Codemasters has just released F1 2021, and for the first time in the series, ray tracing features are offered. For that and other reasons, we decided to dive into a look at both the technical and performance aspects of the game, with plenty of benchmark results to be had at four resolutions with current generation GeForces and Radeons.

With the release of Blender 2.93, the 2.X era comes to an end. Considering Blender 2.0 released in August 2000, you could say that this moment is a bit special. It’d be a true understatement to say that the software has come a long way in all of that time, so let’s honor the final major 2.X release with some in-depth rendering and viewport benchmarking, shall we?

It’s been six months since we’ve last taken an in-depth look at GPU rendering performance, and with NVIDIA having just released two new GPUs, we felt now was a great time to get up-to-date. With AMD’s and NVIDIA’s current-get stack in-hand, along with a few legends of the past, we’re going to investigate rendering performance in Blender, Octane, Redshift, V-Ray, and more.

NVIDIA has just released its newest GeForce: RTX 3070 Ti. Compared to the non-Ti variant, the new RTX 3070 Ti offers some extra cores, and faster GDDR6X memory to deliver a healthy bandwidth boost. For this launch, we’re going to look at 4K and ultrawide gaming performance across all of AMD’s and NVIDIA’s current-gen cards.

NVIDIA has just released its sixth Ampere-based GeForce: RTX 3080 Ti. Compared to the RTX 3080, the Ti model adds cores, and includes 2GB more memory. Our first performance focus is on 4K, with RTX 2080 Ti and GTX 1080 Ti performance included for a generational improvement look.

We took a look at 1080p and 1440p gaming across a wide range of current-gen GPUs a few weeks ago, and now, we’re going to dive back in, but with a focus on 4K and ultrawide (3440×1440). With ten games in-hand, we’re going to explore which cards will deliver the kind of performance you’re looking for with either of these grueling resolutions.
