This is not the first time we're testing AMD's Radeon RX 7900 GRE (Golden Rabbit). That actually happened 6 months ago, but this is the first time you can actually buy it, and at a much lower price.

We compare the three X3D chips available on the AM4 platform: the Ryzen 5 5600X3D, Ryzen 7 5700X3D, and Ryzen 7 5800X3D to see which model offers the best value to PC gamers.

While higher resolution monitors are becoming more popular and we recommend them, 1080p continues to have the most usage among PC gamers. We take a look at DLSS upscaling vs native rendering at 1080p.

AMD's Ryzen 7 5700X3D, while technically new, is not really so. What we have here is binned silicon that couldn't be sold as a 5800X3D, but instead of throwing it away, it's been cut down and offered for just $250.

The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is super bizarrely named, but the specs look seriously great. We're talking 16GB of VRAM using AD103 silicon, indicating strong performance potential. But does it deliver?

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4070 Super is the first refreshed 'Super' GPU to be released. Based on specs, it should be ~20% faster than the 4070, at the same price, which sounds like a solid deal.

The Radeon 6500 XT was a weak product at launch. We predicted it'd become nearly unusable in the near future even at lowest settings. Some 18 months after release, how is it performing in today's games?

After reviewing CPUs throughout the year and revisiting the most interesting matchups post-launch, in this buying guide we put it all together to keep your CPU shopping as simple as possible.

It's time we take a fresh look at DDR4 vs DDR5 memory performance using the Core i9-14900K. We're benchmarking with fast DDR5-7200 and DDR4-4000 memory, noting that these days DDR5 is cheaper than DDR4.

It's not every day that we get to review a $5,000 CPU, so this should be fun. The Ryzen Threadripper 7980X and 7970X pack 64 and 32 cores, two new super-powerful chips part of AMD's latest HEDT lineup.

Today we're taking a look back at CPUs released in the last 4 to 5 years, the Ryzen 7 3700X and Core i9-9900K. There's a good reason (but not an obvious one) why we chose these two CPUs.

With the new Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty expansion, we're bringing you a fresh optimization guide that goes through every setting in the game to see how to best improve performance.

The Phantom Liberty update brings significant updates to Cyberpunk 2077, including DLSS 3.5, further graphics and hardware support enhancements. It's GPU benchmark time.

The Ryzen 5 7500F is AMD's most affordable Zen 4-based CPU, though it's still a bit of an elusive offering, in this review we'll be comparing it against its chief rival, the Intel Core i5-13400F.

In this 45 game benchmark shootout we put the $600 GeForce RTX 4070 and the $500 Radeon RX 7800 XT head-to-head to see which comes up as the ultimate mid-range GPU winner.

The Radeon RX 7700 XT is AMD's latest mid-range GPU targeting the $450 price point. However, even on paper we can anticipate a few issues with the new card.

Given that the Radeon 7800 XT mirrors the 6800 XT's performance, it's not particularly thrilling, especially after 3 years. But at just $500, the 7800 XT will likely become the go-to option for many.

Bethesda's latest RPG brings with it some space opera vibes and striking visuals. Let's take a look at Starfield's GPU performance by testing 32 GPUs using different quality presets, resolutions and FSR.
