[ad_1] AMD’s Radeon RX 6750 XT was billed as the GPU which offered the greatest chance of delivering a tangible performance uplift over its forebear. Though, like the Radeon RX 6950 XT (opens in new tab), all I’m seeing is a factory-overclocked version of the previous card with a higher MSRP and heartier appetites. Don’t…

[ad_1] AMD made a big thing this generation about being the performance per watt champions for PC gamers. And indeed is making those same claims going forward into its RDNA 3 era. But the last hurrah for RDNA 2—with this RX 6950 XT as its final flagship—flies in the face of all that efficiency bravado.…

[ad_1] There’s a very good chance that GPU you bought second-hand from some desperate erstwhile crypto miner will work fine. Mining ethereum 24 hours a day doesn’t actually put a lot of undue stress on the graphics silicon, particularly as a lot of them will be underclocked to reduce the power draw. That doesn’t mean…

[ad_1] I know it ain’t fashionable, but I actually like VR. My Quest 2 (opens in new tab) is hanging right next to my monitor, and I’ve almost finished Half-Life: Alyx (opens in new tab) just two years after launch. Yet I am far from convinced in the metaverse as a tangible concept in my…

[ad_1] The NZXT Streaming PC series is designed to capture the appetite for game streaming and offer people a simple pre-built system to make all their Twitch celebrity dreams come true. Okay, that’s maybe promising too much on NZXT’s behalf there, but the basic idea is to create a range of PCs that will game…

[ad_1] The best office chair looks sleek and is comfortable to sit in for hours at a time. You don’t want your office chair to give in, and you want it to be as convenient as possible. If the best office chairs are good enough for high-paid execs to sit in for hours on end,…

[ad_1] If you want power, this extreme PC build has it. It has no limits, and can run any game at 4K with maxed out settings. It’s the kind of computer where you throw all of our favorites at it. From the best CPU for gaming, to the best graphics card. Combine everything into one…

[ad_1] Don’t panic, the folk at CERN aren’t hurling graphics cards into one another beneath Switzerland to see what happens when GPU particles collide. They’re actually using Nvidia’s graphics silicon to cut down the amount of energy it needs to compute what happens when the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) collides other stuff.  Particles and things.…
