PC Gaming
I have just clambered to the top of a beautiful ivy-covered tower so I can get a better look at my surroundings, a stunning vista bathed in the warm light of a perfect summer’s day. Fiery monsters have torched a patch of earth in the distance, setting off a few volatile plants nearby. I should…
The biggest game of 2025, if it doesn’t get delayed, is undoubtedly going to be Grand Theft Auto 6: We’ve had a trailer but little else from Rockstar, even though Take-Two’s CEO says the game’s on-track for “fall” (though who knows when we’ll see the PC version). And gamers abhor a vacuum, so GTA fans…
The idea of a properly modular, easily upgradable PC is nothing new. After all, Framework has built a business on modular laptops. But it hasn’t gained widespread currency. Maybe now it will thanks to a new modular PC push from none other than Intel. In a blog post last week, Intel bigged up the idea…
DeepSeek, the new Chinese AI chatbot, has had a major effect on the AI landscape (and the stock market) thanks to how efficient it is, and the fact it’s open source. However, as someone who cares more about PC gaming and how the AI can work for me, I decide to test it only way…
I didn’t think there was much room for more ‘world’s firsts’ in the world of gaming keyboards, especially since we’ve seen some ridiculous innovations in just the last few years. Everything from an 8000 Hz polling rate to Hall effect key switches that have adjustable actuation points and rapid trigger have become the gold standard…
After a rough 2024 that saw development briefly put “on hold” and then resumed a few months later, Fallout: Nuevo Mexico, an ambitious Fallout: New Vegas mod that promised to turn players loose amidst the irradiated wasteland of New Mexico just five years after the events of the original Fallout, has been cancelled. “This project…
In case you weren’t aware, Patch 8 of Baldur’s Gate 3—which is adding 12 whole new subclasses—accidentally got released on the PlayStation 5 for a bit, yesterday. It’s since been pulled, and Larian recommends rolling back the patch if you did manage to install it, but that’s not stopped theorycrafters from digging into the new…
Sometimes you feel a bit spoilt in this job. While it’s no easy task sorting through the mountains of marketing fluff and specs sheets on the daily, you do end up getting your hands on some lovely equipment, some of it priced well beyond your own means. This isn’t to boast, merely to say that…
China’s new DeepSeek R1 language model has been shaking things up by reportedly matching or even beating the performance of established rivals including OpenAI while using far fewer GPUs. Nvidia’s response? R1 is “excellent” news that proves the need for even more of its AI-accelerating chips. If you’re thinking the math doesn’t immediately add up,…
It isn’t just mice and keyboards that have received the Elite treatment with NZXT’s latest run of peripherals, as the brand-new Capsule Elite microphone proves. This is another market sector that’s seen quite the explosion in terms of products in the last couple of years with the likes of the Logitech Yeti GX and the…
