    What just happened? Nvidia is finally ready to unveil the GeForce RTX 5060 series today, which includes three new graphics cards: the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, the RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, and the RTX 5060. Nvidia seems to be trying to bury the 8GB models, and there are quite a few questionable decisions surrounding this launch. Safe to say, we were unimpressed – and maybe a little confused – by what Nvidia presented to us. To start with, let's focus on the graphics cards and what they offer.

    The Dell Alienware AW2725Q is currently the most affordable 27-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor on the market. While competing brands like Asus and MSI are selling their models for $1,100, this brand-new Alienware is making its debut at just $900 – a sizable 18% savings. Are you getting less at this lower price point, or is Dell simply undercutting the competition and offering better value? Let's find out.

    It's time to cut through the BS and talk about graphics card value based on real-world prices. You've seen the reviews, you know how the latest GPUs stack up based on MSRP, and you also know how those MSRPs are basically fake in many instances. In most regions around the world, you just can't walk into a store and buy a card for the price that AMD and Nvidia advertised, making those prices irrelevant – at least for now, while the market is severely disrupted.

    Well… the GPU market is pretty messed up at the moment. No stock of the cards people actually want to buy, inflated prices when models do become available, and plenty of allegations of fake MSRPs. So what on earth is going on? Why are prices so high? Do GeForce RTX 50 and Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs actually have fake MSRPs? Where do things stand right now? That's exactly what we'll be exploring in this GPU pricing update.

    AMD really needs FSR 4 to be great. Throughout the last two GPU generations, gamers have been abandoning Radeon for GeForce, and a key contributing factor to this is DLSS. Nvidia has continued to improve DLSS upscaling year over year, culminating in their latest release with DLSS 4 which is even better than before. Meanwhile, AMD has been slipping further behind, especially for gaming at popular resolutions like 1440p, as their FSR 2.2 and FSR 3.1 upscalers just haven't been competitive enough.

I'm pretty sure most gaming hardware reviewers play games. Getting into this business was all about a passion for PC gaming. Personally I play a ton of games each year, time permitting. Most of the big single player releases. Currently enjoying Hitman 3

Here's my solution to beat scalpers A queue system implemented by manufacturers that allows loyal customers to go first. The longer you've been a user, and the more active you are in using the product, the better chance you have of buying. Nvidia could implement this in GFE

John Carmack has proposed GPU and console auctions to beat scalpers. This could temporarily drive up the price of PS5s, RTX 3080s, and Xbox Series X consoles, but might eventually cut out scalpers. Details here: https://t.co/NANU5gdT4z https://t.co/3BWdPZTvaW
