Nvidia RTX 3080 vs 2080: how much faster is Nvidia’s new Ampere GPU?
You may not be able to buy it anywhere right now, but Nvidia's new RTX 3080 GPU has very much set the bar for next-gen graphics cards. It represents a significant leap over the existing RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Super, both at 4K and lower resolutions, and it's hands down one of the best graphics cards Nvidia's ever made. But just how much faster…

Here’s where you can buy an RTX 3090, along with the 8K TV you’ll need to go with it
Update: many retailers are now out of stock of the RTX 3090, so here's an update on UK and US availability.Nvidia's monstrous RTX 3090 is upon us. Launching today at 6am PT / 2pm BST, Nvidia's so-called "BFGPU" will allegedly bring 8K gaming to the masses - a rather pointless endeavour if you ask me, especially since the only 8K displays you can actually buy…

Feature: We test the Asus TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 OC
On paper, Nvidia's new GeForce RTX 3080 lays claim to a lot of sexy headlines. Its 4K gaming performance is significantly faster than its immediate and identically priced predecessor, the RTX 2080, and it even beats Nvidia's previous flagship, the RTX 2080 Ti, offering 4K 60fps speeds on max settings in almost all of today's top games for almost half the money - at least…
Feature: Get back to gaming in no time
Installing a graphics card is one of the most important steps in building a PC, and fortunately, it's also one of the easiest. Having a graphics card inside your PC is crucial, as you won't be able to play all your favourite games without it. Sure, some CPUs might have integrated graphics that you can use to play games with, but they're nowhere near as…

Roccat’s Vulcan keyboard is getting new optical and TKL models
Roccat have announced their excellent Vulcan mechanical keyboard series is expanding next month with three new variants. Two of them will be based around Roccat's new super fast Titan Optical switch, also announced today, while the third will shrink down the original Vulcan into a new, tenkeyless form factor.
With the launch of Nvidia's RTX 3080 and the imminent arrival of AMD's Big Navi GPUs on the horizon, now is not a great time to be buying a new graphics card. Prices for older cards haven't fallen as low as you might expect given they're about to be replaced by something newer and shinier, and many graphics cards simply aren't worth considering any more…
Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090: release date, where to buy, price and specs
The RTX 3090 is almost here. Dubbed the "BFGPU" of the new Nvidia Ampere family (that's a reference to Doom's BFG, in case you're wondering), the RTX 3090 is set to be the world's fastest graphics card when it launches this Thursday, September 24th, thanks to its ability to play and capture games in 8K - a feat which sounds impressive until you realise that…
Nvidia apologise for RTX 3080 launch, saying “we were not prepared”
Nvidia have apologised for last week's "frustrating" RTX 3080 launch, stating that demand for their new flagship GPU was "overwhelming" and that "we were not prepared for this level [of enthusiasm], nor were our partners." The apology was posted on their GeForce blog earlier today, answering community questions such as what the overall RTX 3080 stock situation is like at the moment, and why their…
I'm still in the process of putting Crysis Remastered through its paces on PC, but if you want to see for yourself if your PC can indeed run Crytek's revamped FPS classic, then you'll be pleased to know the game has its own dedicated benchmarking tool. You won't find it in the game itself, sadly, as it's tucked away in the game's system files. Here's…

It's not just Crucial SSDs that are seeing historic low prices today, as there's a trio of Sabrent Rocket NVMe SSDs going cheap in the US as well right now. With 20% shaved off their respective prices, these 1TB and 2TB NVMe drives could be just the thing for those after a truck load of storage on the cheap - especially if you've got your…

Final Fantasy 16's future on PC may have been thrown into doubt over the last 48 hours thanks to Square Enix's ongoing exclusivity mess, but man alive, I am EXCITED all the same. Partly because its brand new "Awakening" reveal trailer shown off during Wednesday's latest PS5 Showcase a) looked fantastic, and b) explicitly stated it had been captured on PC, thereby giving me hope…

The RTX 3080 went on sale yesterday for seemingly all two minutes before it vanished into a puff of broken websites, out of stock stickers and ludicrous Ebay scalpers. Many retailers are still struggling to cope with demand, too - indeed, Newegg have said that they experienced more traffic than the morning of chuffin' Black Friday yesterday, and that their entire RTX 3080 inventory sold…
