With AMD having recently released some new Radeon Pro cards, we wanted to revisit our viewport tests and see how the full stacks stand today. In this article, we look beyond rendering performance for a moment to focus on the interactive viewport in software such as CATIA, SolidWorks, Siemens NX, Creo, and Blender.

With Windows 11’s launch approaching soon, you may wish to give the OS a test-drive before deciding whether or not it’s worth committing to. In this article, we’re going to go over the many ways you can install Microsoft’s latest OS, either to a PC directly, or to a virtual machine.

The launch of Windows 11 is right around the corner, so we wanted to dive into the current preview to get a good look at what’s coming – and help you figure out whether or not you should be excited to upgrade. If you’re keen on performance comparisons, don’t fret: we’ll tackle that at official launch.

AMD has just ushered in the release of the fifth GPU to join the RDNA2-based Radeon lineup, and to the potential delight of fans, it comes in at the lowest price-point yet. Carrying an SRP of $379, the RX 6600 XT promises to deliver stellar 1080p gaming performance, even if your sights are set on high refresh.

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?
