Borderlands is back, and that means one thing: Borderlands benchmarking is also back! We’re taking a look at graphics card performance with the help of fifteen GPUs and four resolutions. Since the performance picture between AMD and NVIDIA varies quite a bit between DX12 and DX11, we’re including results for both.

Following-up on our coverage of AMD’s 8 and 12-core launch Ryzen 3000-series chips, we’re now turning our attention to a couple of options that will not break the bank: the six-core Ryzen 5 3600X CPU and Ryzen 5 3400G APU. We’re also throwing in some comparative Ubuntu 18.04 vs. 19.04 performance to highlight the differences a distro release can make.

We’re taking a look at two of Corsair’s most recently released mice: The NIGHTSWORD RGB has a unique weight system, and the M55 RGB PRO caters to those who either prefer an ambidextrous design. Let’s check them out.

MAGIX updated its popular Vegas Pro video editing suite to version 17 earlier this month, bringing with it a bunch of new features and enhancements, as well as promises of performance improvements all over. We’re taking a look at where things stand today with CPU and GPU encodes, as well as playback performance.

Rule number one of data storage: back it up! This rule applies in every IT shop on earth, and it should apply to your home networks, as well. Today’s cloud offerings are vast and feature-rich, but the public cloud isn’t always the Holy Grail. When combined with on-site data storage, such as with a NAS, you greatly bolster your backup strategy.

With Blender 2.80 now launched, we’re taking a fresh look at performance across the latest hardware, including AMD’s latest Ryzen 3000-series CPUs and Navi GPUs, as well as NVIDIA SUPER cards. That includes both CPU and GPU testing with the Cycles renderer, GPU testing with Eevee, and viewport performance with LookDev.
