Today we're checking out Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3050, a new budget GPU addition to the RTX 30 series. This release adds a new low-end Ampere offering to the lineup, based on the same silicon used by the RTX 3060.

For Nvidia, the 12GB RTX 3080 allows to significantly boost profit margins on silicon that would have otherwise sold as the original 10 GB model, enabling board partners and distributors to cash in the current market.

How to start this review... this thing is so bad, it's really spoiled the mood for me. In short, this is the worst GPU release since I can remember, and I've been doing this job for over two decades.

An upcoming budget Radeon GPU will be restricted to PCIe 4.0 x4 bandwidth, but what does that mean for gaming performance? Here's a brief investigation on PCIe performance with 4GB and 8GB GPU models.

In reviewing the Core i5-12400, there's nothing on paper that tells you this could be an amazing CPU. It's mostly a cut down 12600K, and yet this may be one of the most exciting CPUs to be released in the last few years.

Today we have a combo review of all-new Intel hardware, our first look at the affordable Intel B660 platform, the non-K Core i7-12700 and Intel's latest box cooler, the creatively named RM1.

Today we're taking a look at the new GeForce RTX 2060, you know, the 12GB model that gamers were hoping would help solve the GPU shortage, but certainly won't. But why, and how does it perform?

DDR5 memory supply is expected to improve, and so will pricing. So let's take a more in-depth look at what DDR5 has to offer gamers when using an Alder Lake CPU.

We test VRM thermal performance of 9 Intel Z690 motherboards priced between $220 and $300. If you're aiming for best value, these are budget boards to pair with new Alder Lake 12th-gen Core CPUs.

With the Radeon RX 6600M AMD is clearly targeting Nvidia's RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, with both occupying the same class of laptops and price segments. We put them to the test to see how they perform against each other.

Halo Infinite is the seventh mainline Halo game and the first in six years, following 2015's divisive Halo 5: Guardians. Furthermore, Infinite's story is told entirely from the perspective of longtime series hero Master Chief.

Today we're taking a look at a very heavily requested monitor, the Eve Spectrum 4K which is a 'crowd-designed' project. So how well does it do against competition from the likes of LG, Gigabyte and Samsung?

As a follow up to our feature on how CPU cores and cache impact gaming performance, we're testing different Intel 12th-gen Core Alder Lake CPUs configurations to see how fast those P-Cores and E-Cores really are.

After reviewing all 12th-gen Intel Core CPUs, today we're taking a look at how these new processors compare when using Windows 10 and Windows 11, plus Windows 11 running VBS (Virtualization-Based Security).

After looking at the performance of Apple's M1 Pro SoC powering the new MacBook Pro 16, there's another unique component in this laptop that's worth looking into, and that's the mini-LED XDR display.

Today we're taking our benchmarking to places it's never been before with an in-depth look at an Apple Silicon product. How does the M1 Pro chip perform against the best x86-based CPUs from AMD and Intel?

The Core i5-12600K is Intel's latest mainstream CPU and a direct competitor to AMD's popular Ryzen 5 5600X. The Alder Lake chip packs 6 P-cores and 4 E-cores for a total of 16 threads.

The implicit promise of Forza Horizon is in the name. You see something on the horizon, you can drive to it. Skyrim with cars. Far Cry with more cars and no guns. Forza Horizon 5 is even more beautiful than its predecessors.

After looking at the flagship Core i9 on launch date, this time we're reviewing the more mainstream Core i7-12700KF which is meant to do battle against AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X at around $450.

Starting with the top-of-the-line Core i9-12900K CPU, we can finally show you how Intel's new 12th generation Alder Lake processor architecture performs and how it's positioned against the Ryzen 9 5900X and 5950X.

The Gigabyte Aorus FO48U is a big gaming display with a 4K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and OLED technology for that sweet, sweet HDR goodness. But how does it do against LG's OLED lineup?

The new HP Victus gaming laptops enter the market as a more budget friendly alternative to the Omen line. With many configurations available for under $1,000, it's sure to be on the list of many prospective buyers.

Today we're taking a look at the Nvidia RTX A4000, but this isn't a member of the rumored next-gen GeForce RTX 4000 series, but rather an Ampere-based GPU designed for workstation PCs.

How good or bad the RX 6600 will be can only be determined over the coming weeks, based on street pricing and availability. But for now, the RX 6600 could be the most affordable current-gen graphics card you can buy.

After looking at the last few generations of Intel and AMD CPUs separately, here's our final installment in the gaming performance progress series. We compare a decade of AMD and Intel CPUs head to head.

Here's an in-depth look at the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and Radeon RX 6800 XT battle. Granted, both are disgustingly priced at present, but in case you're tired of waiting, let's check out actual gaming performance.

Today's CPU review is all about AMD's performance progress, comparing a flagship part from the AMD FX era and all Ryzen series with just 4 cores enabled at a fixed frequency to make direct comparisons, and then some.

Corsair has launched their first ever monitor called the Xeneon 32QHD165, a 32-inch 1440p 165Hz gaming monitor aiming at the premium segment with 100% Adobe RGB coverage and FreeSync/G-Sync compatibility.

The Asus ROG PG32UQ is a 32" 4K 144Hz IPS high-end gaming monitor with features like adaptive sync and variable overdrive. By removing HDR features from the flagship X model, it's also much more affordable.

You'd be forgiven if you had no idea Intel had a 5th-gen desktop CPU range, there were only 2 parts, and neither were on sale for long. However, Broadwell was a big deal as it ushered in Intel's now infamous 14nm process.
