Sapphire is locked and loaded for today's RX 7700 XT and RX 7800 XT launch. The company has unveiled a new line-up of Sapphire Pure graphics cards for launch.

When Star Wars Jedi: Survivor launched earlier this year, it arrived with a few performance issues. These were most notable on PC but as I noted at launch, the next-gen console version wasn't holding up super well either. The game's performance mode was consistently under 60FPS, leading to constant screen tearing. Now with the game's seventh major patch, that should finally change.

We've known for a while now that Square Enix is planning to bring Final Fantasy 16 to PC but we've had little news on the progress of this new version. That is finally changing this week, with the studio confirming that Final Fantasy 16 is now in development for PC, and the game is set to get a couple of DLCs too.

With each passing generation the file sizes for games have increased time and time again, with the peak seeing titles such as Call of Duty Warzone take up to 250GB during the PS4 / Xbox One generation. Thankfully, due to the introduction of SSDs and compression technologies, game sizes have deflated to much more reasonable figures. Even so, the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will take up almost twice as much space as the first game...

Gamescom officially took place last week and Nintendo was indeed in attendance to sell merch and show games to attendees. As it turns out, Nintendo may have had some very interesting meetings behind the scenes of the event, as word has begun to spread that the company is now showing its next-gen console to partners. 

For the past couple years Sony has been taking a renewed approach when it comes to utilising their many current and past Intellectual Properties, with the PlayStation console manufacturer expanding to a transmedia strategy. First starting with the Uncharted movie, these adaptations have – with one obvious exception – been received both critically and commercially in a somewhat dim light. While a majority of these projects have not quite set the world on fire, I don’t actually think they were meant to...

When Samsung announced its 990 Pro SSD family for the retail market last year, it only offered 1TB and 2TB variants, skipping the 4TB option that is usually available for high-end SSDs. Now, the company is poised to right this by releasing a 4TB version this autumn...

As rumoured, today at Gamescom, AMD officially announced its next batch of gaming graphics cards - the RX 7800 XT and the RX 7700 XT. Both pack the latest RDNA 3 technology, with a Navi 32 GPU powering them, targeting those looking to game at 1440p.

This week at Gamescom, Dell has joined the list of companies announcing new hardware, unveiling a new ultra-fast Alienware gaming monitor. With a 500Hz refresh rate and low 0.05ms response time, this is claimed to be the fastest IPS gaming monitor in the world right now.

Gamescom: Opening Night Live has become a great tradition in recent years. The new stream adds a digital element to the world's biggest gaming convention, delivering new game announcements, trailers and updates. This year's Gamescom: ONL stream was pretty packed, with 39 trailers shown. 

Last month, Microsoft and the CMA jointly agreed to put the appeal process on hold to go back to the drawing board on the proposed Activision Blizzard merger. At that time, the deadline for closing the deal was also extended. Now, we finally have an update from the CMA, revealing that Microsoft plans to sell off its cloud gaming rights to Activision Blizzard games to Ubisoft. 

Starfield, set to be released on September 6th, is just a few days away from being available to the general public. Preload has already started, and enthusiastic users are already taking advantage by combing through the game files, trying to find all the details they can ahead of launch...

Alan Wake II is one of the most anticipated games of the year, with Remedy Entertainment’s upcoming survival horror title announced to be launching on the 17th of October. Unfortunately for them, October has quickly become one of the most stacked months of 2023, with the likes of Spider-Man 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder and more set to release within days of Alan Wake II. As such, the game has now been delayed slightly to give “more space for everyone to enjoy their favorite games.”

Linus Media Group (LMG) has found itself in hot water over the past couple days – starting with accusations of inaccurate hardware testing and ultimately leading to allegations of sexual harassment in the workplace. The founder has since responded to these statements...

Back in June of this year during Nintendo’s most recent Direct, the console manufacturer announced that the critically acclaimed Batman Arkham Trilogy would be coming to the Nintendo Switch. At the time, no launch date was given, with the collection said to simply be arriving in ‘Fall 2023’. Now, we have an exact release date...

Baldur’s Gate III has quickly become the new hotness, with the Larian Studios-developed RPG amassing a concurrent player count of over 800,000 upon its launch – almost 10x more than the studio expected. It seems the title’s sales success has been matched by its critical reception, with Baldur’s Gate III now becoming the highest rated game of all time on OpenCritic....

There is just ONE DAY left to enter for your chance to win one of two fantastic NZXT gaming PCs!

For a while, it seemed as though Call of Duty would be skipping a year, with 2023 set to introduce an expansion-like experience into last year’s Call of Duty Modern Warfare II. Since then, Activision confirmed that we would be seeing a brand new full-blown COD entry this year. Following a number of brief teasers, the team have now officially confirmed that Call of Duty Modern Warfare III’s ‘Worldwide Reveal’ will take place next week.

In recent weeks there has been evidence of an impending Red Dead Redemption-related announcement from Rockstar. Many unfortunately gave the studio a bit too much credit in thinking that this would be a remaster. Red Dead Redemption is not being remastered, but it is coming out again, this time for Nintendo Switch and 'modern PlayStation consoles', skipping PC and Xbox. 

We recently covered Intel's claim that it would deliver five fabrication nodes in four years which would allow the chip giant to regain its process technology leadership, presumably from TSMC, by 2025. These are bold claims that were immediately challenged by news that Intel would ditch its own 20A process in Arrow Lake and would instead use the TSMC N3 process...

Earlier this year, AMD launched its most powerful Radeon PRO GPU yet, the W7900, as well as the W7800. Now, AMD is filling out its line-up with more affordable options, including the new Radeon Pro W7600 and the Radeon Pro W7500 workstation graphics cards. 

There has been a huge rise in the popularity of handheld PC gaming systems over the last few years. We've seen more OEMs jump on this trend recently, with the likes of the ROG Ally. Lenovo might be the next big name in tech to launch a PC gaming handheld, currently known as the Legion Go. 

While it was assumed we would see an RTX 4090 Ti at some point this generation, plans appear to have changed. According to reports this week, the RTX 4090 Ti has now been cancelled. 

At CES earlier this year we learned about a number of new AMD laptop chips in the 7040HS and 7045HX series. Today we have the opportunity to showcase an HP Omen 16 laptop that uses an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS processor with eight cores/16 threads that are built on the latest Zen 4 architecture.  This enables the HP Omen 16 to storm along in office work or games while consuming very little power, and that helps to maximise battery life.

A new security vulnerability has been discovered, impacting AMD Zen 2 processors. The bug, known as Zenbleed, can be used to steal sensitive data, but mitigations for the exploit are already on the way.
