At the end of 2020, Nvidia and AMD released their newest line of graphics cards which are made up of the RTX 3000 series from Nvidia and the RX 6000 series from AMD. These new releases were positively received by many fans due to how much faster they ran than the previous generation’s GPU models. However, one thing was always clear when it came to prices for these newer cards: they are always well above what you would expect them to cost in real life considering manufacturing costs. AMD had successfully reclaimed its spot among the most powerful competitors in…
Searching for the perfect processor can be a difficult task, especially when faced with so many options at your fingertips. In the past, you would only find Intel on offer – they were highly successful until AMD came back to give them some competition with their new line of Ryzen motherboards (X570). Nowadays, it seems like there are too many details and specifications available to make an informed decision without knowing exactly what kind of PC user you are and what kind of games you plan on playing. Today, we’re going to walk you through a guide that will help…
The Intel i9-9900K is the new flagship CPU from Intel that will come out at the beginning of next year. This CPU will use one socket while being compatible with mainstream motherboards, and it should be available for cheaper than most CPUs on the market right now. Here, we have an example of an Intel i9-9900K benchmark showing it received 281.22 GOP’s which is higher than the AMD Ryzen 2700X at 239.16 GOP’s. Interestingly enough – the AMD Ryzen 2700X CPU has 8 cores and 16 threads yet only manage to get lower than the Intel i9-9900K’s single thread performance…
If you’re considering building your own computer or upgrading an existing one, the first thing you’ll probably want to look at is the type of RAM. How much RAM do I need? In 2021 when RAM prices finally came down, many consumers were once again able to purchase what they wanted rather than settle for something lesser – which is likely why there was so much activity in this area. It’s always a debate among computer enthusiasts what size of memory to buy. An 8 GB module or 16 GB modules? In reality, the majority of laptops you can find…

Computers rely heavily on storage. Ever since the days of clunky disks over half a decade ago, storage has been imperative for every computer user. For many people, it’s also among the most fragile part because it holds all your personal data. Though there are some excellent options out there, they’re nowhere near as fast or reliable when compared to today’s standards and often fail without notice. Making sure you research whatever drives you to plan on using beforehand will save time in the long run because if anything happens to them – then you’ll be prepared ahead of time.…
Everybody has heard about the criticality of RAM in a computer system. It is an essential part for any device to work effectively. One should never forget that selecting it isn’t enough – one needs to make sure they choose the right type if they want their system to run smoothly and without any complications whatsoever. For example, our tests showed us that there was a notable difference between running a machine with 2x16GBs or 4x8GBs of RAM at 3200MHz speeds; we were able to do many things at once without encountering bottlenecks and could multitask quickly due to its…
Computer cases can be found everywhere – from big retailers to small markets. They come in all shapes and sizes and offer different features, so it’s easy to become lost when looking for the right one for you. Fortunately, there are many options out there – like micro-ATX or mini-ITX – to ensure that you find the perfect case for your computer needs. For instance, micro-ATX cases accommodate micro-ATX boards while mini-ITX accommodates mini-ITX boards; they’re both different with their own advantages as well as disadvantages depending on what you need out of a case. So go ahead, give them…

For any game lover, the thought of playing games at the highest resolutions with all settings turned up to max sounds like a dream come true. The experience of gaming on 2K or even 4K resolution is something only achievable by those who can afford it – and everyone should feel privileged enough to be able to do so without fail. However, such power-hungry requirements require an equally powerful graphics card – which means you’ll either need an Nvidia GTX 1080Ti GPU or AMD Vega 64 GPU if you want all the bells and whistles enabled across your favorite titles.…
