The web is awash with reports that Nvidia may have sold US$175 million of GPUs to crypto miners. If true this would have a significant knock-on effect that hurt supplies of graphics cards for gamers. This leads to the inescapable conclusion that you are unable to buy an RTX 3080 …

Leo recently sat through an Intel briefing relating to benchmarking laptops and focusing on performance both with and without the power adapter connected. Throughout, Intel was keen to highlight the AMD drops performance by a higher percentage in their own testing. Luke and Leo discuss this briefing and wonder why Intel is so keen to publicise AMD's weaknesses rather than focusing on its own strengths.

Ryzen 5000 has launched and both Luke and Leo are impressed by the performance offered up by the chips. Some of AMD's pricing decisions seem a bit bizarre, though, and have let Intel back into the picture with some of their ageing refined 14nm processors. Let's discuss Ryzen 5000, Zen 3, Intel competition, and more availability woes.

With Black Friday officially upon us, we break down some of our favourite PC gaming peripheral deals.

Leo is loving life with his AMD RX 6800 XT graphics card to go alongside his liquid cooled Nvidia RTX 3080. Is he the luckiest graphics card enthusiast around by having managed to bag both cards? And what is exactly is going on with supply? Let's have a discussion...

Until now, QHD high refresh rate displays were usually associated with desktop PCs, but it seems Eluktronics is about to change that. The company has announced the world's first QHD 165Hz laptops, offering "the most crisp and snappy experience out of any laptop on the market".

Khronos Group's alternative to DXR is almost here, as Vulkan Ray Tracing gets its final specifications detailed ahead of release next month.

We recently got our first look at the ray tracing requirements for Cyberpunk 2077, although there's no mention of AMD GPUs. CD Projekt Red's Global Community Lead, Marcin Momot, has now confirmed that ray tracing won't be supported on AMD cards at release...

At the end of October I showed you the Palit RTX 3080 graphics card I had recently bought and then I told you I was also going to buy an AMD Big Navi. That decision was based purely on AMD’s marketing material so as you might imagine, I was waiting with keen interest for Dominic’s reviews of Big Navi to land!

AMD has just launched the Radeon RX 6800 XT and it's already breaking world records. The widely known extreme overclocker Alva Jonathan aka "LUCKY_NOOB" has set a new world record for the 3DMark Firestrike using a reference design Radeon RX 6800 XT.

This month, we have teamed up with BOX and Seagate to give KitGuru readers a chance to win a bundle of new hardware. This includes a new PCIe 4.0 SSD, an AMD Ryzen processor and a Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD for mass storage. 

One of the biggest changes arriving with the PlayStation 5 is the increase in the standard price for some games from $60 to $70. This has created an even bigger jump in some markets such as the UK, which has seen the price of games such as Demon’s Souls go for £70 (~$92). In a recent interview, PlayStation’s CEO called this price ‘fair’ relative to “hours of entertainment provided.”

Following the announcement that Nvidia is developing a Smart Access Memory alternative, AMD has released a statement sharing new information about its technology. According to the company, Smart Access Memory won't be supported on older hardware, but AMD is welcoming other hardware vendors to use it.

As the release of the Radeon RX 6000 series comes closer, leaks and early details have begun frequently coming out. This time, it's regarding the overclocking potential of the Radeon RX 6800, which should also extend to the Radeon RX 6800XT and the RX 6900XT.

With AMD entering the ray-tracing capable GPU market this month, there has been some confusion around what games will be supported and whether or not previous RTX-supported titles are using proprietary technology for ray-tracing. Fortunately, Nvidia has begun clearing the air. 

If you are looking to pick up a new laptop at the moment, then it is worth shopping around as many retailers and laptop makers are doing early Black Friday deals this year. MSI is one of them, with five popular laptop models discounted early for November.

A new report suggests that Nvidia will launch the RTX 3080Ti in January 2021. The alleged specifications of this new SKU have already been leaked, and based on them, it will rival the AMD Radeon RX 6900XT.
