Magnetic Hard Drive vs. SATA SSD vs. M.2 NVMe

Storage was once the final frontier of PC performance, and the last component to become fully solid state. Today, the latest M.2 SSDs powered by the new NVMe protocol and hooked up via zappy PCIe connections deliver performance that a conventional hard drive wouldn’t recognize. Yet the hard drive isn’t dead. Not when it offers so much capacity for so little money. Meanwhile, the trusty SATA SSD offers a combination of compatibility and speed that’s awfully compelling. Time to find out which storage technology is the best.

Play PC Games On Your Smartphone

We’re not short of options when it comes to streaming games. We’ve talked plenty in these pages about the immensely useful Steam In-Home Streaming, we’ve covered the likes of GameShow and XSplit, which send your games up to Twitch and other online streaming services, and we’ve even looked at ways you can beam console games through your network and play them on your PC. Well, add Remotr to the list. It’s immensely flexible, offering up client apps for smartphones, tablets, and other Windows PCs, happily streaming over cell phone networks if you have the data allocation for it, and it’s incredibly simple to set up and use.Let’s preface this a little, though, with a couple of caveats. Point one: Don’t expect ultra performance or lag-free gaming. Remotr’s solution is quick and very well coded, but it’s not going to be suitable for the twitchiest games, particularly if you’re streaming outside of your local network. It also scales down the quality of streaming (though not the quality of the source game) to meet your network specifications, so if you’re obsessed with uncompressed graphical fidelity, you might be best staying at your home PC.

Go Extreme With Antialiasing

Forget Fair microtransaction models and the magic formula for a successful esports game— these are but flash-in-the-pan challenges the games industry faces currently. For a much longer time, 3D designers were stumped by a far more prosaic problem: how to draw curved and diagonal lines without them appearing like a blocky staircase of pixels.
