Introducing the Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW3225QF) and Alienware 27 360 Hz QD-OLED Gaming Monitor (AW2725DF) - two new, advanced gaming displays that expand our celebrated, award-winning QD-OLED family which first debuted at CES 2022.

These new models are the first of their kind. On the left, you're looking at the world's first 4K QD-OLED gaming monitor with Dolby Vision HDR designed for you to see every detail in astounding color and contrast.

CD Projekt Red released the final chunks of post-launch content for their blockbuster action role-player last autumn—Cyberpunk 2077 was handsomely padded-out with a significant Update 2.0 as well as the well received [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] expansion. Company leadership confirmed in October that CDPR development departments would be focusing on a full-blown sequel, rather than produce further DLC add-ons for the first entry in the series. Igor Sarzyńsk, the sequel's narrative director, announced earlier this week that he had arrived at CD Projekt Red's recently established office in Boston, Massachusetts. This new outfit appears to be separate from CD Projekt's other East Coast studio: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...].

Sarzyńsk's tweet establishes that CDPR's new-ish North American team is working on Cyberpunk 2077 Part Deux: "First day in the Boston office! So good to meet old friends and officially kickstart our Orion journey. I couldn't be more excited for this project and I'm sure we can make it something special. 2077 was just a warm-up ????." Gaming news outlets have focused a lot of attention on Sarzyńsk's (slightly premature) implication that the CP2077 sequel is going to be greater in scope. The original game had a troubled development cycle, so it will be interesting to see how a combination of studio veterans and new staff get a handle on the successor—especially with a switch over to Epic's Unreal Engine 5. Cyberpunk 2077 was the final game to utilize the company's proprietary REDengine.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

PC World's Adam Patrick Murray and Brad Chacos sat down with a key figure representing Intel's Arc engineering team at CES 2024—Tom "TAP" Petersen was happy to answer queries regarding Team Blue's next-gen GPU offerings. The former long-tenured NVIDIA marketer + engineer confirmed in a video interview (see below) that Intel's Arc hardware department has already moved onto developing the Celestial Xe3 GPU family, while a significant chunk of staff are dedicated to getting software ready for a 2024 [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] series launch. The latter info tracks with [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] from late last year. The rumor mill has discrete Battlemage GPUs linked to a 4 nm-class TSMC foundry node.

Tom Petersen stated: "It's coming, I am excited about it, and all our engineers you know how they are constantly doing their engineering things. I'd say about 30% of our engineers are working on Battlemage, mostly on the software side because our hardware team is on the next thing (Celestial), so think about it as the Battlemage has already has its first silicon in the labs which is very exciting and there's more good news coming which I can't talk about right now...We hope we are going see it before the next CES in 2025." [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] that Battlemage could reach retail shelves alongside Team Blue's Lunar Lake CPU generation later this year, while Celestial has possible ties to a Panther Lake CPU release in 2025.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

EPOMAKER at the 2024 International CES showed off its recent gaming peripherals. The company specializes in retro-futuristic looking keyboards that look like they're from the 1980s, but are backed by modern tech. Our tour begins with the CIDOO V87, a TKL wireless keyboard with matte linear key switches, an aluminium unibody chassis, a programmable metal rotary knob, and dye-sublimation PBT keycaps. It supports RF + Bluetooth + USB-C connectivity, and a 3,000 mAh battery with fast charging can run the keyboard for days with its lighting.

Next up, is the RT100, a 95% (97-key) format mechanical keyboard, featuring a gasket-mounting ergonomic design, flexible choices of key switches between Gateron and EPOMAKER (in-house); and 3 connectivity options. Pay attention to the stub near the Esc key—it has a little multi-color LED display that can be used to put out real-time monitoring stats. The EPOMAKER Feker Alice 98 is modeled after the early-1990s Microsoft Ergonomic keyboard that sees the main key cluster split and angled into two; except with all the "modern amenities," such as pre-lubed mechanical key switches, RF + Bluetooth + USB-C interfaces, and more. There is a variant with an off-white CNC aluminium top-plate, and another with a small programmable screen. Lastly, EPOMAKER displayed its MIX Pro retro-futuristic USB-C cable meant to mimic the coiled cord look of keyboards from the 1980s.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

NVIDIA revealed basic price guides for GeForce RTX-40 SUPER graphics cards at the recently concluded CES 2024 trade show, but their board partners largely stayed coy about figures for [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] (review embargoes will be lifted soon). ZOTAC broke the mold later on in the week, with press material updated to reflect that [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. However, premium charges for overclocked SUPER Twin Edge OC, AMP HOLO, Trinity OC and AMP Extreme AIRO cards remain a mystery. VideoCardz decided to conduct some [Only registered and activated users can see links.

Workaround methods were implemented in order to prematurely extract card prices, before NVIDIA's staggered schedule of reveals for customized versions of the GeForce RTX [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], RTX [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] and RTX [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] GPUs (throughout January). The leaked results show that GIGABYTE and PNY have custom overclocked GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER models targeting base MSRP at $599, while MSI has several options exceeding that base level—ranging from $10 to $50 premiums. GIGABYTE's GAMING OC card also tops the table at $649. Jumping up to the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER tier, we see a GIGABYTE Gaming OC model sitting at $849.99 and an MSI VENTUS 3X OC going for $899.99. The sole custom GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER within the VideoCardz article appears to be an MSI VENTUS 3X OC; we are witnessing a $100 extra tacked on for this design.[Only registered and activated users can see links.
