AMD Radeon R9 390X CrossFire Scaling

With the new AMD 300 Series cards there are now VGAs with 8 Gigabyte VRAM and we're curious to find out how CrossFire scaling is going to be after this upgrade. We've tested one and two AMD Radeon R9 390X graphics cards with synthetic benchmarks as well as a selection of no less than 10 recent games.

AMD Radeon R9 Fury X Review

Late last month on June 24th AMD finally released its Fury X graphics card, possibly the most hyped product of 2015. The week prior to that we received some refreshed AMD GPU’s in the form of the Radeon 300 series. Most notably the R9 390X and R9 390, which were architecturally identical to the previous R9 290X/290 in every conceivable way. The only upgrades made included 8GB of faster memory and an ever so slightly higher core clock...

The faster memory offered a reasonable performance boost and certainly helped strengthen the performance of AMD’s high-end GPU’s. The only issue being the price, as the R9 390X currently retails for over $100 more than the R9 290X, and if you are to overclock the 290X you end up with the same performance even in games that use more than 8GB of VRAM.

Anime Expo 2015 – Part 1: Impressions of a Bigger AX

We were a bit surprised to notice the welcoming reception towards our first ever coverage of Anime Expo last year so we’ve brought it back again. Like last year, the Legit Reviews coverage of Anime Expo 2015 is split into three pieces. Two of those are photograph galleries that follow this article where I share my impressions.

Case Mod Friday: Vault Boy

Welcome to another Case Mod Friday showcase! This week we have ciobanulx's “Vault Boy” build. Here is what he had to say about it, "I would like to introduce you to the Vault Boy, a Fallout inspired build! I know the Prodigy has been out for a while now and there have been plenty really nice looking builds in it but I always wanted to build in one and never had the chance until now."

Cyberpower Trinity 300 Review

A gaming rig guaranteed to turn heads. System integrators are always on the lookout for new ways of standing out from the crowd, and what better way to differentiate than with an eye-catching chassis? Deepcool's awesome-looking Tristellar certainly fits the bill, and Cyberpower is one of the first to adopt the unique enclosure as part of its Trinity range of gaming base units.

Priced from £1,049 and available in a choice of Intel or AMD configurations, the Trinity systems offer many of the usual hardware options but do so in a form factor that's a) different to the norm and b) guaranteed to turn heads.

Eachine Slim X3 6000mAh External Battery Power Bank Review

Up for review I’ve got a 6000mAh portable battery pack from Eachine called the X3 or Slim X3. This battery pack is small making it portable but the best part is that it has microUSB and stand USB cables built right into the battery pack itself so you may not even need to carry any cables with you. Overall the X3 battery pack is a great products, read on the learn more…

How to set up your Raspberry Pi in Linux

If you've never used Linux before, don't worry. It's just as easy to use as any other operating system, and in many ways, it's easier. There are no drivers to chase and new applications are always installed through the Linux equivalent of an app store. And, as you're going to be installing and using Linux on your Raspberry Pi, it makes good sense to create your SD card from within a Linux environment.

It doesn't make the installation any better, but it gives you a great opportunity to try it out before plugging in your Raspberry Pi. We recommend Ubuntu, as it's ideal for beginners, but these instructions will work for nearly any other version of Linux – replace the Ubuntu Software Centre with your package manager of choice and ignore the desktop specifics.

Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB Solid State Drive Review

Recently, I took a graduate-level course in Computer Science. Since Computer Science courses are not restricted to Computer Science students only, there was a range of students enrolled in that class, including people from Electrical Engineering and Physics. On the first day of class, it did not take long for me to match some individuals up with their corresponding major. For example, there was a guy that had a relatively large build, had curly hair that did not appear to have been washed for the last little while, wore the same black Megadeth hoodie every day, and rocked a 17" ASUS RoG laptop running World of Warcraft at the back. The only thing he was missing was a can of Mountain Dew, but I quickly guessed he was in Computer Science. I was correct. As you can see here, despite the fact we were taught not to judge a book by its cover, sometimes, stereotypes can be true. It may not tell the entire story, but it frequently provides a decent baseline to understand what is going on around us. About a month ago, we have reviewed the Patriot Ignite 480GB solid state drive based on Phison's S10 controller. The Patriot Ignite showed the Phison S10 is capable of delivering great performance in a mainstream package. Today, we will take a look at yet another Phison S10 based SSD, the Kingston HyperX Savage 240GB. Since we have already tested another device with the same controller, will our stereotype hold true in projecting the performance of the HyperX Savage, or will Kingston bring us surprises? Read on to find out!

MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6 GB

Today we are reviewing MSI's highly anticipated GTX 980 Ti Gaming, which comes with a new TwinFrozr dual-fan cooler. In idle, the fans will completely turn off for the perfect noise-free experience. The card is also highly overclocked reaching the highest performance of any GTX 980 Ti we tested so far.

Samsung SM951 256GB NVMe PCIe SSD Review

Several weeks ago, I had the opportunity to review the Samsung SM951 512GB AHCI PCIe SSD. In the review, I noted that Samsung had originally told us that the SM951 would feature the NVMe protocol, but when it was launched earlier this year, it was only available with support for the AHCI protocol. Turns out, the Samsung SM951...

Visiontek Radeon R9 Fury X 4GB Review

Today we take a somewhat belated look at the latest AMD flagship, the R9 Fury X. This graphics card has been designed to tackle Nvidia in the high end, specifically their similarly priced GTX980 Ti. The Fury X is the first consumer GPU equipped with Stacked High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) – but the big question needs answered … how does it fare against the latest Nvidia solutions?

XFX R9 390X Double Dissipation Review

Today we’ll be looking at XFX’s take on the 390X to see what benefits they can bring to the table. The 390X Double Dissipation graphics card utilises the Ghost 3.0+ thermal design with an all new-GPU heatsink, VRM heatsink and dual-90mm cooling fans.

The 390X is designed for ultra-high resolutions, so later in the review we’ll be putting this card through its paces and also seeing how effective this custom cooled solution responds to some thorough testing.
