Right on cue, Nvidia has announced its newest GPU, the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. If you were on the fence about forking out for the RTX 30 Series flagships a few months ago, the 3060 Ti brings at least some of that power down to a more palatable price.

Desktop computers can get rather bulky, which is unnecessary for people who just need to access the internet or do office work. If a mini PC takes up too much space for you, the new Raspberry Pi 400 packs a whole home computer into just a keyboard.

Nvidia has unveiled a new entry-level graphics card for its recently-released RTX 20 series. The RTX 2060 has the same focus on ray tracing techniques as the RTX 2070, 2080 and 2080 Ti, but strips away some of the higher-end features to bridge the gap between last generation and the new one.
