A Look at the NVIDIA Kepler GTX 680
Last Updated on Friday, 23 March 2012 01:01 Written by DarkKnightH20 Friday, 23 March 2012 01:01
It’s that time again. The time where computer hardware advances even further to bring a brand new wave of extreme video cards. The latest? The Kepler GTX 680 by NVIDIA, which will sport a price tag of around $500 using the GK104 architecture.
The card is 10 inches in length so it is big in size, but not the biggest graphics card out there.
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 is compatible with HDMI 1.4a and supports up to a 4-way SLI for a very intense configuration and is rated up to 195w.

*Update* The 55″ and below is now readily available. I will be waiting for the 60″. It shouldn’t be too much longer. Thanks for being patient.
Coming soon. And it will be glorious! *gets wallet out and starts counting pennies*
Don’t wanna wait for my review? Go ahead and preorder it on Amazon with a 30 day price match and return guarantee.
What size am I going to be reviewing? Either the 55″ 60″ or 65″. Whatever I get my hands on first! Oh man… *drool*
Don’t know what I am talking about? Well Samsung released the pricing and details of their new 2012 lineup of TVs. They are just as thin as ever too! And beautiful.

Countdown to Mass Effect 3
Last Updated on Wednesday, 7 March 2012 03:35 Written by servbot_kill Monday, 5 March 2012 05:53
So there’s been a crapload of stuff going around about the upcoming release of Mass Effect 3, but none as crazy as the apparent War of the Worlds-type shit going on at @AllianceNewsNet on Twitter. It just started updating regularly since this morning (a little before noon on the east coast of the USA) with messages ostensibly from reporter Emily Wong, who you might remember helping out on a couple of investigative journalism quests from ME1. Apparently, shit’s gone south in Los Angeles as the Reaper invasion has *just* hit there, and the FTL communications buoy blackout a week before (on Twitter, literally about a week) results in her having to communicate via a consumer-grade (I guess) quantum entanglement communicator that, being crappy and not at all like the Illusive Man’s resources, limits her to Twitter.
This is a social networking campaign in action, folks. Save this for a case study.
Anyways, the latest tweets (as of 5:54 pm EST) detail the intrepid Ms. Wong and a UCLA researcher testing out a Reaper weapon recovered from a corpse. What it is, I don’t know, but are we perhaps talking hints of DLC weaponry already?

Mass Effect 3 Demo Live
Last Updated on Thursday, 16 February 2012 11:39 Written by servbot_kill Tuesday, 14 February 2012 10:20
Unless you’re on a PS3 or 360, the Mass Effect 3 Demo is now live. Experience two levels from the single-player campaign and, if you redeemed an access code bundled with every copy of Battlefield 3, play the much-talked about multiplayer co-op mode now!
Or… wait three days for the early access period to end. See you online, on the 17th!
EDIT: MULTIPLAYER CAME OUT A DAY EARLY. SEE YOU ON… NOW!!!

STOP SOPA / PIPA!
Last Updated on Wednesday, 18 January 2012 03:07 Written by DarkKnightH20 Wednesday, 18 January 2012 02:40
“I am writing to you as a voter in your district. I urge you to vote “no” on cloture for S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act, on Jan. 24th. The PROTECT IP Act is dangerous, ineffective, and short-sighted. It does not deserve floor consideration. I urge my representative to vote “no” on SOPA, the corresponding House bill.
Over coming days you’ll be hearing from the many businesses, advocacy organizations, and ordinary Americans who oppose this legislation because of the myriad ways in which it will stifle free speech and innovation. We hope you’ll take our concerns to heart and oppose this legislation by voting “no” on cloture.”
Here at Geek Montage, we believe that SOPA / PIPA are terrible on so many different levels. Such legislation should not even be remotely considered, but unfortunately this is the type of world we live in. Say NO to SOPA! After all, SOPA is just “soup”.
