Mass Effect is one of those things, it can get personal pretty quickly if you like the genre and remember the fondly sacrificed nights in 2007, 2010 and 2012. I even pulled out the original first part last year and played it on my retro PC. However, I quickly gave it up again, because the real feeling from back then just wouldn’t come back [...]
The ancient Greek god of light knows all too well about well-timed archery shots into the heels of others. Whether these expertises can also be transferred to the performance and illumination of RAM in modern times, however, remains to be seen today. Acer Predator and BIWIN are launching a product series called Apollo, which should live up to the [...]
Of course, when AMD launches the RX 6600XT and RX 6600 soon, we’ll already know most of it.

This has advantages and disadvantages, as we will see in a moment. However, in [...]

You probably remember Intel’s DG1 and the somewhat unsuccessful attempts to get the dedicated DG1 to work at all on the original evaluation system. To those who accused us of negligence and outdated drivers at the time, let me wink and confirm: even with the latest sofware snippets, nothing still moves. Because whether this system was ever [...]
We recently tested the Arctic P12 PWM, with surprisingly good results. And because many readers have almost urged us to test the RGB version as well, we’ll do just that today. And even now I didn’t want to spoil anything, but the RGB variant in form of the Arctic P12 PWM PST A-RGB 0dB is even better. Because apart from the RGB, the [...]
