TechPowerUp: Spider-Man 2 Performance Benchmark Review - 35 GPUs Tested
Spider-Man 2 has arrived for the PC Platform. Sony's newest port offers fantastic super hero gameplay, but is plagued by instability issues and crashes. Once you get it to run stable, performance is pretty decent though, and all the major technologies are supported. 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.

KitGuru: Nvidia RTX 5080 Review: Efficiency Gains, Performance Letdown
Hot on the heels of the RTX 5090, today we can present our full review of Nvidia's RTX 5080. While still hugely expensive at £979/$999, this GPU is at least slightly more accessible than the RTX 50 series flagship given it comes in at roughly half the price. But does that mean the RTX 5080 is only half as fast? Today we assess raw performance, ray tracing, DLSS 4, power draw, efficiency and more in this in-depth analysis.

MadShrimps: AQIRYS M32 Wireless Gaming Mouse Review
After customizing a bit M32 settings via the supplied software, we tried it in Dead Island 2, Tom Clancys The Division 2, The First Descendant and Diablo 4. The mouse did track without any issues and we really enjoyed the low weight and the smooth surface of the chassis

KitGuru: ASRock Phantom Gaming PG-1000G (ATX v3.1) Review
Today I get my first ever look at an ASRock branded power supply branded as the ‘Phantom Gaming'. This power supply is fully modular, is 80 Plus Gold certified and ships with a comprehensive 10 year warranty. The ASRock OEM of choice for this unit is FSP, and we will take a closer look to see if the performance can match up to the high aspirations, later in the review.
KitGuru: Corsair RM850e ATX 3.1 (2025) PSU Review
Following on from our recent review of the Corsair RM1000e, today we take a look at the 850 watt version in the new range – the RM850e. This is another fully modular power supply with native 12v-2×6 connectors to power the latest graphics cards. These are not the Corsair flagship models so they come with a more limited 7 year warranty.
KitGuru: be quiet! Power Zone 2 1000W ATX 3.1 (2025) Review
It has been some time since we tested a be quiet! power supply, so today is quite exciting as we just received a sample of the new Power Zone 2 1000 watt unit. This power supply is a follow on from the original units which released back in 2013, which were incidentally the companies first single rail units. This new fully modular power supply has also adopted a semi passive cooling configuration. It also ships with a 10 year warranty. Time to dive in and see what else has changed.

KitGuru: OBSBOT Tiny SE Webcam Review
The Tiny SE webcam from OBSBOT brings clever tracking features, found on some of their much more expensive models, down to a more affordable price point. Offering 1080p video capture at up to 100fps, dual ISO and a stacked 1/2.8” sensor for £109 here in the UK, is this the camera to level up your content creation game?
