Does the Nvidia App really hurt gaming performance? We benchmarked its background app, overlay, recording, and filters to see what affects frame rates and whether it is worth keeping installed.
Nvidia's shift away from PC gaming wasn't driven by AI alone. Slowing GPU gains, rising manufacturing costs, and longer upgrade cycles made gamers a far less attractive business.
The Nvidia App has evolved far beyond basic driver updates. From monitor tweaks, to DLSS overrides and recording tools, these are the settings PC gamers should actually be using.
Eight years after Nvidia promised ray tracing would revolutionize gaming, most gamers still disable it. So what happened, and did RTX buyers get sold a fantasy instead of the future?
We benchmark the Radeon RX 9070 XT and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti across 52 games, testing rasterization and ray tracing performance at 1440p and 4K.
Forza Horizon 6 looks stunning on PC, but some settings deliver huge FPS gains with little visual loss. We benchmark every major option to find the best optimized settings for every GPU tier.
1080p, 1440p, 4K Tested Forza Horizon 6 is one of the best-looking racing games yet, but max settings and RT can crush modern GPUs. We tested 47 graphics cards to see what it really takes to run well.
Forza Horizon 6 looks stunning, but our testing shows modern visuals come at a steep VRAM cost. Here's how 8GB and 16GB GPUs compare across a range of settings and resolutions.
GPU prices have stopped getting worse, but they have not gotten much better either. Demand has fallen, prices remain elevated, and most graphics cards still sell well above MSRP worldwide.
We tested nine RTX 5070 Ti cards and found consistent performance throughout. The problem isn't which model to buy - it's whether any of them make sense at today's prices.
Crimson Desert looks great and runs well on most PCs, but some settings introduce visual noise and inefficiencies. We break down every option to find the best balance of image quality and performance.
We benchmarked Crimson Desert across 40 GPUs to see how it performs at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. Here's what to expect from your system - and how well it's optimized for modern hardware.
We analyze over 650 PC games to compare DLSS, FSR, and XeSS support to reveal how far Nvidia, AMD, and Intel really are from each other in upscaling and frame generation adoption.
