From affordable 34-inch LCDs to flagship 45-inch OLEDs, these are the best ultrawide gaming monitors you can buy right now, tested and recommended by us.

Lego Batman is advertising 60 FPS, but it's really 15 FPS. Frame generation is supposed to make good performance better, not hide the fact that a game is running poorly. Lego Batman's spec sheet just crossed that line.

The CPU market looks very different from six months ago. Intel's back in the conversation, AMD's X3D chips still rule gaming, and there's genuine value at every price point.

Valve's Steam Machine was supposed to be an affordable gaming PC for the living room. Rising memory and storage prices have turned that dream into a pricing nightmare.

From near collapse to CPU dominance, we revisit 10 years of AMD Ryzen, benchmarking every flagship generation to see how performance, value, and architecture evolved.

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.

Windows handhelds may have found a breakthrough. FSR 4 INT8, XeFG, and XeLL can turn compromised 30 FPS gaming into smooth 60 FPS play, making devices like the Legion Go far more capable than expected.

AMD finally delivers dual 3D V-Cache on Zen 5 with the 9950X3D2, but does twice the cache translate into real gains? We test performance, power, and value to see if this flagship makes sense.

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.

From Kaby Lake to Core Ultra, we revisit Intel's flagship CPUs to see how a decade of design choices shaped performance, power, and ultimately, how the company lost its lead.

Nine X3D CPUs, two platforms, and 14 games tested. We compare every Ryzen 5 and 7 X3D processor to find out how much performance has improved since the 5800X3D and where it actually matters.

Wi-Fi 8 is already taking shape, and while it won't raise peak speeds beyond Wi-Fi 7, it promises something just as important: more reliable, lower-latency wireless performance where it actually matters.

AMD's Ryzen 5 5500X3D extends AM4's life once again, but is it worth it? We tested 14 games to see how this cut-down 3D V-Cache chip stacks up against Zen 3, older Ryzen parts, and newer CPUs.

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.

Napster made digital music feel limitless for the first time, then vanished in lawsuits, rebrands, and sales. Its name faded, but its ideas still shape how the world listens.

Intel's Core Ultra 7 270K Plus pushes beyond the 250K Plus with more cores and cache for $300. It costs more, but could be a strong value for high-end productivity workloads.

Thanks to its class-leading hardware and software, the Apple iPad lineup has long been the go-to tablet recommendation for most people, but now let us guide you on which model is the best for you.

Intel's Core Ultra 5 250K Plus fixes what the 200 series got wrong, delivering blistering productivity performance and competitive gaming at $200, making it one of Intel's most compelling budget CPUs yet.

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.

AMD's upcoming FSR 4.1 update promises clearer detail and less motion blur. We tested the new upscaler against FSR 4 and Nvidia's DLSS 4.5 to see how much image quality has improved.

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.

If Windows 11 feels cluttered with AI features, ads, and background services, these popular free tools help strip out the bloat, disable telemetry, and give you more control over the OS.

Apple's $599 MacBook Neo isn't for you. But it might be the most important laptop announcement in years - and the budget Windows market should be paying close attention.

After 6,500 hours of heavy productivity use, we revisit our intentionally abused 4K QD-OLED monitor to see how burn-in has progressed under one of the worst-case scenarios for OLED panels.
