Featured-packed Eizo Foris gaming monitor offers FreeSync controls

PC gamers would argue that there’s no better way to experience the likes of Fallout 4 and Star Wars Battlefront than on a high-end custom gaming system, but even the most impressive rig needs an equally compelling monitor to properly fulfill its purpose.

That seems to be the thought process behind the attention-grabbing Eizo Foris FS2735. Sporting a 27-inch 2,560 x 1,440 IPS display, this would be an appealing option for anyone looking for a crystal-clear window into the latest gaming releases. However, the real benefit of this monitor is the gamer-centric functionality that it offers alongside its attractive specs.

The product’s user manual has revealed that the FS2735 will allow users with FreeSync ready graphics cards to switch between two different modes. The High setting will cover a vertical scan frequency range of 56Hz to 144Hz, while the Low option will cover 35Hz to 90Hz.

A huge part of the charm of PC gaming is the fact that there are plenty more customization options available to the user in comparison to consoles. Two separate FreeSync settings seems like a canny way of allowing players to ensure that their games are running perfectly with a minimum of effort.

As well as this functionality and its lush display, the Eizo Foris FS2735 also boasts 16.77 million colors, a grey-to-grey response time of 4ms and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. The monitor also offers cloud profile support, Eizo’s own Smart Insight Demolition technology and the ability for smartphone notifications to by transmitted to the border of its display.

Despite being announced back in August at Gamescom 2015, Eizo has yet to announce pricing and a release date for the FS2735. However, given the monitor’s specs and the sort of functionality on offer, it’s perhaps to be expected that we’ll see the product ship with a fairly high price point.

4 CPUs you should buy instead of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D sitting on a motherboard.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is one of the best gaming processors you can buy, and it's easy to see why. It's easily the fastest gaming CPU on the market, it's reasonably priced, and it's available on a platform that AMD says it will support for several years. But it's not the right chip for everyone.

Although the Ryzen 7 7800X3D ticks all the right boxes, there are several alternatives available. Some are cheaper while still offering great performance, while others are more powerful in applications outside of gaming. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a great CPU, but if you want to do a little more shopping, these are the other processors you should consider.

Even the new mid-tier Snapdragon X Plus beats Apple’s M3

You might have already heard of the Snapdragon X Elite, the upcoming chips from Qualcomm that everyone's excited about. They're not out yet, but Qualcomm is already announcing another configuration to live alongside it: the Snapdragon X Plus.

The Snapdragon X Plus is pretty similar to the flagship Snapdragon X Elite in terms of everyday performance but, as a new chip tier, aims to bring AI capabilities to a wider portfolio of ARM-powered laptops. To be clear, though, this one is a step down from the flagship Snapdragon X Elite, in the same way that an Intel Core Ultra 7 is a step down from Core Ultra 9.

Gigabyte just confirmed AMD’s Ryzen 9000 CPUs

Gigabyte spoiled AMD's surprise a bit by confirming the company's next-gen CPUs. In a press release announcing a new BIOS for X670, B650, and A620 motherboards, Gigabyte not only confirmed that support has been added for next-gen AMD CPUs, but specifically referred to them as "AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors."

We've already seen MSI and Asus add support for next-gen AMD CPUs through BIOS updates, but neither of them called the CPUs Ryzen 9000. They didn't put out a dedicated press release for the updates, either. It should go without saying, but we don't often see a press release for new BIOS versions, suggesting Gigabyte wanted to make a splash with its support.
