iBuypower Intros Two New AMD-Powered Rigs

Custom PC builder iBuypower has worked over its Gamer line of rigs two offer two new options, both powered by AMD’s Dragon platform and priced under $1,500. The Gamer HAF 91B and Gamer Fire both leverage AMD Phenom II quad-core processors and ATI Radeon 4000 series GPUs, with a handful of premium hardware choices setting them apart.

The cheaper HAF 91B uses the same HAF case as the iBuypower’s other HAF line, and get loaded with Phenom II 920 processor, 4GB of DDR2-800 memory, and a Radeon HD 4850.

The Gamer Fire introduces the more angular NZXT Guardian 921 case, the faster 940 model processor, and the top-shelf Radeon HD 4870X2 video card, which offers 2GB of on-board RAM instead of 512MB. It also comes outfitted with a more capable 800W power supply, a Blu-ray drive, and liquid cooling for the CPU.

The company has priced the HAF 91B at $999, and the Gamer Fire at $1,439. Both are available immediately at iBuypower.

A new wave of powerful laptops rises to challenge the MacBook Pro

The MacBook Pro got really powerful in its most recent update. The 16-inch M3 Max configuration bumps the graphics performance significantly, making it unlike anything you can buy for professional content creators.

But Windows laptops are responding. There's a new wave of non-gaming laptops that are integrating GPUs up to an RTX 4070 and challenging the performance of the MacBook Pro -- often at a much lower price.

I tested Intel’s XeSS against AMD FSR — and the results speak for themselves

AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) and Intel's Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) are two of the most prominent upscaling options you'll find in PC games, and for one simple reason: They work with any of the best graphics cards. Choosing between them isn't simple, however. There are some big differences in image quality and performance, even with the same graphics card and the same game.

We've been testing AMD FSR and Intel XeSS for months across various games, but it's time to compare them point for point. If you're looking for a simple answer on which is best, you w0n't find it here. However, we'll still dig into the nuances between FSR and XeSS and what you need to know about the two upscaling features.

Nvidia and AMD make the best graphics cards you can buy, but choosing between them isn't easy. Unlike previous generations, AMD and Nvidia trade blows point-for-point in 2024, and picking a brand to go with isn't as easy as counting the dollars in your wallet.

I've reviewed every graphics card AMD and Nvidia have released this generation, comparing not only raw performance, but also features like DLSS and FSR, ray tracing performance, and how VRAM works in modern games. After dozens of graphics card reviews, here's how AMD and Nvidia stack up against each other in 2024.
