ASRock has just released a new GPU power cable that the company says is protected from overheating, thanks to the use of thermal sensors inside it. The launch follows numerous reports about melted graphics cards, particularly Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 and 5090 models, which draw a large amount of power over the cable. Theres a catch, though, which is that you need to use it with an ASRock power supply in order to use the thermal sensors.While its undoubtedly the fastest gaming GPU in our guide to buying the best graphics card, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 also has a total graphics power rating of 575W, and in some cases, the cables attached to it have overheated, resulting in melted power plugs and sockets. The cable has been shown to get extremely hot in some tests as well, with renowned overclocker Roman 'der8auer' Hartung even showing an RTX 5090 cable temperature hitting 153C at the PSU end. This new ASRock cable is designed to prevent overheating, though.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is about to welcome its second story expansion, Legacy of the Forge. Larger in size and scope than the first DLC, Brushes with Death, it sees Henry attempt to rebuild his fathers old forge, become the elite blacksmith Kuttenberg needs, and sink his profits into a heavily customizable residence. At Gamescom in Germany, I was able to get a sneak peak at Legacy of the Forge before its release in a couple of weeks time, but I also managed to learn some interesting details about DLC 3, Mysteria Ecclesiae, which Warhorse reaffirms will be its final expansion for KCD2 before moving on to new, immersive RPG projects.

Some games are synonymous with certain consoles (or computers). Halo is an Xbox game through and through. Crash Bandicoot and Ellie from The Last of Us? PlayStation mascots each. Gordon Freeman is synonymous with PC gaming. You think Pikachu and a Nintendo console comes to mind. You get the picture. In recent years, however, those lines have blurred. You can now play Forza on PlayStation, Spyro on Xbox, and myriad formerly console exclusive titles on PC. The latest to make the switch to desktop is Gears of War Reloaded, which is the first game of the iconic Xbox series to be available on Steam.

Grounded 2 update 0.1.3 is out now, and we've taken it for a spin. Listed under the major bug fixes is the promise of "significant improvements to game stability" alongside the mention of a "30% performance gain" compared to the previous patch. Our fresh testing suggests this number is somewhat overestimated, but it will differ depending on the specs of your gaming PC.When we first tested the best Grounded 2 settings, we found that we couldn't push the game beyond the medium graphics preset without risking performance issues. Following patch 0.1.3, Grounded 2 does run better on our RTX 4070 testing rig, but we're not seeing the full estimated 30% improvement.

Its the feel of Gears of War that matters. Marcus Fenix controls like a bipedal tank with weak brakes. He lumbers through battlefields, the screen wobbling drunkenly when he breaks into a sprint, and slams into waist-high barriers when its time to take cover. His bullets thud into enemy bodies like an axe into thick wood, and the guns make a satisfying clacking noise when properly reloaded.
