Benchmark articles

Black Myth: Wukong is a new action RPG that's gained attention for its stunning visuals and intense combat. Today, we'll focus on GPU benchmarking to compare performance across a ton of cards.

The Ryzen 9 9950X is AMD's most powerful Zen 5 desktop offering. Dual CCD Ryzen CPUs have never been the best options for gamers, but they have been the best options for those who like to work and play.

In a nutshell, what makes the Ryzen 5 9600X a bad product is the fact that it's often slower than its predecessor and yet somehow costs 40% more. There's no reason anyone should buy this CPU.

Today we're taking our first look at AMD's new Zen 5 processors, starting with the Ryzen 7 9700X, their latest 8-core / 16-thread CPU designed to replace the 7700X.

Is Windows 10 or Windows 11 faster for gaming? We revisit this question using four hardware setups benchmarked with fresh OS installations in 13 games, with updated drivers and testing software.

As next-gen CPUs quickly approach, we've updated all our CPU benchmark data and have retested some Intel CPUs to highlight DDR5's impact on modern PC gaming performance.

We have tested almost every game in our collection on an Intel Arc GPU to determine how many titles work on Intel's discrete graphics architecture and what kind of experience you can expect.

Upscaling technologies continue to improve every year, and today we'll be looking at five games updated to use AMD FSR 3.1 to compare against the latest in Nvidia DLSS 3.7 and Intel XeSS 1.3.

Soon we'll see the arrival of AMD's Zen 5-based Ryzen 9000 CPUs, but in the meantime we've updated all our CPU benchmark data to recap how the current Intel and AMD generations played out.

Graphics card memory, or VRAM, has been a hot topic of discussion as of late because we're not getting enough of it. Here's our latest testing of GPUs and VRAM capacity at 8GB, 12GB and 16GB.

How much RAM do gamers need? It's a question we get asked a lot, and it's one we used to answer yearly with a good old-fashioned benchmark review. Here's our latest update.

Did you know that AMD's old Zen 3 CPUs released back in 2019 are actually faster for gaming than Intel's latest Raptor Lake architecture? It's true, and AMD has the graphs to prove it.

In this comprehensive shootout comparing AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Intel's Core i9-14900K, we explore Intel's Extreme and Performance profiles, stability issues, and their impact on gaming performance.

"Why doesn't Intel develop their own kind of 3D V-Cache?" It's a thought-provoking question, especially given how beneficial 3D V-Cache has been for AMD Ryzen chips. Let's benchmark and check that out.

There are plenty of fast 6-core gaming CPUs that outperform relatively new 8, 10, 12, and even 16-core chips. In this article we'll show you some interesting comparisons using different GPUs and gaming settings.
