AORUS GeForce RTX 2080 Xtreme 8 GB Graphics Card Review

Last month, NVIDIA finally released their GeForce RTX 20 series graphics cards. Taking a complete departure from traditional GPU design and creating a hybrid architecture that includes a range of new technologies to power the next-generation immersive gaming experiences. The key highlight of the GeForce RTX 20 series was the enablement of real-time raytracing which has been the holy grail of graphics and something NVIDIA spent 10 years to perfect.

In addition to raytracing, NVIDIA also aims to place bets on AI which will play a key role in powering features such as DLSS or Deep Learning Super Sampling, a unique way of offering the same quality as the more taxing MSAA AA techniques at twice the performance.

Garmin Vivosmart 4 Review

The $129 band looks better and tracks more than any previous Vivosmart device. Fitness tech companies, particularly Fitbit and Garmin, want to monitor the level of oxygen in your blood. It's a metric that could help spot signs of sleep apnea and other breathing-related problems, so companies have been scrambling to perfect their SpO2 sensors and incorporate this data into their ecosystems in a meaningful way.

Fitbit still hasn't activated its SpO2 monitors in its wearables (although that feature should roll out in beta in November), but Garmin has. Its newest fitness tracker, the $129 Vivosmart 4, includes an SpO2 monitor and measures Body Battery, which lets you know when you should plan your next intense workout session and when you should take a rest day.

SteelSeries Rival 710 Gaming Mouse Review

People that did not have a chance to try out the Rival 700, it is now a good time to give it a go, since it features an updated, proven sensor (SteelSeries TrueMove3), better switches and a modular design. As we have experienced with the Rival 310, Sensei 310 or the Rival 600, the sensor performed great in games such as CS: GO, Diablo III, Bless Online or GTA V. During our testing, we did not encounter any erratic movements and the haptic feedback does help at times, if configured correctly.
