INSOMNIA (i-Series) events are the biggest LAN gaming competitions in this part of the world and the next one kicks-off on Friday 12th November, at Newbury Racecourse, for 4 days. KitGuru will be there to investigate. Slowly, but surely, LAN gaming continues to grow. Everyone starts playing against the computer. …

KitGuru's portfolio of investments is as broad as it is eclectic. We monitor the markets and look for bargains. That involves analysing patterns. For example, while roller coasting from quarter to quarter over the past 2 years, AMD has managed to create somewhat steady upward pressure on its stock price. …

With the quarter's results sorted and the threat of AMD's Radeon HD 6850 and 6870 cards dealt with, it seems that nVidia might be pushing for addititional profits over the busy months to follow. KitGuru investigates. With serious presure from competitors, the price of graphics cards almost always goes down. …

Having the world's fastest car is no fun unless you have the right racetrack. If that track does not exist, then you will need to build it. For cars, that means splashing out on a Nürburgring or something similar. With graphic cards, it means having a triple A title that …

To honour the launch of nVidia's 512 stream GTX580, KitGuru has adopted a multi-stream approach to keeping you up to date on all of the information you need to know ahead of next week's launch. We have already processed, shaded, tessellated and output 3 stunning little pixels of need-to-know info …

KitGuru has been scanning the airwaves, intercepting messages all over the place. We have already delivered 2 incisive articles today already on the GTX580, and there are plenty more to come it seems. To be honest, we've seen sieves that retain water longer than Taiwanese contractor can hold a trade …

Blimey, once you post a story on up-coming products, all of your sources in the industry want to get in on the act and the rumour mill goes into overdrive! KitGuru sifts through a ton of BS to bring you the most likely possibilities. The second in our series of …

Each generation of graphic card delivers more than the last. Frame rates are faster, colours clearer and everything is just a little more cinematographic than it was before. But what constitutes a hard launch? Do you need to have product in the market? If so, how much? KitGuru investigates. At …

The BBC has just broadcast a report which tells IT students across the UK that they have made a terrible choice with their studies. Now, several months after getting their exam results, through, IT students find themselves ‘least employable'. KitGuru investigates. As the UK government seems intent on increasing student …

The world of graphics has been a fantastic battleground over the past two months, with launch and counter-launch in quick succession. Our recent Radion HD 6800 reviews have drawn a huge amount of interest and KitGuru has responded by hunting high and low for a cool competition. We believe we …

We have had a firm heads-up from Danny Shapiro, nVidia's Head of Quadro Marketing to say that there may have been one ‘s‘ too many in a recent mailout that his company sent to its channel partners. We believe Danny's explanation and would like to confirm the exact details. You …

Shoppers are lucky. They go into a store, see what they want and buy it. They are safe from having ‘too much knowledge' about what goes on behind the scenes. Sausage eaters are the same. Stick it in your mouth and don't ask. Unfortunately, KitGuru seems to be a hub …

OK, KitGuru is officially shocked. Droping the price of a mainstream card like the GTX460/470 in reaction to AMD's 6850/6870 is perfectly natural and makes good business sense. These are fast moving cards, in a highly competitive market, and the busiest quarter of the year is upon us. Business sales …

Each generation of graphic card is faster than the previous one, but the real question is ‘How much faster?'. KitGuru has been up late at night, drinking with experts and ‘outsiders who claim to be in the know'. We're ready to stick our flag in the ground on Radeon HD …

KitGuru has seen an interview with a Western Digital VP who claimed that the SSD would never seriously impact the sale of hard drives because the cost was so high. The world has spun through space several times since then and now SSD is very affordable. KitGuru puts Steve Hall, …

We've all experienced G-Force, from a casual pulling away at the lights to hitting sudden turbulence when flying. But we can guarantee you that nothing you've ever done will prepare you for the experience of being sat in a tiny plastic chassis and then launched to 240kph in a matter …

KitGuru constantly monitors product pricing across the globe. We do this intelligently – using a smart surveillance system. Early alerts, which we have flagged as ‘strange behaviour' are then checked and re-checked to ensure accuracy. From there, we can extrapolate patterns and understand what is really going on. So how …

We have no idea what this nVidia GT430 product is, it does not seem to have been launched, but – for some reason – it is on sale already for £65. Strange. Could this be the same card as the one KitGuru predicted would be launched on 11th October a …

KitGuru has come across some bold confidence from a British PC company and we're very happy to report it here. You're all familiar with how much time KitGuru spends on leisure activities. We believe that spending half your life sleeping and the other half drinking is about as healthy as …

KitGuru is an old fart who likes nothing better than watching old Metallica videos while munching breakfast and preparing for a day under the radar of the world's leading technology companies. Who knew ? Imagine our surprise this morning when tried to go from Enter Sandman at the Freddie Mercury …

As you know, KitGuru is powered by Multiplay – the world's leading online gaming and LAN event organisation. They're massive, with the ability to host more than 100,000 simultaneous gamers. Big Stuff!  But what many of you may not know is that Multiplay also owns Fileplay. KitGuru sticks in its …

KitGuru believes that 2011 will be one of the most significant in the history of the personal computer. A real inflection point. Bend of the knee type stuff, where the whole market lurches in new directions and many of the old ways are forgotten. Powercolor has been shaking up the …

Back in June, we presented some of the world's first shots of the upcoming Thermaltake Jing cooler. Now, three months later, the product is about to ship in volume and we've got it in our lab early. Before we begin the torture testing, here's a quick look see. After the …

KitGuru spends half its time in bars and the rest passed out in the streets. Luckily, when we have our ears to the ground – that's when we heard the best rumours from a long way off. This being drunk and falling over works well. So what have we heard …

KitGuru recently reported on how Computercenter, one of the world's biggest HP customers, had shunned HP Blade servers for its own data centres. Instead, Computercenter chose newcomer Cisco. Looks like things might be about to get a whole lot worse for HP. As HP is fond of saying, maybe this …

We're surrounded by integrated graphics.   From Blackberries to iPhones, from netbooks to iPads. KitGuru spends more hours in a day using integrated graphics than discrete cards. As users, we represent the elite. The top 5% of users – with serious knowledge, skills and access to as much technology as we …

Harsh? Maybe. But if the battle lines are not drawn, then things will just start to get ridiculous. So what's got KitGuru so hot and bothered on this fine, warm September day? OK. It's Saturday, so we're allowed to stray from the well-trodden path of the tech gods. Out shopping …

Unlike weaker publications, KitGuru has no problem in planting its predictions as solid flags in cyber space. Sure, we stand to be corrected if there are errors, but we have no problem with that as we honestly believe we're right way more times than we're wrong. The latest flag has …

Over the past few months, we've seen several strange things that, alone, probably don't mean anything but, together, might suggest that a very interesting part is about to hit the market. Will nVidia attack the more powerful Radeon cards with a dual chip GTS450 solution? KitGuru dons night vision specs …

KitGuru's earlier shot of the full blooded, desktop Fusion processor got a lot of folks salivating and a few of them spitting bile. For your delight and delictation, we flip it over and shoot it next to something hard and spicy. Phwoah. Life is busy already. With the launch of …
