About Me

As the Senior Administrator of Pakistan’s largest PC community, I’ve dedicated years to educating and inspiring enthusiasts about computer hardware. Through consistent effort and passion, I’ve helped the community grow stronger than ever. Today, I continue that journey at Tech4Gamers, sharing my knowledge and expertise with an even wider audience of tech enthusiasts around the world.

Position at Tech4Gamers

As a Senior Hardware Reviewer at Tech4Gamers with over a decade of hands-on experience, I dive deep into benchmarking GPUs, CPU coolers, and motherboards, pushing hardware to its limits. Passionate about overclocking and fine-tuning performance.

Tech Journey

I began my tech journey in 2014 as the Senior Administrator of Pakistan’s largest gaming forum, fueled by a lifelong passion for computers, hardware testing, and continuous learning. My fascination with gaming started early on with my parents’ Intel Pentium 4 paired with a GeForce FX5600. When I turned 10, I moved to console gaming on the Xbox 360, but my love for PC hardware only grew stronger. A few years later, I built my first personal rig powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 – and since then, I’ve been upgrading and experimenting with components ever since. The passion for technology has never faded, and I believe this journey has no finish line.

Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 5070 Ultra W OC Review

The RTX 5070 brings little improvement over the RTX 4070 Super, making the generational upgrade hardly noticeable. It performs well at 1440p, but with only 12GB of VRAM, 4K ray-traced gaming isn't really an option. On the bright side, it has solid overclocking potential, offering a 10% performance boost just by adjusting a few settings. Overall, the card even struggles to justify its $550 price tag when AMD’s RX 9070 offers more raw power and memory.

ASRock Radeon RX 9070 Steel Legend Review: AMD’s Best Mid-Range Card Yet?

The ASRock Steel Legend RX 9070 is a solid mid-range GPU that outperforms Nvidia’s RTX 5070 in raster performance across all resolutions. AMD has also made big strides in ray tracing, an area where they’ve lagged behind in the past. With 16GB of video memory, smooth gameplay, and strong overclocking potential, it’s a great option for gamers who want high performance without breaking the bank. The only downside is the price—since the XT variant is just $50 more, it’s worth considering if you’re looking for even better performance.
