My Top 3 Gaming Graphic Cards

Hello guys and welcome back to a new post, and in this post I will tell you my top 3 gaming graphic cards, and some facts about these.

My number 3 is an AMD R9 285 2GB ddr5, because this graphic card has and average benchmark score of 7 out of 10 so this isn't a bad card but I know it can better.
So my number 2 is a Nvidia Geforce GTX 780 3GB ddr5. This is a nice gaming card, this card has a benchmark score of 8.5 out of 10. The most older game pc's are made with this card because this is a really nice card for gaming.
And than at least my number 1 gaming card, the Nvidia Geforce Titan X with a benchmark score of 9.4 out of 10. Why is this my number 1? Just because the power of this graphic card, you don't need a second graphic card for playing games on ultra, and also the clock speed of 1GHz is amazing.  This card has 12GB ddr5 Vram.

This was my top 3 gaming cards. I hope you guys like this post and I hope you will read my next post too.

Is the Lenovo C40 a budget computer or just cheap?

There are a lot of all in one pc’s out there, and when I was browing the web a few days ago I just started researching which all in one pc would be the best for under $500, and let me tell you, there aren’t a lot of them out there but I found one and I really like this pc.

Lets start with the design which is nice. I mean its not high end or anything but its a 500 dollar computer so you can’t expect any metal or something like that. The computer is made from shiny plastic which isn’t a problem for some people but personally I don’t like shiny plastic because its a real fingerprint magnet. The Lenovo C40 has build in sound which is to be expected from an all in one computer, and it has front facing speakers and thats a big con for me because if your listening to music or watching a movie its important that the sound is facing towards you and not away from you. If you want to videochat its not a problem because Skype comes pre-installed and it has an 720p HD webcam up front, so you can Skype with your friends and family on its 21.5” full HD screen.

The specs of this all in one aren’t the best, its useable but you can’t compare it to the iMac. This model uses an Intel Pentium 3825U clocked at 1.9 GHz and it has 2MB of cache the 4GB of RAM is useable, but 8 would be better. Even for the day to day tasks. It uses the intergrated HD Graphics but this pc is not made for gaming so thats all right I think. Windows runs flawlessly on this Lenovo which is to be expected because its still a 500 dollar pc. If you want to game I think its possible, but don’t expect to play GTA V because it isn’t made for gaming. This computer is made for home or business, so actually its made to do your basic stuff on it like e-mailing, text-editing and some web browsing. Light games like Minecraft and League of Legends will work, but I don’t think its a smart idea to play Battlefield on this computer.  

As expected this computer isn’t really great, but for day to day tasks its perfect, and its great for the price. I want to thank you all for reading, and until the next one!

Rode PSA-1 Studio arm

Hello guys and welcome to a new post, and in this post I will tell you guys some things about the Rode PSA-1 Studio arm and ofcourse my opinion about it.

First I will say that I use this Studio arm for a month now, and I love it, it is a real good Studio arm.


Some facts about this studio arm:
horizontal range: 820 mm
vertical range: 840 mm
suitable for microphones from 700 grams to 1.1 kilograms (in combination with a shock mount)


I use this studio arm in combination with a shock mount, and my Devine usb-1 microphone, and it is very stable. So the facts about this arm and about the suitable capacity are real.

So this was a short post, and as I said a post ago I will post more of this short posts because I like it to write a post, but I don't know some subjects to write about.
I hope you like this post.

My top 3 smartphones

Almost everybody has a smartphones these days so today I'm going to write about my top three favourite smartphones. Unfortunately I don't own any of these smartphones but I'm just going to let you know why I like these smartphones so much.

The HTC One M9 is my favourite smartphone. I've always wanted to own an HTC One, and there are a few good reasons why I want to own this beautiful phone. The design of this phone is absolutly georgious with its aluminium and glass body, its just so well made and after holding one myself I completly fell in love with this phone. HTC Sense works flawlessly, you can make and adjust your own themes, and just like any other Android smartphone there are plenty of handy widgets and apps. I really love Blinkfeed, its a really nice touch to HTC Sense. I just love the idea that you can read all of your social media messages in just one swipe. I switched to a HTC One X a few weeks ago, and I really looking forward to upgrade to this phone.

I really love Apple, and I really love iPhones, but my favourite iPhone is the 6S+ . A lot of people hate the iPhone 6S+ because they think its to big to be an iPhone, but I think it really has some cool features. iPad users won't have to carry them around anymore, because the iPhone 6S+ is big enough. I have to admit though, when the iPhone 6+ was released I really hated it. I didn't like the design, and it was to big in my opinion but after seeing some video's about it I really started to love this phone.


This one is going to surprise you, but I really like the Microsoft Lumia 950. I don't like the design, because its made from plastic and its supposed to be a flagship device and compared to the other flagships phone out there the build quality is just bad. I do like Windows 10 mobile, it has some really cool features. You can connect your phone to your computer, and just work on your phone, and I really love cool features like that. Windows 10 mobile has some great potentials in my eyes, it just needs some development, and when I win the lottery or just become really rich this one of the gadgets I want to buy.

Some big changes!

If you look at my post dates you can see that I haven't been posting a lot lately, and I wanted to change that for a long time, but I just was to busy with important stuff. But I'm back. I'm going to post 2 days a week, and I want to post about different things. On Tuesday I am going to post about portable tech so I'm going to post about smartphones, tablets and laptops, and on Friday I'm going to post about computer related stuff like operatings systems or new computers.

I do want to change the name of this blog, because I'm not going to post only about Apple, because I really started to like Windows and Android to. The interface of this blog will be completly different, I don't know how I'm going to do it but the current interface is just messy and its starting to feel really outdated. The biggest change is that I will purchase a domain name for this blog next month, and I'm going to give my blog an completly different name, I have I'm thinking about a few names but I have to see if those names are already taken. This blog will get its own logo as well, I'm going to design it myself and I already started actually.

The reason why I'm going to change a lot about my blog is because I love to write, but I want to publish it so the whole world can see it and I think that almost every content creator out there really get a special feeling if they know that people enjoy their work, and I'm not getting that feeling right now.

Thats all I have to say for now, thanks for reading and until the next one!


Apple Mac Pro 1.1 is it still useable in 2016?

Hello and welcome at another post,

Last week I've purchased a Mac Pro 1.1 and it performs without any problems, at least for my needs but in this post I will let you guys know if its still powerful enough for professional photo and video-editing.

First of lets start with the boot time. The boot time is around one minute, maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less but thats with a standard hard drive. A Mac Pro 1.1 has the support for a SSD but keep in mind that when your owning a Mac Pro or thinking of buying one this Mac doesn't use the most expensive SSD to its full capability. The current model iMac is going to have much faster read and write with the same SSD because of the newer and improved SATA connections. So if you can buy the most speedy SSD on the market for your Mac Pro, but the Mac doesn't even use the maximal capability's why won't you buy something cheaper, and be sure your Mac Pro can get the most out of the product. And to be honest, even with the hard drive the Mac Pro isn't very slow but when your used of using a SSD you really notice the speed difference.

The original graphics card in the original Mac Pro is just crap. The NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT is really outdated by todays standard, and it can barely play GTA IV on low settings with a maximum frame rate of 24 FPS, and GTA IV is a game from 2008. I am using the stock card for now but I'm probably going to upgrade the original card to an AMD Radeon R7 240 with two gigabytes of DDR3 RAM next month, and if you have an older Mac Pro with stock graphics card you are really going to notice the difference in performance, and if you really want to you can even put OS X 10.11 on your Mac Pro. Upgrading from OS X 10.7.5 isn't possible with the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT so if you already own a Mac Pro and you want to upgrade your OS you will have to change your graphics card!

The most current supported operating system for the Mac Pro 1.1 is 10.7.5 Lion, but this can be upgraded with a better graphics card and some more RAM if you have less then 4 gigabytes. OS X Lion is still very useable, and I don't want to upgrade for now because its runs flawlessly on the Mac Pro. A lot of applications are still available for OS X Lion and even for OS X 10.6. But if you own a Mac Pro already and OS X Lion isn't good enough for you your able to upgrade to OS X 10.10 Yosemite or 10.11 El Capitan with some changes to your boot.efi for example.

The Mac Pro 1.1 isn't expensive these days. I've picked mine up for 130 euro's and it came with an Apple keyboard, mouse, OS X Snow Leopard, OS X Lion and the original box and powercable. Its just a very useful computer still to this day, and I won't see myself upgrading soon because it handles everything I throw at it.

This was todays post. Thanks for reading and until the next one!
