We test the overclocking potential of the classic Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 to see if pushing this aging CPU actually makes practical sense today.

Benchmarking the rare AMD Ryzen 5 3400GE to see how unlocking its TDP limit to 65W boosts performance in 720p gaming.

Can a 2-core, 4-thread Intel Core i3-3220 still handle modern tasks in 2020? We test its limits and see how much performance we can squeeze out by overclocking the CPU and RAM.

Wargaming is launching its annual Well-Deserved Reward event for World of Tanks veterans, with gifts scaling based on your account's age.

Testing the legendary AMD Radeon HD 7870 in 16 popular games from 2020 and comparing its performance to the GeForce GTX 670.

Can AMD's top 2009 graphics card, the Radeon HD 5870, still deliver playable performance in modern multiplayer games 11 years on?

Wargaming has released the WoT enCore RT tech demo with ray tracing. It runs on any DX11 graphics card thanks to Intel Embree and improves shadows.

World of Tanks is getting ray tracing (RT shadows) thanks to a collaboration between Wargaming and Intel. This technology will deliver more realistic shadows and enhance the overall gaming experience.
