You can’t convince me otherwise; SSDs are the only technological arena right now that doesn’t feel stagnant. It’s that one component that constantly bucks the trend in terms of continually advancing onwards and upwards. Yes, there are costly technologies leveraged every year, and flagship drives are ripping up the rulebook every two and a half…
Getting hold of raw hard data about how well graphics cards are selling is hard to find. German store Mindfactory is one of the few that provides such data, but few other retailers do. However, one user on X regularly provides Amazon’s GPU sales figures, and they’re back with a snapshot of what got added…

But, regardless, I’d argue it’s one of Monolith Production’s more fascinating projects. Released in the year 2000 for Windows PCs, the 3D top-down action RPG was part of…

Couching the expensive little Framework Desktop as “a DIY gaming rig without the pain” isn’t necessarily doing this mighty-but-tiny justice. It’s not a gaming PC, that chip isn’t a gaming chip; AMD folk have said that to us explicitly. Especially not when you can build a small form factor gaming rig for at least $1,000…
