In the late 1970s, Mattel developed a gaming system called Intellivision to compete against the equally legendary Atari 2600. Both systems would leave a lasting impression on the history of console gaming.

In this GPU analysis, we look back across the last 4 generations of graphics cards to illustrate exactly why this generation has underperformed – and by how much – showing what each GPU should have cost.

The Dell Alienware AW3225QF uses one of the latest 32-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED panels, which brings with it 0.03ms response times, per pixel local dimming, true HDR, and adaptive sync support.

Gone are the days when the sole function for a graphics chip were, graphics. Let's explore how the GPU evolved from a modest pixel pusher into a blazing powerhouse of floating-point computation.

A lot has been said about 8GB GPUs over the past year, in part thanks to our own testing. In comparing 4GB vs 8GB VRAM we hope to get a glimpse into the future dynamics between 8GB and 16GB configurations.

Let us introduce you to 20 hidden indie gems you haven't heard of, but fully deserve your attention. These are all impressive games that never got the chance to dance under the bright lights.

In this article, we'll take a look at how L3 cache capacity affects gaming performance. More specifically, we'll be examining AMD's Zen 3-based Ryzen processors in a "for science" type of feature.

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.

Portable flash memory has never been more versatile, and you will be pleasantly surprised by the widespread availability of high-speed, large-capacity microSD and SD cards these days. In this guide, we explain all the speed classes, plus give you handy buying recommendations.

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.

The Asus ROG Swift PG32UCDM is one of the highly anticipated gaming displays to launch in 2024, sporting a larger 32-inch 4K panel at 240Hz, plus the per-pixel local dimming functionality of OLED.

In advance of Intel's first event dedicated to their Foundry business, I had the opportunity to sit down one-on-one with CEO Pat Gelsinger and talk about the company's strategic goals.

For the return of our monthly GPU pricing updates, we took a short break to review the newcomers and see where everything settled. We're in store for a bumper episode as there's much to discuss.

In testing the Ryzen 7 5700, we feel we've stumbled upon a product that is borderline scammy, or is at best anti-consumer. But maybe we're overreacting, so let's take a look and see what you think.

Having reviewed the Nvidia RTX 4090 Laptop GPU and taken a comprehensive look at how it fares in the laptop market, let's see how it compares against the similarly-named but much more powerful RTX 4090 desktop part.

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.

Here's a confession: I've never liked the idea of a standing desk. However, if there's one desk that could convince me to get off my butt, the Secretlab Magnus Pro could very well be it.

The AOC 24G4 is a solid entry-level 1080p gaming monitor that improves upon its popular predecessor in notable areas. It's also slightly faster and slightly cheaper at just $150 in some markets.

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.

To make sense of SSD pricing trends, we've selected some of the most popular SSDs across three different capacities and analyzed how their average prices on Amazon have fluctuated over the last year.

At a high level, JPEG is a lossy image compression technique. What you may not realize is that achieving this required a fascinating blend of human perception, elegant signal processing, and clever engineering prowess.

Let's begin with a visual challenge: What are the colors of the tiles marked as A and B in the image?

The Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 features a 49-inch 5120 x 1440 resolution panel, the equivalent of two 27-inch 2560 x 1440 monitors stitched together into a big super-ultrawide with a 32:9 aspect ratio.
