A faster GPU isn't always a better upgrade for an older PC. We test the RTX 5060, RTX 5070, and RX 9060 XT across four CPUs to see how processor limitations can turn GPU rankings upside down.

Two generations apart, AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 7900 XTX are surprisingly close. We benchmark 51 games to see where RDNA 4 pulls ahead, where RDNA 3 holds on, and which GPU makes more sense.

Nvidia's new DLSS 5 model nearly doubles neural rendering speed across the RTX 50 series. We put it to the test to see if the performance gains outweigh the heavy FPS penalty and lingering visual issues.

Shader compilation stutter has plagued PC gaming for years, causing frustrating hitches even on powerful hardware. The SCSKiller app promises to do something about it, but does it work?

Can a Radeon RX 9070 XT really beat Nvidia's flagship RTX 5090? We tested 11 games at 1440p and 4K to see when driver overhead matters, and when an ordinary CPU bottleneck is actually to blame.

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.

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.

DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction delivers sharper upscaling, cleaner ray-traced effects, and far fewer artifacts, all while maintaining virtually the same performance across every RTX generation.

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.
