Nvidia RTX Driver Update!!! Nvidia 20 series GPU framerates with DXR raytracing turned looked weak when Battlefield V first came out. (No, really, check HardOCP.) With the release of Nvida’s latest driver, performance got a bump. How big? We talk about the results Guru3D got in the video… and if it’s time to buy a 20 series Nvidia GPU yet (is RTX that good yet?), or stay with the trusty 10 series GTX cards!

Sub-$1000 Gaming Laptop Recco Mikeybc23 tweets, “Hey @TekThing crew. Last week you covered the Lenovo Legion desktop gaming rig, which got me searching for my son for school/gaming.
