You don't need to be a professional content creator or an expert in data analysis to know that when it comes to GPUs for these roles, one manufacturer dominates the market: Nvidia. That's almost entirely down to CUDA, a programming platform that's been around for years. AMD has its own system called ROCm but it's nowhere near as popular. Well, thanks to the tireless efforts and work of one person, you can now enjoy all the benefits of CUDA applications on a Radeon graphics card, without changing a single line of code.
ABS Eurus Ruby | Ryzen 7 7700X | RTX 4080 Super | 32GB DDR5-6000 | 1TB SSD | $2,399$2,099 at Newegg (save $300)Nvidia's new RTX 4080 Super might be a very small upgrade over the plain old 4080. But it's significantly cheaper and that's translating straight into this great desktop deal. For just over the $2K mark, you're getting that Super GPU, plus an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU and 32GB of RAM. Only the 1TB SSD slightly disappoints, but that's an easy fix.
During the Covid pandemic, sales of gaming PCs and associated peripherals went stratospheric, as millions of people worldwide not only had to work from home but also keep themselves entertained in the confines of their four walls. But since then, things haven't been so good and quite a few companies have felt the pinch in their finances.

For an RTX 4060 laptop it has to be under $1,000, and you also get a better than average screen, though I'm a little confused over Walmart's listing of it as 2160 x 1350 when Lenovo itself claims a 1440p panel. That 512GB SSD, however, is disappointing, even in a budget laptop, but is a cheap and easy issue to fix if it becomes annoying down the line.
When I interviewed Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden developer Don't Nod, they told me NVIDIA DLSS 3 support on PC was a possibility. I assumed they meant for a post-launch update, but as it turned out, NVIDIA's Frame Generation technique is already in the game at launch. Indeed, I played the game with DLAA used in combination with Frame Generation and enjoyed great performance throughout the whole playthrough, as noted in my review of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden:
Expanding its AI ecosystem, NVIDIA has introduced "Chat with RTX", a chatbot for Windows PCs that is powered by TensorRT-LLM & available for free on the latest RTX GPUs.
