The unfortunate reality is that the new GeForce RTX 3080’s and 3090’s probably won’t have enough stock this Holiday season for the average consumer. Though the RTX GeForce 2080 is the last generation, it still holds up well in today’s gaming environments. If you have the patience, probably wait for the 3080 to be in stock. If your one part away from making your dream stream come true, pull the trigger and pick up a 2080 for you or a loved one.
With the newest generation of games hitting the market this holiday season, you’ll want a high-end monitor to go along with them. Dell’s S3220DGF monitor hits all the marks, despite taking a large bite out of your wallet. This 32″ curved monitor delivers an expanded contrast ratio of 3000:1 while covering about 1.07 billion colors. If you’re looking for something a little cheaper, the BenQ 24″ should do just fine for the average gamer, and provides full HD Display and a 60Hz refresh rate for only $120 give or take.
Though the price tag is relatively affordable, the ROCCAT Burst Pro acts as a high-end gaming mouse, and not to mention looks beautiful. Ergonomically designed, with a flexible cable, and PTFE glides the Burst Pro is one of the smoothest rides out there. With a honeycomb pattern that reduces weight while creating a stunning lighting effect, ROCCAT’s new mouse is sure to make this holiday season one to remember. Also, note that ROCCAT has a unique software named ROCCAT Swarm, that can link all ROCCAT outputs (keyboard, mouse, headset) together, to create stunning light visualizations. If interested, check out the ELO 7.1 Wired Headset, and the Vulcan Pro Keyboard, to go along with the Burst Pro.
If you or your loved one is simply making too much noise while stuck at home in these precarious times, be sure to think about grabbing a HyperX Cloud Stinger Headset. The #1 selling PC gaming headset in the U.S., the Hyper X provides 50mm, directional drivers, for audio precision, and 90-degree rotating ear cups for comfort. Few headsets on the market can provide this level of sound quality for only $60. If however, you looking for something a little fancier, be sure to check out the ELO Wired Headset by ROCCAT. It’s on a whole other level.
The coup-de-grace of keyboards. These mean monster not only looks fantastic but also provides lightspeed reactions with their novel optical switches. The Hunstman Elite also comes with a wrist rest, providing exceptional comfort for long hours of gaming. It has a clean look, yet filled to the brim with optimization, including a media control section, that allows users to efficiently pause, play, rewind or fast-forward music files etc.
This latest installment in the Assassin’s Creed franchise has the player taking control of a Viking raider named Eivor, in the year 873, during the Viking invasion of Britain. Eivor becomes embroiled in the conflicts between the Templar Order, and the Brotherhood of Assassins, as he tries to find his own place in this chaotic, and beautiful new world.
Set between the events of Half-Life 1 and Half-Life 2, Half-Life: Alyx is Valve’s VR return to the series. The story pits the player against the vicious alien race known as the Combine, as humanity’s only hope for survival. Alyx has received amazing scores across the board, and though the content may be PG:13, it’s a great gift for a loved one during the Holidays. Please note that in order to play this amazing title, you will need a VR Headset. One of the most prolific sets on the market is the Oculus Quest 2, for $299.00 on Amazon.
