Leo's secret admirer also makes a guest appearance...

Bungie has tried to reinvent the 'Destiny' experience many times over the years to varying degrees of success. When Bungie first introduced the seasonal content model, it felt like things were heading in the right direction, but over time, we came to realise that those early seasons weren't building up to the big story moments many players were hoping for. That is all finally starting to change this year, with Season of the Lost and The Witch Queen expansion showing signs of living up to the ambitious promises Bungie sold us on all those years ago.

But is it true?

This week on KitGuru Games we’re looking ahead to the future.

The recently released AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is aimed at gamers looking for a mid-range GPU, but according to some tests, it might also be very good for miners. As it seems, out-of-the-box mining performance isn't mind-blowing, but once we consider power consumption, it becomes the most efficient GPU for ETH mining on the market.

Following on from rumours last week, Nvidia officially announced the RTX A2000 graphics card today. The new workstation GPU is much smaller than the rest of the line-up, allowing it to fit in almost any system with a dedicated graphics card slot.
