Maxon has recently rolled out major updates to both its Cinebench and Redshift products, so we wanted to take a fresh look at GPU rendering performance in each with the help of AMD’s and NVIDIA’s current product stacks. While Redshift recently gained support for AMD Radeon, Intel, with its Arc series, becomes the odd one out.

In its latest quarterly Arc graphics update, Intel has released a new driver which can boost performance in DirectX 11 titles upwards of 19%. It also released a revamped version of its popular PresentMon performance analyzing tool, adding a valuable new metric to gauge how busy your GPU is keeping relative to the frametimes.

Blender 3.6 has recently launched, and from a performance perspective, it’s one of the biggest releases in a while. Both AMD and Intel gain ray tracing acceleration to render your scene faster, and other subtle improvements have been made as well, including the speed of viewport shader compiling. Let’s dig in!

The latest entrant to join NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace GeForce lineup is the RTX 4060. Priced at $299, the 8GB RTX 4060 targets those who’ve been waiting to upgrade from one of the predecessor cards, and wants to take advantage of the latest GeForce feature set – including niceties such as DLSS 3.

Logitech’s MX Master series of peripherals have long been well-regarded for their high-quality design, and excellent feature sets. In this review, we’re taking a look at some of the latest MX Master options: the wireless MX Mechanical keyboard, and (also wireless) MX Master 3S mouse.

AMD’s Radeon PRO series of workstation GPUs has just been augmented with the first models infused with the company’s RDNA3 architecture. We’re taking a look at the high-end 32GB Radeon PRO W7800, as well as the even higher-end 48GB Radeon PRO W7900, across a wide-range of production workloads.
