This is the ghost of PC Format. Read this post in a wispy and ethereal voice, and all will be well.

PC Format may be gone (sniff), but PC Gamer is still very much alive and well, and you can meet them in the flesh. The PC Gamer Weekender is a chance to play unreleased games, meet some brilliant people and lust over some incredible kit (as well as find out how to do some incredible things with your rig).

Get yourself along to London Town (the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, to be exact) on the Saturday 5th-Sunday 6th March for a well deserved slice of geekery.

There's a special deal on ticket prices right now as well: http://weekender.pcgamer.com/booking-new

Intel in partnership with Micron has announced a new memory technology called 3D Xpoint. A innovative new non volatile memory chip, toting performance and endurance 1000 times greater than current NAND flash solutions.

Although they aren't saying much about the proprietary memory technology they have said it may make its way to both desktop and enterprise users in 2016, in what format we can only speculate at this point.

Still slower than DDR4 (just slightly) the technology is plug and play and can work collaboratively cross platform between traditional NAND storage solutions and DRAM memory. If what Intel has said is true, this could be a game changing piece of technology looking forward. No more cut scenes, no more loading, no more transitions in gaming. Instantaneous boot times. Who knows what else! Good job Intel and Micron, you have our attention.

Progress update: Unfortunately we could only cool one of the Zotacs, due to the orientation of the barb fittings. Now on to a 24 hour leak test and we'll be good to boot!

Magically connecting our two previous posts, AMD has a new beta driver out that specifically tries to alleviate some of the woes experienced by anyone trying to play Batman: Arkham Knight. Grab the new driver from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download, although be warned that the new driver has the following (rather surprising) problems still:

Known Issues:

[422129] Batman: Arkham Knight – The application may crash during in game benchmarking or while exiting the game.

[422130] Batman: Arkham Knight – The screen may turn black or pink while changing resolution to 1680x1050.

Crossfire doesn't work either.

This game needs an e***a...
