Details regarding AMD’s upcoming RX 7800 XT GPU have been hard to come by. In fact, even the name wasn’t confirmed. Speculation is moot, though, after someone at PowerColor accidentally posted the product page for the Red Devil Radeon RX 7800 XT. Oops!
The page (which has obviously been taken down) was spotted by @All_The_Watts (via VideoCardz) and listed a near-complete set of specifications. This surely means the card is coming sooner than we thought. It was only a couple of days ago that AMD CEO Dr Lisa Su said AMD was on track to launch “enthusiast-class” graphics cards before the end of October.
Apart from the TDP of the card and it’s price, this is it, folks. But with this, we can now speculate about how this long-gestating card will perform. With a shader count of 384…
Read moreAsking specific questions of senior CPU or GPU engineers is an interesting exercise. Other than being far more interesting sources of information than marketing folks, engineers sometimes have to think years in the past for an answer. That’s because that engineer is probably already hard at work on the next-next generation product.
Right now, we have relatively little information on Nvidia’s next-gen Blackwell gaming GPUs. But even if we could ask senior engineers about it, they’ll have to think back to Blackwell. At this point in time, Blackwell gaming GPU development is certainly at the post tape-out and software development stage prior to its probable release later this year.
The generation following Blackwell is reportedly named Rubin. It’s named after Ver…
Read morePlayers have been enjoying Stardew Valley’s massive 1.6 update since it arrived back in March—but only if they’re playing on PC. Months later, the update that brought the new meadowlands farm type, several new festivals, support for 8-player co-op, and tons more features and fixes still hasn’t appeared on other platforms like PlayStations 4 and 5, various Xboxes, the Nintendo Switch, and mobile phones.
This delay, expectedly, has led to some impatience among players who have waited for months for the big patch to arrive. Stardew Valley creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone is well aware of all the anxious fidgeting going on in the community as they await news of the update’s release date on other platforms.
“I know it is taking a long time, it’s on my mind every minute,” …
Read moreA recent poll in Japanese gaming rag Famitsu ahead of the release of the Resident Evil 4 remake asked fans of the survival horror series to select their favorite character, as well as the most detestable (via @bioranger_PT on Twitter). Albert Wesker unsurprisingly took the prize for most detestable, with Nicholai Ginovaef from RE3 in second place, and the Licker in third. Funnily enough, Wesker also rated in the favorite characters poll, where he placed sixth.
Number one with a Red9 bullet was Leon Kennedy. He does rock a pretty sweet jacket, but I’ve never really vibed with the guy myself. I assume he made it on the strength of peoples’ love for two of the games he starred in, RE4 and RE2, which topped the section of Famitsu’s poll for the best Resident Evil game. (RE4 came in at…
Read moreAmazon Fall Prime Day is officially over. If you couldn’t partake in the two-day festival of discounts, don’t fret. Many of the best Prime Day deals are still live and in stock. If you’re still looking to upgrade your hardware and save money, these are remaining deals we most recommend checking out.
The best deal of the week is a 32-inch Alienware 34 OLED display for $800. It’s still expensive at that price, of course, but it’s not only one of the best curved ultrawide monitors you can buy, it’s also one of the best OLEDs on the market.
In our review, we were blown away by its impressive response time and brightness, which has been a pain point with many OLED gaming displays this year.
This RTX 4070-powered MSI Aegis R for $1,500 stands out because of its 2TB S…
Read moreFans of smooth movement be advised: Schmoovement has been found in new indie release Pseudoregalia, which hit Steam Friday the 28th from developer rittzler. It’s an exploration-focused Metroidvania platformer that starts simple with little jumps and develops a lot of cool movement synergy as you unlock new abilities.
It also has a chunky, low-poly, retro-inspired vibe, if you’re into that kind of thing.
The simple story revolves around Sybil, who finds herself pulled into a distorted and strange castle “deep within the realm of sleep.” It’s a technically-competent surrealist landscape to platform around, and frames the entire game pretty well, because the real focus here is on platforming and exploring in a way unencumbered by requirements that you do things in proper order …
Read moreBack in February, Elodie Games teased a new co-op action RPG codenamed Project Skies. Today it officially revealed the game, and it’s fair to say that things have changed just a little bit between then and now: It’s called Seekers of Skyveil, and it’s a “PvPvE fantasy extraction RPG” that blends conventional APRG mechanics with an unusual mix of other influences from games like League of Legends and Escape From Tarkov.
Seekers of Skyveil teams players up in groups of three “Seekers” and sends them out into a lush fantasy world on a quest for loot and treasure. But rather than a linear grind where you can come and go and run around as you like, in this game the clock is ticking and you can’t just head for home whenever you feel like it: There’s no town portal mechanic, so the only …

Oof, this one hurt. Halfway down the board, all I had to show for my efforts were an unhelpful pair of greens and no ideas, so I knew it was time to change tactics. I made a short list of all the letters I had remaining and worked backwards from there, slotting likely candidates into place until I finally reached today’s Wordle answer.

Ah, so if it’s not that it’s got to be… no, never mind. I had that thought a few times in a row today, as four green letters sat next to one very stubborn grey. I would’ve liked to have wrapped this game up a little earlier than I did, but then again I’m not sure finding that last letter would have felt as good if I’d got the Wordle answer straight away.
