We have spent a considerable amount of time over the past few days staring at the Shader Compilation loading screen in a new game called Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. For some of you, the game needs no introduction. But frankly, that experience has been more enjoyable than testing half the products we've reviewed in 2024, so probably not even cracking the top 10 most boring things I've done this year (that was a joke – I love what I do)...

The time has finally come – the showdown between AMD's best and Intel's best: the Ryzen 7 9800X3D versus the powerful Core i9-14900K. These two high-performance gaming CPUs go head-to-head across 45 games in an extensive comparison.

Today marks a special day for PC gamers with the return of the $250 graphics card, and what we are seeing from Intel looks very promising. That's right – Intel appears to be revitalizing PC gaming by delivering a GPU that outperforms both the GeForce RTX 4060 and Radeon RX 7600 while costing less and, importantly, offering more VRAM: 12GB instead of just 8GB.

Intel's two latest flagships, the Core Ultra 9 285K and Core i9 14900K go head-to-head in 45 games to see how their performance stacks up. Can the...

It's time to round up the best CPUs on the market. After countless CPU reviews and benchmarks, we've put it all together into a single article to...

Intel's Arc B570 is a scaled-down version of the B580 GPU we reviewed about a month ago. The B580 is a budget-minded GPU that really impressed us when we first tested it, but since then things have soured a bit.

Intel's Arc B580 aims to rival the RTX 4060 for just $250, but with CPU overhead issues impacting gaming performance, let's see how it fares at 50...

Exciting times for us computer enthusiasts as we can finally showcase the new GeForce RTX 5090 and the next generation of Nvidia GPUs, codenamed Blackwell, with the new flagship graphics card priced at $2,000.

The GeForce RTX 5080 is Nvidia's new $1,000 GPU offering, coming in at half the price of the RTX 5090 with, unsurprisingly, half the specs. You get half the cores, half the memory bus, half the VRAM, and almost half the memory bandwidth.
