Nixeus REVEL Fit

Tech Power Up have been testing out the Nixeus REVEL Fit mouse, and here's a snippet:

Nixeus was established 2009, in Los Angeles, California, and the company specializes in monitors, peripherals, and other consumer electronics. Their first mouse, the REVEL, was released a few years ago, and it was a huge success for the company because it was among the first SteelSeries Sensei-type mice with a low weight and PixArt PMW3360 sensor. Its follow-up product is the REVEL Fit, and I think it will at the very least be as successful as its predecessor. This shell is based on the shape of the legendary Logitech MX500 series. The mouse is not a 1:1 copy as there are major differences, but the shell is relatively similar. It comes with a PMW3360 sensor, Omron switches rated for 20 million clicks, and an all-rubberized, stealthy black surface coating.

MSI Optix MAG27CQ & MSI Optix MPG27CQ 1440p 144Hz Gaming Monitors

Tech Spot have reviewed both the MSI Optix MAG27CQ and the MSI Optix MPG27CQ 1440p 144Hz gaming monitors, and here's a snippet:

Earlier this year, MSI launched the Optix MAG27CQ and MPG27CQ; two monitors that check a lot of boxes on the feature list. They are both 27" curved monitors with 1440p resolutions, FreeSync support, 144Hz refresh rates, and 1ms response times. They also come equipped with gaming focused display features, and the MPG27CQ even has RGB lighting. These monitors appear to be similar on paper although the MAG is considerably less expensive, so let's see how they perform and whether one of them may be a good choice for your next gaming display upgrade.

Since this is a dual review, I'll be going over the differences and similarities between the two models as well as how they perform in games and with color accuracy.

ASUS RoG STRIX RTX 2080 Ti Graphics Card

eTeknix have reviewed the ASUS RoG STRIX RTX 2080 Ti graphics card, and here's a snippet:

The extreme-performance gaming graphics card battle is real. All the big name brands have been pushing to squeeze more performance out of the already impressive RTX 2080 Ti chipset. We recently reviewed our fastest GPU ever, the Aorus RTX 2080 Ti. However, the ASUS RoG STRIX Gaming RTX 2080 Ti has some pretty similar specifications, a high-end cooler, big factory overclocks and more. Has it got what it takes to topple the current leader? Well, let’s find out!

The card features everything you would expect from one of their flagship series gaming cards. It’s already an expensive card anyway, and this factory overclocked model with a big cooler isn’t exactly cheaper. It comes with improved alloy chokes, solid polymer capacitors, improved power stages, fans, and their funky hybrid-fan technology too. Overall, it has was it needs to push those speeds higher.

AVM FRITZ!Box 7530 AC1300 VDSL/ADSL Modem Router

NikkTech have reviewed the AVM FRITZ!Box 7530 AC1300 VDSL/ADSL Modem Router, and here's a snippet:

For good or bad VoIP (Voice over IP) is finally coming to every house in the EU so if you happen to own an old modem/router (At least 3+ years) or if you just want something better than the one your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has provided for you then you may need to spend quite a bit of time looking for a replacement. After market modem/routers (regardless of DSL type) have never really enjoyed the high popularity numbers as "plain" routers and that's the reason as to why most network peripherals manufacturers only have but a few such models in their product lines, if at all that is (since the majority of people have no interest in changing the ISP provided models this isn't surprising). Still just like with every other segment of the market there are some manufacturers that do what most don't and AVM with their FRITZ!Box line of modem/routers is one of them.

SteelSeries Rival 650 Wireless Gaming Mouse

Mad Shrimps have reviewed the SteelSeries Rival 650 Wireless Gaming Mouse and here's a snippet:

We have tested the Rival 650 Wireless in CounterStrike: Global Offensive, Champions of Titan, Destiny 2 but also Command and Conquer: Tiberium Wars -> the comfort level is pretty much identical to the Rival 600 but with the added wireless bonus. The lift-off distance was set at 0.5mm and we have experienced no erratic behavior after no less than two hours of gaming. Thanks to the included lateral programmable buttons, we could access our macros with ease in-game, for increased efficiency.

CyberPower Hyper Liquid RTX Gaming PC

Hardware Heaven have reviewed the CyberPower Hyper Liquid RTX Gaming PC, and here's a snippet:

The CyberPower Hyper Liquid RTX is a gaming PC that throws the kitchen sink at every part of the specification. It doesn’t just have one of Nvidia’s brand-new graphics cards – it’s got a Core i9 processor, too, alongside stunning water-cooling. With a price of £3,199 in the UK and $3,524 for an equivalent Hyper Liquid Alloy Elite system from CyberPower in the US, though, it’s not cheap, and it faces plenty of conventional and strong competitors. Should you buy this for work and play? Find out in our CyberPower Hyper Liquid RTX gaming PC review.

XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy Video Card

Legit Reviews have been taking a look at the XFX Radeon RX 590 Fatboy Video Card, and here's a snippet:

The new Radeon RX 590 has a suggest retail price of $279 and is about 12% faster than the Radeon RX 580. AMD will not be offering a Radeon RX 590 reference design, so each add-in-board company will have their own custom board design to sell. AMD believes that the performance of the RX 590 will appeal to 1080p gamers and that is it priced right. Those in the United States might have to worry about tariffs though in the months ahead and AMD was unable to speculate about how future tariffs may or may not impact pricing. The goal for AMD is to have the Radeon RX 590 on store shelves at $279.
