"What graphics card within my budget gives me the best bang for my buck?"
That simple question cuts to the core of what people hunting for a new graphics card look for: the most oomph they can afford. Sure, the technological leaps behind each new GPU can be interesting on their own, but most everyone just wants to crank up the detail settings on Battlefield and get right to playing.

Our quick-hit recommendations:
Best budget GPU: GeForce GTX 1650 Super [amazon.com]
Best 1080p GPU: GeForce GTX 1660 Super [newegg.com]
Best 1440p GPU: None, or GeForce RTX 3080 [nvidia.com]
Best 4K/60Hz GPU: GeForce RTX 3080 [nvidia.com]

Do you need to upgrade your power supply for Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card? That's a concern many people have, but it's actually two concerns clumped into one.
First, people fear they'll need a new PSU to handle the new 12-pin connector on Nvidia's own RTX 3080 Founders Edition. Second, the RTX 3080 pulls more wattage than even the prior-gen RTX 2080 Ti flagship. That's why Nvidia bumped the recommend power supply rating up to 750 watts to compensate, up from a 650W maximum last go-round.

A blood test that uses this biomarker to reveal the severity of brain tissue damage in a matter of hours was recently approved for clinical use, but the authors of a new study are now setting their sights on a point-of-care solution that can deliver results within 15 minutes.

A majority of IT administrators polled this summer said that the twice-a-year Windows 10 feature upgrades are not useful - or rarely so - a stunning stance considering how much effort Microsoft puts into building the updates.
About 58% of nearly 500 business professionals who are responsible for servicing Windows at their workplaces said that Windows 10 feature upgrades - two annually, one each in the spring and fall - were either not useful (24%) or rarely useful (34%).
[ Related: Windows 10 version 2004: Key enterprise features ]
Only 20% contended that the upgrades were useful in some fashion, while a slightly larger chunk - 22% - choose a noncommittal neutral as a response, claiming that the operating system's updates were neither useful nor not useful. (It might be best to consider this answer as undecided since in this binary world if something is not not useful, that must mean it is useful.)
