nVidia’s Turing architecture has been fantastic, with almost every card in the 16xx and 20xx range being recommended on our charts. The cards perform well and are power-efficient, so you typically get a card that hits all the main points: high performance, lower power draw, low temperatures, and low noise. Pricing is an issue for […]
We’ve got a small update here for the main chart, pertaining to our RAM and CPU recommendations.
We’re in the final phases of tinkering and fixing before the full rollout of our big redesign of Logical Increments (bringing improvements to mobile compatibility, chart functionality, article navigation, and more). But it’s actually close enough to completeness right now to invite all of you to preview—and start using—the new version!
nVidia’s new Super 1660 makes the 1660 non-Super obsolete, and gives the 1660 Ti (also non-Super) a pretty hard time. As such, it is now the new default card for both the Good and Very Good tiers, with the Ti being an alternative.
This month, we’re bringing lots of small updates to our main build chart (and reaffirming some decisions from last month):
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It is a joke I have been wanting to use since the 2060 and 2070 Supers came out, but I could not since we needed to save it for the 2080 Super!
In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare famously said: “Keep the body free from disease, what affects RAM affects SSDs.” As always, this ancient wisdom has proven to be correct, and the recent (enormous) RAM price dive is being mirrored in SSDs. So, let us update our SSD recommendations!
If you have not been following the news, AMD announced new cards to be sold at $380 and $450. nVidia responded by releasing “Super” versions of its 2060 and 2070 cards, priced at $400 and $500. This prompted AMD to lower the release price of its cards, to $350 and $400. Let us take a […]
This is AMD’s biggest launch this year, and the number of sources covering this is huge! Alright, so where do we start? We are going to skip AMD’s GPUs for now (another update, soon) and look at the CPUs:
RAM prices took to the skies in 2017, and remained airborne throughout 2018. This year, RAM prices have landed, settled down, and are considering digging an underground cave in preparation for Armageddon, and are expected to go down even further.
