It's no secret that PC owners have been sticking with Windows 10 and one reason for this has been the TPM 2.0 requirement, preventing older PCs from being compliant. However, there have been several ways to circumnavigate this—but in a recent beta version of Windows, Microsoft has shut the door firmly on one of the more popular methods.
If you've been shopping around for your next gaming controller, chances are you might have come across the term «Hall effect» in reference to the sensors inside. Essentially, Hall effect sensors measure the strength of a magnetic field to detect movement, as opposed to regular input sensors that rely on physical contact. That means they don't wear out like traditional units, avoiding stick drift and a host of other problems. Trouble is, controllers using this sensor method often don't come cheap.
The British entrepreneur Mike Lynch is among six people missing after a superyacht sank off the coast of Sicily during a storm.

iBuyPower Scale | Ryzen 7 7700 | RTX 4060 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,179.99$979.99 at Best Buy (save $200)There is one disappointing aspect of this sub-$1,000 gaming PC, and that's the 600 W power supply isn't going to be sufficient if you want to drop the same amount again on a single GPU. That's it. Everything else about this machine sings to me. The eight-core, 16-thread Zen 4 AMD processor was one of the greats of the previous generation and the RTX 4060 Ti is finally appearing in PCs around the price it always should have been. Add to that a full 32 GB of DDR5 memory and an acceptable 1 TB SSD and we're golden. You even get a keyboard and mouse with it, so all you have to supply are a monitor and games.
I love my Steam Deck. Lying down on the sofa or sitting up in bed with the device might not be doing wonders for my partners' perception of me, but as portable PC gaming experiences go, it's pretty great. This bizarre-looking device for holding one aloft, however, initially caught my interest purely out of amusement—but the more I think about it, the more I reckon it's quite a good idea.
All of us in the PC Gamer Hardware tower-of-tech love a good handheld gaming PC. Whether it's the luscious screen and brilliant software ecosystem of the OLED Steam Deck or the raw power of the ROG Ally X, the market is awash with all kinds of devices. And now Zotac, purveyor of GeForce RTX graphics cards and mini PCs, is throwing its gauntlet into the ring with its Zone handheld, replete with a 7-inch AMOLED screen.
Sometimes a feature seems so obvious, but once it's been implemented you wonder why it wasn't always there in the first place. If you're the proud owner of a gaming laptop, rejoice, for the latest Windows 11 Insider Canary build finally lets you pick different power modes depending on whether you're plugged in, or running off the battery.
It's late August, and you know what that means: Time for an absurdly lavish videogame industry event. No, not the Geoff Keighley one. Not the other Geoff Keighley one either. This time it's Gamescom (which, thanks to Opening Night Live, kind of is another Keighley event). That's when all the world's games press, publishers and devs cram themselves into a Cologne convention centre and show off what they're working on.
