the Radeon Pro moniker taking over as the company's pro graphics branding.

Though the first run of Radeon Pro WX graphics cards are built around the same Polaris 10 and Polaris 11 GPUs as the mainstream Radeon RX 470 and RX 460 products, the Radeon Pro WX 4100 and WX 5100 series cards we'll be looking at here are different animals. Their clocks, coolers, PCB, and memory configurations are different, and because they target the professional workstation market, the amount of qualification the boards and their associated software and drivers go through is significantly more stringent...

AWD-IT Wraith System review (AMD FX-6350)

AWD-IT has delivered a budget gaming PC called Wraith that gets its name from an unlikely source, the cooler on the AMD processor. That’s right, an AMD processor. We have become so used to seeing laptops and PCs with Intel processors that it seems worthwhile emphasising the combination of AMD FX-6350 six-core CPU with 990FX chipset motherboard that runs on DDR3 memory. It seems a little strange that AWD-IT combined this AMD hardware with a GTX 1050 Ti graphics card instead of going for an AMD RX 470.

Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t Case Review

I have been a huge fan of Cooler Master’s MasterCase Series of cases since I first reviewed the original MasterCase 5 almost a year ago. With the MasterCase Series Cooler Master really reinvented themselves brought their cases back into the minds of builders and enthusiasts. The MasterCase Series brought with it a sleek and stylish design, the FreeForm modular system, and a case that was very easy to build in. Today we have Cooler Master’s latest entry in the MasterCase Series, the MasterCase Maker 5t. This case features a 2-tone design, dual tempered glass side panels, an included LED strip, a light & fan controller, and much more! This could be the best MasterCase Chassis yet! Read on as we take a look!

Cooler Master MasterCase Maker 5t Review

Cooler Master’s MasterCase Maker 5t case is the latest flagship mid-tower addition to the company’s MasterCase series.

Cougar Deathfire EX Mouse and Keyboard Bundle Review

Cougar has been creating some truly impressive hardware recently, with award-winning keyboard, mice and headsets being released one after the other. They’ve catered to the high-end and even the budget friendly end of the market in equal amounts, and today we’ll be looking at their Deathfire EX, an affordable mouse and keyboard bundle that looks set to give gamers everything they need at a fair price, with the added bonus of dazzling aesthetics.

RGB lighting is a popular trend and great for customisation, but it’s often the plaything of the higher end hardware. Cougar is countering this by giving the Deathfire EX keyboard and mouse glorious 8-colour LED lighting thrill, yet still keeping the price of the peripheral bundle to around £60, which is exceptional value for money.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Graphics Performance Analysis

The original Deus Ex is widely regarded as a classic which paved the way forward for the stealth genre and illustrated the benefits of non-linear level design. In particular, the freedom to approach objectives using different strategies allows for multiple playthroughs and caters towards players with different skillsets. Sadly, the sequel failed to honour Deus Ex’s legacy due to the clunky AI, dreary story and focus on console development. Many years later, Square Enix decide to revive this iconic series and released Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Initially, people were sceptical and became concerned about a modern take not living up to the franchise’s legacy. Thankfully, Deus Ex: Human Revolution was a stellar title which received glowing comments from the press and gaming community.

In lieu of this success, the publisher forged ahead with another game entitled Deus Ex: Mankind Divided which occurs two years after the events of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The latest entry follows Adam Jenson who has to deal with the Aug incident which caused mechanically augmented humans to become irrationally violent. On launch, the game was praised but some disliked the notion of microtransactions in a full priced release and thought the story could have been longer. From a technical standpoint, the PC edition is fascinating because it’s handled by Nixxes Software. This company has compiled a number of superb PC games including Rise of the Tomb Raider, Thief and much more. Not only that, they added support for the DirectX 12 API in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and continued to enhance the optimisation through post-release patches. Now some time has passed, it seemed the opportune moment to analyse the performance across numerous graphics solutions and compare the numbers when switching between DirectX 11 and DirectX 12.

Portal Self-Optimizing Urban AC2400 WiFi Router

Ignition Design Labs is a new company made up of well-seasoned engineers that have developed eight generations of routers for other companies. They came together for a common purpose, to make WiFi better. They knew from years in the industry that one of the biggest issues with current routers is traffic congestion, which is only getting worse as we stream more and more content. From this revelation they developed Portal and showed their first prototype less than a year ago at CES. Since then they have successfully launched a Kickstarter campaign and fine-tuned the device for full market release, which happened in November of this year. So let's start by taking a look at the specs of the Portal.

Speedlink OMNIVI Review

This is the second optical mouse Speedlink has released recently, and like the Decus Respec that we have viewed recently, the OMNIVI jumps on board with the latest technology and utilises the Pixart 3360 optical sensor. This should inherently provide gamers with high performance, pixel precise tracking with a resolution of up to 12,000DPI.

As with the Decus Respec, we see a return of that lush, metallic red, rubber surface. The OMNIVI seems like it is more targeting MMO gamers with its 10 programmable buttons, including 4 side buttons that includes a sniper and rapid fire option, 2 additional buttons on top (set to control volume by default) as an on-the-fly DPI toggle. Visually the OMNIVI has some extreme shaping, at the bottom is a wide aluminium base plate, which is then shaped with steep sides and swooping curves. To finish it off, it also has some unique LED lighting effects.

Wanhao Duplicator i3 - Budget 3D Printer Review

Over the past few years, the cost of owning a 3D printer has come down sharply – we’re now at a point where an entry level 3D printer like the Wanhao Duplicator i3 v2.1 costs less than £300/$400 (mostly assembled and ready to go). Not so long ago, this would have only managed to buy a DIY kit with less than spectacular results. We purchased this printer a couple of months ago and have thoroughly tested it with different filament types and weeks of printing time... the results have been surprising, especially after some extensive modifications. Read on to find out what we thought.
