Gone are the days of televisions and computer screens that made your films look like they’d rather have been prints on a piece of paper, had less color and depth than shadows on a wall at noon and were rumored to make you go blind if you sat at them for too long (well… the jury is still out on that one).
What the liquid crystal displays (LCD) of today have now that makes them so appealing is…
The way technology has advanced in just the last decade, you wouldn’t be forgiven for buying a laptop and having to stop to ask yourself “What is Thunderbolt 3, and why did this movie need to come free with this computer?”
Thunderbolt, of course, is not a movie. What it is, however, is a type of peripheral device cable, meaning the ones you use to connect one device to another, say, your…
Mouse DPI is a term you have probably come across if you have ever been shopping for a new mouse or looking to upgrade the one you have.
Microsoft made the optical mouse popular during the late 1990s, and even though wireless mice are more popular now, the DPI debate remains a cult issue, especially among gamers.
Mouse DPI describes how sensitive a mouse is; this article explores the concept in…
Within the past decade or so, computers have advanced at an unanticipated rate; and some would argue that computer processors, in particular, have come the farthest. When it comes to developments in processing, most people tend to look at things like frequency and transistors, but an important, and often overlooked, aspect is CPU cache.
So what exactly is CPU cache? What do terms like CPU cache…
Be it the best 4K TV out there, the best gaming monitor or ultra-wide monitor, how can we determine which ones deserve to stand out?
All screens rely on a number of factors that must exist and interact together in a way that ensures the best quality in every situation. Of these, one that’s extremely valuable to understand is the refresh rate. For most of us, what is ‘refresh rate’ is a good…
Sadly, there is no standard way through which you can classify all the various PC Case sizes. Before you decide which PC case to buy, you first need to compare all of the individual case sizes to determine which one of them adequately suits your needs.
As such, we have gone ahead and done a PC case size comparison to help you make the choice before you begin building your own PC.
Different PC Case…
If you have been looking into multi-GPU setups, you are probably already familiar with the AMD CrossFire vs NVIDIA SLI debate. Both of these are technologies that allow two or more GPUs to work together simultaneously.
This article should help you understand how each works and which one might be better for you. Whether or not you actually need a multi-GPU setup is a different story, but we will…
Ask anyone about what they’d consider the best gaming PC out there, and chances are that the answer from those who’ve experienced will be the same: one that you’ve built according to your needs and wants.
Yes, while you can qualitatively rank certain things and components, such as the best gaming motherboard or the best CPU you could utilize, there’s nothing that comes close to building a…
Your keyboard is your point of connection to your computer, and it is thus important to have one that works well with your fingers. Mechanical and membrane keyboards differ not only in how they function fundamentally but also in how they perform for users. Today, we settle the mechanical keyboard vs membrane debate once and for all, by looking at the pros and cons of each type.
What are Membrane…
Hyperthreading both acts and sounds like something out of a 90’s sci-fi film. This article seeks to demystify hyperthreading by defining it, simplifying it, explaining how hyperthreading works and helping you decide if it’s of any use to you, cool and desirable as it may sound.
What Is Hyperthreading?
Simply put, hyperthreading is a technology – that takes advantage of superscalar…
Even if you do not know anything about tech, you have probably still heard about the 32- vs 64-bit debate when it comes to processors. But since 64-bit clearly seems to be dominating modern computing, does the debate even matter and should you care? Keep on reading to find out.
How Do Bits Work Anyway?
For you to better understand the differences between how 32-bit and 64-bit processing works…
Antialiasing is the next big thing in tech – or, at least, it’s a sensationalist way to start off an article, in spite of being pretty much meaningless and untrue. Antialiasing is a very, very powerful tool, however, one that’s often holding up the very structure of a device’s graphics, and that’s no exaggeration.
In this article, you can expect to learn what it is, why it’s needed…
