Introduction Wouldn't it be interesting to see what kind of an upgrade the Ryzen 7 9800X3D would be over a Ryzen 7 7700X3D in 2026? We thought so too. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/09/14/a...
Some early access games ship. Most do not (Ed: If we're keeping with the sailing theme, you mean sink, right?). www.thefpsreview.com/2026/09/09/v...
Four months ago the Radeon RX 9070 XT did not appear in the Steam Hardware Survey at all. In our March write-up we noted that RDNA 4 was invisible, with only the plain RX 9070 charting at 0.16% in 99th place and the 9070 XT and 9060 series missing entirely. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/09/09/a...
Neural rendering stopped being a demo this week. DLSS 5 shipped inside NBA 2K27, reviewers got their hands on it, and the picture that emerged is more complicated than either NVIDIA's slides or the "AI slop" crowd suggested. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/09/05/t...
Introduction This review is the second in a small series covering a few of MSI's current lineup of motherboards supporting AMD socket AM4. In this article, we are evaluating the PRO B550M-P WiFi6E, a brand new model for 2026. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/09/03/m...
Image: Seagate Thinking about upgrading your local home storage or perhaps replacing an older solution? Well, prepare for some sticker shock because it's not just NAND or DRAM prices that have skyrocketed. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/09/01/e...
There is a version of driver week where you install the new build, gain some frames, and never think about it again. This is not that week. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/09/01/g...
Nobody who follows this stuff is surprised that Nova Lake-S wants a new socket. What changed this week is who is saying it. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/08/31/i...
Image: Sony Sony's PlayStation 5 Pro sold out in the U.S. at multiple major retail outlets following last week's extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI, thus fueling outrageous scalping. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/08/31/u...
The best-covered product of the week is a 39-inch ultrawide, which tells you something about where display tech is right now. Alienware's AW3926QW put a glossy 5K2K RGB-stripe tandem panel at $1,099 and reviewers spent the week trying to find the catch. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/08/29/t...
Opening Night Live gets the headlines and the celebrity cameos. The Future Games Show is where the release dates live, and this year it delivered a wall of them. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/08/27/t...
The reveals start a day before the doors do. Gamescom 2026 runs August 26 through 30 in Cologne, but Opening Night Live airs Tuesday, August 25, and that is where the year's remaining announcements get made. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/08/25/g...
The culprit behind two weeks of Windows 11 game crashes turns out to be sitting inside your case, glowing. Microsoft has now named RGB peripherals and components as the trigger for the game failures that started after the August 11 Patch Tuesday rollup. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/08/25/m...
Introduction In our review this time around, we are taking a step into the "Way-Back Machine" in a manner of speaking, to evaluate a new/old motherboard from MSI. To say the world of PC enthusiasts has been placed in a blender lately would be a safe bet. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/08/24/m...
AMD spent the week trying to keep a graphics card away from reviewers, which is the surest possible signal that the graphics card is bad. It is, and the numbers are below. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/08/22/t...
Image: Microsoft New details regarding Microsoft's upcoming X25 Limited Edition Xbox Series X have surfaced, including the price of it and its controller. The X25 will launch this Black Friday (per Dealabs) and include a controller for €899.99 in Europe. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/08/21/l...
Introduction Let's catch up with GeForce RTX 5090 gaming performance in 2026. In today's review, we are going to take a look at a factory overclocked GeForce RTX 5090 and see how that compares to the GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition. www.thefpsreview.com/2026/08/17/g...
Introduction Does DDR5-8000 EXPO actually make a difference on the AMD AM5 platform with AMD Ryzen CPUs? The sweet spot for AMD Ryzen CPUs is the DDR5-6000 using the EXPO profile, but what if we upgrade to DDR5-8000 EXPO memory? www.thefpsreview.com/2026/08/06/g...
