MSI DRACO GEFORCE RTX 5080 SUPRIM | DRESSES FOR THE 40TH

MSI is using its 40th anniversary to do something more interesting than simply print a new badge on familiar hardware. The company’s Draco Epic theme, inspired by the Draco constellation and MSI’s long-running dragon identity, has spread across several enthusiast products shown around Computex 2026, and one of the most striking additions is the GeForce RTX 5080 SUPRIM SOC 16G DRACO EPIC. The card takes MSI’s already premium SUPRIM design and gives it an anniv...

PCD TOP 5 | GAME EDITION HARDWARE | BUILT FOR FANS

A good game edition should feel like more than ordinary hardware sent through a themed paint shop. It should take something recognizable from a virtual world and give it a permanent physical form: a color combination, emblem, material or small design detail that immediately means something to the person looking at it. The best examples can become the visual center of an entire PC setup, while the rarest eventually cross the line between usable...

CONTROL RESONANT RTX 5080 REVEALED | COLLECTOR’S RTX 5080

Silver metal disappears beneath fractured black surfaces, red accents and distorted geometric patterns that look as though the Oldest House itself has reached into NVIDIA’s hardware department. NVIDIA has revealed a custom-wrapped GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition inspired by CONTROL Resonant, turning the standard reference card into a rare promotional piece connected to Remedy Entertainment’s upcoming sequel. This is not a newly engineered...

The official specification lists 16 Compute Units, 1,024 Stream Processors, 16 ray accelerators and 32 AI accelerators, with a game clock...

SPECIAL | C64 HARDWARE IS BACK | MINI BOX & REAL MACHINE

Reduced to a small black box, connected through HDMI and supplied with a joystick, THEC64 Mini Black Edition can easily be mistaken for another retro console built to deliver a fixed collection of old games and little else. That interpretation stops making sense the moment the machine enters BASIC, accepts programs from a USB drive or connects to an external keyboard. Commodore 64 came from a different branch of gaming history: the home computer...
