PC Gaming

In the world of CPUs, GPUs, and all things chip-based, patent applications are so frequent that there’s little point in paying attention to them. However, one filing from Intel has made its way into tech news headlines because it offers a clever way to improve a CPU’s performance-per-watt efficiency. It also suggests that Intel’s hybrid…

It’s no secret that I enjoy an aesthetic brand collaboration for PC gaming accessories. They often add a bit of colour and a design touch we’d normally don’t get to see. When most peripherals come in black, white, camo, and maybe pink, anything else is a welcome change. But sometimes we get an especially cool…

Final Fantasy 14‘s patch 7.31 releases today—and while you can usually set your watch to these updates (we’ve known there’d be a new relic weapon step and a new cosmic exploration planet for a while), it’s always nice when Square actually does something surprising. Tucked away in the patch notes, Creative Studio 3 has majorly…

Fool that I am, I actually got my hopes up when Embracer Group acquired the rights to Deus Ex. Not because I’m a massive mark for the consolidation of capital, but because it talked a big game about wanting to make a whole bunch of Deus Ex stuff, in contrast to previous owner Square Enix….

Finding a use for the Shark Fin in Path of Exile 2‘s Act 4 might be a little challenging considering how few clues you’re given to its purpose. It’s a little similar to the Golden Idol or Sacrificial Heart in Act 3, where you find them and have to then work out their use, but…

Well, you heard it here first: Nvidia admits AI models generally lack “common sense.” I mean, obviously this is far from some earth-shattering revelation—anyone with eyes on this news story knows not to put glue in their pizza sauce, but that hasn’t stopped Google’s AI overview from suggesting you add a dollop to make it…

Sometimes, we pay a little more for a full-on rig, rather than paying for parts separately, but I’ve never heard of paying a ten times markup. A former mayor of a city in the Philippines has been accused of doing such a thing, putting down nearly $175,000 for 16 PCs (with mice and keyboards) plus…

It’s wild to think how influential Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions was. The actually pretty good videogame from 2010 gave us a meeting of four alternate Spider-Mans, though that wasn’t enough for one its writers, Dan Slott, who thought it would be better with all of them. That inspired him to write the crossover Spider-Verse, which in…

Scroll on down to our hints for today’s Wordle if you need a bit of help today. Use them nice and early to sidestep problems before they ever arise, or save them for when you’re knee-deep in yellow letters and running out of rows. Either way, they’ll make sure you start seeing more greens. The…

If you’ve played an MMO for very long, you’ve almost certainly heard the siren song of the private server. These fan-operated servers come in all varieties—some keep dead games alive, some provide a window to a past build of an aging game, and some have even gotten the green light to keep going from the…
