Nvidia really cannot keep a secret, can it? Yes, in a surprise to absolutely no-one, CES brings us the new GeForce RTX 40-series Super cards. The Ada Lovelace architecture refresh has been rumoured for a long while now, and here it is, either offering a little more performance for either the same sticker price, or…
AMD has kicked off 2024 for its Radeon line-up of graphics cards with the RX 7600 XT, sporting 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM and minor boosts to the GPU’s clock speed. It’s still using the same Navi 33 graphics chip as in the original Radeon RX 7600, so there are no additional shaders or memory controllers,…
It’s been nearly three years since AMD launched its last desktop APU series, but now the all-in-one CPU+budget GPU chips are back with a bang in the form of the 8000G series. The new range covers four models, all of them using the Zen 4 CPU and RDNA 3 GPU architectures. The best GPU is…
Nvidia is going after AMD with its own CES 2024 event, but at least it’s not wrapping the entire thing up in a cloak of AI-ness. Instead, it’s calling this a “Special Address” in which we are being told it will “focus on consumer technologies and robotics.” So far, so vague. But, let’s be honest,…
Activision-Blizzard has been the centre of a lot of controversy over these past few years.

You know what wireless headsets need? That’s right, near infinite battery life, and we’re one step closer to that goal with 3M’s solar powered comms headset which has just been announced at CES this week. While there’s a tendency for those of us in the PC gaming space to see CES as a place to…
Final Fantasy 14’s third and final Fan Festival of the Endwalker expansion just took place in Tokyo over the weekend. While there was a surprise lack of release date for upcoming expansion Dawntrail, we did get to see tons of neat stuff: female hrothgar, artsy class Pictomancer, and a bizarro cyberpunk world that has me…
Hewlett Packard is kicking off 2024 with all new Spectre x360 14- and 16-inch, and Omen Transcend 14-inch laptops. And since they’re all powered by Intel’s latest Meteor Lake processors, AI is a major feature in every model. But that won’t mean Windows Copilot is in charge of it all, as HP feels cloud-based AI…
Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail is meant to be a narrative reset. Considering Endwalker had us travelling to the edge of the universe on an actual spaceship to throw hands with nihilism incarnate and save… well, everything? It’s warranted. Director and producer Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) has called it “the very best summer vacation a hero could…
