    NVIDIA Is Now Rumored to Expand its 9 GB Memory Configuration Strategy With RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti GPUs

    A new rumor suggests that NVIDIA could be expanding its plan to offer GPUs with 9 GB VRAM into its mid-performance tiers. With virtually no new consumer GPU offerings from any of the three manufacturers thus far in 2026, truly a first in decades, it appears that NVIDIA could be looking at VRAM...

    Industry Exec Says That Gamers Are More Likely to Compromise on RAM Purchases Before Choosing Smaller-Capacity SSDs

    Recent consumer purchasing trends are painting an interesting picture as gamers adapt as best they can during the current DRAM/NAND shortage. For anyone asleep at the wheel, the PC enthusiast sector saw significant price hikes in memory last summer. Since then, NAND chips have also been added to...

    Metro 2039 Officially Announced — Full Reveal Thursday, 4A Games Returns to Post-Apocalyptic Moscow

    Got it. Totally misunderstood, as many of the posts I've seen in other places are the opposite in praising the underground aspects of the first two, and or comparing it against Stalker. So fair enough, even without those comparisons, I'm aware there are many who didn't like Exodus as much. I...

    Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Is the Official Title of the Classic Game’s Modernized Remake, Which Will Feature New Characters and Stories

    This is the only one I ever played and never got around to finishing, so I'm looking forward to the update. I was mainly into it as a sort of spiritual successor to Sid Meier's Pirates, which I dropped endless hours into between the 8-bit and 16-bit era.

    Pragmata PC Reviews and Benchmarks Drop Today Ahead of Friday Launch — RE Engine Delivers Again

    The good news is that RE Engine has often favored AMD cards in past years. It wasn't until RE Requiem that we truly started to see greater support for NV features so I'd be shocked if the AMD GPUs don't perform well with this.

    Metro 2039 Officially Announced — Full Reveal Thursday, 4A Games Returns to Post-Apocalyptic Moscow

    What I've noticed over the years are that when it comes to these types of games is that players are somewhat split into either Metro or Stalker games and usually folks who like one type don't like the other as much but that's not necessarily always true and there can be more to it than that when...

    Metro 2039 Officially Announced — Full Reveal Thursday, 4A Games Returns to Post-Apocalyptic Moscow

    I just finished my umpteenth replay of Exodus this past weekend and will probably do the DLC missions this weekend. Can't wait until this comes out and might end up doing replays of the first two again (lost track of how times I've played them). The catch with the first two is that the original...

    SK hynix Begins Shipping World’s First 321-Layer QLC SSD — Dell Gets First Dibs

    More layers but on Gen4, hmm, only 1TB and 2TB options has me thinking pricing will be at unobtainium levels.

    Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Is the Official Title of the Classic Game’s Modernized Remake, Which Will Feature New Characters and Stories

    It’s no secret that Ubisoft has been working on a remake of the fourth entry in the Assassin’s Creed franchise, but now a description for it has leaked. Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is the official title for the modernized remake, an obvious tie-in to the Animus device used throughout...

    Denuvo Has Been Broken: Hypervisor Bypasses Enable Day-Zero Cracks, Irdeto Promises a Fix

    and lets not forget the huge amount of potential overhead costs added when a company pays out for DRM such as Denuvo. It's not doing any favors for the price of a game, that's for sure.

An official announcement could happen as early as this week for what has been referred to as Metro 2039. If accurate, this would be 4A Games’ direct follow-up to 2019’s Metro...

    Marathon Has a Long Road Ahead to Profitability After a New Report Claims Sony Spent Nearly $250 Million to Develop

    Yeah and it there is a slight chance it may pay off. We've seen far, far, worse launches than this and folks are at least, mostly, saying good things about it. TBH, I am surprised but what do I know? I don't really play these kinds of games so I'm sitting on the sidelines watching it all play out.

    Microsoft Is Force-Upgrading All Windows 11 24H2 PCs to 25H2, and You Can’t Opt Out

    I agree, even with whatever bugs come along with some of the updates I feel it's still better than becoming vulnerable. I've had some headaches at the office on occasion but still rather deal with them than the alternative.
