We can surely all agree it’s a great pity that some otherwise decent modern GPUs are hobbled by a shortage of VRAM. I’m looking at you, Nvidia RTX 5060. So, what if there was a way to squeeze games into a much smaller memory footprint, without impacting image quality? Actually, there is, at least in…
I couldn’t even imagine being on a seventh playthrough of Elden Ring. I’m not only a slave to my own completionist desires, which can turn a simple task into an obsessive marathon. But I just don’t think I have what it takes to be stuck in what is essentially the world’s worst Groundhog Day; a…
The Gamakay x NaughShark NS68 seems to be marketed similarly to a lot of those ooky, dropshipped watches from brands that claim to be able to give you all the perks, craftsmanship, and features that the more premium brands give you for a significantly cut-price. Now, in reality, a lot of those brands are taking…
The newly announced AETHUS is a sci-fi survival game all about doing things differently, set on an alien planet ravaged by a mega corporation. The hook here is in carving your own path through the capitalist wreckage, building a different world, and forging a new kind of future. The planet has been exploited by the…
Dune: Awakening’s 1.1.0.15 patch makes a couple of notable changes to PvP, including a fix for the notorious goomba stomp meta where players were squishing each other with ornithopters. How did that work? Well, since players realized that ‘thopters take no damage from collisions with the environment, there was zero risk in repeatedly slamming the…
The PC Gamer hardware team has 60+ years of collective PC hardware-testing experience, and I’ve personally been at this for 20 years now. So, in our time we’ve had our hands on just about every important piece of tech that’s been released for our favourite gaming platform. And I think that puts us in a…
This feels like a weird nostalgia pull for a PC gaming site, but think back to the first time you really struggled in a Pokémon game—I bet the bleating of your caught companion’s dwindling health bar still makes your palms sweat. Well, it turns out Gemini starts to make questionable choices when its Pokémon team…
The Das Keyboard DeltaForce 65 is probably one of the most long-awaited keyboards in my possession. No, that isn’t a joke—I’ve been waiting to get my hands on it for the best part of a year since its initial announcement. Therefore, it comes with quite high expectations, and for good reason, too. Das has been…
When Doom: The Dark Ages launched back in May, developers id Software promised that it would add an extra graphics option in a later patch, specifically path tracing. The stompy-stompy shooter uses ‘normal’ ray tracing for all lighting, shadows, and reflections by default, and now that I’ve had a few days to explore the new…
It’s been about half a year since NetEase gave Storm a massive touch-up in Marvel Rivals. A somewhat temporary fix to players not touching the X-Men hero in Season 0, when Season 1 came around the devs simply made her too strong to resist. As part of these changes, Storm’s damage capability was increased, alongside…
