Twenty years in, ROG is still finding ways to make a motherboard with nine M.2 slots and an 800-watt graphics card feel like reasonable consumer products. ASUS dropped a significant haul of hardware at Computex 2026 under the “Edition 20” anniversary banner, and while a fair amount of it is...

Forty years in, GIGABYTE is not exactly slowing down. The company used Computex 2026 to unload one of its largest single-show product dumps in recent memory, spanning graphics cards, flagship motherboards, a local AI computing platform, a pair of new monitor lines, and a full peripheral refresh...

Six years into maintenance mode and eleven years removed from its last expansion, StarCraft 2 just received a PTR patch that has the community openly questioning whether they are playing the same game. Blizzard dropped the 5.0.16 PTR notes on May 29, and the changes are, by any reasonable...

Getting 256 GB of DDR5 into a desktop has historically involved a four-slot compromise: fill every DIMM slot, watch your frequencies crater, and cross your fingers on platform stability. Origin Code, the memory brand from storage veteran Biwin, is making its case at Computex 2026 that the...

Thermal paste has been a consumable since PC builders first started slathering it on heatspreaders in the 90s, but a company called Carbice wants to change that. Today, the Atlanta-based thermal interface material developer announced two retail partnerships that put its carbon nanotube pads...

Intel dropped a fresh beta driver for its Arc GPU lineup, and it’s a useful one for anyone planning to run 007 First Light on Arc hardware. Version 32.0.101.8824 adds Game On Driver support for the game across Arc B-series discrete GPUs, A-series discrete GPUs, and the integrated Arc graphics...

After more than two years of players asking for it, Helldivers 2 is getting proper upscaling support today. Arrowhead Game Studios has released the “Optimizing Liberty” patch on May 27, 2026, developed in collaboration with Sony’s Nixxes Software, the same studio responsible for the strong PC...

Bungie’s Marathon has had a rough go of it since launch, landing in the middle of what has been a fairly rough stretch for the studio more broadly. The extraction shooter made a real impression technically, but the community response has been mixed, and sentiment around Bungie has been soured...

IO Interactive spent years after the Hitman trilogy quietly building what could be the best James Bond game in thirty years, and as of today, you can play it. 007 First Light is out now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with the Nintendo Switch 2 version delayed to Q3 2026. Review embargoes...

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE has been a China-only product since its regional debut last year, and for a while it looked like it might stay that way. VideoCardz has obtained images of Sapphire retail packaging for the card with full English branding on the Sapphire PULSE version, replacing the...

The transition to clocked DDR5 modules has been underway for a while now, but having the chips to actually build those modules at the highest speeds is a different conversation. Rambus (Yes, that Rambus: the one that convinced Intel to bet the Pentium 4 platform on RDRAM, a memory standard so...

Bungie announced earlier this month that Destiny 2 would receive one final update, Monument of Triumph, on June 9, 2026, after which active development ends. The game will remain playable in maintenance mode, mirroring how the original Destiny has lingered on since its own support sunset. What...

It took 14 years, an alpha that refuses to end, and a $5,000 spaceship you cannot currently fly to get here, but Cloud Imperium Games has officially crossed the $1 billion crowdfunding milestone for Star Citizen. The funding tracker on Roberts Space Industries’ website ticked past $1 billion on...

It also could be as simple as a matter of bean counting/disclosure guidelines. Given the ramp up of the data center/AI revenue, the gaming revenue might not be material (to the financials) anymore - which usually means it doesn't make sense to report on it separately....

It is the last week before Computex, which means the review pipeline has gone about as quiet as a stock Intel cooler at 100% load. (Ed: Are you saying they’re fanless now? Or they aren’t in the retail box anymore?) Manufacturers are saving their big announcements for the show floor, so what we...
