Feature: Playing your cards right
Just when you thought our best graphics card list was set in stone, Nvidia go and release yet another new GPU in the form of the RTX 2080 Super. Priced exactly the same as AMD's Radeon 7 graphics card but offering substantially more performance, Nvidia's top-end RTX Super GPU is now the graphics card to beat for 4K gaming (outside of their ludicrously expensive RTX…
Feature: Ryzen up the ranks
After years of playing catch-up to their Intel rivals, AMD have definitely come out swinging with the launch of their new Ryzen 3000 CPUs. Their high-end Ryzen 7 3700X, for example, made a pretty good impression when I reviewed it a couple of weeks ago, and as an overall value for money play is probably well worth considering over Intel's Core i7-9700K, even if its…
Feature: And which one should you buy?
Nvidia RTX 2070 vs 2070 Super vs AMD RX 5700 XT: Which is best?
Over the last seven days, you might have noticed there have been a lot of new graphics cards shaking up our [block id="604467" title="Best graphics card"] list. First we had Nvidia's pair of RTX Super cards, the RTX 2060 Super and the RTX 2070 Super, and just a couple of days ago they were joined by AMD's RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT. Yesterday, I…
Feature: And should you upgrade to an RTX 2060 Super or RX 5700 XT?
It's all gone a bit Game of Thrones in the world of [block id="604467" title="Best graphics card"]s this week. Having enjoyed a very comfortable stint on the 1440p Iron Throne ever since it rose to power in February of this year, Nvidia's RTX 2060 was just about to assure its legacy with the birth of the RTX 2060 Super card when AMD pitch up and…
Feature: Sort of, yes, but also not really
Earlier this week, I put together a list of what I think are the best gaming CPUs you can buy today. At the top end of the scale was Intel's Core i7-9700K, a £350 / $365 processor that, at least in my admittedly rather limited, non-water-cooled PC, was easily the fastest CPU for gaming that didn't cost an absolute fortune *cough*Intel Core i9-9900K, I'm looking…
Feature: But you probably still shouldn't buy it
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X review: Finally, some competition for Intel’s Core i9-9900K
Should you ever spend $500 on a gaming CPU? Personally, I think you'd be mad to spend that kind of money on a processor, especially when Intel's Core i7-9700K offers such incredible gaming performance for about two thirds of the cost. If you are one of these so-called power users with $500-odd to spare on getting the absolute bestest best gaming CPU money can buy,…
Feature: Turning up the heat on Nvidia's RTX Super GPUs
Man alive, I was a bit worried about AMD's Radeon RX 5700 XT for a minute there. Not from a pricing point of view, you understand. Even before AMD did their unexpected Navi price cut on Friday, I was always semi-confident that this supposed RTX 2070 rival would be able to hold its own against Nvidia's RTX Super competitor simply by virtue of already being…
Feature: AMD's first Navi GPU demands you sit up and LISTEN
What a whirlwind week it's been over in [block id="604467" title="Best graphics card"] land. Just as we were getting all excited about the launch of AMD's Navi cards, Nvidia went and crashed the party with their pair of RTX Super cards. Offering superior performance for roughly the same price as AMD's Navi GPUs, it looked like it was curtains for AMD before they'd even had…
Shots fired as AMD cut price of Navi GPUs just before launch to combat Nvidia’s RTX Super cards
AMD's Navi cards are just over 24 hours away from release right now, but after having been gazumped by Nvidia's RTX Super graphics cards earlier in the week, AMD have just announced a little gazumping of their own in the form of an unexpected price cut for both the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT. How about that for a nice bit of friendly competition,…

Best gaming CPU 2019: The top AMD and Intel processors for gaming
As we gear up for the launch of AMD's Ryzen 3000 CPUs on July 7th, I thought it was high time to take a look at all the best gaming CPUs they'll be going up against.

AMD’s Ryzen 9 3950X is a ludicrous 16-core monster gaming CPU
If a big reveal of two new [block id="682017" title="AMD Navi"] GPUs wasn't enough this evening, AMD also announced the world's first 16-core gaming CPU in the form of the Ryzen 9 3950X. The monstrous gaming CPU is now the top dog of AMD's Ryzen 3000 series, sitting above the previously-announced Ryzen 9 3900X, which made its debut back at Computex a couple of weeks…

Feature: The mother of all questions
Your motherboard and CPU are two of the most important parts of your PC, but untangling the mess of motherboard sockets, chipsets and which ones work with which CPUs can be an absolute nightmare if you're building a PC for the first time - especially when there's a whole new crop of them about to be released over the next few months. It's important you…

Total War: Three Kingdoms graphics performance: How to get the best settings on PC
Playing a Total War game has always been a bit of an uphill battle on PC. With their detailed maps and densely-populated armies, they're some of the most graphically-intensive games around today - and if you've read any of the graphics card reviews I've done here at RPS, you'll know that Total War: Warhammer II is one of the regular games I use for benchmarking.…
Well, so much for waiting until June for the reveal of AMD's Navi GPUs at their big E3 event, as the latest rumours suggest we could see two Navi GPUs announce themselves to the world in less than a week - mostly likely when AMD take to the stage at this year's big Computex tech show over in Taiwan. Codenamed the Navi XT and Navi…

Rage 2 graphics performance: How to get the best settings on PC
Welcome back to the wasteland, you raving bunch of lunatics, because today's the day that Rage 2 finally blasts its way onto PC.

Nvidia GTX 1650 vs RX 570: Clash of the 1080p graphics cards
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 is the latest graphics card in Nvidia's budget-oriented Turing line-up. Aimed at 1080p gamers looking to get 60fps on either Medium to High settings, it's a tempting buy for just £139 / $149. But when the 8GB version of AMD's Radeon RX 570 can be found for practically the same amount of money these days, the battle for which graphics…
