Over the past week or so, two of the most common benchmarks we test with for our CPU and GPU reviews have released updates – and if you happen to love benchmarking, you may want to jump on them. The first is Maxon’s Cinebench, which has been updated to the latest R23…..

Regular end users – including gamers – will have a challenging time filling a graphics card’s large frame buffer (especially with a card like the GeForce RTX 3090), but for deep-learning researchers, there can almost never be enough memory. NVIDIA knows this well, and so it’s continually increased the amount of memory…..

AMD has just launched its much-anticipated Zen 3 processors, with four on offer for mainstream budgets. We’re kicking off our coverage with a look at the top dog Ryzen 9 5950X in gaming, as it goes up against the last-gen Ryzen 9 3950X, and Intel’s de facto best gaming CPU, the Core i9-10900K.

With NVIDIA’s new $499 GeForce RTX 3070 in-hand, we’re taking a look at gaming performance across a wide-range of games, including some sporting ray tracing features. NVIDIA promises a card that goes up against last-gen’s $1,199 RTX 2080 Ti, and overall, it delivers on that.

Watch Dogs: Legion has just released, and given it’s the latest title to implement ray tracing, we couldn’t help but jump in and test its performance across a range of GPUs. In this look, we’re comparing sixteen GPUs at 1080p, 1440p, 4K, and ultrawide, with and without ray tracing and NVIDIA’s DLSS.

Right on schedule, AMD has today unveiled its next-gen Radeon graphics cards, built around the RDNA2 architecture. This of course comes one day after NVIDIA’s release of the GeForce RTX 3070, and based on what’s promised, we’re sure NVIDIA is already planning to plug more gaps in the months ahead. When NVIDIA…..

NVIDIA has just launched its third Ampere GeForce, and at $499, the RTX 3070 is going to lure in more folks than the previously released 3090 or 3080. NVIDIA says that its RTX 3070 will match the 2080 Ti in gaming, but to kick our coverage off, we’re going to start with an area where even larger gains can be found: rendering.

Adobe’s MAX conference has kicked-off this week, and as you’d expect, it’s all-digital. To say that there is a lot being unveiled at the event would be an understatement. You could easily spend an hour browsing Adobe’s various blogs. There’s so much there, in fact, that you will have to hit “Load…..

The folks at UL have just augmented the super-popular 3DMark benchmark with a new test, and this one caters to mobile – notebooks, tablets, and phones. Like some of UL’s other tests, this Wild Life one is set to deliver as accurate a comparison between devices as possible, despite the differences in…..

Right on schedule, the folks at OnePlus unveiled their latest high-end smartphone today: OnePlus 8T. Some of the biggest highlights include a fast 120Hz screen (which comes as a surprise to no one, given the company’s own hints), as well as a bolstered 65W charger that can fill the phone’s large battery…..

The most popular workstation viewport testing tool on the planet has just received an update, and for those who make use of SPECviewperf, the latest version is worth an immediate download. At quick glance, the overall benchmark may seem really similar to the previous one, but there have been many improvements made…..

Right on schedule, AMD announced its Zen 3 processor series today, and did so with one of the quickest presentations we’ve ever seen (a good thing, really). AMD’s Lisa Su, Mark Papermaster, and Robert Hallock all drilled it into our heads with great efficiency that Zen 3 is something special, and everyone…..

In a blog post hosted at Medium, Intel’s John Bonini dives into what makes Intel important for gaming, while also laying out a bit of what’s to come. The post talks about Intel’s DNA, and where we’ve come from. Remember when Pentiums were the most sought after in the 90s? Remember how…..

Corsair has just released a beastly gaming keyboard, called K100 RGB. The company considers it to be the ‘pinnacle” of gaming keyboards, and does have a range of features to help back that claim up. Corsair says that this is the fastest keyboard in existence, thanks to its AXON “Hyper-Processing Technology”, which…..

We’ve used Windows on Arm quite a bit here at Techgage over the past two years, and overall, our experiences have been good. One thing that has helped is the solid hardware (a la Microsoft Surface Pro X and Lenovo Yoga), but beyond that, the performance and capabilities offered made it feel…..

Have you ever wondered about the performance gains you could see by combining dissimilar GPUs? With the RTX 3080 having launched, we’re taking a look at how our rendering workloads are improved when the card is combined with each of the last-gen GeForce RTX GPUs – as well as the older GTX 1080 Ti, for good measure.

NVIDIA launched its first Ampere-powered GPU just over one week ago, and on schedule, the second has arrived: GeForce RTX 3090. This GPU targets users who demand uncompromising performance and capabilities out of their graphics hardware, and with 24GB of GDDR6X, this GPU has plenty of breathing room for your biggest creative workloads.

AMD sure covers a lot of processor ground with its various series. With a chip like the Ryzen Threadripper 3990X, it offers 64 cores and 128 threads to those with heavy-duty computing needs. Conversely, it’s a launch like today’s that reminds us that AMD hasn’t forgotten about the rest of the market.…..

OnePlus has just announced that it will unveil its OnePlus 8T on October 14, at 10:00 EST. It’s sometimes the case that the mid-series launch of a OnePlus phone ends up being more intriguing than the launch model to come before it, but OP’s Pete Lau says that the company is “once…..

Microsoft has today announced that it’s planning to acquire ZeniMax Media for a cool $7.5 billion. That name alone might not paint the full picture, as within ZeniMax Media is Bethesda Softworks, Arkane Studios, id Software, and much more. Franchises found within include The Elder Scrolls, DOOM, Fallout, Dishonored, Prey, Quake, among…..
