Here’s how to build your home theatre PCedit
Building a home theatre personal computer (HTPC) from scratch gives one plenty of options to personalise, and save money. In this case, an Intel i3 or AMD Ryzen 3 processor should be able to do the trick. If 4K video is to be streamed or played through the HTPC, a slightly more powerful Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor is recommended. An Intel i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 is better if 4K video is to be viewed. However, it is important to keep in mind one point here.

Gaming NVIDIA Releases DLSS Support For Anthem; Claims 40 Percent Boost In Performanceedit
NVIDIA’s RTX GPUs are based on their new Turing architecture that brought real-time ray tracing to consumers. Ray tracing is a technique used to render lighting in an environment as it should in the real world. This means the environment will be illuminated by the light source and all the light rays bouncing off the objects. And using NVIDIA’s RTX GPUs, all of this will be done in real-time. However, real-time ray tracing isn’t exclusive to NVIDIA’s RTX GPUs, since Crytek recently demonstrated the same on an AMD Vega 56 GPU.

Look who has now gone slim and trimedit
The packaging of the ml5 was large so on unboxing it, we were pleasantly surprised that the actual size of the laptop was well in the 15-inch notebook range. It does tip the scales a tad bit at 2.1 kg, but it’s now much easier to slip an Alienware gaming laptop into a backpack and move it around. The review unit came in the Epic Silver colour (the other is Nebula Red) and it looked formal enough to sit on an office desk without looking out of place.
