Which $250 GPU is the better buy: Nvidia's RTX 5050 or Intel's Arc B580? We compare performance, upscaling quality, and VRAM limits to find out.

Intel's Core Ultra 7 265K has dropped to $310, but is it finally a good buy for gamers? We put it head-to-head with AMD's Ryzen chips across four games, multiple GPUs, and three resolutions.

We tested everything from PCIe 5.0 to SATA, and even hard drives, to see what really matters for gaming performance, and whether ultra-fast storage offers a tangible edge over older options.

We're revisiting the Radeon RX 9070 XT vs GeForce RTX 5070, now with updated drivers, pricing shifts, and a massive 57-game benchmark at 1440p and 4K to see which GPU really offers better value.

Not much has changed in the gaming GPU market as of late, so this month we're looking at current prices and discussing the best graphics cards you can buy.

We compare the GeForce RTX 4070 head-to-head with the more affordable RTX 4060 Ti 16GB. Recently both GPUs have seen price cuts, so which is the better buy and at what price target?

In this 45 game benchmark shootout we put the $600 GeForce RTX 4070 and the $500 Radeon RX 7800 XT head-to-head to see which comes up as the ultimate mid-range GPU winner.

We're going through every setting in Starfield and tell you which settings are worth turning to Ultra, and which should be turned down to improve performance. That's right, optimization guides are back!

An in-depth comparison between the Radeon RX 7600 and GeForce RTX 4060, both new GPUs selling at around $300, or a tad less. Although prev-gen GPUs tend to do better, in this direct battle, who wins?

Today, we're comparing the GeForce RTX 4060 with its more upscale sibling from a different silicon wafer, the RTX 4060 Ti, to determine if the Ti variant is worth the extra $100.

We've spent a ton of time testing the latest AMD and Nvidia mainstream GPUs, meant to be capable of 1440p gaming, however to summarize our experience, these new products have been extremely underwhelming.

It's time for a classic AMD vs. Intel head-to-head gaming battle, comparing the Ryzen 7 7800X3D against the Core i7-13700K, both high performance CPUs and a close match in terms of pricing.

We often hear people say that DLSS can deliver "better than native" image quality, giving gamers not only a performance boost but superior visuals. Let's find out if this is at all true.

Following up to our last mega benchmark, today we're comparing the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti to the RTX 3080 10GB, a previous-gen GPU which is now two and a half years old. The results may surprise you.

In this new GPU mega benchmark we compare the Radeon RX 7900 XT against the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti in 50+ games, some of which were tested using multiple configurations, ray tracing and more.

Following our series of CPU & GPU scaling benchmarks, it's time for a comparison between Intel's new Core i5-13400 and the tried and true AMD Ryzen 7 5700X.

Time for a massive benchmark comparison between the Ryzen 5 7600X and Core i5-13600K, covering 54 games across three resolutions using the GeForce RTX 4090.

Can today's value king, the Radeon RX 6600, hold a candle to 2016's flagship GeForce GPU, the GTX 1080? Let's find out how these two GPUs match up by testing them in 51 games and get our answer.

Here's another look at the Intel Arc 3 A380 GPU, but this time on a 51 game benchmark against AMD's $150 Radeon RX 6400. This will show us how the Arc A380 performs across a wide range of titles.

It's clear that anyone running a first-gen Ryzen CPU should look into upgrading to an affordable Zen 3. But how about Zen 2 owners, like the Ryzen 5 3600? Then it's less obvious what you should do.

We compare the Radeon RX 6600 XT and GeForce RTX 3060 head-to-head to see how these two GPUs stack up using the latest drivers in a wide range of games. Currently both of these GPUs are selling for about $400.

We're comparing the Ryzen 5 5600 and Core i5-12400F mainstream CPUs across a range of games at 1080p and 1440p using four tiers of GPU: RTX 3060, RTX 3070, RTX 3080 12GB and RTX 3090 Ti.

We'll compare the Radeon RX 6600 XT head-to-head against the GeForce RTX 3060 in 30 games, to see how they stack up, giving us a second chance to sort of re-review the 6600 XT using actual retail pricing.

Recently we compared the Ryzen 7 5800X and Core i7-11700K in 32 games, but now we're including the more affordable Core i7-10700K which has very similar specs, is still widely available, and can net you some real savings.

Today we've got a classic head to head CPU battle in our hands, with a comparison between the Ryzen 7 5800X and Core i7-11700K, both of which are 8-core, 16-thread CPUs that cost around $400.
