We tested 44 GPUs in Gears of War: E-Day at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K to see what it takes to run the game well, how 8GB cards hold up, and whether upscaling makes Ultra settings practical.

The Witcher 3 Remastered overhauls CDPR's classic with improved visuals, ray tracing, and path tracing. We benchmark 13 modern GPUs to see how this ambitious free update performs.

GPU pricing has become so absurd that the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB now costs as much as the RX 9070 XT. We benchmarked both across 52 games to see just how ridiculous the gap has become.

This is a big test: across 52 games at 1440p and 4K, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is ~25% faster than the RTX 5070, while also costing less and offering 16GB of VRAM. Let's take a closer look.

We benchmark DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27 across the full RTX 50 series, with no 6X Frame Gen to hide the cost. The results show just how demanding Nvidia's new neural rendering tech really is.

Nvidia's first official DLSS 5 benchmarks promise enormous frame rates, but the underlying render performance tells a very different story, with Neural Rendering looking exceptionally demanding.

We compare the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT across 52 games at 1440p and 4K, test how each responds to undervolting, and determine whether the XT model is worth its price premium.

Samsung's first 6K gaming monitor pushes even the RTX 5090 beyond its comfort zone. We test Nvidia's uber expensive flagship to see what gaming above 4K really costs in performance and image quality.

AMD's Radeon RX 9050 8GB promises current-generation graphics for budget gamers, but poor performance and even worse value make this GPU nearly impossible to justify.

AMD is launching a 4GB GPU in 2026, so we revisited the Radeon RX 6500 XT to see how 4GB and 8GB versions compare in modern games. The results are predictably ugly.

AMD's Ryzen 7 7700X3D revives Zen 4 with a lower-clocked take on the 7800X3D. We benchmark 13 games to see how much performance it gives up and whether it still belongs in a modern gaming PC.

AMD's Ryzen 7 5800X3D is back at $350. It looks overpriced, but for AM4 owners facing costly DDR5 upgrades, this four-year-old CPU may still be the smartest path to modern gaming performance today.

How demanding is Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced? We benchmarked 50 graphics cards across multiple settings, resolutions, ray tracing modes, and upscaling presets.

Intel never released the Arc B770, but the Arc Pro B70 may show us exactly what it would have looked like. We test Intel's workstation Battlemage GPU in 12 modern games.

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 Radeon RX 9070 GRE arrives outside China, but a year-old GPU with 12GB of VRAM and a $550 price tag struggles to justify its place in AMD's increasingly crowded lineup.

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.
