[QUOTE="Admin, post: 57971, member: 1"] As 2022 comes to a close we’re looking at the best pieces of gaming tech from the last year, from powerful new components and best-in-class peripherals to complete gaming systems that fit in the palm of your hand. Here are our nominees for the Best Gaming Hardware of 2022… Be sure to check back next week for our winner! [H2][B]SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless[/B][/H2] In a sea of wireless gaming headsets, the [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/steelseries-arctis-nova-pro-wireless']SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless[/URL] stands out. Instead of just working with one platform, you can hook up this headset to two consoles, PCs, or any combination of devices. Plus, it also has Bluetooth so you can listen to your mobile devices at the same time. Of course, this gaming headset offers more than just a myriad of ways to connect, its audio quality is also impeccable, and you can further improve how your games sound by tweaking the EQ through software. Perhaps most importantly, it remains the only headset (aside from its predecessor) to feature hot-swappable rechargeable batteries, allowing you to keep gaming effectively indefinitely without ever having to worry about plugging in to charge. [H2][B]Alienware AW3423DW QD-OLED[/B][/H2] In recent years, TVs and monitors have gone in two diverging directions in terms of the technology they want to focus most on. TVs mostly prioritized picture quality, with market leaders like the LG C2 offering the impeccable visuals of OLED. Monitors, on the other hand, often offered better refresh rates and response times, making them the favorites to be paired with high-end PCs. Alienware's [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/alienware-aw3423dw-review']AW3423DW[/URL] QD-OLED allows people to have their cake and eat it too. It’s one of the first monitors to utilize QD-OLED technology, which has a wider range of colors than OLED while also offering faster response times. In other words, the best of both worlds, and a glimpse of the best gaming monitors to come. [H2][B]Valve Steam Deck[/B][/H2] The [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/steam-deck-review']Steam Deck[/URL] might not be the first or only handheld gaming PC, but it brought the idea to the masses thanks to the backing of Valve and its very reasonable $399 entry price. Its implementation of the Linux-based SteamOS has not been without its headaches, but the ability to easily access most if not all of your Steam library in a handheld form factor – complete with mods, cloud saves, and all the other benefits of playing on PC – has been nothing short of revolutionary. [H2][B]Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090[/B][/H2] The [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4090-founders-edition-review']GeForce RTX 4090[/URL] blasted onto the scene as the absolute king of consumer graphics cards, with behemoth size, performance, and pricing.
