With the new RTX 3000 cards finally out in the open, we can now make some proper decisions about which graphics card deals are going to be worth snapping up over the next few weeks as retailers look to shed their existing stock of Nvidia RTX cards, and which ones you should avoid like the […]

After yesterday’s kerfuffle over World Of Warcraft: Shadowlands’ PC requirements listing an SSD as the minimum type of storage supported, Blizzard have now updated the game’s minimum requirements to include good old-fashioned HDDs as well. In their updated support article on the subject, the storage entry for WOW’s Shadowlands expansion now includes both SSDs and […]

Late last month, Asus announced that their first 360Hz gaming monitor, the ROG Swift PG259QN, was coming this September for £629 / $699, and now it’s going to be joined by a load more from Acer, Alienware and MSI. All of them are going to be full-fat G-Sync monitors, and they’re all going to employ […]

Official images of third party Nvidia RTX 3000 cards show that the unusual dual axial fan and 12-pin power connector design shown off during last night’s reveal will only be found on the Nvidia Founders Editions of each card. The double-sided fans of the RTX 3070, RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 are arguably one of […]

Hot off the heels of last night’s reveal, we also got new ray tracing trailers for Cyberpunk 2077, Minecraft, Watch Dogs Legion, and the newly announced Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. I’ve collected them altogether below, but the Cyberpunk 2077 one is particularly shiny, if only because it’s a new “max settings 4K […]

If the comparatively low prices of the new RTX 3000 graphics cards weren’t already enough to tempt you into upgrading your GPU this year, then Nvidia’s freshly-announced RTX 3000 bundle will no doubt sweeten the deal further. I mean, RTX 2080 Ti-level performance for £469 / $499 on the RTX 3070 is already a tantalising […]

The number of confirmed ray tracing and DLSS games is still pretty small at time of writing, but today’s big reveal added another key addition to the slowly growing line-up: Fortnite. I’m not entirely sure why, given its art style largely consists of big, blocky worlds and colourful cartoon characters, but hey, if you’ve been […]

Nvidia’s RTX 3000 series of next-gen graphics cards are official. After unveiling their new Ampere GPU architecture back in May, Nvidia have finally lifted the lid on the RTX 3070, RTX 3080 and their Titan-class RTX 3090 GPUs, detailing their specs, price and release date in their online GeForce event. Here’s everything you need to […]

Intel’s Gamer Days deals continue this week with discounts aplenty across a whole range of retailers, and the next one I wanted to highlight is this gaming desktop deal from Scan UK. They’ve currently slashed £150 off their 3XS Arctic Evo RTX PC, taking this normally £1650 desktop down to £1500. Inside, you get one […]

World Of Warcraft ‘s Shadowlands expansion is getting a formal release on October 27th, but Blizzard’s recently updated PC requirements for the game have been causing quite a stink among its player base. While the minimum CPU and GPU requirements haven’t changed all that much, the minimum storage requirement now seems to imply that you […]
