32-bit implementations of PhysX, Nvidia’s physics engine, will finally lose support in RTX 50 series cards, in a move to remove 32-bit CUDA application support on its latest graphics cards. Removing PhysX support means that some games from the 2000s and early 2010s will lose part of the way they implement particle and clothing effects….
Back in January, we reported on a claim from LG that fully 22% of gaming monitors “sold today” are OLED panels. Now LG has put some numbers on that, explaining in a new press release that the market for OLED PC monitors will grow from just $75 million in 2022 to over $1 billion in…
The annual gaming harvest is upon us, with February bringing enough big releases to make us consider whether we could keep our homes warm using our gaming rigs.

Bad news folks: turns out Grand Theft Auto 3 could have been really cool. In a post on X, the Everything App (via GamesRadar), former Rockstar dev Obbe Vermeij has been reminiscing about his time on the era-defining third GTA, and recalls that—for a brief, shining moment—the game actually required you to obey traffic lights….
From a testing point of view, it’s been a busy couple of weeks with Avowed. I spent numerous hours running benchmark after benchmark with the review code that Obsidian Entertainment provided, and the results showed that Avowed’s PC performance is sometimes good, sometimes bad, but frequently odd. Now, after a week of being publicly available…
At first glance, you wouldn’t expect Avowed’s One Last Drink quest to be so head-scratching. After all, it marks the locations of each of the crew members you need to find on your map. If only it were that easy though, as Ruanga, Tauwe, and Kowha are much harder to track down than you’d think….
As far as Avowed’s hidden treasures go, the Practical Pockets treasure map is actually pretty simple if you take a second to read the quest description. This snack-loving Ranger stashed their favourite coat in Emerald Stair, though be prepared–it comes with a warning about crumbs and a cheesy stench. Not very pleasant, eh? Unfortunately, Rangers…

Fiddling around with locks to procure forbidden treasures is one of the little pleasures of a good open-world RPG, and Avowed is no exception. Obsidian’s shroomy RPG Avowed, which we really like here at…
