Jacob Roach / Digital Trends AMD’s RDNA 4 graphics cards (also referred to as the Radeon RX 8000 series) are already on the horizon, but they’re still a bit of a mystery. Fortunately, while AMD is still keeping quiet about its next-gen GPUs, various leakers break up that silence with plenty of rumors and tantalizing speculation. Most likely set to launch this year, RDNA 4 GPUs may give Nvidia a run for its money, but will they be able to compete against some of the best graphics cards from the upcoming RTX 50-series?…

Why it’s the right time to buy an older gaming laptop

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends / Digital Trends Typically, buying the latest hardware is recommended. When it comes to gaming laptops, each year we see new GPUs and CPUs that are worth the extra cash — or even waiting a few months for. But this year, things are different. We’ve just seen a slew of new gaming laptops unveiled during CES 2024, but if it’s extra performance you care about, you won’t find much new. The truth is, unless there’s a new design or display you’re eyeing, you’re most likely better off saving some…

The best GPU to upgrade to from an RTX 3060

Digital Trends Nvidia’s RTX 3060 is a certified legend. It’s the most popular graphics card in gaming PCs, according to the Steam hardware survey, and that makes sense. For gamers playing at 1080p, you can’t ask for more than what the RTX 3060 offers between its low price, 12GB of VRAM, and features like Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). But where do you go from there? If you picked up an RTX 3060 over the last couple of years and you’re looking to take your PC gaming to the next level, I rounded up the…

Why I’m feeling hopeful about Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends I won’t lie — I was pretty scared of Nvidia’s RTX 50-series, and I stand by the opinion that those fears were valid. They didn’t come out of thin air; they were fueled by Nvidia’s approach to GPU pricing and value for the money. However, the RTX 40 Super refresh is a step in the right direction, and it’s one I never expected to happen. Nvidia’s most recent choices show that it may have learned an important lesson, and that’s good news for future generations of graphics cards. The price of…

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…

The prices of some GPUs are rapidly dropping

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends It shouldn’t come as a surprise, but the prices of some of the best graphics cards are rapidly dropping. We just got off a month of hardware launches, spearheaded by Nvidia’s RTX 40-series Super refresh, and those launches have caused some major shifts in the prices of older GPUs. The most prominent example of that is the RTX 4070 Ti. Nvidia released its RTX 4070 Ti Super about two weeks ago. The Super version is set to replace the base model, but plenty of units remain in stock. Now, you…
