AMD Radeon RX 9050 Falls 20-30% Behind The RTX 5050, A Card Already Slammed For Poor Value

An AMD Radeon RX 9050 graphics card is shown on the left versus an MSI RTX 5050 graphics card on the right, with the text 'RX 9050' and 'RTX 5050' prominently displayed.

The new RDNA 4 GPU came out slower than expected, and it's not even able to compete with the entry-level NVIDIA RTX 50 GPU. Early AMD RX 9050 Benchmarks Reveal Significantly Slower Performance Versus RTX 5050 Across Various Applications The newest AMD RDNA 4 GPU has been tested by the Japanese outlet Hermita, and the results easily favor the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050.

Apex Legends x Cyberpunk 2077 goes live next week

More than half a decade on from the game’s release, Cyberpunk 2077 remains as popular as ever, thanks in part to a number of surprise updates alongside the huge success of Netflix’s Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Having already crossed over with other IPs, Cyberpunk 2077 is now set to join the world of Apex Legends.

Making the surprise announcement, EA / Respawn officially unveiled their Apex Legends x Cyberpunk Event. Going live on the 14th of July (and running until the 4th of August), this crossover features far more than just some collab skins, with the E-District being transformed into Night City. The event also adds in two new β€˜cyberware mods’:

  • Sandevistan (allowing you to dash in any direction multiple times)
  • Blackwater breach (giving you teleport / EMP abilities)

These all tie into the mode’s cyberware capacity mechanic, in which picking up too many upgrades can cause you to β€œgo full Cyberpsycho and become a high-speed melee monster.”

Of course, this event also brings with it a ton of cosmetics – some paid and others free-to-earn. Alongside various weapon skins, 8 different cosmetic packs are available for different Legends:

  • Axle (Lucy)
  • Sparrow (David)
  • Lifeline (V)
  • Crypto (V)
  • Rampart (Rebecca)
  • Loba (Panam)
  • Ash (Lizzy Wizzy)
  • Gibraltar (Royce)

Unlike the event itself, these cosmetics will be available to purchase up until the 18th of August. While some of these skins are seemingly better than others, Apex Legends tends to have its crossovers embrace more of a cosplay-style of look, as opposed to bringing in the character themselves.

Either way, this crossover looks to have quite a bit of work put into it. Hopefully the new LTM is fun to play.

Respawn Will Start Permanently Banning Cheaters in Apex Legends who use Strikepacks, Cronus, or XIM Devices

EA and Respawn are trying to bring the hammer down hard on cheaters in Apex Legends by making some changes in how it'll respond to players caught using devices like Strikepacks, Cronus, and XIM. If you are caught using any of those devices or devices like them, you will be permanently banned from Apex Legends. Moreover, Respawn has said that it "will not entertain appeals for leniency on accounts confirmed cheating." So if Respawn confirms that you've been cheating, you will have no recourse for getting back into the game, and just creating a new account will simply just restart […]
