The majority of PC part launches from established companies are successes, as professionals usually try to design good products for the purpose of attracting customers. From time to time, however, the human beings at such companies make mistakes, or go overboard on the alcohol, or let the engineers dream a little too much. The past […]
This is a double update: one CPU, one GPU. Let us begin with the section that contains (on balance) good news for PC builders!
In the midst of a festive season, we bring tidings of good graphical cheer to some of the highest tiers of our main PC building chart! New GPUs from both AMD and Nvidia are now making an appearance, and causing some accompanying changes for older graphics cards.
Behold, friends-with-big-wallets: the biggest, heaviest, most expensive, most power-consuming, and *drumroll* best-performing card ever made! Let us take a closer look.
Can you feel it? The change for PC builders, not very subtle, happening even as I type these words? The clouds have lifted. The sun is shining. The news is good. It is as follows:
Did you feel that? Was it an earthquake? An avalanche? No, nVidia just decided to throw all caution to the wind and create the world’s most powerful consumer GPU, and that GPU is stomping!

With such specifications, this processor runs any game smoothly. As a result of the high core count, it would also be fit for workstation purposes such as video […]
Thanks to chip scarcities and high demand due to people working at home, computer part prices have skyrocketed. And that includes the price of the Ryzen 3 3200G. Once upon a time, the 3200G was a solid budget option for anybody looking to build a budget gaming PC to get started with PC gaming. But […]
The RTX 3060 was recently launched. It is an improvement compared to the previous-gen RTX 2060, while (as expected) falling behind its faster RTX 3060 Ti brother. With seemingly promising benchmarks and an MSRP of 330 USD, it seems like a great card. But the RTX 3060 is not available for its MSRP of 330 […]
The PC buyers have been living in the dry desert of GPU-lessness for 5 months now, and a few days ago, nVidia promised that relief is coming with the RTX 3060. But let us get the usual things out of the way: $330, great performance for the price, runs cool. It is a modern nVidia […]
