Abstract: Aside from all the games published by so-called triple-A studios every now and then there is a game that, despite having a much smaller budget, still gets a lot done. Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one such game. The video cards in our test lab are mobilize...

Abstract: After what seemed like an age of waiting and unrelenting hype, the AMD Vega GPUs have arrived. And, in a bit of a silicon contradiction, they've managed to be simultaneously disappointing and completely sell out.Want to know what the best GPU is right now...

The overall design of the Vega architecture seems to have been about laying a marker in the sand, defining a branching point for future generations of their GPU technology. They've almost sacrificed legacy gaming performance for the promise of future appl...

Radeon RX Vega 56 has the potential to be a GeForce GTX 1070 killer if AMD can make enough of them to hit its pricing target. Although the card uses a lot of power, kicks out quite a bit of heat, and makes more noise than the competition under load, perfo...

The ultimate question is a big one, isn't it! For around £400, there's a lot of hardware to pick from at the Nvidia camp, and more stock too. The Nvidia cards do run more efficiently too, making them a tempting option for any consumer. However, AMD isn't...

In Radeon RX Vega56, AMD has a worthy competitor to Nvidia's popular GTX 1070. The Vega 10-based AMD card offers performance that is generally faster than a GTX 1070 Founders Edition. RX Vega56 also manages to hit a solid performance sweet-spot for 1440P...

If you're looking for an alternative to the GTX 1070, the bottom line is that you're generally getting around 10 to 12 per cent of additional performance with the Vega 56, at the cost of some efficiency. It's also interesting to note just how consistently...
The Radeon RX Vega 64 and RX Vega 56 GPUs are not the performance silver bullets that'll take down the best that rival Nvidia has to offer. Rumours and rumbling preceding the launch indicated these two cards hewn from an all-new architecture would (in)con...
