PS5 Pro makes the PC more relevant than ever

THE PS5 PRO has arrived. It's far, far more powerful than the plain old PS5, but it's also a lot more expensive at $700. Does the PS5 Pro make gaming PCs look like good value again? Or are GPU prices still so high, you'd have to be very serious about PC gaming to overlook Sony's latest console?

Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation

EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

How to repair your graphics cards

WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE. Just picture it for a moment: you’re rampaging through your favorite game, decimating monsters left right and center, silver sword drawn, coated in oil, and then suddenly, pop! System crash. What the heck?! The PC reboots, you get back in-game, then five minutes later, the same again. Try one more time. Three minutes later, wham! The game closes to desktop. Frustrated, annoyed, and disgruntled, you shut the machine down. Time to sit down and actually do some work.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?

WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
