Make this year’s biggest games shine with glorious high-detail, thumping sound and the best accessories

Can you imagine a time when computers didn't have GPUs? Here are graphics technologies that helped take computing out of the lab and into the hands of consumers and professionals

Intel has been outlining its research into the future of the internet and is predicting an increasing merging of the online and real worlds.

It’s one of the facts of the gaming hobbyist’s life: cutting edge games require cutting edge hardware. It’s as set in stone as Moore’s Law (which is itself now 40 years old). Every 12 to 18 months you need to upgrade or get left behind. Our contenders this month make a very good case for starting with a clean slate, and none more so than this month’s winner, the Modtech Civic-64FX.

Nvidia’s latest graphics cards and chips throw down the gauntlet to Intel and AMD. Go behind the scenes with this guide to the big technologies including PhysX, CUDA, and games like Far Cry 2 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky.

We provide the commentary on a bruising eight-round battle between Vista and Tiger.

'Fundamental new architecture' promises major speed boost.

The Quadro FX3000 is based on the same NV35 core that powers the latest GeForce FX 5900 cards, but with a few new additions to cater to the professional market. Compared to the older Quadro FX2000, which was based on the NV30, or GeForce FX5800, the FX3000 has double the memory, at 256MB, as well as a 256-bit memory interface, giving double the theoretical graphics bandwidth, hitting just over 27GB/s. It also supports other features from the NV35, including a 128-bit floating-point precision graphics pipeline, 128-bit colour, 12-bit sub-pixel accuracy, 16x full-scene anti-aliasing, 3D volumetric textures, and of course support for all the latest OpenGL, DirectX and NVIDIA’s own Cg graphics language versions.

There was a time when Pinnacle dominated the PC video-editing market. But, after its initial success with the DV500, the advent of sophisticated realtime editing seemed to leave the company behind. While it was a good product, the company’s Pro-ONE arrived when competitive products from Matrox and Canopus had been available for some time. The Pinnacle Edition PRO 5 is an entirely different matter.

The history of big tech mergers includes some successes and spectacular failures, including AOL's much-criticised dalliance with Time Warner, AMD's buyout of ATI, and Apple's arguably excellent decision to buy NeXT

The GPU acceleration platform hits new milestone, using the parallel processing abilities of graphics chips to shoulder some of the processing load from the CPU.

Last year, we predicted that pico projectors were going to be big news. And this year, they're going to be everywhere

It's a PC, it's a PVR, and it's a Blu-Ray player - could the new TP2 be the answer to all your HD dreams?
