AMD Ryzen DDR4 Memory Scaling Tests On Linux

This week MSI finally released an updated BIOS for the X370 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM that we've been using for a majority of our Ryzen Linux benchmarks. With that motherboard improving memory compatibility and allowing us to finally run the board at higher DDR4 memory clock frequencies, I've run some fresh AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Ubuntu Linux benchmarks at various memory frequencies.

AMD Ryzen Performance Update Released For Ashes of the Singularity

When the AMD Ryzen 7 platform was released many of the reviews were critical of the 1080P gaming performance on the Ryzen 7 processor series. AMD promised that we would see a series of game and engine updates for the new Ryzen architecture fairly quickly and the first game title to become optimized for Ryzen is Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation! We tested the old build (version 2.10.25624) versus the build that came out tonight (version 2.10.26118) and the differences are huge. Read on to see just how big they are!

Amped Wireless ALLY Plus Whole Home Smart Wi-Fi System Review

The Amped Wireless ALLY Plus Whole Home Smart Wi-Fi System is an impressive approach to setting up a Wi-Fi network that makes it easy to cover your entire house in reliable, high speed access. Setup is easy, and even though my home is much smaller, I am prone to agree that it could cover up to 15,000 square feet. The coverage in the yard was strong and far reaching, which might not be a plus for those in densely packed neighborhoods, but for me it is ideal.

Corsair Gaming K63 Mechanical Keyboard Review

Corsair has long been one of the most popular choices for PC gamers, and given the enormous selection of award-winning and feature packed mechanical gaming keyboards that Corsair has on offer, it's easy to see why. Recently, we took a look at their latest flagship gaming keyboard, the Corsair K95 RGB Platinum, and it was truly epic. However, it may be complete overkill for a lot of people, and if you're in the market for a much more compact, lightweight and focused gaming keyboard, especially for competitive eSports and LAN gaming, then the new K63 looks set to grab your attention.

Intel i7-7700K vs. AMD Ryzen R7 1700 in Gaming

So at the Ryzen launch I took a look at the 1800X and the 1700X and compared them to the Intel i7-6900K and the i7-7700K and I followed that up with the Ryzen R7 1700. Well around that time Intel sent over the i7-7700K, the one I did my previous testing on was a loaner. So rather than cover everything everyone has already seen with the 7700K I wanted to change things up. I posted up on our Facebook asking people what they would like to see compared between the 7700K and the R7 1700 and I ended up with a list of games and someone also mentioned streaming performance. I decided to combine that list with all of the games we already test our video cards with and I put together a big list of games to check out. After a LOT of testing, I’m ready to finally sit down and check out the results. Are you guys ready? I know I am!
