Battlefield 1 Benchmarked: Graphics & CPU Performance

Battlefield 1 marks the fifteenth installment to EA's multiplayer military shooter franchise. The BF1 beta made a strong first impression with great graphics that weren't overly demanding. After testing 41 graphics cards and 20 processors in our Gears of War 4 benchmark feature, we wanted to do the same for Battlefield 1 and for the most part we succeeded.

GIGABYTE Force H5 Review

It has been a while since we had a good look at a GIGABYTE branded headset. This time we have a look at the SRS virtual surround powered Force H5. It bears a similar sleek aesthetic as the earlier Force H3X, and is a relative lightweight 288g (without cable). The earcups are ergonomically designed and padded with soft memory foam, they can also swivel 360 degrees to ensure a comfortable fit. The Force H5 is equipped with 50mm drivers that are acoustically inclined to ensure the the best quality audio is received by the gamer. For communication there is a retractable, flexible microphone.

As the Force H5 fills the role of the virtual surround, USB gaming headset, GIGABYTE have come up with an interesting solution for the built in audio processing and interactive controls.

MSI RX 470 Gaming X 8G Review

Where you can add FPS performance without compromising the settings you use in-game is by overclocking. MSI builds some headroom into its Gaming series cards and this one is no different. I was able to run the boost clock speed all the way up to 1410MHz using 1120mv and keep it there throughout my testing. No small feat when you look at how easily this architecture from AMD will throttle clock speeds. By building a robust power delivery system on a custom PCB using Military Class IV Super Ferrite chokes, Tantalum-filled Hi-C caps, and solid capacitors, you can set the voltage right where you need it to keep from overloading the circuitry. Delivering clean reliable power is but one part of the equation. Keeping the silicon cool is another.
