AMD has introduced a new feature for its latest driver release, Radeon Crimson Edition 16.10.1, that will be of benefit to anyone running more than one AMD graphics card. It's called Frame Pacing and when DirectX 12 games can take advantage of it, it should make the overall experience much …

KitGuru was recently given the chance to fire some questions over to AMD's Scott Wasson on the topic of frame pacing for multi-GPU (mGPU) configurations using DirectX 12.

Although there's no denying that Nvidia's Pascal cards hold the performance crown right now, it's hard to argue that the RX 480 isn't one of the best bang for buck cards around. So if you need an upgrade to a GPU that's VR ready and operates cool and quiet, we …

Back at the end of July, we learned that Nvidia had officially settled the class action lawsuit over the GTX 970 and its advertised amount of VRAM. It has taken a little while but now those affected will be able to claim their piece of the settlement, giving all eligible …
