With DDR5 prices still rising, DDR4 vs. DDR5 is back in focus as we test whether pairing DDR4 with a budget Intel Core i5 CPU can offset the cost of DDR5 and challenge the Ryzen competition.

We compare the budget friendly Core i5 12400F and Ryzen 5 7500F to see which CPU still delivers the best value in modern games using updated hardware and consistent test conditions.

AMD's RX 9060 lineup is confusing. Two cards share one name, performance varies widely, and the non XT model hides in OEM systems. We bought a full PC to see how it really performs.

We compare six years of Nvidia's RTX 70 series, from the 2070 to the new 5070, to see whether the latest card truly moves forward or simply holds the line in performance and value.

AMD's Ryzen 5 9500F is generating plenty of buzz. We tested this cut-down 9600X - same cores, no iGPU, and slightly lower clocks - to see if it's a smart, affordable upgrade for your next build.

720Hz OLED is finally here. Asus' ROG Swift PG27AQWP pushes 540Hz at 1440p or a wild 720Hz at 720p, making it the fastest desktop OLED we've tested.

Our year-long AMD B850 motherboard roundup is complete. We have tested 47 boards in total, and this second part covers the final models across all price ranges. Let's jump in.

Upscaling on? Wondering whether to go RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT? We break down performance, pricing, and DLSS vs FSR to see which mid-range GPU upgrade makes the most sense.

A year ago the Ryzen 9800X3D beat Intel's Ultra 285K by 24%. With 200S Boost overclocking on the table, we are retesting to see if one click tuning can close the gap.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070 and AMD's Radeon RX 9070 are going head to head at the same price. We benchmark both with DLSS 4 and FSR 4 to see which mid-range GPU delivers the stronger gaming experience.

We benchmarked 33 CPUs in Battlefield 6 to see what really drives performance. After testing 43 GPUs last week, it's time to find out which processors keep the action smooth when chaos begins.

AMD's Ryzen 5 8400F was once an obscure OEM chip, but now it's showing up online for cheap. We tested it against AMD's other budget CPUs to see if this rebadged Zen 4 processor is actually worth buying.

Battlefield 6 has arrived, and we've put it through an exhaustive benchmark: 43 GPUs, three resolutions, two presets, plus DLSS, FSR, and image quality testing. Here's how it performs.

Intel's Arc B580 finally hit $250, undercutting rivals like the RTX 5060 and 9060 XT. With 12GB VRAM vs. their 8GB, it's a budget gamer's win–if Intel's lingering CPU overhead issue holds up.

We compare four generations of $300 GeForce and Radeon GPUs to see how budget gaming has evolved, from crypto-fueled chaos to today's AI-driven market, and which card delivers the best value now.

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?

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 blends sleek design, portability, and power with an RTX 5080 GPU and stunning OLED display. But does it deliver enough to justify the premium price?

Borderlands 4 is here, and performance is rough. Even the mighty RTX 5090 struggles to hit 60 fps at 4K. We tested GPU performance across presets to see just how brutal this game really is.

Zen 5 promised major gaming performance gains but delivered minimal improvements over Zen 4. After a year of updates, price drops, and testing, we examine if Zen 5 is finally worth the upgrade.

We spent months testing and gathering data on 23 affordable AMD B850 motherboards. Here's our roundup of the best budget options and how they perform.

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.

In a sea of next-gen CPUs, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D still stands tall. We benchmark it across 4 games, resolutions, and GPUs to see how it scales with today's top-tier and midrange graphics cards.

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 Threadripper 9000 series pushes Zen 5 to the extreme, with up to 64 cores and sky-high specs. We review the HEDT 9970X and 9980X–powerful, pricey, and not for the faint of budget.

Comparing the RTX 5060 Ti and RX 9060 XT 16GB, we benchmark performance with DLSS 4 and FSR 4 across multiple upscaling modes to see which GPU delivers the best real-world gaming experience.

AOC is back with the Q27G40XMN, a budget 1440p gaming monitor that upgrades HDR with more dimming zones and wider color. It follows a fan favorite, but is it truly better?

We're kicking off a new benchmark series with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D vs. Ryzen 5 7600X, testing CPU and GPU scaling across four games, multiple resolutions, and four tiers of GPUs.

After months of testing and tracking down nearly every Radeon RX 9070 XT model, we're finally ready to compare 14 cards in detail, covering gaming, thermals, and value to help you find the best options.

Let's put four generations of AMD Radeon GPUs to the test to see how the $300 segment has evolved over the past five years. From the 5600 XT to the new 9060 XT 8GB, here's how they stack up.

What has Nvidia delivered over the past six years? We've tested the mainstream RTX 2060, 3060, 4060, and new 5060 across modern games to find out how far the 60-class GPU lineup has actually come.
