On the face of it, Stadia Pro is the perfect solution. 4K gaming for the masses, for a monthly fee. No more building.
Almost sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it… ?
What is the deal with the new RTX 2070 Super? Let’s take a look at the specifications of this new GPU, and then get to building!
AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition is one hell of a mouthful for a model name, yet there’s some good reason for it. Let’s have a look at why it’s called that, and then look at building a PC with it!
On January 7, nVidia announced the latest card in the RTX lineup—the RTX 2060. We recently took a deep dive into what the RTX technology had to offer, as well as (earlier this week) what instances the new high-end cards might be a good buy. But after the disappointing announcements of the first run of RTX cards, we were definitely still curious how the 2060 would pan out.
The much-anticipated release of nVidia’s newest generation of GPUs left many hopeful PC builders a tad disappointed. By many metrics, the cards were overpriced, with huge price hikes over the previous generation’s cards. To make matters worse, reports came out that the 2080 Ti had overheating problems, and the disappointing release of the cards’ key feature, real-time ray tracing, caused many to write off the cards altogether.
By and large, those two key hardware problems have been resolved, but the higher prices still remain. So in what scenarios would an upgrade make sense? Here we’ll look at each new high-end card and point out some cases where upgrading might be in the cards.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday might be over, but the good deals on components keep coming—if you know where to look. We’ve scoured sales from several retailers to find two builds that provide great price-to-performance ratios.
I hope you did not miss nVidia’s conference yesterday! Lots of tech/game demos were shown, and lots and LOTS of fancy words (two hours worth) were used to tell us that nVidia is launching the new RTX series of cards.
