Featured Announcement

Microsoft recently showed off Windows 11 - a revamp which comes with a plethora of changes - both visually and quality-of-life wise. While the full release is not expected to launch until much later this year, Microsoft did promise early access to those who are part of its Windows insider program. For those brave few, Windows 11 is now available.

Microsoft officially unveiled Windows 11 last week with a new set of minimum system requirements to run the operating system. The one causing the most trouble right now is the requirement for TPM 2.0, but there is already talk of workarounds for this. 

One of the main highlights at Ubisoft's E3 showcase this year was the reveal of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Built for next-gen consoles and PC on an enhanced Snowdrop Engine, Ubisoft has now gone into a bit more detail on the technical side of the game. 

As expected, today Microsoft officially announced Windows 11. A number of the new UI changes were already leaked earlier this month, but now, we have full details on new features, redesigned apps and other improvements. 

To celebrate the ray tracing and DLSS coming to Doom Eternal, Nvidia and Bethesda have partnered up to create the Doom Eternal GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Limited Edition Demon Slayer bundle. The bundle is limited to 300 units, but first, you'll need to go through a lottery system just to buy one. 

AVerMedia has been supplying game capture and streaming gear since the early days of gaming on YouTube and Twitch.

Earlier this month, we learned that driver support for Nvidia's Kepler based GPUs will be coming to an end soon. Now, AMD is announcing the end of driver support for some of its ageing graphics cards, including the Radeon HD 7000, Radeon 200, Radeon 300 and R9 Fury series.

E3 2021 has officially wrapped up after several days of virtual conferences from major publishers. Microsoft and Nintendo had particularly good showings, but the event as a whole felt somewhat disjointed and dare I say, lacked the magic of previous E3 events. Let’s take a look back at the winners and losers of this year’s E3.

Prior to the launch of AMD's RX 6000 series of graphics cards, rumours suggested that AMD was working on its own liquid-cooled version of the flagship RX 6900 XT. As time went on, it looked like the liquid-cooled model had been cancelled, but that changed this month. 

We're still a few days away from AMD's second event of the summer, during which the company will reveal the first games to support FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) technology. Leaks may have already spoiled the announcement though, with a list of FSR games and developers/publishers supporting the feature appearing online.

Our latest 'Leo Reacts' video for Computex 2021 is devoted to EKWB and their enormous range of products for custom loop liquid cooling. In particular we were taken by the Nucleus AIOs and an enormous array of radiators... but EK had plenty more shiny and exotic items to unveil..

Dr. Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, had a great time presenting her Computex keynote address. AMD continues to make inroads in the server and workstation markets with EPYC, while their Ryzen desktop CPUs are the first choice for PC enthusiasts. AMD RDNA 2 graphics are pretty darn good, however there is no denying that Nvidia dominates the graphics market. And then we have laptops to consider and yes, Dr. Su delivered a 'one final thing' moment before she signed off...

During AMD's keynote at Computex, we got an early look at new 3D stacking technology that the company is working on. Using a prototype Ryzen 9 5900X with 3D stacking, significant performance improvements were shown, with games running up to 25 percent faster. 

Intel kicked off Virtual Computex 2021 with a keynote address lasting 40 minutes. We heard from Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger, we saw product demos and we were told about new products that are due to land in the near future.

SSDs are known to significantly outclass HDDs in terms of performance, but Seagate has been developing a new technology to close the gap a bit. Named Mach.2, this new technology features a dual-actuator and two HDDs working simultaneously to deliver a level of performance similar to a SATA SSD.

Following the rumour about an incoming refresh of the Ryzen 5000 series, AMD made a statement confirming its existence and detailing a bit more about them. Unfortunately, it won't be the kind of refresh we hoped for, as it won't bring any performance improvement.

Yesterday, Nvidia confirmed that it is releasing 'Lite Hash Rate' versions of the RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti with anti-mining measures in place. Some more information has since come to light - LHR versions of these GPUs will be shipping to third-party board partners only, meaning we won't be getting LHR 'Founders Edition' cards.
