Issue 92 on sale now

atomic issue 92. On sale now

There's a new generation of graphics cards out in the market, and this month we take both ATI's 4-series and NVIDIA's 200-series for a serious spin around the block. Both of these two new families offer serious performance, but who offers the best in terms of multi-card setups and all important cost? We find out. If you're looking to upgrade your PC for the latest in graphical performance, you must read our head2head.

On top of that we've got a range of older 9-series cards from NVIDIA on review, a mess of out-of-the-box PC systems, and all the usual in gaming and performance peripherals.

Speaking of gaming, we take a look at a near-complete build of the latest Star Wars epic, The Force unleashed. It's a helluva game, too, so be sure to read our preview. But the real jewel in the gaming crown this month is our hands on look at the controversial Fallout 3. The series is already a classic, but this latest entry looks to be the best of the lot - the only question is if we'll see it on these shores. Read our full preview, plus news and views on why it's being effectively banned in Australia.

Plus much more!... more
