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 …

Today marks the launch of the Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro+, combining features and a thoughtful cooler design to deliver the best value for gamers looking to upgrade to Polaris this year. The latest Nitro card comes with an improved Dual-X cooler, which allows for higher out of the box …

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 …

The Nvidia GTX 1060 officially launched today, with reviews showing it offering similar performance to a GTX 980 at a more budget friendly price point. Now that retailers have some stock in, it is a good time to check the prices and availability of certain custom cards here in the UK. …

AMD's decision to launch its first next-gen 14nm GPU in the mid-range, the RX 480, has invoked an almost instantaneous response from its rival Nvidia. AMD released the RX 480 at the end of June into the crucial sub-$250 segment and not even a month later Nvidia is ready with …

Now that Pascal is out in the open, the rumour mill has turned its attention to Nvidia’s next currently planned architecture on the roadmap, known as Volta. According to a report, Nvidia may be planning to stick with the same 16nm process used for Pascal for its next architecture jump. …

Last week, Nvidia officially announced the latest addition to its Pascal lineup with the GTX 1060. At the time, we heard about the 6GB version of the card, but prior to its announcement, there were rumours pointing towards a cheaper 3GB model and now, it appears some of the key …

AMD and Firaxis studios have decided to team up for Sid Meier's Civilization VI, creating a new DirectX 12 renderer specifically optimised to bring an in-game performance boost to Radeon graphics cards. This means that Civ Vi will support technologies like Asynchronous Compute and Explicit Multi-Adapter. Right now, AMD's Graphics …

One of Nvidia's big selling points for its new Pascal graphics cards was the architecture's improved performance in virtual reality applications. Unfortunately, there have been some problems in that area since launch, with cards either not boosting clock speeds in VR, or the DisplayPort just not being compatible with the …

If any of you were waiting on Vulkan support to start playing this year's Doom then you will be happy to hear that support has officially been implemented. Vulkan is a new graphics API created by Khronos Group and similarly to AMD's Mantle or DirectX 12, it gives developers lower …

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 …

This week we saw the official announcement of Nvidia's latest addition to the Pascal family, the GTX 1060. At the time of announcement we got the specifications and we learned a little more about Pascal's exclusive features but we did not get pricing information for those of us in the UK. …
