Control by Remedy Games is an open-world third-person shooter- set in a building. Besides the interesting setting, graphics are great and the game has support for multiple NVIDIA RTX raytracing technologies, making this probably the first game where RTX is really worth it.

Control Tested at 8K: NVIDIA TITAN RTX vs AMD Radeon VII Showdown

There, I've said it. Article over. It really should be that easy, because it seriously is the new Crysis. Remedy Entertainment must have sold their soul to the devil, or at least have disappeared into the Hiss, with Control. It is an absolute beauty to play through, especially with RTX turned up all the way.

Dell often rides the bleeding edge, as it wastes little time arming its laptops and desktops with the latest hardware platforms available. At minimum, this means yearly refreshes of its popular product categories.

Overclocking an inexpensive Intel N3450 Apollo Lake or Intel N4100 Gemini Lake CPU is officially not possible due to the locked multiplier, but we have looked into this issue in order to provide a little bit more performance for users of slower PC systems and have even written a small OC Tool. So from now on you can not only overclock a common Intel CPU , but also get some more out of a low budget Intel Apollo Lake system.

Razer Ripsaw HD Capture Card Review

Tired of dealing with lag and sacrificing your system performance while streaming? Or perhaps you’re gaming on a console, and fed up of the poor quality of the built-in game recording features? Then it looks like Razer are here to answer your call for help. The Ripsaw HD is a welcome upgrade on their old model, kicking up the capture quality to 1080 @ 60 FPS. Furthermore, with 4K pass-through, you can still game on your usual monitor at high-resolution without compromising your stream or gaming experience.

Support
Because it captures via HDMI, it’ll work with a vast range of gaming devices. PC, obviously, but Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch, etc are all good. Remember, it’ll work with PS4 Pro and Xbox One X too, but the capture is 1080 @ 60 FPS even when using the consoles 4K output modes.

VR Wars: the RTX 2060 vs. the RX 5700

This is a follow-up to our June VR evaluation where we saw the RTX 2070 move ahead of the GTX 1080 and solidly beat the liquid-cooled RX Vega 64 in VR performance. We now present another eleven-game VR performance face-off between the Navi Red Devil RX 5700 versus the Turing RX 2060 Founders Edition (FE) measuring frametimes and unconstrained performance using FCAT VR.

Since we posted our original review over two and one-half years ago, we have benchmarked VR games for our follow-up reviews over the past thirty months. We have also compared FCAT VR with our own video benchmarks using a camera to capture images directly from the Rift’s lens. For BTR’s VR testing methodology, please refer to this evaluation.
