Intel has updated its Binary Optimization Tool (IBOT) software, adding performance enhancements for seven games including Hollow Knight: Silksong, Homeworld 3, and Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition.

It's the most powerful gaming CPU money can buy, but you really shouldn't.
The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition offers marginal gaming performance gains over the 9950X3D for a significantly higher price, making it an impractical choice for most PC gamers. While it shows some benefits in specific scenarios due to its dual 3D V-Cache design and symmetrical clock speeds, its high cost, power consumption, and thermal output do not justify the expense for its limited advantages.
Turns out you yearn for the return of PC Gamer's two favourite genres just as much as we do
A PC Gamer poll revealed that Real-time Strategy and Immersive Sims are the most desired comeback genres among players. Other popular choices included MMOs and point-and-click adventures, indicating a strong nostalgia for '90s and 2000s PC gaming staples. Despite past hopes, the RTS genre has struggled to regain its former glory, while immersive sims remain a niche but beloved category.
Can overclocking get 8 GB AMD and Nvidia graphics cards to the performance of their 16 GB versions? Yes, but I've…
This analysis investigates whether overclocking 8 GB AMD and Nvidia graphics cards can match the performance of their 16 GB counterparts. While benchmarks show overclocked 8 GB cards can often close the gap, real-world in-game testing, particularly in VRAM-intensive titles like The Last of Us Part I, suggests that the limitations of 8 GB VRAM cannot always be overcome, even with overclocking.
I loved the 16 GB version, but the RX 9060 XT 8 GB falls slightly short of expectations
The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB graphics card offers decent 1080p and 1440p performance for its price, but its 8 GB of VRAM can significantly hinder performance in certain games compared to the Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB. While it runs cool and quiet, its performance limitations, especially in VRAM-intensive titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Last of Us Part I, make it a less compelling option than its slightly more expensive competitor, particularly at current market prices.
The RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB punches hard for the cash, but 8 GB of VRAM does have its limits
The Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB graphics card offers strong performance for 1080p and 1440p gaming at its $380 MSRP, often outperforming the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 8 GB. However, its 8 GB of VRAM can be a limitation in certain VRAM-intensive games and at higher resolutions, causing performance drops compared to 16 GB variants. Despite this, it provides reasonable value in the current market, especially when considering its competitive pricing against AMD's offerings.
Intel's new 200K Plus chips support ultra-fast DRAM out of the box but as my tests show, there's little benefit for most PC gamers in using warp-speed stuff
Intel's new Core Ultra 200S Plus processors support ultra-fast DDR5 DRAM speeds of up to 7,200 MT/s. However, testing reveals minimal performance benefits for most PC gamers, with improvements rarely exceeding 5% and often falling within the margin of error. Faster DRAM is only beneficial in highly memory-dependent games or specific scenarios, and even then, the gains may not justify the cost.
