    Giveaway Win one of three Assassin's Creed Valhalla Gold Edition Keys from PC Gamer!

    Maybe a safe pick, but AC2 is still the best for me. It's a HUGE improvement on AC1 and kept the momentum going perfectly. And who can forget uncle mario?

    PC Gamer Reader Awards - tell us about the CPUs you love!

    i7 2600K lasted me from 2011-2019. Overclocks WAY more than any modern chip on basic mobos and was one incredible value.

    PC Gamer Reader Awards - tell us about the graphics cards you love!

    I've had a GPU from almost every gen since the Nvidia 8000 series and I have to say the most impressive one so far is the HD7950 I scored for $125 in 2015 after having to sell my gtx970 off until I got more money. For a 2011 part it's absolutely insane that it can still completely game in 1080p...

    Is it possible that a GPU not getting quite enough power from the PSU could under perform?

    Never blindly max settings, even at 1080p; always know what you have turned on and be aware of any settings that may completely tank performance. That said a 2070 will absolutely crush any game at 1080p. My 2060 laptop was running RDR2 at medium/high over 60. Anyway something is clearly wrong...

    Need suggestions for a budget graphics card to go with a Ryzen 5 2600...

    I would seriously consider the 5700 (non XT to save money) used, some of the most FPS you can get right now and won't be outdated anytime soon. 970 is an absolutely fantastic card, but you'll be shooting yourself in the foot with the Vram limitations soon. I would keep your eyes peeled for GTX...

    PC Gamer Reader Awards - tell us about the monitors you love!

    It had come out not too long after I got the set and actually it was the perfect game to highlight the difference between my old monitor and the TV with the incredible colors and 120hz. Can't even begin to gush enough on how good those colors are and the Spyro remake is one of the most...

    MSI RTX 2070 Super or Gigabyte?

    I absolutely have loved all the RTX cards I've used. Sold my 2080ti and am using a 2070 right now as a placeholder until 3000 series cards My RTX 2060 LAPTOP was able to hit 144hz @1080p in lots of games, so don't you dare upgrade until the new cards come out. 1440p high refresh is the...

    PC Gamer Reader Awards - tell us about the monitors you love!

    I've had quite a few monitors in my PC gaming life, but picking up the 55" LG C9 last October changed my life forever. It's legitimately the first TV that is up to spec as a monitor replacement and I picked the perfect time to switch over and i'm glad every day I did. This is my first high...
