Feature: GPUs and HDR explained
What graphics card do I need for HDR and what PC games support it?

Nvidia GTX ray tracing revisited: How much faster are the GTX 1660 and 1660 Ti?
Last month, I put Nvidia's GTX ray tracing driver to the test, seeing what kind of speeds were possible on the GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 in Metro Exodus and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The results, it's fair to say, were pretty mixed. Metro was completely unplayable on both cards, but Tomb Raider did, in fact, show promising signs of life as long as…

If you wish to once again discover how…
