Furmark 2.10 released

Hairy Donut gets improved support for Raspberry Pi.

Geeks3D has released FurMark 2.10.0.0, introducing a new 3440×1440 benchmark preset aimed at ultra-wide display testing. The preset apears as a button in the GUI and there’s a command line option too. The software already had 1080, 1440p and 2160p options.

The update also adds support for AMD


Dell Pro Max 16 Plus with RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPU tested, features 128GB CAMM2 memory

Dell Pro Max 16 Plus tested, featuring RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell GPU with specs similar to RTX 5090

Recently I checked the RTX PRO Blackwell laptop situation and realized there are barely any reviews, let alone laptops available for sale. Some models are listed as available, but there doesn’t seem to have been an official review embargo, as far as I’m aware.

Retirement Denied: GTX 1650 Super and RX 570 still handle Battlefield 6 (barely)

Battlefield 6 runs on 9 year old GPU worth less than game: Radeon RX 570 with 4GB

I think we’ve all grown tired of watching tech influencers unbox extremely expensive graphics cards that most of us will never be able to afford. Prices for the last three generations of GPUs have reached absurd levels, pushing the mid-range segment into much higher pricing tiers than before. But does that mean users who can’t afford a new card have no choice but to save up and upgrade? Not
