You’ve worked hard to improve your K/D ratio and muscle memory, but now there’s a wall that can’t be knocked down without the best high-resolution gaming mice.

The mouse you picked up in the trash does not cut it. In fact, it’s holding you back.

Not all computer mice are the same. Some support different grips, such as the claw, fingertip and palm, while others have higher DPI or additional buttons. Many have all of the above.

One thing is clear: having a higher DPI gaming mouse can exponentially reduce the gap between your reaction time and the response time of a computer mouse. This is due to the higher DPI allowing for very fine motion registration.

Here are the best high-resolution gaming mouse available today.

1.  Best overall: Razer Mamba Hyperflux Wireless Gaming Mouse

In terms of both style and performance, the Mamba Hyperflux from Razer looks like it trumps many other options in this price range. This gaming mouse, which can be used in both wired and wireless modes, comes with a wireless charging pad which also doubles as a mouse pad. This means that the mouse is continuously being charged as you use it, so you never have to worry about the mouse running out of power in the middle of a game.

Moreover, the Mamba Hyperflux is one of the most sensitive gaming mice in the market. Its 16000 DPI optical sensor can detect even the smallest movements and does not suffer from sensor jumping issues typically encountered with laser sensors. You can lower the DPI settings to fine-tune the sensitivity of the mouse to the level that you’re comfortable with.

As with many gaming devices, Hyperflux mouse pad has a customizable RGB color profile with more than 16 million possible color combinations. The mouse itself has nine buttons which can all be remapped and reprogrammed. In terms of customization, the Mamba Hyperflux will not leave you disappointed.

The Hyperflux is a very light gaming mouse, but those looking for a little extra heft may be disappointed by the lack of any options to add weight.

2.  SteelSeries Rival 650 Quantum Wireless Gaming Mouse

The Rival 650 is the SteelSeries wireless alternative to their other wired gaming mice. While it offers no option to be used in wired mode, SteelSeries claims that its performance is similar to any SteelSeries wired gaming mouse without being tethered.

The Rival 650 is equipped with the proprietary TrueMove 3+ optical sensor which promises to deliver true one-is-to-one movement input. The sensitivity performance of the Rival 650 has been great, but a lot of credit has to go to its adjustable weight system. With eight removable weights, the Rival 650 offers 256 different weight combinations so that you can tweak the weight and center of gravity of the mouse to what you are most comfortable with. This unique combination of sensitivity and accuracy makes the Rival 650 one of the best gaming mice, performance-wise.

The only major gripe with the Rival 650 relates to its build quality. The sides of the mouse are lined with a rubber grip which tends to come loose after just a few months of use. This definitely has to do with the use of a low-quality adhesive, which is very disappointing for a gaming mouse that costs well over $100.

3.  ASUS ROG Gladius II Wireless Optical Ergonomic Gaming Mouse

Another entry from the ASUS ROG product line, the Gladius II is a wireless gaming mouse that can be used in both palm and claw grip styles. It does not offer a wired option, although there is a wired version of the Gladius II which is an entirely different product.

The 16000 DPI optical sensor of the Gladius II is one of the best in the market, instantly elevating the status of the Gladius II. The highly sensitive optical sensor of the Gladius II is perfectly complemented by the hefty weight of the mouse, enhancing the precision and accuracy of aiming in FPS games. The Gladius II does not have an adjustable weight which, when combined with its large footprint, may make it uncomfortable for gamers with small hands.

Aside from the array of programmable buttons, the Gladius II comes with the signature ASUS ROG swappable switches. If you want to replace broken switches or want to swap out your current switch to change its resistance, you can do so easily with the included screwdriver.

The stock switch is rated for 50 million clicks, so you shouldn’t need to get a replacement even after a year or two.

4.  Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse

Left-handed gamers have always faced the dilemma of having to look for a gaming mouse that is designed specifically for left-handed use. In most cases, left-handed and right-handed gaming mice are designed exclusively. The Logitech G903 bucks this trend by being a completely ambidextrous gaming mouse, which is one of its more unique characteristics.

The G903 boasts of a super-sensitive 16000 DPI optical sensor, precise metal spring buttons, and up to 11 programmable buttons. The sensitivity of the mouse can be adjusted from 100 to 16000 DPI, which should help in customizing the gaming mouse to exactly how you want it.

The use of a high-capacity LiPo battery gives the G903 a long battery without weighing it down. You can also get the POWERPLAY charging pad, which is sold separately, to charge the mouse wirelessly during use.

The downside of the G903 is that it somewhat had to sacrifice ergonomics to achieve its ergonomic design. Its grip doesn’t feel so comfortable as exclusively left-handed or right- handed mice, and the placement of the programmable switches also doesn’t seem intuitive.

5.  Razer Viper Ultimate Hyperspeed Gaming Mouse

The Hyperspeed gaming mouse from Razer was built with one major objective – speed. This 74-gram wireless mouse is the lightest entry in this list and has the most sensitive optical sensor with a 20,000-DPI rating. That’s not even where it ends because its buttons are light actuated to increase the response time based on your input.

If your gaming style relies on speed, then this is absolutely one of the best choices for you. It even has an ambidextrous design with eight programmable buttons on either side of the mouse. The eight-button selection is nothing impressive, and there are lots of alternatives that offer more customization options.

While this gaming mouse is great if you’re already used to using very light gaming mice, it can be tough to adjust if you like your mouse to have a bit more heft. Because of its ultra- sensitive sensor and lightweight build, it’s easy to have your aim go all over the place. If lightweight mouse gameplay isn’t your style, then this can be a tough sell.

Technical specs

Type: Wireless

Sensor: 20000 DPI optical sensor

Buttons: 8 programmable buttons

Weight: 74 grams

Durability: 70 million clicks

PROS

Light actuated buttons

High-sensitivity sensor

Very fast mouse

CONS

Ambidextrous design

Small selection of programmable buttons

May be too light for some

6.  ASUS ROG Spatha Wireless/Wired Laser Gaming Mouse

The Spatha gaming mouse from the ASUS ROG line is one of the best in terms of customizability. Not only can the mouse be used in either wired or wireless modes, but it also has an impressive array of 12 programmable buttons. The click resistance of the thumb buttons can also be adjusted to make them exactly as sensitive as you’d like them to be. The sockets of the ROG Spatha can even be uncovered to install easy upgrades.

The magnesium alloy body of the ROG Spatha gives it a nice heft which simply feels more premium. Combined with the ergonomic design and the adjustable click resistance, the ROG Spatha might be one of the most comfortable gaming mice. Just holding it in your hand already feels great.

Where the ROG Spatha falters is in the performance department, which is admittedly a pretty major failure. The 8200 DPI laser sensor just isn’t sensitive enough to translate your inputs into on-screen actions. If you’ve gotten spoiled with more sensitive gaming mice before, the lag caused by the low-sensitivity sensor will feel more palpable and will be hard to overcome.

7.  Swiftpoint Z Gaming Mouse

The Swiftpoint Z Gaming Mouse has been billed as three gaming devices in one: a gaming mouse, a handheld controller, and a joystick. The list of tech in this gaming mouse is quite impressive. It has a built-in accelerator and gyroscope that detects rotational motion so you can do pitch, tilt, and roll motions for flight sims. The buttons have force sensors and tactile feedback that work great for racing games. Naturally, the mouse comes with a high-sensitivity sensor for quick aiming in FPS games.

In terms of customization, there’s probably no other gaming mouse that has what the Swiftpoint Z offers. Because of the uniqueness of the buttons, remapping and reprogramming feel more intuitive and purposive. The three-axis control is a very unique addition and could open up your gaming avenues to new dimensions.

The complexity of the Swiftpoint Z may also be its downfall. With so many customization options and an unconventional button layout, the Swiftpoint Z may not appeal to gamers who traditionally use mice for FPS gaming. It requires quite a steep learning curve and a relearning of new gaming habits.

Final thoughts

For gamers who take their multiplayer rankings seriously, the importance of a good gaming mouse cannot be understated. It’s the weapon of choice for those quick headshots, even when you’ve been flanked by several enemies. With this in mind, it’s not surprising that many gamers are willing to splurge on a high-quality gaming mouse.

As with most other products, you get what you pay for when shopping for a gaming mouse. You can’t have it all, of course. Do you prefer something lightweight or something with a bit more heft? Is a high-sensitivity sensor your priority, or is customizable button mapping more important? In any case, a good gaming mouse is certainly worth the extra cash and time spent deliberating.

AMD vs Nvidia. If you’re building a gaming PC, you’ll inevitably be faced with choosing between the two GPU heavyweights. Both companies make GPUs that power the best graphics cards, fighting for supremacy in our GPU benchmarks hierarchy. AMD vs Nvidia isn’t the only decision you’ll need to make when building a PC, of course. You’ll also need to choose between AMD vs Intel CPUs. Our focus here will be on graphics, however, and we’ll be looking at performance, features, drivers and software, power and efficiency, pricing, and more.

The AMD vs Nvidia flame wars has been cooking since the late 90s, with Nvidia currently leading in the GPU arena by most metrics. Its graphics cards account for the majority of GPUs on the Steam Hardware Survey, for example, and in terms of pure finances, Nvidia is worth roughly three times as much as AMD (with a large chunk of AMD’s resources devoted to CPUs).

But we’re not interested in the distant past or finances. We want to find a winner in the current battle of AMD vs Nvidia GPUs. That primarily means looking at AMD Big Navi and Nvidia Ampere graphics cards, and perhaps adding Intel Xe-HPG to the mix whenever that arrives (probably this fall, based on the Xe-HPG Scavenger Hunt and other PR stunts).

It’s important to keep the big picture in view throughout this analysis. We’re not just focusing on the fastest GPU, the most power-efficient GPU, or the best bang-for-the-buck GPU. We’ll consider all of the factors in each category, from budget to mid-range to high-end and extreme GPUs, along with the tech behind the GPUs. We will declare a winner today, but of course, this isn’t the end of the war. It’s more like owning the heavyweight GPU title: A victory today doesn’t mean your opponent won’t come back leaner and meaner next year.

With that preamble out of the way, let’s pull out the boxing gloves and go the rounds with AMD vs Nvidia.

1. AMD vs Nvidia: Gaming Performance

For decades, faster GPUs have enabled game developers to create increasingly detailed and complex worlds. While you can find everything from budget GPUs to high-end offerings from both AMD and Nvidia, when it comes to outright performance, NVIDIA has a slight overall lead thanks to the chunky GeForce RTX 3090. Beyond the pole position, however, it’s a closer match. If you look at our GPU benchmarks hierarchy, you’ll see that the top five positions consist of two GPUs that use Nvidia’s GA102 architecture (the 3090 and 3080) and three GPUs using AMD’s Navi 21 architecture, with AMD bookending the Nvidia cards.

There’s a catch, of course: We’re only looking at games running APIs and settings that work on all GPUs, which means we haven’t included ray tracing or DLSS in the results. We also haven’t included any FidelityFX results, and CPU bottlenecks certainly play a role at lower resolutions. Here’s the full rundown of performance, using the nine games and six settings/resolutions combinations from our GPU Benchmarks.

Nvidia’s RTX 3090 isn’t remotely affordable, of course, and that’s before we take into account the current market conditions. We’ll discuss that more in a bit, but the GeForce RTX 3080 and Radeon RX 6800 XT represent a better view of performance. Those two trade blows in traditional rasterization games, with AMD vs Nvidia perhaps taking a slight lead, while Nvidia easily jumps ahead — often by a large margin — as soon as ray tracing and/or DLSS get turned on. We give Nvidia a slight lead at the top of the performance ladder, but that’s not the only category to consider.

Looking at the mainstream market ($400, give or take), things get a bit messy. AMD’s Radeon RX 6700 XT takes on the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, with slightly better performance — provided once again that we ignore RT and DLSS. In our review, we called it a net tie. However, AMD’s card (theoretically) costs 20% more than Nvidia’s offering, never mind the GeForce RTX 3060 12GB. We’re still waiting to see other Navi 22 models arrive, however, and an RX 6700 (non-XT) could make for a better option. Older model GPUs are mostly outclassed by the new arrivals, so Nvidia nominally wins the mainstream market as well, depending on the availability of cards. This is one of the advantages of AMD vs NVIDIA.

What about in the budget category? There haven’t been any new budget GPUs since last year. Looking at existing cards, the RX 5500 XT 8GB vs GTX 1660 goes to Nvidia again, and in general, we’d normally recommend avoiding the lower tier GTX 1650 or RX 5500 XT 4GB. But these are not normal times. Anyway, until RTX 3050 / 3050 Ti or RX 6500 XT cards arrive, Nvidia has a lead in the budget sector, even if many of the categories are close. The GTX 1660 is a touch faster and uses a bit less power, for roughly the same price. Well, not really the same price these days, but we’ll hit that below.

What about cards that cost even less? Right now, that means older GPUs that have 4GB of VRAM, because GPU and component shortages combined with cryptocurrency mining have inflated prices on everything. Some older generation cards like AMD’s Radeon RX 570 4GB or Nvidia’s GTX 1060 can be found for under $200, but supply is spotty at best.

Winner: Nvidia Across a large suite of games AMD vs Nvidia, Nvidia wins in most categories. AMD does okay at the top sector with the RX 6700 XT, RX 6800, RX 6800 XT, and RX 6900 XT, but a tie at the top and losses everywhere else give Nvidia the overall win for now.

2. AMD vs Nvidia: Power Consumption and Efficiency

Prior to AMD vs Nvidia Navi, GPU power efficiency was decidedly in favor of Nvidia. But Navi changed all that, and Big Navi has further improved AMD’s efficiency. Using chips built with TSMC’s 7nm FinFET process and new architecture that delivered 50% better performance per watt, Navi started to close the gap. Except, it was so far behind that even a 50% improvement didn’t fully address the efficiency deficiency.

But Nvidia’s Ampere architecture pushed higher clocks at the cost of efficiency, while AMD’s Big Navi gets a healthy boost in efficiency from the Infinity Cache. The net result is that Ampere and Big Navi are pretty close to tied.

Using Powenetics hardware to capture the real graphics card power use of GPUs, we’ve tested all of the current and recent graphics cards from both companies. We’ve also tested third-party cards from both sides, but we’ll confine the charts to the reference designs as much as possible.

While power use favored AMD vs Nvidia’s older GPUs, sometimes by a wide margin, the differences in the latest generation hardware go the other way. RTX 3090 uses the most power, followed by the RTX 3080 and then the three Navi 21 cards: RX 6900 XT, 6800 XT, and 6800. Previous generation cards like the Titan RTX, 2080 Ti, and 2080 Super fall in between the 6800 and 6800 XT, but we’re less interested in those.

Below that, differences are small enough that there’s no clear winner. AMD’s RX 6700 XT uses a bit more power than the RTX 3070 and a bit less than the RTX 3060 Ti, but they’re all in a 10W range. The 3060 12GB uses 35W less than the others, but it’s at a lower performance tier as well.

Among the previous gen budget GPUs, Nvidia’s GTX 16-series cards have a small lead, particularly in FurMark — which isn’t nearly as important as gaming power use. Still, Nvidia’s GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1660 Super use a bit less power but perform up to 20% faster than the RX 5500 XT 8GB. It’s not a major difference, but it’s still a win. Similarly, dropping down to Nvidia’s GTX 1650 line, the GTX 1650 Super edges out the RX 5500 XT 4GB by a hair in performance while using 25W less power, while the GTX 1650 GDDR6 shaves off another 20W but also drops 17% in performance. This is one of the interesting things about AMD vs Nvidia.

Winner: Tie Focusing just on the current generation AMD vs Nvidia, AMD Big Navi, and Nvidia Ampere GPUs, power and efficiency are relatively close, especially when looking at non-reference designs where power limits often end up around 350W. AMD takes a slight lead at the top, the middle’s a tie, and the previous-gen budget cards favor Nvidia. TSMC’s N7 process also factors in, helping out AMD vs Nvidia’s use of Samsung 8N likely reduces overall efficiency.

3. AMD vs Nvidia: Featured Technology

Most of the features supported by AMD vs Nvidia seem similar, though the implementations do vary. Both support ray tracing now, which allows for some nice effects, but it’s not required to get a good gaming experience. Nvidia’s DLSS is a bigger factor, as FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) isn’t ready yet. There are other aspects as well. G-Sync takes on FreeSync, Radeon Anti-Lag goes up against Nvidia’s ultra-low latency mode plus Reflex, and there are other areas where features effectively match up as well.

Supporting the same APIs and similar hardware features don’t make things equivalent, however. Ampere and RDNA2 also support mesh shaders and variable rate shading (VRS), as well as some other features that are all part of the DirectX 12 Ultimate spec. But Nvidia’s performance in ray tracing tends to be quite a bit higher than AMD, even without DLSS.

While FreeSync and G-Sync might seem equivalent on the surface, the best G-Sync displays are almost invariably higher quality and better latency than FreeSync displays. The same goes for AMD’s anti-lag and Nvidia’s ultra-low latency and Reflex: Similar in theory, but in practice Reflex implementations come out on top.

Video encoding and decoding are other important aspects, and here Nvidia definitely comes out ahead. The Turing and Ampere codec support higher-quality encodes and lower GPU utilization, both good things. There’s no need for CPU-based video encoding with Nvidia’s latest GPUs.

There is one area where AMD has a clear advantage, though it’s also perhaps to AMD’s detriment. TSMC’s N7 7nm process that AMD uses for RDNA2 (and RDNA and Zen 3 and the PS5/XSX) chips clearly delivers better performance and power characteristics than Samsung’s custom 8N 8nm (really just an improved version of Samsung’s 10LPP process). The catch is that lots of other companies also want to partake of TSMC’s goodness — AMD, Apple, Nvidia GA100, Qualcomm, and even Intel all use TSMC, along with various other smaller players. This becomes a problem when TSMC doesn’t have enough capacity to meet the demands of all of those companies. This is one of the interesting things about AMD vs Nvidia.

Winner: Nvidia While AMD vs Nvidia has superficial parity on most features, Nvidia’s implementations are generally superior — and cost more. G-Sync, Reflex, DLSS, and NVENC all end up being at least slightly better than AMD’s alternatives.

4. AMD vs Nvidia: Drivers and Software

Trying to determine a clear winner in the drivers and software category is difficult. Quite a few people previously encountered black screen issues with AMD drivers on RX 5000 Navi series GPUs, while others didn’t have any difficulties. Newer drivers have fixed these problems, but some user complaints continue. Nvidia drivers aren’t foolproof either, and depending on the game and hardware, issues crop up for both companies. But is one company doing better with drivers?

AMD makes a lot of noise about its yearly driver overhaul. The Radeon Adrenalin 2020 drivers consolidated everything under one large umbrella, aiming to simplify things, though it can be confusing at first if you’re used to the older drivers. AMD vs Nvidia tends to skip WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) testing, which means fewer hoops to jump through and potentially more bugs slip through, but Microsoft’s insurance of a minimum level of functionality doesn’t really mean much for gaming purposes. You can generally count on at least one new AMD driver per month, often more if there are major game launches.

Nvidia’s driver schedule follows a similar cadence. You’ll get new drivers for major game launches or new graphics card hardware. Nvidia’s releases (outside of hotfixes) are all WHQL certified, and Nvidia also has a separate Studio Driver branch for content creators.

One of the big differences between AMD Vs Nvidia drivers is that Nvidia has two separate user interfaces. The Nvidia Control Panel handles things like resolutions and certain graphics settings, while GeForce Experience tackles game optimizations, driver updates, and extra features including ShadowPlay, Ansel, and more. Annoyingly, you have to log in and solve a captcha prompt to use GeForce Experience, which is something I’ve done more times than I’d ever want to count. Just say no to data mining plus drivers.

Winner: Tie We prefer AMD’s unified driver approach, as it’s one less interface to navigate AMD vs Nvidia, but there’s just so much stuff in the current releases. Nvidia’s Q&A is arguably better, though plenty of bugs and issues end up slipping through on both sides. This is one of the interesting things about AMD vs Nvidia. Quantifying drivers end up being an incredibly subjective affair, however, so we’re calling this one a draw.

5. AMD vs Nvidia: Pricing and Availability

Who offers the better value in the battle of AMD vs Nvidia? Ha. Hahahaha… The wheels fall off this comparison when we get to pricing, as everything remains on backorder. That’s been the case since the RTX 3080 launch last September, and while there are indicators — like the Steam Hardware Survey — that a fair number of people have managed to buy one of the latest generation GPUs, there’s no stock available at any normal retail outlet.

Our GPU Pricing Index takes a look at eBay pricing as an alternative since it’s the one place where you actually can find cards. They’re just sold at exorbitant prices, typically double to triple the official launch price. If you’re not willing to pay eBay pricing — and you shouldn’t! — you’ll need to exercise your patience muscle and just keep trying. Newegg has periodic ‘lotteries’ (several of us have entered multiple times and still come up empty), and we’re told AMD vs Nvidia continue to ship cards “as fast as possible” to their partners. Unfortunately, it’s not fast enough and other component shortages are also a factor.

At the top of the pricing spectrum, the RTX 3090 currently goes for around $3,000, which is double its already extreme $1,500 launch price. RTX 3080 meanwhile sells for roughly $2,200, over triple its official $700 launch price. Even if you’re lucky and manage to score a ‘deal,’ you’d be looking at $1,000 or more for the 3080 and $2,000 or more for the 3090. The only winner there is the retail outlet or AIB that’s raking in the money.

Stepping down to the RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti, both sell for around $1,300–$1,400 on eBay. There’s a very strong correlation between eBay prices and Ethereum mining profitability, across all GPUs, and that extends down even to cards that only have 4GB and technically can’t mine Ethereum very well. (There are other cryptocurrencies that can still be mined on such cards, unfortunately for gamers.) Rounding out the latest GPUs, Nvidia’s RTX 3060 12GB ‘only’ costs $850–$950, which is pretty awful for a card that basically matches the previous generation RTX 2070 in performance.

AMD’s Big Navi GPUs aren’t much better. The RX 6900 XT sells for $1,800–$2,000, the RX 6800 XT goes for $1,500–$1,700, and the RX 6800 costs $1,350–$1,500. Technically, those are all much better relative prices than Nvidia’s Ampere GPUs, but no one should be spending such large sums of money for cards that ostensibly should sell in the $579–$999 range. Oh, and the new RX 6700 XT has a $479 launch price that costs $900–$1,100.

Mainstream and budget GPUs, or at least GPUs that should qualify as mainstream and budget offerings, aren’t any better. GTX 1660 variants sell in the $500+ range instead of $200-$250, and GTX 1650 variants cost $400 or more. The same goes for AMD’s previous-gen RX 5500 XT and RX 5600 XT.

Winner: Nobody It’s a terrible time to buy a graphics card, and that’s been the case since about last August. In retrospect, paying $700 for an RTX 2080 Super last summer would have actually been a ‘good’ deal, as such cards now generally sell for $1,000. If you can find a card at close to MSRP, AMD vs Nvidia match up pretty well, but we probably won’t see cards regularly available at or below MSRP until 2022 — and that’s assuming the mining profitability drops. This is one of the interesting things about AMD vs Nvidia.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson has revealed the publisher has “three or four more” EA sports games that they’re yet to announce that are due to be released during the next fiscal year, which is sometime between April 2022 and the end of March 2023. This is in addition to a strong lineup of games that they have already revealed.

In this article, we will take a look at interesting EA sports games in 2022.

EA Sports Games for 2022 and 2023

There were no hints as to what the unannounced titles could be, although there have been rumors of a new installment in the EA Sports games UFC franchise and a revival of the Fight Night games. As well as the 3-4 unannounced titles, EA has a very diverse lineup of upcoming games. The new Need for Speed game is due to be released during the financial year, as well as the annual sports games like FIFA, Madden NFL, F1, and NHL.

Apex Legends, Knockout City, and The Sims will continue to get new content, while there will also be some new mobile titles like an Apex Legends Mobile game. Of course, there’s also GRID Legends that will be released this current financial year on February 25.

Games whose release windows are not specified and could potentially release after April 2023 include the Dead Space remake, Dragon Age 4, a new Mass Effect title, Skate 4, Respawn’s new game in the Star Wars: Jedi franchise, the all-new Star Wars first-person shooter game, and a Star Wars strategy title.

In a conference call to accompany EA sports games in 2022, the latest financial earnings report, as transcribed by Seeking Alpha, Wilson said they “are always trying to find ways to grow the portfolio year-over-year through new titles, new IP, and expansion.” EA sports games aren’t looking to make any acquisitions at this moment in time, but that “doesn’t mean that we won’t keep looking at everything going forward”. As always, we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as that changes.

In other news, Ghostwire: Tokyo will be getting an official showcase from PlayStation tomorrow, February 3, at 2 pm PT. In the meantime, the release date, pre-order bonuses, and Deluxe Edition have all been confirmed. Elsewhere, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has reportedly been delayed until 2023 for unknown reasons.

1. Upcoming EA Sports Games 2022

EA Sports Games in 2022 is expected to release many new video game titles, and some of them are highly anticipated. Let’s take a look at the list of games that will be coming out in the year 2022.

2. Grid Legends

Codemasters’ classic racer video game Grid Legends has been released this year and features over 130 tracks and around 100 vehicles to choose from. This is the studio’s second title since the EA sports games in 2022 acquisition. Along with the many new vehicles and tracks to choose from, there is also a brand new story mode, Driven to Glory. You can catch this title for PC, PS, and Xbox.

3. Unrevealed Need for Speed Title

There is a new Need for Speed title in the works and is probably set for release sometime this year. The popular racing franchise has still not revealed the latest title, but VCG is planning on setting it up during the Q4 2022 release. EA sports games in 2022 Gothenburg did hint at it is available for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

Since their last Need for Speed title was back in 2020, the latest installment will be the most anticipated amongst the Need for the Speed fan base.

4. Dead Space Remake

The popular action-horror video game is set to have a reboot of the popular Dead Space installment. The remake will include new character models, assets, and new environments to explore. There are also new features such as peeling, which is quite a visual treat for survival horror video game players. Dead Space remake will be available on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

5. Dragon Age 4

The fourth installment of the Dragon Age series for BioWare is gearing up for its release sometime this year. This time players would be taken to Tevinter and will see the return of Solas. It is the most sought-after title in the series now, since Dragon Age: Inquisition was released back in 2014. Dragon Age 4 will be out on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

3. Resizable Bar Support

Resizable BAR makes use of a PCI Express capability to boost speed in some games. Resizable BAR is supported for GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics cards and laptops as of March 30th, 2021. Users will require a GeForce RTX 30 Series graphics card with a supporting VBIOS, a compatible CPU, compatible motherboard, motherboard SBIOS update, and our latest GeForce Game Ready driver to take advantage of Resizable BAR on desktops. Please verify with the manufacturer to see whether Resizable BAR is supported on a certain model of GeForce RTX 30 Series laptop. This is one of the best feature of Nvidia Geforce 3090Ti.

Resizable BAR is a PCI Express interface technique that is optional. GPU memory (VRAM) regularly transmits textures, shaders, and geometry via numerous tiny CPU to GPU transfers as you navigate around a game’s environment. The ever-increasing amount of current game assets necessitates several transfers. Assets may be requested as-needed and supplied in full using Resizable BAR, allowing the CPU to efficiently access the whole frame buffer. In addition, rather than queuing, numerous requests can be transferred simultaneously.

4. Directx 12 Ultimate

The latest version of the API, DirectX 12 Ultimate, is the new gold standard for next-generation games. With support for ray tracing, mesh shaders, variable rate shading, and sampler feedback, DirectX 12 Ultimate brings games to a whole new level of realism. The first and only PC platform to offer these game-changing technologies is GeForce RTX.

DirectX Raytracing allows games to model how light behaves in real life, resulting in stunningly realistic and attractive graphical effects like as global lighting, reflections, and shadows. The needs of ray tracing applications were built into GeForce RTX GPUs from the outset. With DXR games and apps, specialized RT cores available only on GeForce RTX graphics cards give billions of rays per second of performance and up to 3X the frame rates. For the first time, ray tracing at real-time frame rates is achievable. This is most popular feature of Nvidia Geforce 3090Ti.

5. 8K HDR

You can play, capture, and watch in 8K HDR with the Nvidia GeForce 3090TI and RTX 3090. For extraordinary levels of detail, that’s 4X as many pixels as 4K and 16X as many pixels as 1080p. When you add HDR’s incredible contrast, you get a whole new level of gaming excellence. The GeForce RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti are gaming giants, with large 24 GB frame buffers and enough horsepower to take on many popular titles at 8K. With only a single wire connection from your PC to your 8K display, each GPU supports 8K 60Hz HDR and Variable Refresh Rate as required in HDMI 2.1.

The world’s first software capable of 8K HDR gameplay recording is available with Nvidia GeForce 3090Ti and 3090 GPUs and GeForce Experience—no additional or specialized capture card is required. This implies that with the touch of a button, you can capture 8K HDR footage with NVIDIA Geforce 3090Ti ShadowPlay. To access ShadowPlay, driver updates, and more, download GeForce Experience.

Stream and playback videos at 8K HDR using the new AV1 decoder on GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and 3090 GPUs, which allow for more efficient 8K HDR YouTube video streaming. With far better compression than

6. NVIDIA G-Sync

For the smoothest, highest-quality, and most intense games, you already rely on GeForce® technology. When it comes to your game display, why settle for anything less?

NVIDIA Geforce 3090Ti ® G-SYNC® displays have undergone extensive testing to ensure that they meet the highest requirements. Immersion with no tears. Innovative technology. And the fastest refresh rates in the industry for unrivaled performance. Every game, every time, and every location. With G-wide SYNC’s frequency range, lowest latency, and maximum refresh rates, you can expect ultra-smooth visuals that react instantaneously to what’s on the screen. This is one of the best feature of Nvidia Geforce 3090Ti.

The world’s first and only system latency measuring tool detects clicks from Reflex compatible mouse and measures the time it takes for the associated pixels (gun muzzle flash) to change on screen on NVIDIA G-SYNC Displays with Reflex. NVIDIA G-SYNC® displays will redefine the way you think about competitive gaming with tear-free refresh rates up to 360 Hz, incredible responsiveness, built-in esports mode, and superb image quality.

Every G-SYNC display is put through thorough testing to ensure high quality and performance. Hundreds of models have been put to the test, but only those that pass get the title of G-SYNC.

7. Nvidia Dlss (Max Fps. Max Quality. Powered By AI)

NVIDIA Geforce 3090Ti DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is a ground-breaking AI rendering method that uses dedicated Tensor Core AI processors on GeForce RTXTM GPUs to boost graphics performance. To enhance frame rates and provide beautiful, clear visuals for your games, DLSS uses the power of a deep learning neural network. With DLSS technology, you may enjoy ray tracing and ultra-high resolutions. It employs powerful AI rendering to provide visual quality that is equivalent to native resolution, if not greater, while only generating a fraction of the pixels. Advanced temporal feedback techniques provide extraordinarily crisp visual details as well as better frame-to-frame stability.

DLSS may be found in a wide range of games, from blockbusters like Cyberpunk 2077 and Fortnite to indie favorites like Pumpkin Jack, and new titles being launched on a regular basis. This is one of the best feature of Nvidia Geforce 3090Ti.

8. Geforce Rtx For Virtual Reality (Great VR Takes A Great GPU)

Virtual reality provides some of the most immersive PC gaming experiences. However, getting VR correctly is difficult. VR is one of the most demanding PC applications, requiring the world’s most powerful GPUs, with effective display resolutions of 4K and increasing, minimum refresh rates of 90 Hz, and razor-thin latency tolerances.

NVIDIA Geforce 3090Ti RTXTM GPUs deliver the horsepower needed to run the newest VR headsets. They also have technology that allows you to crank up the settings for genuinely mind-blowing, immersive gameplay.

Whether you’re gaming, browsing the web, or working on your computer, you’ll spend a significant amount of time on your keyboard. The finest gaming keyboard will provide a well-rounded experience that lives up to its function as the centerpiece of your gaming setup, from the ease with which you can text on it to the split-second responsiveness it provides.

However, gaming keyboards come in a variety of forms and sizes, and your demands might influence which keyboard is best for you. A wireless gaming keyboard may provide greater configuration flexibility and a cleaner work area, but a high-end wired keyboard may provide more functions and eliminate the hassle of having to locate fresh batteries or recharge on a regular basis. If you keep your computer out in a common living room, a clicky mechanical keyboard may provide a consistent experience and pleasing feel, but you should opt for something quieter. In this article, we will take a look at the top 6 gaming keyboards to buy in 2022.

All of these variables combine to create a keyboard that is not only beautiful but also beneficial to you. We put a variety of kinds to the test to see which ones genuinely stand out as champions in certain areas. All of the gaming keyboards on our list are worth considering, so all you have to do now is decide which one looks like the greatest match for your gaming setup.

List of Top 6 Gaming Keyboards :

1. Logitech G Pro X

Gamers who don’t require a numeric keypad, don’t have a lot of desk space, or simply wish to play with their hands closer together would like tenkeyless gaming keyboards. The detachable key switches on the Logitech G Pro make it a standout option in its class, allowing you to add a mix of clicky, tactile, or linear switches anywhere you want—even on the arrow keys. It’s the first gaming keyboard that lets you completely modify the layout by placing different-feeling keys next to each other.

The Logitech G Pro keyboard is constructed like a tank, with a degree of customizability you won’t find anywhere else. With its totally detachable cord and inner steel structure, this keyboard was also meant to be taken to gaming events. You won’t have to worry about crashing it on the way to LAN parties or competitions.

2. Roccat Magma

With the Roccat Magma, Roccat has truly spiced up the budget-keyboard market. The name gives the best indication of the effects this keyboard will produce. The keyboard is constructed around a semi-transparent top plate that allows the five-zone RGB illumination to shine through practically the whole top surface. It will appear like magma if you use red and orange. Light shines up through each keycap with membrane key switches, illuminating the inscriptions brilliantly.

When there are no dedicated multimedia or macro keys on the Roccat Magma, Roccat has provided some extra control while gaming. You may map a variety of auxiliary inputs to a lot of keys in the WASD region, where your hand will generally sit when gaming keyboards, using the Easy-Shift button. All of this seems reasonable for $60, but Roccat also adds a retractable palm rest for extra convenience.

3. Corsair K63 Wireless

Wireless gaming keyboards are few and few between, but I chose the Corsair K63 Wireless since it’s equally as dependable as its wired counterpart and makes absolutely no concessions to remove the connection. The Corsair K63 Wireless is one of the smallest tenkeyless keyboards on the market, yet it still has complete media controls and a battery that lasts 10-25 hours with the blue backlight on and 75 hours without it.

You may use the wireless dongle and Bluetooth connection to connect this gaming keyboard to several devices. Corsair has also produced a lapboard that transforms the K63 Wireless into one of the best gaming keyboards for couch gaming.

4. SteelSeries Apex 5

You may find cheaper keyboards, even mechanical ones, than the SteelSeries Apex 5, but you’ll be losing out on a lot of what SteelSeries has to offer with this keyboard. SteelSeries is able to replicate the feel of mechanical key switches while saving money by adopting hybrid switches.

SteelSeries is able to provide tremendous value elsewhere by keeping the cost of the switches low. A magnetic wrist rest, complete RGB lighting that you can tune per-key (and SteelSeries offers some of the most snazzy RGB lighting effects available), and a strong aluminum design are all included. There aren’t many keyboards that provide as much for $100.

5. Razer Ornata V2

Razer has improved its already high-quality Razer Ornata to keep it a viable alternative for budget gamers. The Razer Ornata V2 adds dedicated media controls, including a volume wheel, to the previously empty area in the upper right corner of the original keyboard. Once you’ve become used to having rapid access to media controls, you’ll find it difficult to go back.

Aside from that, the hybrid Mecha-Membrane key switches that mix the feel of mechanical with the affordability of membrane are still available. A well-cushioned wrist rest with magnets that connects to the keyboard is also included. There are plenty of RGB LEDs to make the keyboard sparkle. That’s per-key RGB lighting, so you can tweak it to your heart’s content, but Razer has already packed in a few fun effects.

6. Corsair K70 RGB MK.2

The Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 is designed to perform. With the selection of Cherry MX Blue, Red, Brown, Speed, or Silent mechanical switches, this gaming keyboard may be customized to fit your desired playstyle, from excessively clicky to smooth and linear. Naturally, a keyboard of this grade has the NKRO and anti-ghosting features you’ll need to guarantee that all of your inputs are properly recorded in-game.

Thanks to its per-key RGB lighting settings, the Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 doesn’t skimp on aesthetics. The keyboard also has some useful functions for both usefulness and organization.  It features USB passthrough, so you won’t have to run as many cords from your desk to your computer. It also includes dedicated media keys, which give you greater control in one spot and allow you to rapidly adjust the volume or skip a track without missing a beat in your game.

Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox (XBOX Vs Playstation) have been at odds for over two decades. But who is the victor? A journey through the ages. Microsoft’s Xbox brand joined the gaming business over 18 years ago. This action triggered a decades-long feud between the corporation and Sony, the parent company of PlayStation. The so-called console wars have driven gamers to choose sides throughout the years, with some even defending their preferred device with zeal.

When Microsoft released the first Xbox video game console, the PlayStation was the undisputed console market leader. It had been in charge since the mid-1990s. The first PlayStation sold over a hundred million copies, which was a huge number at the time.

By the end of the 1990s, Microsoft was concerned about what we now refer to as the PlayStation’s threat to the console business. In many of us gaming minds, Xbox vs Playstation was and still is an effort to reclaim territory for Microsoft. While Xbox vs Playstation was the new kid on the block, it had the backing of the whole Bill Gates organization. Microsoft has also converted Windows CE to the Sega Dreamcast prior to the Xbox vs Playstation, providing them familiarity with consoles.

Here are some interesting facts you need to know about XBOX vs Playstation.

1. Sony’s Focus on Exclusivity

For a long time, new consoles were generally advertised as having “platform exclusive” games that were exclusively accessible on that machine. Sony and Microsoft have paid millions of dollars to developers in the past for exclusive arrangements. In order to prevent Grand Theft Auto IV from being a Playstation 3 exclusive, Microsoft paid Rockstar Games $75 million in 2010.

This tradition continues with Sony’s latest PS5 launch. Naughty Dog (Uncharted, The Last of Us) and Sony Computer Entertainment’s Santa Monica Studio are among the first-party exclusives advertised for the system (God of War). Sony has also had significant success selling hardware peripherals that enhance the appeal of its systems, as seen by recent quarterly sales.  The PlayStation virtual reality headset sold more than five million units worldwide during the last generation. In contrast, Microsoft quickly abandoned the Kinect. This motion-sensing device bundled with the Xbox One never won over its audience. This is one of interesting thing about XBOX Vs Playstation.

2. The Rise of Subscription Gaming

Despite the fact that Sony outsold Microsoft with the PS4 last generation, Microsoft appears to have changed the goalposts in 2020. As Phil Spencer points out, Microsoft’s goal is no longer to sell the most consoles, but to amass the largest number of gamers, regardless of where they play. The console is now almost irrelevant. For example, Microsoft’s Game Pass subscription service, which debuted in 2017, gives users access to Xbox vs Playstation games on both consoles and computers. Game Pass is similar to Netflix in that it charges a monthly subscription for access to a library of content. Although a Game Pass subscription isn’t required, Microsoft claims that 70% of X/S console players do.

3. Gaming on the Cloud, Everywhere

Game Pass is powered by “cloud gaming” technology. Unlike consoles, which supply the local processing gear needed to play games, cloud gaming includes streaming games from a host’s remote servers to the user’s device over the internet. Cloud gaming allows for smooth cross-platform gaming, which has advanced dramatically in recent years. Due to “high latency,” this hasn’t worked successfully in the past. The time between making an input (such as shooting a character) and receiving the output is referred to as this (the character being shot).

Cloud gaming is becoming a competitive field, with huge tech giants like Google and Amazon stepping in, thanks to increasing computer power, internet connections, and creative design tactics. With PS Now, Sony began experimenting with cloud gaming in 2014. This site allows you to broadcast older games like PS3 games. While Sony continues to provide PS Now on the PS5, at a lower cost than Microsoft’s Game Pass, the service is still mostly focused on older titles. Microsoft, on the other hand, is heavily promoting its new Project xCloud.

This service, which is included with GamePass, allows users to stream certain recent Xbox vs Playstation games to their smartphone or tablet without having to purchase an Xbox console. This is one of interesting thing about XBOX Vs Playstation.

4. PlayStation has a Better UI Overall

There is one significant difference between XBOX Vs Playstation , the PS4 and Xbox One user interfaces. If someone were to check out both systems for the first time, they would find the PlayStation 4’s UI to be completely intuitive. With the PS4’s user interface, it’s practically impossible to get lost. The system’s media bar prominently displays games, store, friends, settings, and so on. This is one of interesting thing about XBOX Vs Playstation.

While the Xbox One’s user interface is still good, the current generation is a touch more difficult and requires some understanding. When learning how to use the Xbox One, there are a number of shortcuts to remember. It takes a second to find out how to bring up your friends list. When you consider how many various types of gamers (of all ages) are likely to use Xbox, it’s not complex, but it’s not entirely obvious.

5. The Future of Xbox is Bright — Your Games Are Future Proof

With the Games Anywhere Initiative and Project Scorpio coming out in 2017, you can be confident that many of your Xbox games will look great in the future. Microsoft has gone above and above to bring individual Xbox 360 games to the Xbox One, and its new first-party titles are already being scaled for 4K. You may rest certain that your game library will not vanish. This is one of interesting thing about XBOX Vs Playstation.

Microsoft is attempting to develop the concept of owning all of your games in perpetuity. Microsoft wants you to build up a sizable gaming collection on your account. Their current idea is that your Xbox games should always travel with you, regardless of which (Microsoft) system you wish to play them on. It’s a fantastic preservationist vision, to be sure. Xbox is clearly committed to the long haul.

There are a lot of amazing underrated games out there that don’t receive enough credit. But what about the games that, in my opinion, are underappreciated? These are games that may have slipped under the radar or failed to sell as well as their publishers planned, leaving them mostly forgotten by the gaming world. In this list, we’ll spotlight certain games that don’t receive the respect they deserve, whether it’s because of a unique gameplay system, a compelling plot, or something else.

Platformers to first-person shooters are examples of such games. Despite their lack of widespread notoriety, the most of them have developed a fan base of gamers who continue to appreciate them. The examples below are some of the greatest in recent memory.

Here is a list of the top 7 most underrated games of all time;

1. The Surge

Lords of the Fallen by Deck13 Interactive was a rather generic Souls-like, with a fantasy backdrop and little to distinguish it from similar clones. With The Surge, a science-fiction action-RPG that’s equal parts Bloodborne and Elysium, the company went in a completely new route. It separated out from the competition with a limb-targeting system, unique exo-suit upgrades, and an industrial atmosphere, and even simplified some of the genre’s most difficult elements.

Although the sequel received greater praise, the first game is well worth playing for anybody seeking for their next controller-breaking addiction. This is one of the most underrated games of all time.

2. The Evil Within 2

Shinji Mikami directed Resident Evil 4, one of the finest survival horror games of all time, and underrated games of all time. Fans were excited to see if he could top that with The Evil Within. The game couldn’t live up to its predecessor’s excellent standards, and it frequently felt like it was walking the same territory. The Evil Within 2, on the other hand, was far stranger and more polished than its predecessor. Instead, it was an entirely unique and thought-provoking take on the genre, replete with plot that fit the gameplay.

Despite this, sales were disappointing, and it’s uncertain whether developer Tango Gameworks will be given another shot. This is one of the most underrated games of all time.

3. Resident Evil: Revelations 2

Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 7 both received critical praise this generation and underrated games of all time, while the offshoot horror game Resident Evil: Revelations 2 was mostly overlooked. The game, which stars a mix of new and old characters, including Claire Redfield from Resident Evil 2, plays like a cross between the classic series and the newer, more action-oriented installments.

Rather than the fatal ship scenario of the last game, it places our heroes on a remote prison island, where they face some of the franchise’s most horrific foes. Resident Evil: Revelations 2 lacks the production qualities of the more popular main titles, yet it’s a must-play for horror lovers because to its old-school elements. This is one of the most underrated games of all time.

4. Star Wars Battlefront 2

Star Wars Battlefront 2 has been one of the most remarkable redemption stories in gaming history and underrated games of all time, having debuted amid widespread criticism for its lack of content and tightly integrated microtransaction system. After years of free upgrades and material, the present game is a modern-day love letter to the Star Wars series and a superb shooter for both movie aficionados and general shooter enthusiasts alike.

It’s a fantastic class shooter, and most of the maps are enjoyable to play, even if some modes might drag on a little too long. Of course, having the Star Wars license provides Battlefront II an advantage in some areas, but nothing compares to diving into battle holding Luke Skywalker’s famous green lightsaber or deploying Slave One’s seismic charge. This is one of the most underrated games of all time.

5. Thief: Deadly Shadows

This game was mostly missed for two reasons: first, there were many more powerful games released in the same year, such as Far Cry and, in particular, Doom 3 and Half-Life 2. As a result, Thief had a rather low-key release. Those who gave it a chance said it wasn’t quite as excellent as Thief: The Dark Project/Gold or Thief II: The Metal Age. The lack of rope arrows and the blackjack, which was also absent, were both blatant omissions. Because of engine constraints, there were several loading screens during missions, which were not present in the prior two.

It also seems to suffer from AI and animation flaws as a result of the technology it employed (Unreal Engine 2.0), making it somewhat problematic, similar to its cousin, Deus Ex: Invisible War, which also came out of Ion Storm Austin. There was also very little connection to the prior two games, leading to claims that it alienated fans of the original games in order to attract a wider audience.

However, the game still has a lot going for it. I loved how they opened up the city map so that players had to travel to missions and could stop in at merchants to buy supplies and sell products acquired during missions, as well as complete side tasks. It also featured a fantastic atmosphere in and around the city, as well as during missions – perhaps as excellent as, if not better than, the first two – and, of course, a graphical improvement, which was much welcomed. This is one of the most underrated games of all time.

6. Alpha Protocol

This game, which was released in mid-2010, certainly falls under the category of “underrated games.” Alpha Protocol has demonstrated that even non-FPS games are worth looking out for, thanks to its excellent storyline. Obsidian Entertainment has done an excellent job in terms of attention to detail, as well as the characters and conversations.

Unlike other non-FPS games, Alpha Protocol makes the user feel personally involved in the game’s events and most underrated games of all time.

7. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare was the first game that Sledgehammer Games took the lead on, yet it did not suffer from the growing pains that one might expect with bigger games like Black Ops 4 and Modern Warfare grabbing the focus. Advanced Warfare is a superb shooter with a gripping story that warns against the evils of private military contractors, a vertical multiplayer component with exo-suits, and some of the best weapon handling and growth in the series to yet.

Its step into the future may have been its undoing, since it is unlikely to see a sequel, but it is a Call of Duty game done correctly. This is one of the most underrated games of all time.
