Nvidia's in-house Lightspeed Studios has worked with several game developers in recent years to bring RTX features to various titles. During that time, this team has also created its own fully ray-traced remasters of games like Quake II and Minecraft. Next on the list is Portal RTX, which is officially launching in December. 

Looking to kickstart your own gaming livestream or YouTube channel? Then we have the perfect competition for you. This month, we are teaming up with AVerMedia to give away a Live Gamer Extreme 3 capture card, capable of recording footage at up to 4K resolution. 

Modern Warfare II (2022) represents the latest and greatest from Infinity Ward and Call of Duty, serving as a reimagining of this now 13-year-old game – offering the tried-and-true COD experience while evolving the player movement and controls in order to make it what I believe is the most mechanically perfect multiplayer FPS yet...

Sales season has begun, with Black Friday discounts now live for a wide range of products. If you happen to be shopping around for a new monitor, then there are more than a few good deals to be found!

In recent weeks, there has been growing evidence that Ubisoft plans to return to Steam. This week, Ubisoft confirmed exactly that, announcing plans to put games on the leading PC gaming platform once again, starting off with Assassin's Creed Valhalla. 

Nvidia has been investigating user reports of melting 12VHPWR connectors for a few weeks at this point. Through its own investigation last week, Gamers Nexus concluded that many of these cases are likely a mix of user error and design oversight. Now, Nvidia has followed up with a new statement on the matter, confirming it has received reports of 50 cases so far. 

There has been much discussion around the 12VHPWR adapter shipping with Nvidia's new RTX 40 series cards after a few users reported issues with the connector overheating. We've seen plenty of theories on the root cause and even a dissection of the adapter, but reproducing the issue was proving to be tricky. The team over at Gamers Nexus spent weeks looking into this and running failure tests, and now, the results are in. 

Following on from launch-day reviews yesterday, today the RTX 4080 graphics card officially becomes available to the public. The first retail listings have gone live and so far, the UK pricing situation is an interesting one, with custom cards starting at close to £1300, with the higher-end models going for £1650. 

Nvidia has had a run of bad luck with cybersecurity this year. Earlier in the year, a ransomware attack was carried out against Nvidia. Now, the company's Taiwan Twitter account has been breached and naturally, the hacker used this opportunity to run a crypto scam. 

While discourse surrounding Square Enix’s Marvel’s Avengers has long come and gone, the team at Crystal Dynamics have slowly but surely been improving the game with additional characters, missions and more. Following the inclusion of Jane Foster – aka The Mighty Thor – the next character being added has now been officially announced.

While AMD announced the RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT graphics cards earlier this month, we didn't get a ton of game benchmarks. Today, AMD has updated its press deck with new benchmarks, including the first in-game performance results for the upcoming RX 7900 XT. 

With the first AMD RDNA 3 products coming out in a month, AMD thought it was time to share more about the upcoming GPU architecture. That includes details about its chiplet design, physical structure, improved ray tracing and computing capabilities.

It has been a few weeks since Nvidia revealed that it is investigating reports of dodgy 12VHPWR adapters shipping with RTX 4090 graphics cards. We've seen plenty of investigation into the matter from the tech press, but Nvidia itself has remained silent since the investigation began. That changed this week with Nvidia releasing a statement on the matter...

Remedy created its best game yet with Control back in 2019. The studio has since shifted to working on Alan Wake 2, as well as a couple of other unannounced projects, putting a Control sequel on the back burner for a while. Now, Remedy has reached a new agreement with 505 Games for Control 2. 

The RTX 4080 is less than a week away from launch and sure enough, we are starting to see more benchmark leaks. Despite the considerable spec difference between the 4080 and 4090, some early gaming benchmarks show that the performance gap between the two GPUs might not be as large as anticipated in certain titles. 

While some years see multiple major FPS games launching in the holiday season, this year we only have two and funnily enough, both have come from Activision. In October, Overwatch 2 finally launched and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II arrived, delivering the largest opening weekend in COD history. Many of us only have a limited amount of time to sink into a game, so which one should you pick this holiday season? 

Following on from AMD’s big reveal of the RDNA 3 architecture and the new 7000 series GPUs, Dominic sat down with Leo to go over the announcement with a fine tooth comb. They talk performance, pricing, product positioning and much more... will AMD really kick Nvidia’s ass?!

Recent leaks have shown that Galax is working on an RTX 4090 HOF edition graphics card. Now ahead of launch, this very graphics card has been used to break a world record, with overclocker 'OGS' pushing the GPU to 3.7GHz. 

AMD has today announced its new RDNA 3 architecture and the Radeon RX 7000 series at an event in Las Vegas. Featuring the world's first chiplet-based gaming GPU, the company is launching two new graphics cards on December 13th - the RX 7900 XT at $899, alongside the flagship RX 7900 XTX at $999...

Square Enix has been talking about experimenting with blockchain technology and NFTs for quite some time and now, the publisher has announced its first 'Web3' game - Symbiogenesis, described as a 'collectable art project', which sounds ... not fun.

Sony has been slowly drip-feeding us details on the PlayStation VR2 since the start of the year. Over the summer, we finally got a step closer to launch with the announcement of the first PS VR2 games. Now, Sony has announced that the new headset will be available as of February 2023, but it will cost more than a PlayStation 5. 

AMD is set to unveil the first RDNA 3 graphics cards later this week, but we may already have a sneak peek at what's to come. New pictures claim to show the new AMD reference design cooler for the RX 7900 XT. 

We're still over two weeks away from the release of the RTX 4080 graphics cards, but some UK retailers have begun listing the new graphics card, giving us an early look at pricing. As things currently stand, it looks like the cheapest RTX 4080 graphics card will hit the market at £1,289. 

AMD announced it would host an event on November 3rd to reveal the first RDNA 3 graphics cards. However, while the announcement date is coming early in the month, actual availability will arrive later. According to one leaker, the RX 7900 series graphics cards will arrive in early December. 

After users reported melting and burning RTX 4090 12VHPWR adapters, Nvidia launched its own investigation into the matter. We've yet to have an update from them, but the main issue at hand here may have already been discovered thanks to a dissection of Nvidia's 12VHPWR adapter. Simply put, the 12VHPWR connector itself should be safe, but the adapter Nvidia is shipping with its new graphics cards can cause some big problems. 

CD Projekt Red learned a lot after making the first Witcher game. While that title is looked back on fondly by hardcore fans of the series, it is inaccessible to most due to never getting a console release, not to mention the outdated visuals and gameplay. Fortunately, CD Projekt Red is going back to its roots, announcing a full remake.
