After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain.

The end result was a great boost in performance and almost 100 extra frames per second in the game tests.
