GPU prices have finally cooled, DDR5 has spiked, and AMD's new Threadripper opens fresh pro power. Here are five builds for every budget - mix and match to fit your needs.

Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070 and AMD's Radeon RX 9070 are going head to head at the same price. We benchmark both with DLSS 4 and FSR 4 to see which mid-range GPU delivers the stronger gaming experience.

Battlefield 6 has arrived, and we've put it through an exhaustive benchmark: 43 GPUs, three resolutions, two presets, plus DLSS, FSR, and image quality testing. Here's how it performs.

AMD's next big move could bring FSR 4 to older GPUs. We test the leaked INT8 build to see how it performs on RDNA 2 and RDNA 3, and whether it can match the image quality of full FSR 4.

Intel's Arc B580 finally hit $250, undercutting rivals like the RTX 5060 and 9060 XT. With 12GB VRAM vs. their 8GB, it's a budget gamer's win – if Intel's lingering CPU overhead issue holds up.

We compare four generations of $300 GeForce and Radeon GPUs to see how budget gaming has evolved, from crypto-fueled chaos to today's AI-driven market, and which card delivers the best value now.

A year after Zen 5's debut, we revisit AMD's Ryzen 9800X3D vs 7800X3D to see if the premium is worth it. With new GPUs and updates, has performance shifted or is the older chip still the smarter buy?

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 blends sleek design, portability, and power with an RTX 5080 GPU and stunning OLED display. But does it deliver enough to justify the premium price?

Borderlands 4 is here, and performance is rough. Even the mighty RTX 5090 struggles to hit 60 fps at 4K. We tested GPU performance across presets to see just how brutal this game really is.

We spent months testing and gathering data on 23 affordable AMD B850 motherboards. Here's our roundup of the best budget options and how they perform.

We tested AMD and Nvidia's latest 8GB GPUs and found major performance issues when compared to their 16GB counterparts. Here's how they hold up under real-world, VRAM-intensive conditions.

AMD's Threadripper 9000 series pushes Zen 5 to the extreme, with up to 64 cores and sky-high specs. We review the HEDT 9970X and 9980X – powerful, pricey, and not for the faint of budget.

Comparing the RTX 5060 Ti and RX 9060 XT 16GB, we benchmark performance with DLSS 4 and FSR 4 across multiple upscaling modes to see which GPU delivers the best real-world gaming experience.

AOC is back with the Q27G40XMN, a budget 1440p gaming monitor that upgrades HDR with more dimming zones and wider color. It follows a fan favorite, but is it truly better?

After months of testing and tracking down nearly every Radeon RX 9070 XT model, we're finally ready to compare 14 cards in detail, covering gaming, thermals, and value to help you find the best options.

Let's put four generations of AMD Radeon GPUs to the test to see how the $300 segment has evolved over the past five years. From the 5600 XT to the new 9060 XT 8GB, here's how they stack up.

What has Nvidia delivered over the past six years? We've tested the mainstream RTX 2060, 3060, 4060, and new 5060 across modern games to find out how far the 60-class GPU lineup has actually come.

Nvidia's RTX 5050 launched with no reviews, no benchmarks, and barely any availability. It's their latest GPU release – and once again, you're expected to buy blind. But we've tested it, so you don't have to.

MSI's MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50 is the first 500Hz QD-OLED monitor we've tested, offering not just extreme speed but also higher brightness and new dimming tech. All at a lower price than rivals.

Medion's Erazer Beast 16 X1 Ultimate is a powerful, creator-grade gaming laptop with an RTX 5080, Intel Ultra 9 chip, 300Hz mini-LED display, and the bold design to match its beastly name.

We test how PCIe bandwidth impacts 8 GB GPUs like Nvidia's RTX 5060 when VRAM is exceeded and fall back to RAM. Let's see how bandwidth plays a major role in avoiding severe performance drops.

The Nintendo Switch 2's display has sparked some criticism for poor motion and questionable HDR. We ran our own tests to see how it stacks up, and found some surprising (and not so flattering) results.

The 8GB RX 9060 XT looks like a solid budget GPU - until you actually game on it. Limited VRAM turns it into a performance liability, especially for players hoping to future-proof their systems.

Dell's new Alienware AW3425DW refines a fan-favorite ultrawide gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate, sleek new design, and competitive $800 price – without straying from its proven QD-OLED formula.

AMD's Radeon 9060 XT offers solid performance with 16GB of VRAM (but not with half that amount), but a confusing dual-version launch – mirroring Nvidia's past missteps – raises serious concerns for gamers in 2025.
