Competition in the GPU space is good news for PC gamers because it leads to innovation and better value. However, outside of entry-level and mainstream performance, NVIDIA and GeForce dominate the discrete offerings, followed by AMD and Radeon.

So even though it was humorous that the Chinese-developed Moore Threads MTT S80 got destroyed by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti when we checked in on its performance last year - it would have been excellent to have seen it reach the heights its hardware and specs point to. 16GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, MUSA architecture delivering 14.4 TFLOPS of raw performance.

Well, it looks like we can add another knockout blow to the Moore Threads MTT S80, as German publication Computerbase has posted some new benchmark results that show the Ryzen 7 8700G with its integrated Radeon 780M graphics outperforming the MTT S80 by up to 90%.

Porsche has just finished launching its new Taycan Turbo GT electric vehicle, and the company had a surprise for Apple Vision Pro users close to the end of its presentation.

The livestream was predominately dedicated to the new Taycan Turbo GT EV but also featured a surprise appearance from Apple CEO Tim Cook, who congratulated Porsche on its new EV lap record and overall progress in the EV market. The Apple CEO commented on the demonstration by Porsche CEO Oliver Blume, who can be seen using the coming Apple Vision Pro app called Race Engineer Cockpit.

The new app is designed to allow Vision Pro users to experience different angles of the race all at once; this includes driver-facing camera angles, over-the-shoulder road perspectives, TV coverage angles, and real-time driving data such as the speed of the vehicle, lap time, battery levels and more.

"NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is the most amazing graphics card to come in a very long time," Anthony wrote in his review of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti in 2017 - seven years ago (and three NVIDIA GPU generations). The flagship GeForce GTX 1080 Ti was a game changer, offering a 35% performance uplift compared to the baseline GeForce GTX 1080 for just $699 USD.

It was expensive at the time, but hindsight is everything. Inflation aside, in 2024, the idea of a flagship GPU priced at $699 is wild-complex hardware, and advanced nodes have steadily driven prices up since the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti hit the scene.

The crown jewel of the Pascal generation, the 1080 Ti is powered by the GP102 chip with its 16nm process, 3584 CUDA Cores, Boost Clock speed of 1582 MHz, and 11 GB or GDDR5X memory.

A week ago, Microsoft teased a new update to DirectX 12 for developers that will usher in "a new era of performance and efficiency." Today, we've got more details on what the new 'Work Graphs' entail and what to expect from PC games that take advantage of this potential game changer. Will it help eliminate or minimize poorly optimized releases? Potentially, the big thing with 'Work Graphs' is that it will help eliminate CPU bottlenecks.

For those needing a crash course in GPU rendering in PC gaming, a CPU bottleneck is a situation where the CPU is limiting the overall performance of the game - leaving untapped GPU horsepower on the table. In my recent review of the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, you can see this in action when playing Horizon Zero Dawn at 1080p. In the chart above, 8 of the most powerful GPUs deliver roughly the same performance because the CPU, engine, or other factors bottleneck performance.

'Work Graphs' aims to reduce the need to use the CPU for tasks and scheduling and switch to a more robust GPU-driven rendering system.

For quite some time Elon Musk has been attempting to compete with Google with various business ventures, with one being the creation of OpenAI to be a counter weight to Google, and now X, formerly Twitter, pushing head first into video adoption.

Before Musk took over Twitter and changed it into X the platform was primarily a text and image-based platform, but that since changed with the integration of video in both long and short form. Now, Elon Musk has teased that X's video capabilities won't be exclusive to desktops, laptops and smartphones, as a dedicated X app is being developed for smart TVs.

Fortune reports, along with Elon Musk teasing the feature via a post to his personal X account, developers behind the scenes are working on a new X app that will be coming to Amazona and Samsung smart TVs first, according to a source that spoke to Fortune. This exclusive report and Elon Musk's post echo X's sentiments published in a recent blog post where the company wants to be seen as a "video-first platform" which is part of the company's overall push to turn X into the "everything app".

It was only a few weeks ago that Apple axed its secretive electric vehicle project internally called Project Titan, and now we have received more details about what the company was working on.

Rumors surrounding an Apple Car have been circulating the internet for 10 years now, with as many as 5,000 employees working on the project at its height of development to 1,400 recently being given the choice of finding a division of the company to enter or laid off. Throughout those 10 years of development, hardly any details about Project Titan were leaked, but now the project is officially canceled Bloomberg's Apple insider Mark Gurman now has many details about it, including what the secret EV would have looked like.

According to the insider, Apple's EV 2020 design was similar to a Canoo Lifestyle Vehicle, or a futuristic minivan that featured adjustable window tint, an all-glass sunroof, a white exterior, whitewall tires, an identical front and back, and full self-driving optimizations. In Apple fashion, the design of Project Titan was completely unique, with its interior echoing Apple's iconic minimalistic design approach, which is seen across all its products. The report states its interior would have featured "seats you'd normally see on a private jet or limousine," and when seated, it felt like sitting in a "contoured bubble."

NVIDIA's next-gen GeForce RTX 50 Series of GPUs, the 'Blackwell' generation, is on track to launch either later this year or early next year, with the flagship GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 leading the pack.

Rumors point to impressive performance gains, part of which could come from NVIDIA's use of next-gen GDDR7 memory. We've been following this closely here at TweakTown, with recent word from a well-known industry insider and leaker "kopite7kimi" confirming on X that the flagship Blackwell GPUs in the upcoming GeForce RTX 50 Series would be using a similar memory interface as the existing GeForce RTX 40 Series.

That would mean the same 384-bit for the GeForce RTX 5090 found in the GeForce RTX 4090. So, where does GDDR7 fit into this picture? Especially now, with new info emerging about its speed.

Final Fantasy XVI's incoming PC port is almost finished and is set to meet its targeted 2024 release date.

Similar its predecessor, FF16 is also coming to PC, and sooner than later from the sound of it. Game producer Naoki Yoshi-P Yoshida tells Game Informer than FF16's PC version is on its last legs of development, and that the team has entered the optimization phase to ensure the game can run on as many PC configurations as possible.

"In terms of where we are in development currently, we're trying to figure out the final stages of optimization right now. When we can release the PC version might be dependent on the system requirements and specifications for PC that players will need, so we're trying to figure that out," Yoshi-P said in a recent interview with Game Informer.

If you're walking around today with an iPhone 15 in your pocket, it's important to remember where that phone came from. The original iPhone shipped in 2007 with just 4GB of storage and it wasn't anywhere near as popular as you might think if you see how many modern iPhones are floating around today. But like so many things we only really appreciate the iPhone now that it's vintage, and if you want to buy one it's going to cost a small fortune - especially if you want an original 4G model that's sealed.

Right now there's one of those 2007 4GB iPhones available for auction, and if it's anything like previous auctions of this kind, things are going to get messy. One of these iPhones selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars isn't beyond the realms of possibility - we've seen it happen before - so all eyes will be on LCG Auctions to see what happens here. The bidding is currently at $10,000 with another two weeks remaining.

This original iPhone is factory sealed as mentioned and there is apparently no sign of fading on the front of the box - where all the best artwork is. Seven of the eight corners are sharp and all edges are flawless, making this about as pristine of an example as you're likely to find. The deal is clean and the auction describes the overall looks described as having very light shelfwear. The iPhone inside is of course brand-new and has never been activated and it probably never will be - assuming such a thing is even possible in 2024.

We've been submerged in a steady stream of gaming handhelds of late, but what about a gaming tablet, of sorts. It's a bad idea, you say?

Well, hold your horses there, because there's a new concept design for such a device - well, technically a 2-in-1, as you can pair it with a keyboard and use it as a laptop - which has won an iF Design Award (in the Gaming category).

This is the Compal Rover Play (Compal is an ODM in Taiwan) and at first glance it looks like a normal tablet, but the clever bit for gamers is the 'FlexiRear Controller' around the back of the device.
