    Since [H] shut down, where do you go for PSU reviews?

    The PSU reviews on [H] were really unparalleled. I'm looking for sites that do quality in-depth PSU reviews. Gimme your best linkage.

    How long have you used your power supply?

    My OG 1st-gen AX850 (the one with the gold lettering on the side) is still going strong in its third system. I bought it fall 2010 and since then have had zero issues. It's still cool and quiet in its current home, an NZXT H400. I hope it never dies.

    What was your least favorite graphics card?

    This is a great thread. The first GPU I ever bought myself as an adult was a GeForce4 Ti4200. About 3 months after I got it, it started producing an error whenever anything 3D was launched. I can't remember the wording but it invoked nv4_disp.dll. I tried for so, so many hours to fix that error...

    Seasonic X-750 750W PSU 10 Year Redux @ [H]

    Simply fascinating. What a great idea for a "review"! Seems these units are the real deal, as [H] as they come. Wonder how my Corsair AX850 (1st gen) would stack up after 8 years..

    ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2070 O8G GAMING Review

    Great review, and I appreciated the Vega 64 being used as a comparison as that's the exact card I've got. A note, Vega pricing has been fluctuating wildly lately, sometimes with very deep discounts. I picked up a Vega 64 (the same Strix OC model you tested with) for $425 USD last month. At that...

    Highlights of the Microsoft HoloLens 2 Presentation at Mobile World Conference

    Mark me. This will absolutely transform workspaces in a decade or so. No more monitors.

    Heads up! Prices have dropped on Vega 56/64

    Also for reference, two of my buds picked up Vega 56 cards today for $440 CAD, which is like $335USD. https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX70282 It's been going in and out of stock, but I can definitely confirm that at least in Canada there are 56 and 64s available for the lowered prices...

    Heads up! Prices have dropped on Vega 56/64

    I've just installed an Asus Strix RX Vega 64 OC that i picked up for $560 CAD. Crazy good deal, and at that price (the same as basic 1070Ti cards and less than the same flavour card as a 2060) it can't be beat. For reference, this is about $425 USD.

    AMD Radeon VII Video Card Review @ [H]

    Does streaming affect VRAM usage, or only system memory?

    Battlefield V NVIDIA Ray Tracing RTX 2060 Performance @ [H]

    Man, the graph at the bottom of page 6... Even 2070 can't hit 60FPS with low DXR @ 1080p.. Forget the 2060. Makes you wonder why anyone would pay $350 for a hobbled card that is memory bottle-necked almost always. As always, fantastic testing and insight from [H].

    Google Says It Is Discontinuing the Chromecast Audio

    If anyone is still on the fence about scooping one of these miraculous little pucks up before they're all gone, here's a very detailed (read: exhaustive) analysis of its output and performance: http://archimago.blogspot.com/2016/02/measurements-google-chromecast-audio_27.html (warning: the...

    Google Says It Is Discontinuing the Chromecast Audio

    Couldn't disagree more. I use mine with a toslink connection to a Schiit DAC but even before I had that it was just 3.5mm into my stereo amp and it sounded amazing. Much, much better than any bluetooth speaker/stereo. Here's a great review from What Hi-Fi that was published shortly after it...

    Google Says It Is Discontinuing the Chromecast Audio

    This is a real bummer. The Chromecast Audio supports really high bitrate streaming, and you can plug it into a stereo/amp via 3.5mm *or* digital optical. I've got the latter going into a DAC, then into my main stereo receiver - It has always sounded incredible for a streaming device. Really sad...

    The Epic Games Store's Latest Freebie Is Super Meat Boy

    That's two quality games so far for the Epic store - really glad to see someone finally taking it to Steam. Also, Hades at $20 CAD is a great game and total value.
