After seeing discounts on AMD’s first 6000-series graphics cards last month, we’re now also seeing deep cuts to the more recent 6X50 models - including the subject of this piece, the Radeon RX 6950 XT....

After a $250 savings, get an RX 6700S + Ryzen 9 6900HS model for $1399. I don’t spend a ton of time testing gaming laptops these days, but one of my recent favourites was the Zephyrus G14.

This is backed with a 1TB NVMe SSD and 16GB of DDR5 RAM (!...

Lo-fi* beats to have your rag-tag army chewed through to. (*As far as I know it’s not actually lo-fi.) PvP servers are also being readied, so you can finally solve that pesky argument with your friend about whose wildly underequipped army of squishy soldiers would come out on top....

Take advantage of Steam’s improved Nintendo Switch controller support ASteam Beta updatehas made it far easier to use Nintendo Joy-Cons on a PC. Before this update, it was technically possible to employ the Nintendo Switch’s detachable controllers as Windows gamepads, but getting them working required some relatively tricky third-party software. Now, you’ll still need to pair your Joy-Cons over Bluetooth, but Steam will handle the complicated bits itself – just like it does whenusing a PS5 DualSense controller on PC....

The collected Tour De Jeux After five weeks, 12 posts, 14 games, and 11,146 words, my cycling tour of PC gaming ended on Friday. I’ve crossed the active warzones of GTA Online and PUBG, stunted down murderous descents in extreme sports games, tried to learn serious bike race tactics in strategy games, gone for a weird ride in a walking simulator, and even needed to ride my real bike for a game powered by Strava....
