ArcheAge Fateweaver: Leveling Build


This one I based off of the Lawbringer build I made for Rift. The Rift devs were actually cool enough to add it as a preset and give me credit. So I figured I'd try to remake it for AA to be bad ass in. This build is Sorcery, Witchcraft, and Songcraft. Basically used for leveling and dungeons if you want. But once you're 50 better options are out there for you. The class is named Lamentor. But I don't agree with that name. The class combination seems more like the character should be a Fate. Which are known as Magicians, Singers, and witches. Actually what the class combo is.

Gigabyte Aims Shrink Ray at Maxwell, Ends Up with a Mini ITX GeForce GTX 970

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 12:27 PM PDT

Gigabyte Mini ITX GeForce GTX 970Tiny graphics card packs a Maxwell-sized bite

It's not the size of the graphics card that matters, but the potency of the GPU inside, right? We'll find out when we get our hands on Gigabyte's mini ITX variant of the GeForce GTX 970 (GV-N970IXOC-4GD). Though it's tiny by comparison to a full size GeForce GTX 970 video card, Gigabyte's mini ITX version is actually overclocked to run at a base clockspeed of 1076MHz and a boost clockspeed of 1216MHz.

Nvidia's reference design calls for a 1051MHz base clockspeed and 1178MHz boost clockspeed. Granted, Gigabyte's overclock isn't anything crazy, but considering the size of the card, even just running at stock clocks would have been noteworthy.

According to TomsHardware, the cooler is likely based on Gigabyte's WindForce 3X design, except that it only has one fan instead of three. There's an aluminum fin arry underneath, along with a Triangle Cool design to manipulate airflow more effectively.

Apparently it works -- Gigabyte claims the card ran at 62C during a Metro Last Light benchmark, compared to a reference card running at 76C in the same test. That kind of cooling potential bodes well for a mini ITX system that's short on space with limited airflow.

Gigabyte has priced the card at $330 and will start shipping it next month.

Cooler Master Updates Liquid Cooling Line with Nepton 120XL and 240M Coolers

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 11:57 AM PDT

Cooler Master 240MTwo new closed-loop water coolers

Cooler Master's been hard at work updating its liquid cooling line, and what the company came up with is the Nepton 120XL and Nepton 240M. These are the newest additions to the Nepton family of closed-loop water coolers, and what they bring to the table are new fan designs. They use Silencio FP 120 fans to deliver high-pressure performance at lower noise levels than their predecessors.

The radiator block sizes are also different. Whereas the Nepton 280L and 140XL use 280mm and 140mm radiators, respectively, the new Nepton 240M and 120XL use 240mm and 120mm radiators, respectively.

Other features include a microchannel waterblock along with thicker and more durable FEP tubing that Cooler Master claims has a lower coolant evaporation rate than before. Like the previous models, these are pre-filled at the factory and pressure tested so that you don't have to worry about maintenance.

No word yet on price or availability, though as a point of reference, the previous generation Nepton 280L streets for around $120 and the 140XL for $100.

Nvidia GeForce 344.48 WHQL Driver Now Available to Download

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 09:10 AM PDT

Nvidia GeForce GPUNew driver release brings Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) to Kepler and Fermi

Nvidia today made available its "Game Ready" GeForce 344.48 WHQL driver, which among other things brings support for Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) to desktop graphics cards based on the company's Kepler and Fermi architectures. DSR is a featured that was rolled out with Nvidia's Maxwell launch, and what it does is render games at a higher, more detail resolution and then shrinks them down to the resolution of your monitor.

The GPU maker's bold claim is that DSR can give you 4K (3840x2160) quality graphics on any screen, including your Full HD 1080p (1920x1080) panel.

"Enthusiasts with compatible monitors and technical know-how refer to this process as Downsampling or Super Sampling. DSR drastically improves upon this process by applying a high-quality filter specifically designed for the task," Nvidia explains. "DSR also makes the process simpler with on/off integration built directly into GeForce Experience and it's compatible with all monitors, removes the need for technical know-how, and is integrated into GeForce Experience's Optimal Playable Settings."

You can view a demonstration of this technology here -- drag the slider left and right to see how DSR affects the visual quality of the grass.

Nvidia's latest driver also adds a bunch of application and 3D Vision profiles, along with 3D compatibility mode support for Dead Rising 3 and Strife.

G.Skill's Phoenix Blade 480GB PCIe SSD Sports Quad Controllers in RAID 0

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 08:23 AM PDT

G.Skill Phoenix Blade 480GB PCIe SSDThis SSD can give your data whiplash

Today's high performance SATA 6Gbps solid state drives top out at around 590MB/s for read and write transfers. If you need something faster, you can slap a pair in a RAID 0 configuration, or switch over to PCI-Express. G.Skill chose both with its new Phoenix Blaze Series. Kicking off G.Skill's Phoenix Blade line is a 480GB PCIe SSD equipped with four LSI SF-2281 SSD controllers in a RAID 0 setup.

It's designed with a PCIe Gen 2.0 x8 interface and is capable of up to 2,000MB/s maximum read and write speeds. Sustained read and write transfers are rated at 1,900MB/s and 1,050MB/s, respectively, along with up to 90,000 4KB random read and up to 245,000 4K random write IOPS.

"By introducing extreme read and write performance, the potential of today's multi-core processors can be unleashed, resulting in higher productivity and performance, whether you are in extreme gaming or professional design," G.Skill says.

Unfortunately G.Skill didn't announce a price for its latest SSD, though we spotted a product page on NCIXUS that's asking $800 for it. PCIe SSDs typically cost more than SATA-based drives, the latter of which have fallen below $0.50 per gigabyte, though we'll wait until the Phoenix Blade stabs through to more vendors before commenting on price.

Satechi Announces Ultra Affordable Edge Wireless Gaming Mouse

Posted: 22 Oct 2014 07:58 AM PDT

Satechi Edge Wireless Gaming MouseA gaming rodent without the premium price tag

Want to increase the value of your product? Call it a "gaming" device and it's suddenly worth much more than your original asking price. Or so it seems when shopping for peripherals like keyboards, headsets, and mice. However, not all so-called gaming products carry top-shelf price tags -- Satechi just announced the immediate availability of its Edge Wireless Gaming Mouse for $20 MSRP.

The Edge sports a "Gaming Mode" that allows users to press the "Turbo Button" to double-click with just one keystroke, in case that's of use in the games you play. There's also a "Video Control Mode" that might come in handy when not playing games. What it does is change the functions into play/pause, fast forward/backtrack, and the clear screen buttons with a single click, while the scroll wheel adjusts the volume.

There are 7 buttons in all. Other features include an optical sensor with an on-the-fly adjustable DPI (800, 1600, 2400, or 4000), up to 500Hz polling rate, 20G of acceleration, a grooved grip, four LED colors depending on the DPI selected (red, green, purple, or blue), and up to 36 hours of battery life (via two AA batteries).

The Satechi Edge Wireless Gaming Mouse can be found and purchased today on Satechi's website and through Amazon.

Real-Life Hoverboard Seeks Funding on Kickstarter

Posted: 21 Oct 2014 09:04 PM PDT

Hendo HoverboardThe hoverboard is finally becoming a reality

Ever since seeing Marty McFly use a hoverboard to escape Biff and his goons in Back to the Future Part II, many people have been wondering when this device would ever become a reality. There is even a countdown for the date when Marty arrived in "the future" to remind everyone when the movie predicted hoverboards would be a thing. Well, now it appears that the hoverboard can become a reality thanks to a Kickstarter project for the Hendo Hoverboard.

Developed by Hendo Hover, the company is seeking $250,000 in funding that will go towards mass production, finishing touches, and the building of specialized "hoverparks" where people will be able to ride them. Yet while the hoverboard uses magnets, it doesn't rely on placing one magnet over another to create a stable static equilibrium (which is impossible to do). Instead, Hendo relies on Lenz's law.

"Lenz's law explains how eddy currents are created when magnets are moved relative to a conductive material," the company explains. "These eddy currents in turn create an opposing magnetic field in the conductor.  Our core technology, which we call Magnetic Field Architecture (MFA™), focuses this field more efficiently."

The result of this technology is that the Hendo Hoverboard is capable of hovering about an inch off of the ground. But there are some caveats. For example, it requires a specialized surface that will work with its hover engines. Without a surface that is a non-ferromagnetic conductor, the hoverboard will just be a large and expensive paperweight. And there is the other problem for Kickstarter backers who want to own the device. It will cost $10,000 for a working product and, even then, there are only 10 Hendo Hoverboards up for grabs (which are all gone). 

However, the company says this is just the beginning for, not only the hoverboard, but various uses of its MFA technology. 

"The Hendo Hoverboard is a first-step product, a precursor to the broader implementation of the world-changing technology of MFA," Hendo explains. "It enables a new generation of lift and motion technology that will change the way we view transportation. Additional applications for MFA technology are virtually limitless - from business, to industry, to healthcare, and beyond."

As of the posting of this article, the Kickstarter project has 735 and received $188,257 in funds with 54 days to go. And feel free to check out the Kickstarter Page for more information about the Hendo Hoverboard and the reward tiers that are available. 

Will you buy a hoverboard when it has an affordable price tag for general consumers?
