  1. PNY RTX 4080 XLR8 review: is this a worthwhile upgrade from RTX 3080?

    Digital Foundry | PNY RTX 4080 XLR8 review: is this a worthwhile upgrade from RTX 3080?

    We've already run the numbers, but what about everything else?

    The RTX 4080 is a weird graphics card. It's hugely powerful, outpacing the RTX 3090 Ti with a smaller price tag and better power consumption, yet the RTX 4090 is the better value card thanks to the big leap in performance it delivers. So is there really an argument to be made to upgrade from the RTX 3080 to 4080?

    Following on from our Ryzen 9 7900X and Ryzen 5 7600X review, it's finally time to look at the two remaining CPUs in AMD's Ryzen 7000 family: the $449/£439 Ryzen 7 7700X, a potential gaming value champ, and the $799/£769 Ryzen 9 7950X, a sixteen-core titan expected to outperform almost every consumer CPU in content creation workloads.

  16. Fire Emblem Engage's strong gameplay is backed by big tech improvements

    Digital Foundry | Fire Emblem Engage's strong gameplay is backed by big tech improvements

    Improved image quality, tighter performance and shorter loading time.

    Fire Emblem is one of Nintendo's longest running series, but one that only began appearing outside of Japan during the Game Boy Advance era. Since then, impressively, the series has managed to gain popularity around the world with the first mainline Switch entry, Three Houses, quickly becoming the best-selling game in the entire series. The latest series entry - Fire Emblem Engage - delivers promising first impressions, with a range of improvements over its predecessor.

  22. Fire Emblem Engage is a proud celebration of all that came before it

    Fire Emblem Engage feels like the tactical RPG game I've been waiting for, yet after a handful of hours in its presence I'm still unsure if I prefer it to Three Houses. It's a natural evolution for the series with a classic touch, building upon Fire Emblem's modern gameplay while taking cues from older entries. That might sound obvious when former protagonists like Marth are back, but this goes beyond the 12 familiar faces. Engage reminds me more of Fire Emblem Awakening, the 3DS entry that pushed the series’ popularity to new heights – and even if it might not yet trump Three Houses, after eight chapters I’m struggling to put it down.
