Nvidia got the ball rolling in 2019 on having way too many graphics card options in and around the midrange, and now AMD is getting in on that fun with the RX 5500 XT. Let’s take a look at this GPU from AMD!
After many rumours and much debate, the RX 5600 XT has been released. Originally slated to be a GTX 1660 “killer”, AMD re-positioned this card to compete with the RTX 2060. From the reviews, you can see that it competes well with the 2060, beating it by a tiny margin. The 5600 XT is a […]
Whether you’re building a new computer or just upgrading your current one, the CPU (central processing unit)—being the ‘brain’ of the computer—is an important component to get right. But, with all the improvements and advancements in recent years on both the hardware and software sides, how many CPU cores do you need?
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 […]
It’s been over two decades since Intel released a discrete graphics card (the last was the disappointing Intel740, which hit the market back in 1998). That is set to change in 2020, when Intel intends to release its new discrete GPU, the Intel Xe. Intel is being characteristically tight-lipped about what we can expect with […]
Up until a few years ago, the value king for gaming was the Intel i5 processor. More recently, AMD’s Ryzen APUs have stolen the show at the low tiers, and we all know that no integrated graphics from Intel can currently compete with AMD’s Vega 8 and Vega 11 iGPUs. So it’s a no-brainer for […]
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.
Is this RTX 2060 Super actually a worthwhile buy for builders? Let’s take a look at the specifications, and see what a balanced build would look like!
Not content with shaking up the CPU market, AMD have also thrust themselves squarely into this year’s midrange GPU market with the newly released AMD Radeon RX 5700. It’s time to play some games! Yet before that, we need to build a PC. Let’s get to it!
Just when we thought NVIDIA was done with the super launch, the RTX 2080 Super arrives! Yet what is this card for? Let’s take a look!
