Anyone in the market for a higher end graphics card should talk a long, hard look at the Radeon RX 6950 XT. It released to retail just under a year ago at $1,099 after AMD briefly flirted with a $1,299 MSRP, and now 11 months later you can snag one for right around $599, which is the same price as NVIDIA's GeForce RTX...

An Alibaba trader in China is selling AMD Radeon RX 580 GPUs as key fobs with tech-appeal. This is a sad story in some ways, but as graphics cards like the RX 580 (particularly those packing 8GB) are still serviceable, we reckon these key fob GPUs are surely made from salvaged and faulty or completely broken graphics...

As much as we all lust over a top-tier graphics card like the GeForce RTX 4090 or Radeon RX 7900 XTX, the majority of gamers don't end up buying a flagship GPU. Pesky things like rent and food disrupt the allotted budget for toys and thrills. That's why the aging GeForce GTX 1650 was, for a time, the most popular GPU...

AMD hasn’t officially announced a Radeon RX 6300 desktop graphics card, but an example appears to have turned up on a Chinese second-user marketplace.

Intel's Arc GPUs launched in a bit of a rough state, and early reviews were critical of both the cards' inconsistent performance and relatively high power consumption.
