VALORANT vs. Counter-Strike GO 2014
VALORANT is a first-person virtual reality shooting game that is quite similar to Counter-Strike. However, the gameplay differs when it comes to fighting and the challenges posed within the game. VALORANT provides a more simplified system with no reliability in reloading the weapons, their magazines, etc., whereas in CS:GO, one has to buy a new gun when the current one runs out of bullets.
When compared to CS:GO, VALORANT has a newer and much-improved graphics engine, which makes the game run with minimum hardware requirements. Graphic settings can be adjusted or can be left at high for a better graphic experience. In CS:GO, the graphic settings cannot be changed when the game has already started. It also has a minimal hardware requirement, so one might not be able to play on low settings without lowering the FPs.
Asus 500Hz monitor; the world’s fastest monitor
ASUS unveiled the ROG Swift 500Hz monitor on May 24, 2022, and it currently stands as the world’s fastest monitor designed for gaming in 1080p. It was a result of collaboration with Nvidia to create this ultrafast screen optimized for low latency gaming, which is expected to be priced at not less than $500.
With the higher refresh rate, the screen is expected to update more frequently and this is anticipated to draw a niche audience mainly due to its price point. Gamers would also invariably notice the benefits from the increased refresh rate. It could be safely assumed that it will surely mark a difference in high-class competitive gaming, as every second can change the outcome of the game.

It is also advised to have advanced features like HDR and ray-tracing support to offer realistic visuals. It will smoothly run on the latest PS5 and Xbox series however PC users are suggested to have 8GB RAM, with a quad-core CPU, the latest graphics card, and at least 4GB video memory for better visual results.
PlayStation VR2: What We Know So Far
It’s time to get excited as Sony has revealed the details of its new release, the Playstation VR2, at the beginning of 2022. The features provided are quite high-end and are one of a kind. The VR2 promises to provide an out-of-this-world experience with its 4K HDR visuals and a refresh rate of between 90-120 Hz. It would also provide a 110-degree field of vision and a display with a resolution of 2000×2040 per eye.
The Sense VR2 controllers would act as the Dual Sense controllers as in the PS5, but the former will also come with a capacitive sensor to know when to operate it. The greatest feature is the one-cable setup, which negates all the hassles before a VR experience. It is expected that Sony’s new hardware will stand up to all its promises in providing an experience like never before.
PS VR2 titles that have been confirmed
Only a handful PS VR2 games have been confirmed so far.
Horizon Call of the Mountain, a VR spin-off of Horizon Zero Dawn and its sequel Horizon Forbidden West, is the most important.

The next major announcement is that horror classic Resident Evil Village will receive a patch to enable PS VR2 functionality for the whole campaign, but No Man’s Sky will also receive an enhanced VR version for the new hardware.
In terms of new games, The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners is getting a sequel for PS VR2, and developer Vankrupt Games has revealed that Pavlov: Shack, which is currently available on Oculus Quest 2, will be available on PS VR2, implying that the original headset “doesn’t have the fidelity” required by the title.
