Xbox Cloud Gaming Unlimited is coming to an end. Beginning in November 2026, Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential customers will receive 15, 10, and 5 hours of cloud streaming per month, respectively. You can either wait until the next billing period or purchase additional time via the Xbox Store after that bank is zero….
Intel Arc G3 Extreme vs Ryzen Z2 Extreme: Since the release of the first ROG Ally, AMD has controlled the market for portable gaming PCs. That run has ended. In independent testing, Intel’s Arc G3 Extreme—the company’s first processor designed expressly for mobile gaming rather than repurposed from a laptop lineup—is currently outperforming AMD’s Ryzen…
Best Handheld Gaming PC 2026 For three years, portable gaming PCs felt like a backpack-sized scientific project. This year, that was altered. The ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X20, Acer Predator Atlas 8, and MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ all come equipped with Xbox Mode, Hall-effect or TMR controllers, and 80Wh battery capacities—a level of basic…
DLSS 5 on AMD GPU Someone got Nvidia’s DLSS 5 running on an AMD graphics card. It works. It’s also barely playable. In a project titled DLSS-NR-on-AMD, a modder going by the handle danielblnc loads Nvidia’s neural rendering DLL onto RDNA 4 hardware, such as the RX 9070 XT. Cyberpunk 2077 ran at less than…
Nvidia RTX 60 Series Release Date For the first time since the firm released the GeForce 256 in 1999, Nvidia has not released a single new gaming GPU architecture in 2026. The earliest replacement, the RTX 60-series, isn’t anticipated until 2028, ending the 30-year run of annual or biennial GeForce releases. It’s not a chip…
A category-level comparison of processing lag, response time, and game mode impact across monitors and TVs for console gaming, showing why forgetting game mode is a much bigger mistake on a TV than a monitor.
A tested breakdown of display processing lag and frame rate stability at 4K120 versus 1440p120 on console, isolating why Performance mode reduces real, felt input lag more than raw display hardware differences do.
A tested comparison of console headset connection methods, measuring real audio latency from wired 3.5mm to proprietary 2.4GHz dongles to Bluetooth workarounds, and why neither PS5 nor Xbox natively supports Bluetooth headset audio.
A technical breakdown of how VRR and ALLM function on PS5 and Xbox, including measured proof that correctly configured VRR adds no meaningful input lag, plus the common setup mistakes that cause both features to fail silently.
We tested official wireless connections against third-party “1000Hz” polling dongles on PS5 and Xbox, measuring real round-trip latency to see whether the advertised polling rate actually reduces lag on console.
