011 mins

The Asus ROG Swift PG27UCDM is the brand’s self-proclaimed “world’s first” of its kind—a 27-inch 4K OLED panel with a 240 Hz refresh rate. The irony isn’t lost on me that our own Jeremy published his review of the MSI MPG272URX before this one, but that’s neither here nor there. Suffice it to say, this…

Feature: Stray Producer Talks Cats, Contrast, And Finding “The Sweet Spot Between Fun And Good-Looking”

01 mins

“Cats are amazing animals”. Stray caught everyone a little by surprise when it first leapt onto PlayStation consoles back in 2022.

AMD’s tiny FSR 3 update aims to improve upscaling quality but also lays the foundation for adding Redstone AI tech to games

05 mins

Software updates usually only grab news headlines when it’s a major new version, bringing something special or different for users to enjoy. So a minor revision by AMD to its FSR toolkit wouldn’t normally be of note, but this one is actually special, despite the fractional change in version number. With this update, FSR will…

Put down the frog: There’s no need to do anything rash.
