Open world games offer the most holistic gaming experience provided the game has enough to offer within. Won’t go into that right now, but whenever you get a large enough open world to play in, there’s simply a lot more to do in it.

Modern games rely heavily on multiplayer and online gameplay, paving the way for developers to add on extended game bundles to make sure a gaming title continues generating revenue and clocking users well beyond its release…

First things first, games listed here are judged based on the game-time required to complete the main storyline and added side quests, not considering replays. Also, we’ve played through most of them (bar one) so you can take our word for it. A bit more before we go straight into the basics of it. This longest video games ever list will be updated over time and we will make sure to add any and every latest game that may just deserve to be on this list. And if you think some other games should make it to this list, feel…

Virtual reality is the latest in line with immersive entertainment that has completely engulfed multiple industries including gaming, videos, and movies.

One is the standalone VR headset, devices that relay the game or video data directly on the HUD. The other variant of VR headsets is cheaper and uses your smartphone as the HUD. These devices convert regular videos into virtual reality using a basic body to strap it around…

The perfect alternative to desktop-level performance on your laptop. Check out these external graphics cards tailor-made for eGPUs. The only alternative to enjoy the desktop-level performance while having a highly functional lightweight laptop is using an external GPU enclosure. eGPUs provide extra graphics processing power much like an external hard drive does for data storage. The eGPU doesn’t necessarily come with an installed GPU. Instead, these are just a case with the necessary interface to directly cycle the graphics card. Whether or not, an eGPU is suitable for your needs, depends only upon the intended purpose. eGPUs are a great…

Xbox was launched as an alternative to the increasing market presence of Sony’s PlayStation. Since their launch in November 2001, almost 19 years ago, Microsoft has come a long way in offering better connectivity and ease of using Xbox through Windows. Microsoft offered the Xbox Game Bar in the May 2019 update to increase the interconnectivity of its services even better. But this tool has become a nuisance for those either not having an Xbox or preferring other screen recording software that allows for a better resolution in capturing images and videos. Apart from that, Xbox services are always running…

Let’s get to the bottom of it right from the start. Console gaming chairs are not your regular gaming chairs. Console gaming does not involve a desk, generally.

In the past few decades, before the advancement of technology, if you wanted to have more video card power, you had to get a more powerful video card. Every time you want an upgrade, you have to upgrade your hardware. But by the passing time, this was no longer the case. Now you can duplicate the power of your video card without having to buy a new card. That was made possible by SLI. What Does SLI Mean? SLI or Scalable Link Interface is nothing but a proprietary parallel processing technology released by Nvidia. This technology allows multiple GPUs to…

Gaming or video editing is a highly graphics-intensive task that puts a heavy strain on your graphics system. Although having a graphics card is unnecessary for video editing, the higher number of processing units can process parallel computation. A GPU optimization tool is essential to process different tasks. Most graphics card manufacturers also offer an inbuilt application to optimize their GPU, and hence it has become a very significant component of any device with a GPU. Since these manufacturers specialize in hardware development, their software also comes with some flaws. Today we are focusing on the “missing NVIDIA Control Panel” issue…
