  • Qualcomm has been making an effort to break through into the computing space, powering recent Windows devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro X with its Snapdragon 8cx chipset. With these chips, Qualcomm is claiming that it can not only take the lead in battery life and connectivity, but also in raw performance. That concession would be worth it if there was something to gain when it comes to performance and battery life, but we’re skeptical. When we reviewed the Microsoft Surface Pro X, hailed b

  • One of the best things about Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC is its ability to run at ultra-high resolutions that games consoles can only dream of, so we ran it at 8K resolution to see how it runs. However considering just how much of a visual treat Red Dead Redemption 2 is, we were expecting a lot worse performance, with the game at 8K essentially being a (very) pretty slideshow. We played the game using a very powerful gaming PC provided by Chillbast, along with Dell’s UltraSharp UP3218K monitor.

  • The last Halo game to make it to PC was Halo 2 all the way back in 2004, back when Windows Vista was still the current operating system. Our test run was essentially a 90 second slice of the second mission “Winter Contingency” at the start of Rally Point: Bravo. Even with the settings at the “Enhanced” level, the entry-level AMD graphics card still managed a solid 37 fps average. This graphics card, ostensibly designed for 1440p gaming at 60 fps, turns into a high-framerate monster at 4K in this
