Following a recent leak revealing the plan, AMD has confirmed that it has slashed the prices for its Radeon RX 5700, RX 5700 XT, and the RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary Edition graphics cards. The move is a direct response to the NVIDIA 'Super' graphics cards, with AMD saying as part of its announcement, 'We embrace competition, which drives innovation to the benefit of gamers.'
We're sorry to say it, but if you recently purchased an RTX 2060, 2070, or 2080, then NVIDIA just made an announcement that'll likely make you regret that purchasing decision. Today, NVIDIA announced its new line of RTX Super graphics cards. Comprised of "Super" versions of the three cards we just named, this new line promises more performance at price points that are either similar or just straight up the same as existing cards in the RTX 20-series.
For the past couple of years, Razer has been re-releasing some of its gaming accessories as part of its Mercury Collection, which gives all of those peripherals a white redesign. Today, Razer revealed the Mercury Collection for 2019, and there are nine accessories joining the collection in all, from mice and keyboards to microphones and even a PlayStation 4 controller.
There probably isn't a mouse around as well known as Microsoft's IntelliMouse. The line has been around since 1996 with Microsoft releasing a number of new iterations over the past 23 years, and the latest one was announced today. Say hello to the Pro IntelliMouse, a new device that stands alongside 2017's Classic IntelliMouse.
ASUS is taking an interesting angle with its latest high-end motherboard. While we'd expect many motherboards coming from ASUS to be aimed at gamers or mainstream PC builders, this new one is all about cryptocurrency mining. Say hello to the ASUS H370 Mining Master motherboard.
Amazon is starting the week off with a bang. Today's deal of the day is all about PC gaming hardware and accessories, so if your rig could use a bit of an upgrade, you might want to have a look at what's on offer. Sadly, the deals are mostly limited to storage and peripherals, so you won't be finding discounts on things like GPUs and processors.
Building a new PC is an exciting time in any gamer's life, but at the moment, it can be a frustrating process. Trying to track down graphics cards at manufacturer-suggested prices can feel like a fool's errand at times, thanks to increased demand for GPUs from cryptocurrency miners. In addition, rounding up all of the parts you need can be a stressful process, but AMD may have found an answer to both problems with its new Combat Crate.
ASUS is expanding its range of external graphics docks today with the announcement of the XG Station Pro. Perhaps meant to be the more subtle brother of the gaming-focused ROG XG Station 2, the XG Station Pro's purpose is to bring desktop-level graphics power to your more portable notebook. The design of the XG Station Pro is certainly more subdued than that of the ROG XG Station 2, but both of them share some non-aesthetic similarities nonetheless.
Today is a pretty exciting day for NVIDIA fans, as the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti has arrived to take a few swings at AMD's Vega 56 platform. In many cases, Vega 56 was able to go toe-to-toe with the original GTX 1070, even exceeding it in terms of power in a few different tests. The GTX 1070 Ti seems almost single-mindedly crafted to turn that match on its head, so does it succeed in those efforts?
As far as graphics cards are concerned, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 is one of the most powerful on the market. A top-of-the-line card in every respect, GPUs like the GTX 1080 usually end up taking up a lot of space in your case. Gigabyte is hoping to solve that issue by introducing its new GeForce GTX 1080 Mini ITX today.
Logitech has arrived at IFA 2017 with a trio of new gaming peripherals in its G-series of accessories. The mouse and keyboard being introduced today both carry Lightspeed branding, which means that they're both wireless. Generally, that would be a no-go for a gamer concerned about cutting down on latency as much as possible, but Logitech promises that the Lightspeed technology built into these accessories will be up to snuff.
Even though neither CPU has shipped yet, the battle between Intel's incoming Core i9 and AMD's Ryzen Threadripper is already heating up. Aside from the die-hard fans of both companies doing their standard chirping from one another, we now have published clock rates for both camps. As it turns out, Intel's Core i9 could still be outpaced by Ryzen Threadripper, at least in terms of overall clock speed.
