I’ve had a handful of desks in my time‚ but none of them quite compare to the Secretlab Magnus Pro sit-stand gaming desk. Representing the next generation of Secretlab’s Magnus line of gaming desks‚ the Magnus Pro turns everything up to 11‚ from the build quality to all the additional features that you didn’t know you needed until you’ve used them. As our Secretlab Magnus Pro review will explain‚ I don’t think I could ever go back to any other desk. Over the past few years‚ Secretlab has been leading the way in the gaming setup space‚ with several innovative chairs‚ desks‚ and numerous great accessories‚ but the Magnus Pro is its magnum opus. After months of hands-on testing‚ we’ve put it among the best gaming desks around. The best gaming PC setups have never looked this good or worked so seamlessly‚ though it's worth digging into whether it’s the right desk for you. The Secretlab Magnus Pro is no doubt aimed at gamers with its sleek design and a separate RGB lighting pack‚ and the ample cable management solutions being one of its main selling points. In my experience‚ the Magnus Pro achieves its goal of being the best gaming desk‚ but it’s much more than that. Its seamless sit-stand functionality and oodles of purchasable accessories make it perfect for just about anything you’d want a desk for‚ including gaming‚ working‚ and content creation.

Dragon's Dogma 2 has landed‚ with all the highs and lows you might expect from Hideaki Itsuno’s latest action-RPG. However‚ for all that the game has plenty of positives as an overall experience‚ Dragon's Dogma 2 PC performance has been a fairly terrible. The problem with Dragon's Dogma 2 is two fold. For a start‚ the game has generally been dogged by stability issues‚ with regular crashes dumping you out the game. Perhaps even more annoyingly‚ it has consistently terrible frame rate stability issues - something that particularly plague our experience when writing our Dragon's Dogma 2 review‚ with large amounts of stutter and frame rate dropping to very low levels‚ even on very high-end hardware.

In the online world of streaming gaming content‚ we face a lot of competition to be seen and heard. One way to stand out from the streaming crowd is to present yourself more clearly with a higher-quality video feed. Most PCs have a built-in web camera that tends to have a small lens‚ leading to fuzzy-looking images with flat tones and washed-out colors. In low light‚ your video feed can also be plagued with artifacts such as image noise and compression. I used a 2017-era iMac to test the Elgato Facecam for this review – it’s compatible with Windows 10 and macOS 11.0 onwards. The iMac’s built-in FaceTime HD webcam is something I’ve taken for granted for years‚ but compared to the results produced by the Elgato Facecam the iMac’s FaceTime footage looks soft and dull. The iMac’s webcam only streams at the smaller HD setting of 1280 x 720 whereas the resolution of the Facecam is a full HD size of 1920 x 1080. The Facecam is superior in other ways too‚ but is it one of the best webcams? Continue reading Elgato Facecam review MORE FROM PCGAMESN: Best graphics card‚ Best gaming PC‚ Best SSD for gaming

When it comes to microphones for streaming or podcasting‚ Joby may not be as well-known as Blue Yeti‚ but the Joby Wavo Pod is an ideal mic for amateur streamers looking to upgrade their setup. If you’re an audiophile looking for the highest audio quality‚ you’re better off looking at more advanced options from our best gaming microphone guide‚ such as the Elgato Wave:3. Marketed as a plug-and-play solution to improving your audio‚ the Joby Wavo Pod delivers out-of-the-box simplicity at a more affordable price than many of its rivals. Costing $99.95 (£89.95) the Wavo Pod may not provide the audio quality of an XLR cable device‚ it also doesn’t come at a premium. If you’re familiar with USB microphones then there are no surprises here. A robust device is paired with functionality and enough adjustability to provide clean and clear audio for your streams.

Some people simply love the sound of their own voice – they’re the ones you can’t avoid overhearing holding over-opinionated court in coffee shops across the country. But the reality is‚ when most folks have their own dulcet tones played back to them‚ they can’t stand what they hear. There are reasons for this‚ but one thing experts in the aural realm agree on is that poor-quality recordings don’t help. If you’re into live streaming and content creation‚ it makes sense to invest in one of the best streaming microphones to deliver enhanced audio free from all the fuss and background noise. Audio Technica presents just such a mic‚ in the pleasingly compact form of its all-new AT2040USB Hypercardioid Dynamic Podcast Microphone. Building on all the best elements of the company’s much-loved AT2040 XLR microphone‚ the addition of USB connectivity makes this mic more flexible and easier to use than ever for streamers‚ podcasters and chatty gamers alike. If you’re after a mic with high-quality audio‚ and you just want to plug it in and go‚ it could be the right choice for you.
