Khronos Group's alternative to DXR is almost here, as Vulkan Ray Tracing gets its final specifications detailed ahead of release next month.

We recently got our first look at the ray tracing requirements for Cyberpunk 2077, although there's no mention of AMD GPUs. CD Projekt Red's Global Community Lead, Marcin Momot, has now confirmed that ray tracing won't be supported on AMD cards at release...

At the end of October I showed you the Palit RTX 3080 graphics card I had recently bought and then I told you I was also going to buy an AMD Big Navi. That decision was based purely on AMD’s marketing material so as you might imagine, I was waiting with keen interest for Dominic’s reviews of Big Navi to land!

AMD has just launched the Radeon RX 6800 XT and it's already breaking world records. The widely known extreme overclocker Alva Jonathan aka "LUCKY_NOOB" has set a new world record for the 3DMark Firestrike using a reference design Radeon RX 6800 XT.

This month, we have teamed up with BOX and Seagate to give KitGuru readers a chance to win a bundle of new hardware. This includes a new PCIe 4.0 SSD, an AMD Ryzen processor and a Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD for mass storage. 

One of the biggest changes arriving with the PlayStation 5 is the increase in the standard price for some games from $60 to $70. This has created an even bigger jump in some markets such as the UK, which has seen the price of games such as Demon’s Souls go for £70 (~$92). In a recent interview, PlayStation’s CEO called this price ‘fair’ relative to “hours of entertainment provided.”

Following the announcement that Nvidia is developing a Smart Access Memory alternative, AMD has released a statement sharing new information about its technology. According to the company, Smart Access Memory won't be supported on older hardware, but AMD is welcoming other hardware vendors to use it.

As the release of the Radeon RX 6000 series comes closer, leaks and early details have begun frequently coming out. This time, it's regarding the overclocking potential of the Radeon RX 6800, which should also extend to the Radeon RX 6800XT and the RX 6900XT.

With AMD entering the ray-tracing capable GPU market this month, there has been some confusion around what games will be supported and whether or not previous RTX-supported titles are using proprietary technology for ray-tracing. Fortunately, Nvidia has begun clearing the air. 

If you are looking to pick up a new laptop at the moment, then it is worth shopping around as many retailers and laptop makers are doing early Black Friday deals this year. MSI is one of them, with five popular laptop models discounted early for November.

A new report suggests that Nvidia will launch the RTX 3080Ti in January 2021. The alleged specifications of this new SKU have already been leaked, and based on them, it will rival the AMD Radeon RX 6900XT.

AMD's next-gen laptop processors aren't expected until early 2021, but listings for them are already popping up in the wild.

As we approach the final weeks of the Eighth generation of consoles, it's high time that we took a deep breath, looked back, and showed appreciation for all of the fun, exciting and emotional experiences that we’ve gone through over the past 7 years. Here we look back at some of the best PlayStation 4 and Xbox One video games.

Rumours suggest that we'll be waiting until December for the RTX 3060Ti as AMD takes over November with RX 6000 GPU launches.

In the last week of October we heard about the Acer Swift 3x laptop with Intel Iris Xe Max graphics and were at a bit of a loss as this was a new name that Intel had not yet revealed. A few days later we had a call with Intel that made things clearer and now, on 1st November, you will find a handful of laptops that use Intel Max. Leo took the opportunity to address the question 'What the Heck is Intel Iris Xe Max?'

In the latest video from Leo, he discusses Intel Rocket Lake S and the possible problems Intel might have. Leo also took the time to ask Intel a couple of questions about the upcoming launch. Leo, as always speaks his mind and asks the tough questions. Leo discusses his thoughts on the new platform, including the Rocket Lake S maximum core count of 8 (16 threads) as well as some of their claims, The Intel XE graphics, Intel Deep Learning, the new Intel 500 Series chipset and their new memory controller with official support of DDR4 3200 memory speeds. But what about the clock speeds?

Intel is expanding its Xe graphics line-up with Iris Xe MAX featuring Deep Link and PCIe Gen 4 support.

Leo was prepared to be underwhelmed by AMD's big reveal about Radeon RX 6000 but Holy Heck did Lisa Su do the business. The new RX 6800 and 6800 XT take the fight to Nvidia RTX 3070 and 3080 but who predicted that Radeon RX 6900 XT might take on the mighty RTX 3090?

AMD's big RDNA 2 GPU reveal has finally arrived, bringing the announcements of the RX 6900 XT, RX 6800 XT and RX 6800, with prices starting at $579.

We already got a glimpse of what the Ryzen 5 5600X will be capable of, but with the new CPU-Z results, we now also have an idea of how the Ryzen 7 5800X and the Ryzen 9 5950X will perform once we have them in our hands.

A few weeks ago, we began hearing rumours of acquisition talks between AMD and Xilinx. Now, the deal is as good as done, with AMD announcing that it will be acquiring the company for $35 billion in an effort to create "the industry's high performance computing leader". 

We have teamed up with Corsair to give KitGuru readers the chance to win a component bundle worth £450! There is just one week left to enter so don't miss out!

Laptop versions of the RTX 30 series are on the way according to new leaks.

The list of nominations for the KitGuru Reader Awards 2020 has been finalised and voting starts now. Let us know your thoughts and you could win a 55" 4K gaming display from Philips!

3DMark and Ashes Of The Singularity benchmark results for the RTX 3070 have surfaced, putting the new GPU on par with the RTX 2080Ti.

After seeing what happened with the launch of the RTX 30 series graphics cards, AMD has contacted retailers to put anti-scalping measures in place. The goal is to ensure as many RX 6000 GPUs and Ryzen 5000 CPUs go to legitimate customers as possible. 

SK Hynix is already huge in the NAND flash and storage business but it is about to get bigger. Today. the company announced that it has signed an agreement to acquire Intel's NAND memory and storage business for $9 billion.

New benchmark entries of the upcoming Ryzen 5000 processors were spotted on the SiSoftware database. The results were put in comparison with previous generations SKUs, showing significant improvements in both arithmetic and multi-media benchmarks.
