After 30 months and 8,000 hours of deliberate abuse, our 4K QD-OLED monitor has measurable burn-in, lower peak brightness, and visible wear. Here's how bad it looks in daily use.

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.

We tested 11 budget 1440p QD-OLED gaming monitors to find the best buys, comparing full- and limited-brightness panels, features, design, and pricing to see which models are actually worth it.

QR codes were built to track car parts, written off as a gimmick, then rescued by phone cameras. Now they're everywhere. Here's how they work, what's changed, and what to watch out for.

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.

GPU pricing has become so absurd that the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB now costs as much as the RX 9070 XT. We benchmarked both across 52 games to see just how ridiculous the gap has become.

AMD's Radeon RX 9050 4GB shares a name with the faster 8GB model, but half the VRAM and memory bandwidth make this OEM-only GPU a far worse deal than buyers may realize.

Jev doesn't chat, write code, or explain itself. It just makes decisions, fast and cheap. Here's why a ChatGPT co-inventor thinks that's the next big step for AI.

Before phones went online, Nokia made two that didn't need to. The 5110 and 3310 gave us Snake, swappable covers, and a durability myth that outlived the company that built them.

GPU prices are climbing again, but not equally. Across 10 countries, Radeon now delivers far better value than GeForce in most price tiers, while Nvidia's lineup struggles to stay competitive.

Lenovo's Legion 9i Gen 10 is a monster 18-inch laptop with desktop-class performance, a superb 240Hz display, and premium build quality. It's also one of the most expensive laptops we've tested.

The Alienware AW3926QW pairs a 39-inch 5K2K OLED with RGB stripe clarity, strong HDR, and a price that makes LG's rival look far less appealing.

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.

I can't code, but with AI agents I built native iPhone ports of Duke Nukem, Serious Sam, and Morrowind, learning where vibecoding works, where it fails, and why human direction still matters.

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.

GPU prices are rising sharply again, with GeForce cards taking the biggest hit. We tracked prices across 10 countries to see which GPUs are getting more expensive and where value remains, if any.

The Windows built-in uninstaller handles the basics, but these tools go much further with batch removal, leftover cleanup, installation tracking, and options for stubborn or broken apps.

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.

AMD is launching a 4GB GPU in 2026, so we revisited the Radeon RX 6500 XT to see how 4GB and 8GB versions compare in modern games. The results are predictably ugly.

Samsung's Odyssey G80HS combines a razor-sharp 6K 165Hz display with a 3K 330Hz dual mode, promising the best of productivity and gaming, but its hefty sticker price comes with compromises.

AMD is bringing 4GB graphics cards back in 2026. We tested the Radeon RX 6500 XT across 12 modern games to see what that means for buyers, and the results are every bit as bad as we feared all along.
