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.

The Dell Alienware AW2726DM makes OLED gaming more accessible than ever with its aggressive $350 price point, while still delivering excellent motion clarity, deep contrast, and 240Hz refresh rates.

Here We Go Again, or: Why GPU Bottlenecks Hide True CPU Performance.
Gamers keep demanding 1440p CPU benchmarks, but higher resolutions often hide the very performance differences CPU testing is supposed to reveal. Here's why 1080p still matters most.

From affordable 34-inch LCDs to flagship 45-inch OLEDs, these are the best ultrawide gaming monitors you can buy right now, tested and recommended by us.

AMD finally delivers dual 3D V-Cache on Zen 5 with the 9950X3D2, but does twice the cache translate into real gains? We test performance, power, and value to see if this flagship makes sense.

Four years on, we revisit the Ryzen 7 5800X3D vs Core i9-12900K with modern games and DDR4 vs DDR5 configs. The result: still neck and neck, but memory choice now makes a real difference.

AMD's Ryzen 5 5500X3D extends AM4's life once again, but is it worth it? We tested 14 games to see how this cut-down 3D V-Cache chip stacks up against Zen 3, older Ryzen parts, and newer CPUs.

We tested nine RTX 5070 Ti cards and found consistent performance throughout. The problem isn't which model to buy - it's whether any of them make sense at today's prices.

Intel's Core Ultra 7 270K Plus pushes beyond the 250K Plus with more cores and cache for $300. It costs more, but could be a strong value for high-end productivity workloads.

Thanks to its class-leading hardware and software, the Apple iPad lineup has long been the go-to tablet recommendation for most people, but now let us guide you on which model is the best for you.

Intel's Core Ultra 5 250K Plus fixes what the 200 series got wrong, delivering blistering productivity performance and competitive gaming at $200, making it one of Intel's most compelling budget CPUs yet.

Got a budget for your next gaming monitor? We've tested the best options from $150 to $1,500 and picked the top choice at every price point - no fluff, just clear recommendations that make buying easy.

MSI's RTX 5090 Lightning Z is a limited-run halo product built without practical constraints. We test its thermals, power draw, and performance to see what's possible at the extreme end of GPU design.

With DDR5 prices quadrupling as AI demand drains supply, we tested CXMT Chinese RAM to see how it stacks up against premium and budget kits in gaming.

Cherry's MX 8.2 Pro TMR is its first magnetic keyboard using tunnel magnetoresistance tech instead of Hall Effect, promising ultra-fast wireless performance and rare hot-swap support for mechanical switches.

AMD's Ryzen 7 9850X3D promises the fastest gaming performance yet, with higher clocks and a small price bump. But does it deliver real gains, or is it just more hype?

Nvidia DLSS 4.5 arrives with a new transformer model promising better image quality, but not without performance trade-offs. We test DLSS 4.5 vs DLSS 4 to see where this latest upscaler genuinely improves.

We revisit the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and 5700X3D to see how they hold up in modern games, updating our benchmarks and comparing them against today's CPUs across multiple generations.

DDR5 pricing has pushed gamers back to AMD's AM4 platform. With Zen 3D chips gone, CPUs like the 5600X, 5700X, and 5800XT are resurging, so we retested them across 14 games.

We once told people to avoid the Ryzen 5 5500. Years later, it's a top-selling CPU. With DDR5 prices spiraling, has this budget Zen 3 chip become the right choice after all?

Almost no one asked for it, but curiosity won out. We're taking a close look at Intel's Core Ultra 5 225F – a locked, budget-focused CPU that's been quietly sitting on shelves for nearly a year.

Which $250 GPU is the better buy: Nvidia's RTX 5050 or Intel's Arc B580? We compare performance, upscaling quality, and VRAM limits to find out.

One of last year's standout gaming stories was the rise of indie hits, proving that while game dev budgets balloon, spectacle matters less than how fun a game is to play.

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.
