WE REVIEWED a Velocity Micro PC in our June 2022 issue–the Raptor Z55, which at the time was a performance powerhouse with a Core i9-12900K CPU and RTX 3080Ti GPU. Six months later, the cutting edge has advanced, thanks to the arrival of Intel’s Raptor Lake processors and Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace graphics cards. Velocity Micro has issued a new Raptor, and the Z95 is the first pre-built system we’ve reviewed using this latest generation of components. The eagle-eyed among you will spot it has a similar spec to the machine we built last month (Holiday 2022 issue), incorporating an Intel Core i9-13900K, RTX 4090, and 32GB DDR5 RAM. Given that was a machine we loved for 4K gaming and creativity, is this pre-built the way to go for those who don’t want to go about making their own?

Fun and graphics card games at CES 2025
WE ALL KNEW what was coming at CES: a bunch of graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia. They were pretty much exactly as predicted, albeit with some surprises. AMD managed to botch the launch of its RDNA 4 cards, while Nvidia played 3D chess with the pricing of its new RTX 50 cards.
