Officially, Steam Deck only supports M.2 2230 SSDs, but modders have found a way to use 2242 form factor SSDs inside the portable console. This increases the variety of SSDs you can mount on the console and the storage, as 2242 SSDs tend to come with more. However, modding the console to support such SSDs will shorten its lifespan, according to a Valve engineer.

It's the start of a new KitGuru modded build series, this time with all AMD hardware!

AMD has been rumoured to be working on a Navi GPU with an MCM deign for some time now, although some sources ended up contradicting this claim.

After many months of overpriced GPUs, the saga is finally coming to an end. Recently, Nvidia restocked its Founders Edition graphics cards at MSRP here in the UK.

While Nvidia's RTX 30 series cards have been popular, supply chain constraints, price inflation and a booming crypto market meant that many gamers have been unable to get one. Things are starting to turn around though, as RTX 3080 and RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition cards have just been re-stocked at MSRP in the UK, and second-hand GPUs on eBay have also come down in price considerably, putting the days of a £1500 RTX 3080 behind us for good (hopefully).

AOC has made some decent ultrawide gaming monitors over the years, but the new AGON Pro AG344UXM might be its best yet.

What’s more, nearly all new multiplayer games now offer crossplay, meaning you can play with whoever you want regardless of your platform of choice.

For decades, we have had a love-hate relationship with 3D. From its earliest iterations using blue and red lenses to the 3D TV boom of the late 2000s.
