Stalker: Heart of Chornobyl is out now on PC, with support for NVIDIA's DLSS Super Resolution, DLAA and Frame Generation, Intel's Xe Super Sampling, UE5's Temporal Super Resolution and AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution upscaling and Frame Generation. In this review we compare the image quality and performance gains offered by these technologies.

STALKER is back after 15 years with Stalker 2 that finally transforms the Zone into a seamless open-world filled with dangers, mysteries, and treasures. Let's see how Steam Deck and ASUS ROG Ally fare in the latest rendition of the Zone in our handheld performance review.

Dropping into the packed $500 X870 motherboard segment, Gigabyte has a slightly different take on aesthetics, features and performance. With an updated EFI and software, plus refreshingly functional design elements, lets see how this motherboard fares in our testing.

The Chieftec Visio is a super compact dual-chamber chassis which can still accept a full size ATX or BTF motherboard. With its full fan load-out of six units and large radiator support in the ceiling, it could be a cool option to stuff all that into such a small chassis. Especially at the attractive price point, clearly aiming the Visio at first-time and budget minded builders.

Stalker 2 it out now and brings players back to the wasteland around the Chernobyl nuclear plant. Built using the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5, promises good graphics, but also high hardware requirements. In our performance review, we'll look at the game's graphics quality, VRAM consumption, and how it runs across a range of contemporary graphics cards.

Sennheiser adds to its studio headphones line with the HD 490 PRO. It uses the brand's latest generation dynamic drivers in a new chassis that looks neat and functions even better. Add to this a few clever tweaks throughout and a fully-featured $99 DAW plugin, and the HD 490 PRO makes a compelling argument to be your new music mixing/mastering/producing set of headphones.

The ARCTIC P12 PWM is a fan that needs no introductions, yet has been a missing part of our fan reviews till today. We test the PST version, which offers daisy-chaining support in addition to a long RPM range of control, a zero RPM mode, long warranty, and is quite possibly one of the best value case fans too.

The APNX V1-W is a unique case with its 45° design which incorporates real wood. While this is not the first time we have seen such a material, the V1-W manages to impress with a lot of attention to details as well as solid build quality to set itself apart. Available in six different variants, you also get to pick from a wide range of MSRPs.

SFF gaming systems used to be a luxury option, often expensive and full of compromises. However, recent changes in mainstream hardware have reduced these barriers. NVIDIA’s "Build Small, Play Big" initiative now helps clarify which of their GPUs will work with specific SFF enclosures.

The Shanling M1 Plus is a highly capable and portable digital audio player (DAP) that prioritizes local playback to the point of using its own operating system with pre-installed apps only. There's still Tidal for streaming, but the goal here is to allow the user to lose themselves with music in the absence of any distractions.
