Corsair MM800 RGB Polaris Gaming Mouse Pad Review

If you are a serious gamer you know that your gaming surface is very important part of your gaming setup. A mouse pad can make all the different between turning that corner faster, getting that headshot, and overall having a better gaming experience. While mouse pads have remained pretty much the same over the past few years, recently with RGB lighting becoming popular we’ve seen it integrated into mouse pads. Corsair’s implementation is their MM80 RGB Polaris, which is a large mouse pad with RGB lighting around it and you also get an extra USB port to plug in your mouse. Since this is a Corsair product you can fully customize the lighting with Corsair’s CUE software. Let’s jump in and see what this mouse pad is all about!

HP Spectre x360 (2017) Review: A Beautiful And Impressively Quiet Convertible

We could have predicted that HP would refresh its laptop lineup after Intel introduced its 8th Generation Core processor family in mobile form (Kaby Lake Refresh, or Kaby Lake-R, not to be confused with Coffee Lake on the desktop). By extension, our crystal ball, if we had one, would have also told us the new lineup would be faster than the previous generation, especially in multi-threaded applications where upgrading from a dual-core 7th Generation CPU to a quad-core 8th Generation chip would pay the biggest dividends. But what we could not have foreseen is that subtle changes beyond swapping out the engine that drives its systems would add up to an appreciably superior experience.

iiyama G-Master G2730HSU Review

FreeSync in the sub-£200 range. Monitor expert iiyama has been a proponent of releasing lots of monitors equipped with AMD's FreeSync technology. Last year's GE2788HS-B2 offered a 27in screen that came equipped with an FHD resolution and FreeSync compatibility between 55Hz and a maximum 75Hz, all for not much more than £160, and iiyama has seen fit to update the range with a model that is home to incremental improvements. Enter the G2730HSU priced at £170.

NVIDIA Announces Monstrous TITAN V With Volta V100 GPU, 12GB HBM2, 110 TFLOPs Of Compute

NVIDIA is ready to unleash a completely new GPU aimed at researchers and scientists, the TITAN V. The card was fittingly announced at the Conference and Workshop on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS). The new TITAN V is based on the NVIDIA Volta architecture, and with that shift comes a gigantic leap in compute performance with certain workloads. According to the company, the TITAN V’s redesigned Tensor Cores, which feature independent parallel integer and floating-point data paths, help to fuel a whopping 9x uplift in horsepower compared to the TITAN Xp, coming in at a dizzying 110 TFLOPs for Deep Learning workloads. All of that power is packed into the 21.1 billion-transistor GV100 GPU that is manufactured using a TSMC 12nm FFN high-performance process, customized for NVIDIA. Other features of the $2,999 TITAN V include 12GB of HBM2, a new combined L1 data cache, and a shared memory unit. Power efficiency has reportedly been improved as well; NVIDIA is claiming big performance gains, within the same power envelope as Pascal...
