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.

Four years on, we revisit the Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs Core i9-12900K with modern games and DDR4 vs DDR5 configs. The result: still neck and neck, but memory choice now makes a real difference.

A year after Zen 5's debut, we revisit AMD's Ryzen 9800X3D vs 7800X3D to see if the premium is worth it. With new GPUs and updates, has performance shifted or is the older chip still the smarter buy?

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 AMD and Nvidia's latest 8GB GPUs and found major performance issues when compared to their 16GB counterparts. Here's how they hold up under real-world, VRAM-intensive conditions.

AMD's RX 9070 XT is off to a blazing start, already outselling Nvidia's GeForce 50 series. With the RTX 5070 Ti now in the spotlight, we're diving into which GPU offers the better bang for your buck.

We're pitting Intel's Core Ultra 9 285K against AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D in a massive showdown across 45 games. Let's see how they stack up in real-world gaming, with FPS data for every title tested.

We've benchmarked the Radeon RX 7900 GRE and GeForce RTX 4070 Super across 58 different game configurations, taking an in-depth look at rasterization, ray tracing, and upscaling performance.

It's time we take a fresh look at DDR4 vs DDR5 memory performance using the Core i9-14900K. We're benchmarking with fast DDR5-7200 and DDR4-4000 memory, noting that these days DDR5 is cheaper than DDR4.

With the release of new drivers and new games, plus the request of many readers, it's time for an updated look at the Radeon RX 7900 XTX vs. GeForce RTX 4080 rivalry with fresh benchmarks.

The Ryzen 5 7500F is AMD's most affordable Zen 4-based CPU, though it's still a bit of an elusive offering, in this review we'll be comparing it against its chief rival, the Intel Core i5-13400F.

It only made sense for AMD to create a 6-core X3D CPU when they had enough defective 5800X3D silicon. That time has come, albeit on a limited basis. Is the 5600X3D any good this late in the game?

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?

If you are building or upgrading a Ryzen gaming PC, should you go with the more affordable 5800X3D, or go all out with the 7800X3D? Today's review plans to answer both of these questions and more.

A few weeks ago we did a horrible thing. A horrible, biased, and frankly unforgivable thing. At least that's what Steve was told by well-informed folks over on Reddit... we benchmarked the RTX 4070 Ti using FSR.

At which point does the jump up from the affordable Ryzen 5600 to the relatively expensive Ryzen 7600 makes sense? That's what we'll be testing in this CPU and GPU scaling benchmark.

It's time for a new mega benchmark comparing the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX head to head against the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 in a myriad of games. Is there such a thing as a $1,000+ GPU king?

As next-gen GPUs arrive and pricing returns to sane levels, we are left with "new" mainstream priced graphics cards. Here's a big comparison between the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and the Radeon RX 6800.

The Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread Zen 4 processor priced to compete with the Core i9-12900K. With that many cores, is it only a productivity monster or can it also compete with the best in gaming?

The GeForce GTX 1080 was released back in 2016, so six years later the RTX 3050 arrived at half the price. After many years and multiple GPU generations, can 2022's $300 GeForce GPU beat 2016's $600 GPU?

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.

Here's yet another look at the Ryzen 7 5800X3D with a big 40 game benchmark, but this time we've prepared a shootout against the more affordable and competitive Core i7-12700KF.

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.

A massive gaming benchmark comparison between the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and Core i9-12900K, pitting the two head to head across 40 games at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, from battle royale to real-time strategy titles.
