If you haven't heard of WIDI before it is a handy little invention by Intel which allows your laptop to stream video and audio to a compatible TV.

CES 2014 had Nvidia PUMPING out 1 billion pixels per second on 3× 50" 4k Displays and Asus Republic of Gamers debuted their first gaming monitor – a great sign of things to come this year!
There are many PC gamers who already blast well past 1920×1080 with multi monitor setups, but some games are better on a single screen – sometimes you want a single screen running 2560×1440 – and yes, hardware permitting you could always run 3 :)
We are taking per-orders now for the first shipment of 27" AOC WQHD Monitors – combining Ultra High Resolultion with a great 5ms refresh rate we can't wait to get gaming!

Something very special is on the way.
The MARS 760 represents Asus Republic of Gamers working closely with Nvidia and together they have enabled the world’s first GTX 760 quad SLI setup – four GPUs in two PCI-Express slots.
The GTX 760 has 1,152 CUDA cores, with two together this gives MARS 2,304: this is Titan territory and along with a GHz+ core clock, it’s even faster than the Titan and 780ti in some games!

How good does ShadowPlay recording look? How much pressure does it put on a system?
We've recorded a quick vid with the Baboon so you know exactly what to expect from this awesome new Nvidia tech! It's so easy to use just like the Elgato Game Capture because it records in the background as you are playing. So you can save your awesome gaming moments without recording absolutely everything :) And all at the push of a button… well two buttons actually – ALT+F10.

One of the hottest cards in the market has landed in New Zealand with Asus flavouring.
The Asus GTX780 Ti is available now at an insane price!
With a boost clock of 928MHz, 3GB of GDDR3 with clock speeds of 7000MHz and a 384-bit memory interface, this is one of the only Gaming Graphics cards that is ready for your 4K gaming needs.

We have just managed to get our hands on this hot little performer from HP.
The HP Envy 15.6" laptop is a real sharp little number. It comes with a fully dedicated NVIDIA GT740M graphics card with 2GB of GDDR3 video ram. Which is perfect for outputting video and games to the beautifully crisp 1920×1080 Full HD screen.
It also comes with a Intel Haswell processor which is set to keep up with anything you need it to do. Base clock sits at a nice, sombre 2.4GHz when you aren't revving it up. And a shuddering 3.4GHz at boost when you need more power!

This card has metaphorically lit a fire under the GPU market.
The hot, hot, hot entry price of the R9 290X has NVIDIA fans second guessing upcoming purchases, and the comprehensive benchmarks that have been popping up all around the place have been testament to the cards performance.
In nearly all instances the card trumped NVIDIA's GTX780. And that is still with the current drivers in beta. We are very excited to see how games optimize themselves against the new AMD tech.

Ever done something so gut wrenchingly epic in a game that you just had to share it with your friends?
Game captures have been a great solution for many years. Being able to relive the moment of victory, or a spectacular accidental stunt that could never be re-created…
But the technology required forward thinking. You had to purchase the hardware, and switch it on before every gaming session.
No longer…
