Digital Foundry | AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT review: faster, but not fast enough
Faster VRAM and extra power equals a modest mid-gen upgrade.
AMD's mid-gen Radeon 6000 refresh, announced today, comprises of three new graphics cards: the $399 RX 6650 XT, the $549 RX 6750 XT and the $1099 RX 6950 XT. Each offers small boosts to memory speeds (18GBps versus 16GBps for the 6750 XT against the OG 6700 XT) and slightly higher power draw (250W versus 230W). That should translate into modest frame-rate gains, but this is very much a card that slots in to replace the older RX 6700 XT rather than sitting in its own distinct power band - despite a rise in asking price. You can think of it like the Ryzen 3000 XT CPUs that debuted a few months before Ryzen 5000 - a last hurrah before the true next generation arrives.

Opinion | Microsoft's dodgy DRM comes into the limelight, and no-one's smiling
A weekend of outages suggest some old problems remain.
If it feels like a long time since the disastrous reveal of the Xbox One, it's because it really has been. Some nine years have passed since those tumultuous months leading up to the launch of Microsoft's troubled console, when the mantra of television, television, television was followed up by some half-hearted concessions to games, and the slow pull into focus of a then novel and unsavoury approach to game ownership that were met with an understandably fiery response.
