Today, AMD officially released its new Radeon 25.12.1 graphics driver. This is a rather big update for Radeon graphics card users, as it is the first to implement support for the new FSR Redstone suite of features. 

Previously known as FSR 4, with this update, AMD is dropping ‘numbered' FSR releases from its portfolio. Moving forward, AMD will simply refer to FSR features by their proper names, so FSR Upscaling, FSR Frame Generation, FSR Ray Regeneration etc.

FSR Redstone is the first version of AMD's upscaling tech to make use of Machine Learning, bringing it closer to Nvidia's rival DLSS in how it functions. This should bring improvements to the visual presentation of upscaled FSR images and it should also bring a good boost to image quality for those using FSR Frame Generation.

On top of improved upscaling and frame generation, the new FSR feature suit also includes Ray Reconstruction to improve performance in supported ray-traced or path-traced games. In all, there will be around 200 titles supporting the latest FSR technologies, although you'll need at least an RX 9000 series graphics card to make full use of the new features.

Some of the confirmed supported titles include Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Cyberpunk 2077, Hell is Us, Mafia: The Old Country and even Grand Theft Auto V. In these games, RX 9070 XT users can expect an average performance boost of 3.5x when using FSR.

You can download the latest Radeon graphics drivers HERE.

KitGuru Says: Will you be testing out any FSR titles now that the Redstone driver is available?

Corsair has announced a new partnership with CD Projekt RED to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Cyberpunk 2077. The collaboration introduces the Corsair x Cyberpunk 2077: Arasaka Edition collection, a limited-edition series of peripherals inspired by the game's megacorporation, Arasaka.

The centrepiece of the lineup is a special-edition K65 Plus Wireless keyboard. This 75% mechanical board comes equipped with Corsair's pre-lubed MLX Red switches and features a custom aesthetic heavy on Arasaka branding. The chassis and keycaps are adorned with the corporation's logos and insignias, including detailing on the rotary dial. It is important to note that this specific model will be available exclusively in the NA layout.

Accompanying the keyboard is a themed version of the M75 Wireless lightweight gaming mouse, which sports the Arasaka three-limbed tree emblem on its shell. Completing the desktop setup is the MM300 2XL anti-fray cloth mouse pad. This extended surface features a technical schematic design of the game's iconic Mantis Blade cyberware, tying the collection together with lore references.

Pre-orders for the limited-edition gear are now open. The collection will be available globally through Corsair's official store and the CD Projekt RED Gear website while stock lasts. The keyboard costs £159.99/€169.99/$169.99, the mouse costs £89.99/€99.99/$99.99, and the mouse pad costs £39.99/€49.99/$49.99.

Noctua and Prusa Research have introduced two new Prusament PLA filaments in Noctua’s signature colours – Noctua Beige and Noctua Brown. Combining Prusa’s renowned in-house manufacturing quality with Noctua’s iconic palette, the filaments are ideal for PC builds, mods, and DIY projects that integrate Noctua fans.

Like other Prusament PLA products, the new filaments are manufactured in-house in Prague, ensuring flawless quality, tight tolerances (±0.02mm), and maximum colour accuracy. They offer convenient handling, low warpage, high hardness, and a smooth finish, making them suitable for both beginners and advanced users.

Carefully fine-tuned to match Noctua’s iconic colours, the new variants eliminate the guesswork of colour-matching 3D prints with Noctua fans. Whether printing official models from Printables.com, custom PC parts, or accessories, these filaments are the perfect choice for a visually consistent build with Noctua's signature fans.

“We’ve always admired how the maker community utilises our fans and creates parts that enable new applications,” said Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO. “Teaming up with Prusa Research to offer filaments in our signature colours feels like a great way of giving back to the community.”

Josef Prusa, Founder and CEO of Prusa Research, added: “Building PCs has always been common here in the Czech Republic, and I remember using Noctua fans in my own builds. I’ve seen so many projects trying to match Noctua’s colour scheme without success. I’m really happy we got to team up with Noctua to bring these colour-matched filaments to the market.”

The Prusament PLA Noctua Beige and Brown filaments are available now via Prusa’s online store for EUR 32.99 / USD 32.99.

KitGuru Says: This is great news for the 3D printing enthusiasts out there, as you'll now be able to mod away without messing with the visual theme of your Noctua-cooled PC.

Sharkoon has expanded its mechanical keyboard portfolio with the release of the Skiller SGK50 S3 Ultimate Rev2, a new compact board that embraces a nautical aesthetic. Moving away from standard chassis designs, this latest iteration features an ocean-themed design that extends across its abrasion-resistant, dye-sub PBT keycaps (OEM profile).

The keyboard uses a 75% layout, a form factor that continues to gain popularity for its ability to save desk space while retaining essential function keys. Under the keycaps, users will find pre-installed Sharkoon linear switches for responsive actuation. However, enthusiasts looking for a specific feel are not locked into the stock configuration, as the board features a hot-swappable PCB that allows easy switch replacement without soldering. Moreover, it features VIA support and RGB backlighting, giving users functional and aesthetic layers of customisation to play with.

After gathering user feedback, Sharkoon has implemented features to improve acoustic performance. The build features a polycarbonate positioning plate rather than a traditional metal one, paired with double-layer silicone dampening and pre-lubed stabilisers. These design choices are intended to reduce unwanted resonance and provide a softer and more refined typing sound. Another nice touch is the two-stage feet.

To complete the desktop aesthetic, Sharkoon has bundled a matching Skiller SGP30 D4 XXL mouse mat with the keyboard, ensuring a cohesive visual theme right out of the box. Additionally, it also includes a switch and a keycap puller. The Sharkoon Skiller SGK50 S3 Ultimate Rev2 is currently available for €99.90.

KitGuru says: Although a bit pricey for a wired keyboard, the inclusion of an XXL mouse pad adds some value to the package.

Back in early 2024, a rumour first popped up claiming that Ubisoft had greenlit the development of an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake. Since then, we’ve heard various bits and bobs surrounding the project – including the extent to which they plan to alter the game’s overall formula alongside its expected release date. While Ubisoft themselves have yet to make any official announcements, a listing for ‘Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced’ has popped up on game rating boards.

As discovered by ResetEra user ‘–R’ the Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) ratings board has published a listing to their site for a game titled ‘Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced’.

Though the page is no longer accessible, its listing seems to suggest that an official announcement from Ubisoft is imminent.

As mentioned, talk surrounding a Black Flag remake has persisted for a couple years now, with recent claims suggesting that the project could arrive as soon as March of 2026.

Given the fact that this supposed remake has now been publicly listed, it seems only a matter of time before the title is officially announced – perhaps during the 2025 Game Awards? We will have to wait and see.

KitGuru says: Do you have high hopes for the Black Flag remake? What do you think of the name? What other AC titles would you want to see get the full remake treatment? Let us know down below.

As we near the end of the year, many different media services have started to release their annual wrap-up lists, letting you get a peek at your past 12 months of activities. As they have done for many years now, PlayStation’s annual Wrap-Up has now gone live, giving you a full recap of your 2025 in gaming.

Making the announcement via the PlayStation Blog, Sony officially confirmed that 2025’s PlayStation Wrap-up is now live, writing:

“From today through January 8, 2026, PS5 and PS4 players can access their PlayStation 2025 Wrap-Up experience to view their gaming achievements for the year, including most played games and genres, total hours played across single-player and multiplayer titles, a personalized PlayStation Plus playlist, and trophy milestones.”

As of writing, the site is giving an internal server error due to the sudden increase in user traffic. That said, alongside the above, PlayStation’s Wrap-up for 2025 also details some more niche stats including “insights around gameplay with accessories like PlayStation VR2, PlayStation Portal remote player, as well as your most used DualSense wireless controller design.”

Like with previous iterations, those who take part in this year's wrap-up will receive a couple bonus digital items, namely “a unique glass-themed avatar as well as access their summary card.”

End-of-year summaries are always fun to take a look at. Whether it be for music, shows, or in this case games, being able to reflect on your past 12 months of media consumption is interesting; for the sake of curiosity if nothing else.

KitGuru says: Do you enjoy annual wrap-ups? What does your 2025 summary look like? Which game did you play the most throughout the year? Let us know down below.

Housemarque’s Returnal is still one of the PlayStation 5’s best first-party exclusives, with the 2021 title offering a compelling mix of 3rd-person shooting, arcadey movement and combat wrapped up in a rogue-like bow. Since its release, the game has garnered a ton of praise with Sony even going on to acquire Housemarque. Now officially under the PlayStation banner, Housemarque’s latest project – Saros – has been confirmed to be shown off at the 2025 Game Awards.

Making the announcement via Twitter, the official PlayStation page confirmed that Saros will be shown off at the upcoming Game Awards, writing: “Come back stronger. Get a new look at Saros @thegameawards this Thursday, Dec 11.”

For the uninitiated, Saros was first unveiled earlier this year during February’s State of Play alongside a 2026 release year. Though a new IP, the follow-up to Returnal has clearly been influenced by it, with what little was shown off so far indicating that it will build on Returnal’s mechanics while offering a greater amount of meta-progression.

All that said, we have yet to see much from the game, with the initial announcement trailer primarily being vibes-focused. As such, it will be highly exciting to get a proper taste of exactly how Saros looks and plays in just a few days' time.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for Saros? What did you think of Returnal? Do you prefer Rogue-likes/lites with more or less meta-progression? Let us know your thoughts down below.

For the past generation or so, Capcom has been in the upper echelon of video game developers / publishers, with many of their titles not only being critical hits, but commercial ones too. While Capcom has primarily focused on its major IPs in recent years, the publisher has expressed interest in bringing the likes of Mega Man and Devil May Cry back into the limelight.

As part of the company’s latest Integrated Report, Capcom COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto revealed that the publisher has plans to revitalise many of its more ‘niche’ franchises, stating:

“We consistently release two to three major new titles each year, but recognize the need to grow our pipeline going forward. Capcom owns a wealth of globally popular brands, such as Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney. We aim to expand our user base and improve our performance through new releases, remakes, and ports of titles in these series to new hardware. By enhancing brand power and cultivating loyal fan bases, we will grow these into core IPs.”

While Capcom is of course home to many different popular IPs, there are a few which stand above the rest, with the likes of Resident Evil and Monster Hunter dwarfing all other franchises sales-wise.

Given the lineage of Capcom however and the potential within many of their lesser-supported franchises, it is encouraging to see them willing to give some of their more medium-tier IPs a chance to become something greater.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Capcom in 2025? Have they been focusing too much on Resident Evil and Monster Hunter? Which of the three franchises listed above would you want to see become a core IP the most? Let us know down below.

Intel has quietly dropped the most concrete evidence yet that its high-end “Battlemage” discrete graphics card is nearing a formal reveal. In a recent update to its VTune Profiler software, the company discreetly added support for the “BMG-G31” SKU, a designation long associated with the upcoming flagship Battlemage GPU. 

Wccftech shared the updated notes that also mention the upcoming Panther Lake processors. This inclusion suggests that the hardware is finalised (or close to) and is likely undergoing validation. The BMG-G31 silicon is widely expected to power the Arc Battlemage B770, a successor to the current Arc A770. According to the most recent reports, this new flagship will feature approximately 32 Xe2 cores paired with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit interface. The architecture is also set to support a full PCIe 5.0 x16 connection.

Moreover, new shipping manifests shared by @x86deadandback (via VideoCardz) also corroborate the hardware's existence and provide details on its power requirements. These records indicate a thermal design power of 300 W for this GPU, a considerable increase over the 225 W range seen on the previous Alchemist generation. The increased power suggests Intel is pushing the silicon much harder to extract performance.

With the VTune entry co-listing the GPU alongside next-generation Panther Lake CPUs (powered by Xe3), Intel risks launching its Xe2 discrete cards just as its own mobile silicon moves to a newer architecture. However, with the company recently cracking the 1% discrete GPU market share barrier for the first time since Alchemist's debut, maintaining the momentum could be the key to expanding its share. Given the timing, a reveal at CES 2026 seems plausible.

KitGuru says: What kind of performance do you expect from a GPU with the reported specs of the “BMG-G31”?

Fresh leaks surfacing ahead of CES 2026 suggest that Lenovo is preparing to shake up the form factor of high-end gaming laptops once again. According to a recent report, the company is actively developing the Legion Pro Rollable, a machine that ditches the traditional fixed chassis in favour of a motorised, expanding OLED screen.

The promotional materials shared by Windows Latest show that the device functions as a standard 16:9 clamshell laptop in its default state. However, it can mechanically extend outward to a 21:9 ratio. Unlike the vertically expanding ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable that Lenovo shipped previously, this new gaming-focused laptop rolls out horizontally. Small motors drive rails that push the screen outwards to the left and right, transforming the panel, offering the field of view of an ultrawide monitor.

While full technical specifications remain under wraps, the leak points to the inclusion of Intel Core Ultra silicon, probably the upcoming Panther Lake architecture, given the early 2026 timeline. On the graphics side, the Legion branding all but guarantees a discrete Nvidia RTX GPU, almost certainly from the RTX 50-series. The display itself is tipped to be an OLED panel capable of at least 120Hz.

The existence of such a device is less far-fetched than it might appear. Lenovo has already proven it can mass-produce this technology with the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, which successfully transitioned from a trade show concept to a retail product. Expanding that know-how to a horizontal, gaming-centric layout seems quite feasible for the brand.

KitGuru says: We expect the Legion Pro Rollable to command a significant price premium over other laptops. How much more would you be willing to spend for a rollable display?

Intel's mid-cycle refresh for its desktop Arrow Lake lineup seems to be right around the corner, with the first concrete performance numbers for the unannounced Core Ultra 7 270K Plus appearing on the Geekbench database. This new SKU seems to be a direct replacement for the existing Core Ultra 7 265K, bringing a notable bump in core count and frequency adjustments that aim to refine the platform ahead of the next major architectural shift.

The most significant change revealed by the leaked entry (via Benchleaks) is the processor's core configuration. While the current 265K uses a 20-core layout, the incoming 270K Plus has been upgraded to a 24-core design, comprised of 8 P-cores and 16 E-cores. Adding four extra E-cores aligns the chip more closely with the top-tier Core Ultra 9 in terms of thread count. Beyond the silicon changes, Intel seems to be improving some specifications, with reports suggesting an increase in official memory support from DDR5-6400 to DDR5-7200, alongside a 100 MHz bump to E-core base and turbo frequencies.

The entry shows the chip running on a Gigabyte Z890 Eagle WiFi7 motherboard, with the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus achieving a single-core score of 3,235 and a multi-core score of 21,368. Despite being handicapped by relatively slow DDR5-4800 memory during the test, these numbers represent an uplift of roughly 5.6% in single-threaded tasks and 4.2% in multi-threaded workloads compared to the average scores of the Core Ultra 7 265K. According to the benchmark run, the CPU reached a clock speed of 5.5 GHz.

This refreshed lineup is expected to launch next year on the existing LGA 1851 socket, serving as a drop-in upgrade for current users. By sticking with the “Core Ultra 200” series branding, Intel is signalling that this is an iterative update rather than a new generation.

KitGuru says: Do you think the new Core Ultra 200 Plus series will help Intel regain some of the market share it has been losing in the desktop consumer segment?

Crystal Dynamics has been working on the next Tomb Raider game for a few years already. As it turns out, the game is now far enough along for us to get the first official reveal. 

Geoff Keighley has confirmed that one of the surprises planned for The Game Awards this year is a first look at “the future of” Tomb Raider, which he describes as one of gaming's “most iconic franchises”.

While we don't know much about the next Tomb Raider game yet, we do know that it will take more inspiration from the classic games in the series.

The timing of this is all a bit strange, as Crystal Dynamics recently underwent multiple rounds of layoffs. Amazon also massively downsized its gaming division, and Amazon Games is still currently signed on as the publisher for this new Tomb Raider game.

KitGuru Says: What are you hoping to see from the next Tomb Raider game? My guess would be that it will tell a new standalone story, disconnected from the previous reboot trilogy.

Recently, Bethesda announced plans to bring Fallout 4 to the Nintendo Switch 2 for the first time. It appears that Switch 2 owners will have another Bethesda game to play before then, as Skyrim is now being updated to support the new hardware. 

Skyrim Anniversary Edition for the Switch 2 has officially launched. The new version of the game includes the base game, all three DLCs, and a curated selection of premium mods bundled together as part of the Anniversary update.

If you already own the Anniversary Edition on the Switch, then you can download the Switch 2 edition for free. Unfortunately, if you owned the original Skyrim Special Edition release, you will have to buy the Anniversary Edition to get the Switch 2 upgrade.

The Switch 2 version of Skyrim will include enhanced resolution, faster load times and potentially an increased frame rate. On current-gen Xbox and PlayStation consoles, Skyrim already runs at 60FPS, so it would be nice to see a similar performance mode for the Switch 2.

KitGuru Says: With The Elder Scrolls 6 still so far away from release, there is plenty of time for another Skyrim playthrough.

Back when Aspyr announced Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic for the Nintendo Switch, it also promised to incorporate the cut content mod in an official version of the game for the first time. Unfortunately, this DLC was eventually cancelled and it appears it was Disney that ultimately pulled the plug. 

When Aspyr eventually cancelled the mod's official release, someone filed a lawsuit against them alleging false advertising. Game File has gone through the most recent filings in that case, which included some email chains between Aspyr, Disney and a few creators behind the Restored Content mod. The filings show that while Apsyr was comfortable working with and crediting modders to get this DLC made, it was Disney that got cold feet.

Shortly after the base version of KOTOR 2 released on Switch, Disney's legal representatives told Aspyr that they had to credit real names for the Restored Content mod and could not use aliases. They had also taken issue with the use of non-union voice actors in the restored content mod.

Aspyr had attempted to contact all 22 people involved with the Restored Content mod at various stages since 2004 but was unable to reach everyone. As they couldn't get those creators to sign off, Disney's legal team said that they could not release the DLC as initially planned.

The lawsuit between the fan and Aspyr was also apparently settled out of court, so it will no longer go to trial.

KitGuru Says: The cancellation of the Restored Content mod was a major blow. It would have marked the very first time that this content was playable on a console. Fortunately, you don't necessarily need a good gaming PC to run the PC version of this game, mods included.

For 30 years now, Katsuhiro Harada has helped shape Bandai Namco’s iconic Tekken franchise into what it is today. Known for his personality and dedication to fans, Harada has easily become the face of the Tekken franchise. After 3 decades working on the series however, Harada has officially announced that he is leaving Bandai Namco and Tekken.

Making the surprise announcement on Twitter, Katsuhiro Harada revealed that he will soon be departing from Bandai Namco, writing:

“I'd like to share that I'll be leaving Bandai Namco at the end of 2025. With the TEKKEN series reaching its 30th anniversary—an important milestone for a project I've devoted much of my life to—I felt this was the most fitting moment to bring one chapter to a close.”

The full post is rather lengthy and goes into greater depth regarding this decision, including having “experienced the loss of several close friends in my personal life, and in my professional life I witnessed the retirement or passing of many senior colleagues whom I deeply respect.”

Harada has not yet shared his plans for the future, stating that he will “share more about my next steps at a later date.”

The official Tekken page also shared the news, releasing a message thanking Harada for his decades of work while assuring fans that “we are fully committed to future development and content plans for Tekken 8”. The full statement can be found HERE.

A few months ago, Microsoft officially cancelled its Perfect Dark reboot and closed down the studio behind it, The Initiative. Now, Take Two has hired key former staff members of The Initiative to start a new studio under 2K Games. 

Bloomberg's Jason Schreier broke the news last night, claiming that Take Two had been recruiting former Initiative head, Darrel Gallagher, and Director Brian Horton since Microsoft closed their former studio. Now, the pair will form a new studio within the 2K Games umbrella. Unfortunately, there are no further details yet, so we don't know what the studio will be called, or what kind of games they'll make.

The news follows an earlier report that Take Two had actually been in discussions to take over publishing duties for Perfect Dark, but Microsoft would not agree to sell the IP. As a result, no deal come to be and the project was cancelled for good.

It is unclear if Microsoft will have any desire to return to the Perfect Dark IP in the mid to near future. Considering the amount of money wasted on the most recent revival attempt, I'd guess we won't be seeing Perfect Dark again for a very long time.

KitGuru Says: It will be interesting to see what this new studio does, but we're a long way off from seeing any game announcement.

Among the many different Xbox console exclusives which have found their way onto Sony’s PlayStation platform, Microsoft Flight Simulator is perhaps the most ironic owing to its namesake. That said, following its announcement back in September, MSFS 2024 has now officially landed on the PS5. Interestingly, according to the game’s director Microsoft initially rejected the proposal – until Sony got involved.

In an interview conducted by the publication XDA-Developers, Asobo Studio head Jorg Neumann revealed that he was the one to first suggest the idea of bringing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to PS5, claiming:

“It was my idea, actually…so I proposed, probably two and a half years ago, to go to PlayStation. It was probably a little bit before its time because I was told no.”

In an interesting twist of fate, Neumann revealed that “somebody from Sony who grew up with flight simulation thought it would be a great addition to the Sony portfolio. They reached out proactively to our President, who then came back to me and said, ‘Hey, remember when we talked about the PlayStation thing a year ago? Sony is also interested.’”

Beyond this, Neumann spoke on the promised PSVR2 support which is slated for some time next year, claiming that “It was there from the beginning. Sony was super clear: they have a very dedicated VR audience that is excited about new VR games, and they were very clear that we would have a lot of support from that audience.”

Given the fact that Sony themselves have seemingly shied away from PSVR2 since its launch, it is somewhat encouraging to see that the console maker is still trying to push the technology in some ways.

The full interview, including discussions on PS5 Pro support, the increased use of controllers and more can be found HERE.

The use of generative AI in video game development has quickly unravelled, with some companies proudly defending the practice, others trying to hide their adoption, and a 3rd group who have rallied against its use in video game development. One dev squarely in the latter category is Suda51, who has confirmed that the upcoming Romeo is a Dead Man “contains no AI-generated stuff whatsoever.”

Romeo is a Dead Man is the latest game from Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture of No More Heroes fame.

Set to release on the 11th of February 2026, the wacky and unique action title is officially coming to PlayStation 5 and Steam – with an Xbox release said to be “coming soon”.

Those on Nintendo’s side of the pond may also get the opportunity to play Romeo is a Dead Man eventually, with Suda51 taking to Twitter to say: “We're looking into what we can do to make a Switch 2 version happen.”

In an interesting addition to the statement, the game creator took time to make note that “this game contains no AI-generated stuff whatsoever, so please rest easy on that front and go ahead and wishlist it!”

As mentioned, the use of AI in video game development has seen a sharp increase, with all sorts from AI art, to AI voices and more seeping into many different aspects of new releases.

As such, it is encouraging to see not only that some devs are shying away from the technology, but actively voicing their opinions on the matter.

Late last week it was officially announced that Netflix had entered into a deal with Warner Bros. Discovery to purchase their Streaming and Studios Group for a massive $82 Billion. It seems WB’s gaming division was a big aspect of what drew them to the company, as Netflix was reportedly previously interested in acquiring EA.

In a report by Bloomberg (paywalled), prior to their proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. “Netflix executives previously debated whether the streamer should place bids for EA, Fox, and Disney,” though they ultimately “couldn't agree on a deal and feared that its interest in those companies would hurt its standing with investors.”

While the notion of Netflix purchasing any of those companies comes with major implications, the purchase of EA in particular would have been the most curious.

For many years now Netflix has been trying to squeeze its way into the video games space. Starting with mobile ports of popular console games, the media giant has also taken a couple different stabs at more high-budget game development – none of which have come to fruition.

As such, purchasing WB makes a surprising amount of sense as not only will they gain access to WB’s endless list of film and TV IPs, but also their underappreciated gaming division. What this means for the future of WB Games, we will have to wait and see.

Discuss on our Facebook page HERE.

Today we take a look at a new budget power supply from Endorfy, the Vero L6 750W. Despite being a budget unit, priced at only 69.90 euros, it has received 80 Plus Bronze and Cybenetics Silver certifications. It also offers the latest PCIe 5.1 compatibility. Today we will take a look at this PSU and figure out if it is worth the money for a new low-cost system build.

This power supply is not modular and it only has a 5 year warranty as well, but at the price we wouldn't expect more anyway. Availability right now seems limited, but Endorfy are currently working on distribution in Europe – we will assume they may update their homepage over HERE when that happens.

Product Features:

• ATX 3.1 / PCIe 5.1 Ready.
• Cybenetics Silver Certified @ 230V.
• 80 Plus Bronze Certified.
• High Quality Capacitors.
• Stratus Fan.
• 5 Year Warranty.
• OVP, UVP, OPP, OCP, SIP, SCP and OTP protections.

TP Vision's two gaming sub-brands, AOC and Philips, have officially introduced the first monitors capable of reaching 1000Hz. Unveiled at an event in China, the AOC AGON Pro AGP277QK and the Philips Evnia 27M2N5500XD share the same underlying display panel technology to achieve this milestone.

According to DisplaySpecifications, the 27-inch panel in both units offers dual-mode functionality similar to what we have seen in recent LG and ASUS offerings, but with significantly higher frequencies. Natively, the screen operates at a QHD resolution with a 500Hz refresh rate. However, for users prioritising pure motion clarity over pixel count, the display can switch to a Full HD resolution to unlock the 1000Hz mode. The panel specifications include VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification and a static contrast ratio of 2000:1. The panel type wasn't specified, but given the specs, it should be an IPS panel.

Beyond raw speed, the Philips model integrates the brand's ComfortView 4.0 and AI-driven light-synchronisation technology. Both monitors are expected to feature fully ergonomic stands, with the Philips model utilising its Smart ErgoBase and the AOC variant likely sporting its signature 4-way adjustable design. Standard gaming features, such as 1ms GTG response times and low-input-lag modes, are available on both units.

While the monitors have made their formal debut in the Chinese market, TPVision has yet to confirm specific release dates or pricing for Western territories.

KitGuru says: There aren't that many PCs out there capable of taking advantage of these monitors. However, if you do have one of these, it seems you won't have to wait long to see what that experience looks like.

Nvidia has officially confirmed the schedule for its next major GPU Technology Conference, with GTC 2026 returning to San Jose on March 15th, 2026. The company has wasted little time in sharing the details on its official website, outlining a four-day event that will once again place its aggressive AI roadmap front and centre.

While the conference kicks off with workshops on the 15th, the headline event will undoubtedly be CEO Jensen Huang's keynote address on March 16th. Given the company's staggering $4.4 trillion market valuation, all eyes are on how the Green Team plans to maintain its momentum.

Unveiled at last year's event alongside Blackwell Ultra and DGX Spark, Vera Rubin is expected to be the primary talking point as Nvidia prepares to ramp up mass production of AI clusters based on the new architecture. Vera Rubin should deliver substantial improvements over Blackwell, featuring TSMC's 3nm process node, HBM4 memory integration, and significant upgrades to the networking stack. Moreover, Jensen Huang is also expected to provide an update on the next-generation Feynman GPU architecture.

Gamers expecting consumer-focused announcements should likely temper their expectations. GTC has increasingly solidified its reputation as an “all-AI” commercial showcase, with GeForce products typically reserved for venues like CES. Instead, attendees can expect a deep dive into the industrial metaverse, updates to the CUDA library, and the latest breakthroughs in robotics.

KitGuru says: What are your expectations for GTC 2026?
