When AMD announced its RX 480, it made it clear the new Polaris family would target the mainstream market rather than the high end. Nvidia launched the GTX 1060 in response, and the 1060 generally outpaces the RX 480, albeit at a higher price point. Now, Nvidia has launched a new GTX 1060 at $200 to compete against AMD’s lower-end 4GB RX 480 — but despite calling it a 1060, there are some ...
Earlier this week, Oculus opened pre-orders for systems and configurations that it believes will deliver an acceptable VR experience.

Jason Evangelho of Forbes sat down with AMD to talk ...

The 2D graphics performance improved, but Intel’s 3D capabilities were more-or-less terrible until the launch of Sandy Bridge. Since Sandy Bridge debuted, Intel ...

While it didn’t offer quite as much performance as the Fury X or Radeon Fury, it blew the power efficiency of both cards out of the water. It was an incredible card for small form factor PCs, and packed considerably more firepower into the smallest high-end GPU we’ve ever seen. The one downside? Price. ...

The company laid out its plans for graphics technology in 2016, including new FreeSync options and support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) monitors. Current monitors and displays are only capable of reproducing ...
