Rising RAM prices have made upgrading your PC more expensive. Virtual RAM is a less expensive way of boosting an older computer's performance, but it has limited use cases because it can't match the speed of physical RAM.

Opera GX on Linux offers a unique GX Control feature that allows users to manage memory limits, network limits, and control resource-heavy tabs, enhancing performance and user experience.

Gaming Linux FR is the first French-speaking video game community on Linux. We run a space where our members can share resources, knowledge, and experiences to fully enjoy gaming on Linux.

Microsoft first rolled out Advanced Shader Delivery in its SDK last September and added support to the ROG Xbox Ally as a proof of concept by October. Microsoft said that the addition reduced launch times in games like Avowed by "as much as 85 percent," which is a big deal on battery-limited handhelds.

Microsoft PC Manager, which first appeared in beta form in 2022, and is now available for free to anyone who wants to give it a try. Microsoft promises it "effortlessly enhances PC performance with just one click," and will "keep your PC running smoothly." In other words, it's intended to clean up some of the clutter and baggage that your PC may have accumulated over the years.

On the official Crimson Desert website, developer Pearl Abyss has delivered a chunky post breaking down five different sets of PC requirements for the upcoming open-world action RPG. Each set indicates the graphics preset being used - and crucially, the resolution and framerate targets you can expect with each.

This mini PC is truly compact. It easily fits in the palm of your hand and can squeeze into tighter, cluttered workspaces with ease. If you prefer a cleaner, more minimal setup, you can even mount it behind your monitor, or under the desk to keep it out of sight. Performance is seriously impressive. The mini PC comes equipped with an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 7730U processor that clocks up to 4.5GHz.

NVIDIA has unveiled the G-Sync Pulsar, which it calls the "latest evolution of [its] pioneering VRR (variable refresh rate) technology," at CES 2026. The new tech promises a gaming experience that's free of stutter with buttery smooth motion, which is made possible by pulsing the display's backlight. G-Sync Pulsar displays have multiple horizontal backlight sections that are pulsed independently from top to bottom, unlike traditional displays whose backlight is always on.

User reviews on Steam may get more informative after a Steam Client Beta update released on Thursday, which adds an option for users to attach their hardware specs to game reviews. Steam users have always been able to share their specs in the text of their reviews, but the option to automatically include that data could encourage more users to add it, potentially making reviews more useful.

The Ryzen 7 9850X3D features the same 8-core, 16-threads design as the 9800X3D, as well as the same 96MB L3 cache that makes these chips especially suited for gaming workloads. Thanks to the higher level of binning, the 9850X3D can now hit 5.6GHz clock speeds, up from the 9800X3D's 5.2GHz, at the same 120W TDP. This is an almost 8% increase in clock speed, and should make the 9850X3D the fastest gaming CPU in AMD's lineup, and consequently, on the market.

As documented by a few different channels on YouTube, Borderlands 4 on Steam Deck is technically playable, but looks extremely rough, features plenty of input lag, runs poorly at its default settings, and doesn't at all seem worthy of Steam's Verified badge. That's supposed to signal to players that a game will be a great experience with no tweaking needed on the aging portable PC. But that's simply not true of Borderlands 4 on Steam Deck.

At launch, Synapse Web will only support the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro keyboards, though Razer says more devices will be added down the line. Using any Chromium-based browser, users can make quick changes to key settings, apply Chroma RGB quick effects and manage on-board profiles. These profiles can then be viewed, edited and saved directly to the keyboard's device memory, so the configuration stays consistent when moving between PCs.
