Multi-Monitor Setups: Five Ways to Build One

Watch enough movies and you might start to believe that a multi-monitor setup is something exotic—the domain of genius hackers, paranoid supervillains, and hyper-vigilant day-traders. The truth is that people from all walks of life use multi-monitor setups. It's one of the most practical upgrades you can make to a PC, and it's easy to set up and use. Gamers keep digital worlds front and center while Discord, a map, and a guide sit one glance away. Streamers read chat live and monitor their output without breaking immersion. Colorists keep footage in view while every scope and panel lives on...

OpenClaw Brings Native App Installation to macOS, Simplifies Local AI Setup on Windows

OpenClaw has inspired hundreds of thousands of developers to run agents on their own hardware. But getting started hasn't always been straightforward—even technically experienced users spend more than 30 minutes wrestling with setup before achieving a working agent. In June, OpenClaw launched a Windows App installer to simplify onboarding for users avoiding the terminal. Today, the company is bringing that native app experience to macOS, and making Windows setup even simpler for machines with NVIDIA RTX GPUs. .abn-galeria .uk-slidenav, .abn-galeria .uk-slidenav:hover, ...

Onimusha: Way of the Sword GPU Benchmarks — RTX 50 Series at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K

Onimusha: Way of the Sword GPU Benchmarks — RTX 50 Series at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K

Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword launched on September 4, the first mainline entry in the series after a long silence, and it reached Steam's top new releases chart in its launch week. It also sets a hard floor on the PC side: Windows 11 as the minimum OS, an SSD install, and a 16GB memory baseline — machines still on Windows 10 will not run it at all. We benchmarked five GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards in-house — the RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070, RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 5060 — at 1080p, 1440p and 4K, with DLSS 4.5 off and on, across two settings profiles and 60 logged configurations.

Major Updates for Apple’s Software Platforms Now Available

With Visual Intelligence, users on iPhone, iPad, or Mac can now ask Siri about what they're looking at on the screen, and Vision Pro users can search, ask questions, and take action simply by looking at their surroundings and asking Siri. The feature also enables adding a custom pass to Wallet. In Safari, Apple Intelligence powers new tools that automatically organize a user's tabs into topics; notify them of website changes, like product restocks or price drops; and enable the creation of custom extensions based on a description. Call Context surfaces relevant information, like a...

Perplexity Portable Computer Windows NVIDIA RTX

As local models become more capable, AI agents can handle more work directly on a PC while keeping sensitive information on the device. Portable Computer Portable Computer is a local version of the agent Perplexity Computer that plans and carries out multistep tasks. Accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs, it uses local models to analyze data, bring together information across files, and handle recurring work. Sensitive information stays on device, and locally completed work doesn't consume Perplexity Computer credits. Users can also orchestrate work to cloud models for more advanced research and...

NVIDIA PAIR: Distributed AI Inference for Home Networks

AI agents are learning to work together more effectively. A lead agent can break complex tasks into smaller jobs and assign them to specialized subagents, with users increasingly running multiple agent sessions simultaneously. Multi-agent workflows are becoming more common, but this approach can bottleneck the system as many requests flood the GPU at once. NVIDIA Personal AI Router (PAIR) addresses this problem by leveraging local hardware to distribute inference requests across available systems on a home network. PAIR routes each independent request to an available machine and works with...
