Bethesda has teamed up with AMD to give away some limited edition CPU and GPU hardware. Not by coincidence, the giveaway coincides with Starfield gaining support for AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR3) upscaling technology, which came by way of the game's most recent patch (versiion 1.9.67). Incidentally, the...

Buckle in gamers, we have more consumer GPUs that are potentially going to help the ever-growing AI machine. Initially, NVIDIA's powerhouse GeForce RTX 4090 was the first target of acquisition for enterprising outfits in China. When those became sparse, even the last generation GeForce RTX 3090 became appealing due to...

It didn't take very long for Starfield to ascend in rankings on Steam with a peak of 234,502 concurrent players in just the first 24 hours, which already qualifies it for the seventh highest of all-time. To say it's off to a great start in terms of player interest is an understatement. Now the race is on to fine tune...

Windows is by far the most popular platform for playing games on PC, including titles on Steam, but what about Mac and Linux? For a long while, Mac ranked second on Steam, though that just changed and probably for good. According to the latest Steam hardware and software survey results (for July 2023), Linux now has a...

AMD repeatedly told us (and thus, the world) that the Navi 31 GPU die used in the Radeon RX 7900 XTX was "architected for 3 GHz." That may be true, but in the real world, top-end RDNA 3 parts rarely exceed 2.6 GHz under a sustained, heavy load. As a result, the RX 7900 XTX generally falls behind the GeForce RTX 4090...

PowerColor has admitted that a “small percentage” of its Radeon RX 7900 XTX Red Devil graphics cards have an issue that results in a significant delta between the average GPU temperature and the hot spot temperature. The firm has already made a helpful statement on the issue, but many will be happy to fix the problem...

It wasn't all that long ago when finding a graphics card in stock and at the manufacturer's MSRP was a near-impossible task. A silicon and substrate shortage combined with a boom in cryptocurrency mining and opportunistic scalpers made it an unpleasant situation for gamers in need of an upgraded GPU. Fortunately...

We had another chance to visit our friends at Maingear and build a custom gaming PC decked out with high-end hardware, including AMD's top-of-the-line Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU. This is the first time we've done so since the boutique builder partnered with Michael "shroud" Grzesiek, a top streamer who joined the fray last...

In the short time it's been on the market, there is evidence to suggest NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is proving popular among gamers. That evidence comes by way of sales data from a major retailer in Germany. Looking at the site's sales figures for the third week of January, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is outselling all...

One of the more peculiar statements to come out of a processor company last year was AMD's insistence that the Navi 31 GPU was "architected for 3GHz". As hardware enthusiasts will likely be aware, even the top-end Radeon RX 7900 XTX doesn't approach 3GHz most of the time. It can go well past that clock rate in some...

AMD has released another graphics driver, but if you are not rocking an RDNA 3-based Radeon, you can go on about your day. AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.1.1 is exclusively for Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards, which for now comprises just two models: the Radeon RX 7900 XT and RX 7900 XTX.
The list of...

We were generally fairly impressed with the Radeon RX 7900 XTX when we tested it, but a few folks who purchased the new card have been seeing red, and not just Radeon red. Specifically, we're talking about the red of a thermal alert when the card hits 110ºC after just a few minutes gaming. If you're affected, just...

The vapor chamber of an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX has been sliced open in an attempt to uncover any obvious flaws in its design. Again, the protagonist in this mystery overheating RX 7900 XTX tale is Roman “der8auer” Hartung, the expert overclocking YouTuber whose vapor chamber investigations we reported upon...

Overclocker der8auer reckons "AMD is in BIG trouble," after completing a series of tests on a batch of Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics cards. Just before Christmas, we reported on AMD confirming it had started to investigate Radeon RX 7900 XTX and XT temperature spikes, or GPU/hotspot temperature deltas, but it looks like...

MSI can be a weirdly polarizing brand. By any reasonable measure the company makes quality products, but for whatever reason MSI tends to be a love-'em-or-hate-'em brand. If you're a die-hard member of the Dragon Army, you might've been wondering where MSI's new Radeon cards are. Well, the answer is that they don't...

We're just a couple of days out from the December 13th launch of AMD's next-generation Radeon GPUs based on its RDNA 3 architecture. The first will be the Radeon RX 7900 XTX and the similarly-named but slightly-slower Radeon RX 7900 XT. When AMD announced these, it rated the faster card for a 2.3 GHz game clock and...

When AMD revealed its Radeon RX 7900 series GPUs early this month, its presentation focused on comparing against its own previous-generation parts. There were some comparisons to the GeForce RTX 4080 in the press materials, but nothing comparing their parts to the GeForce RTX 4090. That may change may have been made...
