GTX 1070 – What’s the hype? The Refresh

Welcome to The Refresh, a new series from TrustedReviews where we pick out this week’s highlights from the tech world.

This week on The Refresh:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Review – If you’re in the market for a new graphics card, the 1070 should be at the top of your list according to Alastair Stevenson (@MonkeyGuru). Alastair reviewed NVIDIA’s latest graphics card and joins me on The Refresh to explain what’s so good about it.

Resident Evil 7 VR – If you’re a fan of horror games, check out our resident gamer Brett Phipp’s (@inverteBrett) hands-on with the Beginning Hour, a preview of the upcoming Resident Evil 7 VR game. There’s nowhere to hide in virtual reality!

1,000 Core Processor – Scientists at the University of California have developed a record-breaking 1,000 core processor. Known as KiloCore, it’s so efficient it can be powered by a single AA battery. That all sounds great – but can it play Crysis?
