PlayStation Pulse Elite Review

PlayStation Pulse Elite HeadsetThe PlayStation Pulse Elite would be a great headset with several fun and innovative peripherals, but it's far too uncomfortable.PlayStation's latest first-party headset uses Bluetooth to connect with PlayStation 5, PC, and mobile.

Brilliant AR Capabilities At a Price

I had just 30 minutes to test out Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro headset. Others who received a review unit from Apple or purchased one themselves have spent a week or more with it by this point. We’ve seen a lot of interesting use cases for the headset and an equal number of people hawking dumb and potentially dangerous Vision Pro clips for clicks. The latter has gotten so notorious they’ve been dubbed “Vision Bros.” After my short stint in Apple’s new, beautiful, and very impressive “spatial” environment, I’m not sure if…

It’s relatively well optimized and doesn’t run terribly, but even those of you running top-tier gaming PCs might want to…

You’d be right to be skeptical, and even though these new…

The best GPUs if you’re upgrading from a GTX 1650

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Nvidia’s GTX 1650 is nothing short of a legendary graphics card. The humble, budget-focused GPU has achieved a massive status among PC gamers, sitting at the top of the Steam hardware survey for years. It’s taken a back seat to Nvidia’s newer RTX 3060 in recent months, but it’s still owned by around 4% to 5% of gamers who take part in the Steam hardware survey. It’s starting to age out of relevance, however. The GTX 1650 is four years old, and it’s struggling to keep up with modern games…
