How good does ShadowPlay recording look? How much pressure does it put on a system?

We've recorded a quick vid with the Baboon so you know exactly what to expect from this awesome new Nvidia tech! It's so easy to use just like the Elgato Game Capture because it records in the background as you are playing. So you can save your awesome gaming moments without recording absolutely everything :) And all at the push of a button… well two buttons actually – ALT+F10.

This card has metaphorically lit a fire under the GPU market.

The hot, hot, hot entry price of the R9 290X has NVIDIA fans second guessing upcoming purchases, and the comprehensive benchmarks that have been popping up all around the place have been testament to the cards performance.

In nearly all instances the card trumped NVIDIA's GTX780. And that is still with the current drivers in beta. We are very excited to see how games optimize themselves against the new AMD tech.

Battlefield 4 is the genre-defining action blockbuster made from moments that blur the line between game and glory. Fueled by the next-generation power and fidelity of Frostbite 3, Battlefield 4 provides a visceral, dramatic experience unlike any other.

Only in Battlefield can you demolish the buildings shielding your enemy. Only in Battlefield will you lead an assault from the back of a gun boat. Battlefield grants you the freedom to do more and be more while playing to your strengths and carving your own path to victory.

In addition to its hallmark multiplayer, Battlefield 4 features an intense, dramatic character-driven campaign that starts with the evacuation of American VIPs from Shanghai and follows your squad's struggle to find its way home.

Pre-order Battlefield 4 and receive a Battlefield 4 Dog Tag USB and Battlefield 4 A1 Poster free!

EA have launched a teaser site and video for the upcoming Battlefield 4. The site features a cool rain on window pane effect – you can wipe the window using your mouse to get a brief glimpse at the action on the other side of the window. Swing by and check out the teaser site here.

A brief video has also been released which seems to suggest that sea battle will be a much bigger part of the new game.

More will be revealed on March 27th. In the meantime, what improvements are on your wishlist?
