If you’re a PC enthusiast with a bottomless bank account, then yesterday’s Titan Z release probably had you salivating. However, if your PC component budget is more aptly described with words like “modest” and “tight,” then the company’s other new graphics card launch may be more up your alley.

Nvidia is following up the release of its Titan Z behemoth with the GeForce GT 740, a value-oriented graphics card that’s priced at roughly $100, depending on which revised version of the card you grab. Though previous budget releases this year employ the company’s new Maxwell architecture, like the Nvidia 750 Ti, the GT 740 is stuffed with an older Kepler GK107 GPU.

As for base specs, the Nvidia GT 740 sports 384 CUDA cores, a base clock of 993 MHz, and has a TDP of 64 watts. Ports include DVI-I, DVI-D, and mini HDMI. These cards will generally ship with either 1GB or 2GB of RAM. As you might expect though, some of these specs will get tweaked by companies who take the card, and make their own changes.

Nvidia GeForce Now vs. Shadow: Which streaming service is right for you?

Should Shadow or GeForce Now be your game streaming service?

Someone playing For

Cloud game streaming could be the next big thing in the video game industry. Large tech companies believe that consumers are ready to ditch gaming PCs that need to be constantly updated and perhaps even dedicated game consoles. The appeal of game streaming is understandable, as it allows you to scale up as games get more demanding without purchasing new hardware.

It's too early to tell if game streaming really will change the face of the industry, but we'll probably find out when Google Stadia and Microsoft's Project xCloud arrive later this year. In the meantime, two streaming services are already out in front of the competition: Nvidia GeForce Now and Blade's Shadow. So the question is: Which service wins in the Nvidia GeForce Now vs. Shadow battle?

Usually $1,500, this HP gaming PC with an RTX 4070 is $800 today

The HP Omen 40L sitting on a coffee table.

While gaming laptops tend to get all the love and attention these days, that doesn't mean that the gaming desktop market hasn't also been booming quite significantly. It used to be that you had to build your PC from scratch or buy from a boutique seller, but now even the big brands have gotten into the pre-built gaming PC market. One great example is the Omen 40L gaming desktop from HP, with this entry-level configuration going for just $800 rather than the usual $1,500, which amounts to a whopping $700 discount.

Why you should buy the OMEN 40L Gaming Desktop
The Omen 40L has a lot of configurations to pick from, and while they aren't all a great deal, this one starts on an excellent foundation. At the heart of the build is an RTX 4060, an excellent 1080p GPU that should handle most modern games just fine with high graphical fidelity and above 100 frames per second. That said, you can do quite a few upgrades in the Customizer, and probably one of the better options would be the RTX 4060 Ti for an extra $160, although if you're willing to spend all of the discount, you could also potentially go for an RTX 4080 for $990.

Get this HP 17-inch laptop for $300 instead of the usual $660

Seventeen-inch laptops toe the line between portability and size, making them more expensive than your average laptop. Some of the best 17-inch laptops can easily cost you thousands of dollars. Luckily, there HP has come up with a very budget-friendly solution in the form of the HP laptop 17z, and while it's not one of the best laptops on the market, it is an excellent budget-oriented choice for a 17-inch laptop. Even better, HP currently discounts it down to $300 from the usual $560 price tag, which is a significant $260 off.

Why you should buy the HP Laptop 17z
As the name implies, the HP Laptop 17z has a large 17.3-inch screen running a 1920 x 1080 resolution and can hit a peak brightness of 250nits, which isn't a lot, but it's good enough for a well-lit room, especially with its anti-glare coating. You could potentially upgrade to a touch version of the screen for $30, but since it would knock the resolution down to 1600 x 900, it's not worth it, especially with a larger 17.3-inch screen. What will be worth the upgrade is taking the networking option from the Wi-Fi5 and Bluetooth 4.2 standard up to the Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 standard for an extra $20, which will make sure your laptop has a strong connection for streaming or doing online meetings and will be future-proof for at least the next 5-6 years.
