How much VRAM should you look for in a graphics card? - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s probably worth buying a more expensive card now, rather than waiting. Surging AI infrastructure demand has spent the year draining the world's memory supply, leaving gamers behind and sticking those who want to upgrade their hardware with massive bills. Graphics cards are caught up in the same memory shortage that has pushed RAM and SSD prices through the roof, with AI data centers swallowing up capacity that would otherwise become GDDR. Higher-capacity cards are taking the biggest hits, wi
How to stop AI companies from training on your data - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every major model uses your conversations as training material by default. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Grok all have one thing in common: Not how deep they bury their subscription cancellation options into the settings menu, but how they all use consumer conversations to train their models. Unless you opt out, that is. Doing so takes about a minute per service and, because personalization and memory are managed by separate settings, it shouldn't have any impact on your day-to-day use. T
eGPUs do work, but they come with some notable limitations - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you've been looking to get more gaming power out of your laptop but don't want to pay for a replacement amid RAMpocalypse pricing, an eGPU could be your best bet. An eGPU is an external graphics processor, usually a desktop graphics card in an enclosure connected to a compatible laptop or gaming handheld through Thunderbolt or USB4. They can be pretty good at taking over rendering, meaning even thinner and weaker machines can run more demanding games with one plugged in, but there are many ca
Will GTA 6's Ultimate Edition be worth the extra cost? Here's what it'll come with - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many have paid the extra $20, but there's no rush to join them. We don't need to tell you that Grand Theft Auto VI is set to be the biggest game launch of all time at this point. The product of more than a decade of development, almost 5 million people had pre-ordered the digital download within days of the Netflix Extended Look (which itself pulled in 31.1 million Netflix views) according to Sensor Tower data. With figures like that, the question for most isn't whether to buy it, but which vers
What is MSI mode on Windows PCs and does it speed up your GPU? - Engadget (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's a setting you probably won't want to mess around with. MSI (Message Signaled Interrupts) mode is a Windows feature designed as a way for hardware devices like your graphics card (or GPU, if you're a purist) to grab the attention of and communicate with your CPU. Introduced in the PCIe 2.2 specification and then baked into Windows Vista, it's a specialized setting that modders and tweakers all too often talk (recklessly) about as if it's some hidden performance unlock. While, yes, it's true
