Blur Busters has released TestUFO 3.0, a new version of its browser-based display testing suite.
TestUFO is used by monitor reviewers, YouTubers, and perhaps the most important group: enthusiasts, who need repeatable motion tests that viewers can also run at home. It is also used by display makers and educators, since it works in a web browser and does not require installing a dedicated app.

ONDA has released the Z790PRO-WIFI-B4, a LGA1700 motherboard built around Intel’s Z790 chipset, but with four DDR4 DIMM slots instead of DDR5. It is priced at 779 yuan, which converts to about $111 at current rates.
The timing is interesting because DDR4 motherboard options are narrowing on the mainstream desktop side.
Russian YouTubers PRO HiTech shared an interesting approach to the DDR5 price hike. They are sharing a money-saving idea: build your own DDR5 RAM by combining empty modules with separate memory chips, as suggested by Viktor “Vik-on,” a known modder and repair technician. He says he is moving from upgrading GPUs with extra VRAM to assembling full DDR5 DIMMs.
The basic parts are now easy to source. Chinese sellers offer bare DDR
Content creator LCLDIY posted a new build that turns a LEGO-inspired handheld shell into a working “big screen” retro gaming display. The project targets CRT-like softness without the bulk of an actual cathode ray tube. Pixel art games can look harsh on modern flat panels. CRTs hide that with interlaced scanning and phosphor glow. LCLDIY wanted a thin display that still produces a soft, glowing image. All that, while making the original GameBoy handheld larger (for
Cooler Master already offers an ARGB version of its VGA holder, but it has one major disadvantage: it does not support PCIe 5.0 specs. The new holder released in China does support this standard.
The kit is designed for vertical GPU mounting in standard cases. Cooler Master says it supports ATX and mATX builds, and the spec sheet also lists E-ATX support. The riser cable included in the box is a PCIe 5.
DLSS Swapper has been updated to v1.2.2.0. The release adds support for DLSS Ray Reconstruction presets and expands game launching beyond Steam. Ray Reconstruction presets can now be set from inside the app. There is a known issue where presets can get reset by the NVIDIA app or by some games, and the maintainer says NVIDIA is aware of it.
The update also adds early support for EA App
We are less than two weeks away from the launch of the new Core Ultra 3 series from Intel, and Lenovo is clearly banking on the idea of adding this architecture into their laptops entirely. In fact, not one of the new ThinkPad systems is mentioned to be using AMD Ryzen CPU.
Lenovo is expected to announce the ThinkPad X9 15p Aura Edition at CES 2026, according to sources cited by WindowsLatest.
Windows Latest says it has source material for Lenovo’s CES 2026 lineup that goes beyond laptops, adding what looks like Lenovo’s first Panther Lake all-in-one systems and a small “Yoga Mini i” desktop. In my opinion, this is the most interesting product.
The media describes it as a cylindrical 600g PC with an aluminum casing , configured with up to Intel Core Ultra X7 3
The company says it is reacting to higher memory pricing, which it links to AI data center demand and tighter supply for consumer parts. In its announcement, MAINGEAR claims many DDR5 kits have jumped by 100% to 400% or more.
To ensure we can continue delivering the high quality MAINGEAR systems you expect, and to offer our customers a fair shake at a new build without the added costs, we’ve
Samsung has announced its 2026 Odyssey gaming monitor lineup. The company is adding five models across the Odyssey 3D, G6, and G8 families, with a focus on higher refresh rates, higher resolutions, and Dual Mode switching.
The headline product is the 32-inch Odyssey 3D (G
