LanOC Reviews: Sapphire Pulse RX 6500 XT

Shipping delays and issues hit us hard over the last few weeks. The biggest one was our RX 6500 XT launch sample which ended up hung up and delayed in shipping. So I am way late to the party when it comes to checking out how the RX 6500 XT performs. Today I finally get the chance and I’m checking out the Pulse from Sapphire. I know there was drama around this launch (frankly what GPU launched for the last few years hasn’t lol) but I am excited to see how AMD's latest GPU performs and how Sapphire card does at keeping things cool and quiet. So let’s jump in and check it out!

TweakTown: Star Trek III: The Search for Spock 4K Blu-ray Review

The third Star Trek feature is neither as grand nor as compelling as its predecessors, but it scrubs up very well in 4K.
