We put every current model from ATI and NVIDIA through its paces to find out which offers the best performance and value.

The graphics market is a cutthroat game, and we have seen many casualties recently. Not all of them have been fatal, like Matrox, which has recently backed out of the consumer race, or Rendition, whic

With so many factors to consider, choosing a motherboard can be a bewildering exercise. We put 11 models through their pace to find the ultimate in performance, flexibility and value

Great gaming performance has never been so affordable. We test 22 current cards from Nvidia and ATI to find what works and what doesn't

All the current chipsets from both the big gaming guns – ATi and Nvidia – tested, reviewed and rated.

The PC Authority Labs team runs about a million benchmarks and looks under the hood of the latest generation of GPUs to find which one's the best.

Capacity? Value for money? Who's got what? Read on to find out who has the best marriage of both.

This month we’ve taken 12 of the fastest optical drives, run them through their paces and sorted the award winners from the less than impressive performers.

We've taken seven top business PCs and run them through their paces to find out which should be your next upgrade.

Benchmarking PCs is a tricky business. You need to ensure that you stress the systems, but also that the results you get will be relevant in the real world. Previously we have relied heavily on BAPCo's SYSmark2002 for simulating home and office use, with programs such as Excel, Word, Outlook, and web content through Adobe Premiere and Macromedia Dreamweaver. However, due to SYSmark's history of instability as well as the sheer length of time it takes to complete a run, we have put it on the backburner in favour of PCMark04 for this Labs.

Intel’s three new CPUs promise Core i7 power in an economical and efficient package. We put them through their paces to see whether small really is beautiful

From Celerons to Core i7s, Semprons to Phenom IIs, David Bayon tests Mainsteam desktop processors and finds the best budget, mid-range and enthusiast (gaming) choice for you.

There may be two main CPU manufacturers, but picking the right processor is anything but simple. We put 51 CPUs through their paces

Unlike many of our performance-based Labs, business workstations are a whole different world of PCs, focusing not on the maximum number of frames per second, or how many overall points they can churn out in any given benchmarking utility.

Finding a good PC or notebook for the family is not as hard as you might think. PC Authority  puts the latest models to the test.
