Fractal Design Edison M 750W

Swedish brand Fractal Design is represented in this segment by the Edison M 750W, an 80 Plus Gold unit with modular cabling, denoted by the ‘M’ in the model name. The unit distinguishes itself visually through Fractal’s signature white fan, which is visible underneath the grille.

EVGA SuperNova G2 750W

EVGA’s entrant in this segment is the SuperNova G2 750W, and like EVGA’s 550W PSU on test, it comes in at a very tempting price. What’s more, the low price of £87 inc VAT doesn’t seem to have had any impact on the feature set. It has a fully modular design and a lot of attractive, long, sleeved cables. The cable set includes four PCI-E graphics plugs, which is plenty for a PSU in this class and, remarkably, the SuperNova G2 measures only 140mm long, meaning you can fit it into just about any case.

Corsair RM750i

Corsair’s RM Series justifiably won a lot of praise when it entered the market, bringing 80 Plus Gold-rated PSUs to a new price point, and performing well in all departments. One aspect of the range kept haunting the company, though, at least with demanding users: its use of Taiwanese rather than Japanese capacitors, as the latter are perceived as being superior.

Dirt Rally

It’ll leave skid marks on more than your screen

Three years ago, Codemasters’s smoothrunning Dirt series hit a filthy great pothole, otherwise known as Dirt: Showdown. Sure, this wasn’t necessarily the greatest disappointment in racing game history—it’s up against Need for Speed: ProStreet and Test Drive Unlimited 2 for that honor—but it marked a low point in the series’s decline from rally simulator to arcade smash-‘emup. So, just as any movie or game franchise still worth a buck inevitably gets a reboot, Codemasters is back to repair the damage.

Sapphire R9 390X Tri-X

While all the spotlight is on the latest AMD Fury line of graphic cards, AMD has also updated a bunch of their other cards to cater to the much more demanding mid to uppermidrange market. This includes revamping their existing cards, namely the Hawaii chipset to get more out of them. Paired with the released of Microsoft’s latest OS, Windows 10, it should squeeze out more performance out of a reliable baseline. One of the refreshed GPU is the R9 390X. Rated just below the Fury range of graphic card, would this card prove you can still teach an old dog new tricks? Let's find out.
