As we reported last night, this week, Newegg began sending out emails to Nvidia GTX 980, GTX 960 and even AMD R9 graphics card buyers, talking about a class-action lawsuit settlement. This was quite the surprise as we had never heard of any lawsuits occurring over these GPUs specifically and …

Today is the second of AMD's recent graphics card releases. While AMD sampled reference solutions for RX 480, they are relying on partner cards for the RX 470 launch. Today we take a close up look at the Asus RX 470 Strix Gaming which arrives with a custom cooler, RGB …

Yesterday AMD launched their new RX 470 graphics card, and we were on hand to cover the Asus Strix Gaming OC solution. Today we take a look at the new Sapphire RX 470 Nitro + OC 4GB which features a custom dual fan cooler with enhanced core and memory clock …

Update: Newegg has since retracted these emails and issued an update, stating that there are in-fact no lawsuits underway and confirming that this was a big mistake. You can read the full update, HERE. Just last week, Nvidia reportedly settled the class-action lawsuit surrounding the GTX 970 VRAM issue. While …

Just a couple of weeks ago, Nvidia dropped the surprise announcement of the new Titan X, based on the new Pascal architecture equipped with 3584 CUDA Cores, 11 TFLOPS of compute power and 12GB of GDDR5X VRAM. Today, this monstrous graphics card officially launched, meaning you can now buy one …

While we won’t be getting the Pascal Titan launch at Gamescom this month as previously rumoured (spoiler, it already happened), we will apparently see Nvidia’s M-series of Pascal graphics chips for the first time if new reports this week are to be believed. Rumours surrounding Nvidia’s laptop GPU plans for …

The GTX 970 has been an incredibly successful graphics card for Nvidia, it even went on to become the most popular GPU on the Steam Hardware Survey. However, its time in the sun has not been without controversy. The GTX 970 was sold as having 4GB of VRAM but eventually …

While AMD announced the its new RX 470 and RX 460 graphics cards some time ago, neither card is available just yet and reviews haven't surfaced. However, it looks like we now have the official specs for each card, along with some performance numbers from AMD's own tests on several …

We supplement our analysis of AMD partner RX 480 cards today by looking at the two Sapphire Nitro+ OC models, in 4GB and 8GB capacities. The Sapphire cards ship with custom cooling solutions, out of the box clock enhancements, LED lighting and PCB improvements. At price points of £199.99 and …

The last few days have seen a few crazy graphics cards announced, with the likes of Nvidia's Quadro P6000 offering ridiculous levels of performance at a hefty price tag. You haven't seen anything yet though, as AMD's Radeon Pro Duo Solid State Gaming (SSG) GPU, comes packing a pair of …

Nvidia has debuted a new pair of graphics cards as part of its Pascal line up, but these ones aren't designed to give you ungodly frame rates in the latest and greatest games, these ones are for the business users. Workstations, renderers and situations that require more power than a …

AMD launched their RX 480 at the end of June and I was on hand to offer my analysis of the reference card at the time. Today we present our review of the new Asus RX 480 Strix Gaming OC, a custom solution featuring enhanced clock speeds, a modified triple …

Nvidia's GTX 1060 is now available to buy and while the reference design (Founders Edition) is an interesting choice, it's the customised variants from Nvidia partners that should offer the best cooling, performance and feature set. The ASUS GTX 1060 STRIX is the first of the custom GTX 1060s to …

We may have only just got our first batch of Pascal graphics cards over the last couple of months but that isn't slowing the rumour mill down at all, with attention now turning to Nvidia's Volta architecture. According to reports this week, the first Volta graphics cards may end up …

The KitGuru team are big believers in 120hz+ gaming. The super smooth refresh rates can really enhance the gaming experience. If you are lucky enough to own a screen such as the Asus ROG Swift PG278Q 144hz Adaptive Sync panel (review HERE) or the new Asus PG279Q ROG Swift 165hz …

Pictures of two of AMD's more mainstream RX series graphics cards, the 460 and 470 have shown up online, potentially giving us our first look at what the GPUs will look like at release. Both cards shown are however Sapphire branded, so this isn't necessarily an indication of what stock …

By all accounts, Nvidia was expected to unveil its uber-high-end Pascal GTX Titan-X at Gamescom in August, but out of the blue it dropped last night. Nvidia came bearing images, specs and a swanky video trailer. At this point it would be weird if hardware launched without one. Nvidia terms this …

The first waves of custom AMD Radeon RX 480 and Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics cards are starting to land and Asus is diving straight in with its new ROG Strix offerings, which promise higher levels of performance and much better cooling compared to the reference versions of these GPUs. First …

Back in early 2014 Nvidia first demonstrated its Maxwell architecture, based on a 28nm process, and in unorthodox fashion the first graphics card to emerge was the low-power GTX 750 Ti. It wasn't until later on that year that Maxwell was rolled-out to the high performance segment, with the GTX …
