Talking RTX 3000! New Cooler, Ampere Architecture, Performance and More…

Nvidia's RTX 3000 series was officially unveiled on Tuesday, with Jensen Huang delivering a live-streamed keynote from his kitchen. Yesterday, Nvidia hosted a few online media sessions, where we were told a little bit more about these new GPUs and Ampere as a whole. In this video, Dominic highlights a few key points that piqued his interest, as well as having some general discussions around the cards themselves.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
