  Game-themed GPUs are rare these days, often shipping with redesigned boxart and no real changes to the GPU itself, making ASUS' reveal of an Assassin's Creed: Origins themed GPU a very rare occurrence, offering an aesthetic that combined the Eye of ROG with an assortment of Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs to create a unique external aesthetic. Performance-wise this GPU offers the same base/boost clock speeds as the company's existing GTX ROG Strix 1080 Ti, which means that this new GPU will not receive a performance uplift when compared to ASUS' existing models, though the GPU's external aesthetic alone will be able to sway some people towards this copper-colored model. ASUS has only created 500 of these Assassin's Creed Inspired GPUs, making it a collector's item. This GPU will also ship with a free copy of Assassin's Creed Origins, though the pricing of this new GPU model has not been revealed yet.   Functionally this GPU should not offer any performanc...

Bold and Beautiful - CORSAIR Launches New Carbide Series SPEC-04 Tempered Glass Mid-Tower Gaming Case BENGALURU, India - October 27, 2017 CORSAIR®, a world leader in enthusiast memory, PC components and high-performance gaming hardware, today announced the launch of Carbide Series SPEC-04 Tempered Glass mid-tower gaming case. The case combines an angular, hard-edged exterior style with the sophistication of a full tempered glass side panel and excellent cooling potential. "Being a leader in gaming hardware manufacturing, we at Corsair always work closely with our customers, partners and invest in R&D to understand different needs of customers and markets. We believe that being in sync with the demands of our customers through innovative products, premium materials and unique industrial design is the key to success. Our previous cases 570X RGB, 460X RGB & the recently launched Spec 04 were a stupendous success for Corsair in India for the very same reason," said M A Ma...

These coolers will light up your system.   Cooler Master launched a couple of new air coolers today, the MasterAir MA610P and MA410P, both of which feature "aggressive RGB lighting." What exactly does Cooler Master mean by that? The company is referring to how RGB lighting is implemented on these coolers. Specifically, both coolers are compatible with the top RGB motherboards to sync lighting with other hardware. They also come with their own wired RGB controllers with a mode switch button to cycle through six lighting modes, a color switch button, and a brightness button to select from five different brightness levels. More important than the light show is the cooling potential, and in that regard, both coolers make direct contact with the CPU to whisk heat away through heatpipes—there are six of them on the MA610P and four of them on the MA410P. The larger MA610P (little brother to the MasterAir Maker 8) comes with two 120mm MasterFan Air Balance fans out of the box that in...

Corsair Neutron XTi SSD - A game changer or just another flash in the pan!? A Corsair SSD! Yes you heard that right, the high end PC peripheral and memory manufacturer is back in the SSD market. With the Corsair Neutron XTi Corsair has made a come back to the SSD division where it went quite a few years back and no one heard form them ever since their Neutron series SSDs which got a mixed reaction from consumers even though the reviewers and critics loved them. Today thanks to Corsair India I have with me the Corsair Neutron XTi 480GB SSD on the table for review. Coming in capacities ranging from 240GB to 960GB these SSDs are not at all meant for the basic user nor are an entry level storage device instead these are high end SSDs aimed to cater to content producers, developers and even professional gamers and streamers. Using the much tried and trusted Phison S10 controller paired with the Toshiba 15nm Toggle Mode NAND the Neutron XTI 480GB is priced in at $180 or Rs 12,700 in India wh...

This is the smallest GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in the world. Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is certainly big in performance, but it doesn't have to be big in size. Zotac just proved as much with the introduction of its GeForce GTX 1080 Ti ArcticStorm Mini (ZT-P18010H-30P), a pint-sized card for liquid cooled builds where space is at a premium. This is a smaller version of Zotac's GeForce GTX 1080 Ti ArcticStorm (ZT-P10810E-30P), although that card has a 16+2 power phase design that is conducive to overclocking. The factory clockspeeds are the same though—both have a 1,506MHz base clock and 1,620MHz boost clock, up from Nvidia's reference 1,480MHz base and 1,582MHz boost clocks. The miniature card measures just 212mm (8.35 inches) long and 164mm (6.46 inches) high, qualifying as the world's smallest GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, as Zotac is stoked to point out. In addition to being small, the card is also liquid cooled, once you plug it into your liquid cooling setup. It sports a ful...

Now with a quad-core CPU Razer's thin and light Blade Stealth laptop now comes with a bit more power for multitasking and multi-threaded workloads, as it's been upgraded with an 8th generation Core i7-8550U mobile processor based on Intel's newest Coffee Lake architecture. The Core i7-8550U is a 4-core/12-thread chip clocked at 1.8GHz to 4GHz, with 8MB of cache and a 25W TDP. This is an upgrade over the 7th generation dual-core processor options (Core i7-7200U and Core i7-7500U) that previously resided inside the Stealth Blade. In addition to a bit more performance, Razer is touting improved battery life, which it now rates at up to 10 hours. That's 2 hours more than before, at least on paper. "Our engineers have done something truly remarkable with the new Blade Stealth by significantly increasing power while extending battery life," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. "The new Blade Stealth is the most well-rounded Windows laptop out there, an...

This case won't break your piggy bank.   Cooler Master has added another mid-tower chassis to its lineup, one that features multi-zone RGB lighting, an acrylic side panel, and some decent cooling options, including support for liquid coolers. In fact, this is one of the more affordable cases for users who plan to liquid cool their PCs. The new MasterBox MB600L comes three different color trims—red, black, and sliver—and with or without an optical drive bay. Regardless of those options, each version has a brushed front panel, and room enough for up to a 280mm radiator installed up front (up to 50mm thickness, without a fan) if opting for an optical drive, or up to 360mm without an optical drive installed. For air cooling, the options are somewhat limited—the MB600L accommodates up to two 120mm or 140mm fans in the front (up to three 120mm without an ODD) and a single 120mm fan in the back, the latter of which Cooler Master includes. Drive options are pretty sparse as well. There is...
