NVIDIA has announced its latest budget graphics card, the GTX 650 Ti BOOST, which offers up to a 40 per cent performance increase over the card's predecessor.
As the year's biggest PC release continue to launch, NVIDIA has moved to provide gamers with an affordable card, designed to boost performance within these games.
The GTX 650 Ti BOOST GPU is based on NVIDIA Kepler architecture and packs 768 CUDA cores, whilst available in both 1GB and 2GB memory configurations.

The new GPU also incorporates NVIDIA's GPU Boost technology, which reacts in real-time to the needs of a game and dynamically adjusts performance along with SLI capability.
NVIDIA says the 2GB edition of the GTX 650 Ti BOOST is available now for £144 from the firm's add-in card suppliers, such as ASUS, EVGA, Gainward, KFA2, Gigabyte, Inno 3D, MSI, Palit, PNY, Point of View and Zotac. Meanwhile, the 1GB version of the GPU will be available early April for £124.

 Soften the financial impact of Dead Space 3, SimCity, or Need for Speed Most Wanted, while you soften your skin, with an entirely random Amazon deal. Right now, through some totally nonsensical co-marketing, you get the $20 discount off of one of those three EA games if you buy $15 worth of "Dove Men + Care" products, including deodorant, soap, or shampoo.
The limited edition of SimCity is currently already discounted to $40, so this deal takes it down to an effective $20, provided you also need some unnecessarily gender-specific hygiene products.

Eve Online's 19th free expansion, Odyssey, will be released on 4th June.Broadly, it's all about exploration. Scanning has been rethought allowing you to uncover the secrets of the Eve Online universe - if you're brave and patient enough to go find them.
User-interfaces have been improved, as have graphics.CCP mentioned redistributing resources across its Eve Online universe as well, which should shake up conventions and potentially establish new hot-spots for a good dust up.Some ship-types have been redesigned and there are new "tools of war" issued by the four factions. Star bases have been improved, too.CCP's info for Odyssey is sparse at the moment, with the promise of more to come. Plus, there's to be "a few surprises"."Odyssey is an expression of our love for space and exploration," said Eve senior producer Andie Nordgren. "It brings changes that will wake the wanderlust and taste for adventure in both new and veteran pilots."Eve Online turns 10 years old in May. Remarkably, not only has the game survived that long, it's survived as a subscription MMO for that long.It's been growing, too: CCP announced that Eve Online had passed the 500,000 subscriber mark recently.

Daylight is a PC first-person horror game powered by Unreal Engine 4, and below is the first ever trailer of it in action.  Daylight is the latest game from Zombie Studio, who has over the years done several military shooters including Spec Ops, Delta Force and Blacklight, and more recently Blacklight: Retribution, a free-to-play sci-fi shooter for PC released in 2012.Zombie Studio describes Daylight as "a procedurally generated psychological thriller"."Waking up in an abandoned hospital with only your cell phone for illumination, you explore the institution's dark criminal past as you attempt to escape," it explains."Daylight introduces gamers to a procedurally generated world that replicates the horrifying nature of Daylight over and over again, but creates a different environment for each new game."Each time the player begins a new game, they experience a new world with new content and encounters; from the layout of the building and the things they seek to the events they encounter, it is never the same experience twice," it adds.Expected for release in 2013, Zombie Studio says the game is "coming soon to Steam".

 We probably don't need to tell you that one of the first things we did upon finding out that Windows Blue had leaked was download that sucker. (Sorry Microsoft, we can't help ourselves.) Well, after some finagling we got it up and running in a virtual machine and gave spin. Even at this early stage its pretty obvious that Blue is going to be a relatively minor, but welcome upgrade Windows 8. And, while we encountered plenty of rough edges, we'd say they're more than explained away by the fact that this is an early build and VirtualBox can introduce its own set of problems. But, if you're just looking for a sneak peak at what Microsoft has in store for Windows in 2013, head on after break and check out the gallery of screenshots below.

Just as last week was winding down, we heard a credible rumor that Microsoft was about to update some of the native apps found in Windows 8 / Windows RT. Turns out, that report was on the money: the company unveiled some changes today to Mail, Calendar and People, with a particular focus on speed improvements. None of these updates will be available to download until tonight or tomorrow, says a Microsoft rep, so don't all of you go making a beeline for the Windows Store at once now. If you're itching for a preview, though, we've got a summary of the new features after the break, along with a few extra screenshots.

For those that can swing a Chromebook Pixel in the first place, the LTE model may be the wisest choice when it promises always-on data for a constantly connected machine. Anyone who can justify the $1,449 outlay will be happy to know that Google has quietly narrowed down the launch window: early orders should now ship by April 8th. Shoppers will still have to be Americans willing to latch on to Verizon's network for LTE, but the date leaves a mere two weeks before the release of what's unquestionably the highest-end (and priciest) Chrome OS system yet. Any takers?

 It can be scary mustering developer support for a brand-new app platform -- just ask BlackBerry. Microsoft may feel slightly relaxed, then, if MetroStore Scanner's unofficial estimates are on the ball. It sees over 50,380 active Windows Store apps as of this writing, which isn't bad for a shop that reportedly had less than half this amount back in November. Whether or not you consider it progress compared to the rest of the market is another matter: the tally is a big leap over the estimated 14,000 apps in theMac App Store, but it won't make either Apple or Google break out in a cold sweat when compared against the six-digit app counts of their mobile app stores. Microsoft currently declines to confirm the numbers, although the company tells us that the app count may vary from country to country. For now, it's safe to presume that a fair number of app writers are onside with Microsoft's tile- and touch-driven vision of the future.

Valve has revealed the latest top sellers chart for the week ending on March 23rd, with Bioshock Infinite snatching the top spot away from the Arma 3 Alpha.
The two switch first place and runner-up positions ahead of Infinite’s launch later this week.
The rest is a bit messy, with Valve going promo crazy this past week. Past regulars like Assassin’s Creed III, Dark Souls, and Saints Row: The Third all found a place on the list, thanks to solid discounts.
Tomb Raider endured, despite all the sales garnering most of the attention, sliding four spots from last week to the seventh position.
- Bioshock Infinite
- Arma 3 Alpha
- Assassin’s Creed III
- Far Cry 3
- Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition
- Saints Row: The Third – The Full Package
- Tomb Raider
- Skyrim and Skyrim: Dragonborn
- Kerbal Space Program and Left 4 Dead 2
- Age of Empires 2 and You Need A Budget 4

Lord of the Rings Online studio Turbine is developing a free-to-play arena battler based on the DC Comics licence.
It’s called Infinite Crisis and it will be published by Warner Bros. It’s due out at some time in 2013 on PC.
It’ll feature lots of recognisable DC faces and will be set in the “DC multiverse”, which effectively means that players can expect the likes of Batman, Catwoman, Green Lantern and The Flash (all of whom have been confirmed for the game) to undergo some creative re-imagining.
“We are thrilled to bring Infinite Crisis, a truly competitive experience featuring the DC Comics lore and characters, to the MOBA genre,” Warner Interactive president Martin Tremblay stated.
“Turbine is a pioneer in online gaming and combined with the amazing world of DC Comics, they are executing on a game concept that expands the MOBA genre.”
Turbine’s executive producer Jeffrey Steefel added: “The Turbine team is very excited to reveal Infinite Crisis to the world and extend the MOBA genre with new features.
“We are utilizing years of experience in the online game space to deliver innovations to the MOBA genre with a game that features fast-paced action, a major story arc, destructible environments, catastrophic events and a deep roster of iconic DC Comics characters.”

With the new leaked videos and screenshots of Windows Blue released, IE 11 is also included. IE 10 just came out weeks ago for Windows 7 users and Microsoft is more determined than ever to prevent IE from becoming irrelevant as Firefox and Chrome scream past it by also including a faster release schedule. A few beta testers reported that IE 11 changed its user agent string from MSIE to IE with the 'like gecko' command included. Microsoft may be doing this to stop web developers stop feeding broken IE 6-8 code and refusing to serve HTML 5/CSS 3 whenever it detects MSIE in its user agent string. Unfortunately this will break many business apps that are tied to ancient and specific version of IE. Will this cause more hours of work for web developers? Or does IE10+ really act like Chrome or Firefox and this will finally end the hell of custom CSS tricks?

J.S. Joust and BIT.TRIP devs also sign up develop for tiny interactive gaming tech
Interactive gaming outfit Sifteo has awarded two indie developres with $25,000 each as part of the experimental gameplay project.
The EGP, run by a number of indies including World of Goo creator Kyle Gabler, which holds monthly competitions based on a specific theme, recently teamed up with Sifteo to hold a community-based development contest.
Entrants were tasked with making a title for Sifteo Cubes, tiny interactive cubes that respond to gestures and communicate information wirelessly to each other.
The two finalists to receive a publishing deal and $25,000 each in funding to finish their games were One Life Remains with ‘best in multiplayer’ bicycle racer Paraplui and ‘best in single player’ titles Squaresville by Frank Force.
"We don't have the monopoly on creativity here at Sifteo, so we're reaching out to top developers all over the world,” said Sifteo co-founder Jeevan Kalanithi.

A build of Microsoft's unreleased update to Windows 8, currently known only as Blue, has leaked online.
Build 9364 of Windows Blue has reportedly landed on multiple fire-sharing sites, which detail the download as the 32-bit edition of Blue, sized at 2.63GB.
It is believed that the file has surfaced online via a Microsoft partner based in France.
Blue initially caused a stir on its initial reveal, with many believing the software to be Microsoft's latest operating system – a potential successor to Windows 8.
However, further leaks have indicated that Blue is the first major update to Windows 8, rather than a new OS in itself.
Notable inclusions within the update include both larger and smaller live tiles, allowing for greater Start screen personalisation and side-by-side app viewing, which enhances multitasking efficiency within the OS. Also bundled within the leaked build is Internet Explorer 11.

Nvidia has set its sights on the free-to-play market by unveiling its latest hardware bundles, which offer PC gamers in-game currency for some of the market’s biggest cost-free titles.
The GPU manufacturer announced the new bundles as part of its ‘Gear up, Game on’ promotion, which incentivises its high-end graphics cards with the latest games titles.
Within the new deals, Nvidia is offering up to £100 worth of in-game credit for some of the biggest free-to-play titles, including World of Tanks, Planetside 2 and Hawken to gamers picking up a GPU from the firm’s GTX range. Buyers of the GTX 650 range can expect to receive £50 of currency to use within the selected titles, whilst gamers opting for the GTX660 range and above will receive the full £100.
Matt Wright, consumer sales manager for Nvidia, cites the move into the free-to-play market as a way of meeting the needs of today’s PC gaming community: “We are seeing more and more high profile games launch with a free-to-play business model, causing an explosion on the PC with over 250 million gamers now playing over 14 billion hours of F2P titles on the PC each year. It’s big business and a big market that we want to show continuous support to,” said Wright.
“According to a Steam Hardware Survey, over 36 million gamers don’t meet the recommended specs, meaning they’re missing out on the very best experience in their favourite games. So it makes sense to encourage our etail partners to tap into this community.”
Nvidia began its ‘Gear up, Game on’ promotion last year as a way of boosting its hardware sales, whilst providing gamers with the required kit to play the newest games releases.
Previously, the firm had offered a selection of the year’s blockbuster titles such as Borderlands 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and Assassins Creed III as part of the programme. But with free-to-play titles taking over as the most played games amongst PC gamers, Nvidia has adjusted the promotion in order to better reflect the community.
Similarly, the channel’s retailers and resellers have celebrated the bundle offering as boosting the sales of its hardware products.
Duncan Rutherford, product manager at Dabs.com, said: “Initiatives such as bundles is a growing trend in the gaming market and it works because we provide added value to our customers, which is always a positive when you’re working in a competitive and crowded market.
“Bundling games with hardware gives us the chance to also promote items around the graphics cards, such as monitors and peripherals, and sell it as a solution to get a great overall gaming experience for the customer.”
