We’ve had our sample of the AMD Radeon RX 480 since launch day. With the issues around blowing PCIe ports and the promise of drivers to resolve this, we hung back a little and completed our full suite of benchmarks with the later driver, the Crimson 16.7.2 driver. We didn’t have two cards, so the chances of blowing our test motherboards ports are slim, the main difference was the promised performance increases.

We all see the numerous high end GPU reviews and builds, but how do the other half live, the ITX crowd? Either by choice or by necessity, they want something small and powerful, and Sapphire may have just helped those in need.

We are not sure the dust has settled around the latest Nvidia Pascal GPU architecture launch, not even the AMD's new R9 480 graphics card has managed to steal the stage entirely. We remember the original GeForce 256 which replaced the Riva TNT2 and basically started the graphics world you know today. It introduced phrases such as transform and lighting to gaming and advertisements. We loved the Riva TNT2 and Riva 128, Matrox, S3, the Voodoo 3DFX range, Rendition and giving Nvidia a run for its money over the past 17 years, ATI.

This will probably be our last GTX 980 Ti review before the next generation of cards from Nvidia are released. The speculation is they will be named the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 continuing the product naming convention Nvidia have been using for quite a while now. If you forget the GTX Titan cards, out of the budget of most the natural flagship card is the Ti, at least judging by the GTX 980 Ti range and its performance. The production run has now been stopped, and less than a year after it started.

Hardwareslave, like most of the older websites started out of the desire to make amazing rigs, better than anyone else, with the best components in chassis that looked amazing. Of course we are also pro gamers and will dominate everyone with our gaming rigs and our superior skills (cough cough). Ok, we can be owned online like the best of them, but we are part of that very same community that’s now a global empire, but some things never change, like why we do this in the first place and that’s components like a graphics card.

We have the third flagship class graphics card up for review today, and if you have had your head in the sand for about two months, this one is a little different. Previously we tested the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X, the Fury and now the Nano. We didn't really like the Fury X, though we did have a fault with it, and it has been replaced, we will follow the review up with a second part. We then reviewed the Fury, and we liked it, it seemed a lot more focused and graphics card like. Now we have the Nano, and it is nothing like it!

The world of Virtual Reality, or VR to most. It has been offering promises for around three decades and everyone with a passion for VR have been holding their breath for the same amount of time. So now with the new promise of VR in your house, and not only for Air Force or medical simulations, it may be about time to breathe out, or is it? Enter Oculus, from the outside a company and individuals with that passion and possibly holding their breath as well. Deciding to do something about it and not waiting for someone to invent the required technology, they have forged ahead and have been making waves.
