Sarfraz Khan
Sarfraz Khan tracks how core PC hardware and graphics technologies affect everyday gaming, with a particular focus on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs, game performance, and the growing parity between Windows and Linux. He writes for Wccftech, where he covers graphics drivers, APIs, latency technologies, and platform-level changes that shape how games run rather than just how they are marketed.
PC graphics, drivers, and latency features
Khan’s staple coverage is the intersection of GPUs, drivers, and real-world game performance. He reports on technologies such as NVIDIA Reflex and how they are implemented across different hardware platforms, including open‑source layers that bring Reflex‑style latency reductions to AMD and Intel GPUs on Linux. His work explains what these features do, how they are delivered (for example through Vulkan layers or driver updates), and how much they narrow performance or latency gaps between platforms like Windows and Linux.
Across his recent headlines, he returns to stories where driver updates, new graphics settings, or feature rollouts materially change the experience for competitive and enthusiast gamers. He regularly breaks down what a new driver or feature unlocks in supported games and which GPU generations see the biggest benefit. The emphasis is on practical impact—input lag, frame pacing, stability—rather than on synthetic benchmark scores alone.
Linux gaming and cross‑platform parity
A defining thread in Khan’s work is Linux as a first‑class gaming platform. He covers advances such as open‑source Vulkan layers and Proton/compatibility tooling that enable Windows‑centric technologies and titles to run on Linux with competitive latency and performance. His pieces highlight when a new technology closes gaps with Windows, documenting how driver work, community projects, and vendor support combine to make Linux more viable for mainstream and competitive gaming.
He pays attention to cross‑platform implications: whether a feature is Windows‑only at launch, when and how it reaches Linux, and what changes when it does. This often includes explaining the technical path—API support, kernel or driver dependencies, and whether support comes from GPU vendors, game developers, or the open‑source community. That focus makes his coverage useful for anyone watching the evolution of cross‑platform support rather than treating Linux gaming as a niche side topic.
Game performance, ports, and optimisations
Beyond pure driver and API coverage, Khan writes on how major titles are optimised across PC hardware. His headlines track new releases, ports, and patches that significantly alter performance profiles on different GPUs and CPUs. He gives particular attention to competitive or visually demanding games where driver‑level features like Reflex‑style latency reduction, upscalers, or new graphics options can change the recommended hardware baseline.
In those pieces, he typically points out which combinations of GPU, API, and settings deliver the best trade‑off between visual quality and responsiveness. He notes when a patch or driver update resolves prior stuttering, CPU bottlenecks, or shader compilation issues and when performance gaps between vendors narrow or widen. The coverage is framed for readers who tune settings and follow patch notes rather than those who only care about headline frame‑rate numbers.
Technical, feature‑driven reporting style
Khan’s writing stays close to the technical details that matter to PC gamers. He uses specific feature names (such as Reflex, Vulkan, and other vendor technologies) and explains them in the context of current hardware generations from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. His articles tend to be news‑led and feature‑driven: they start from a concrete change—like a new driver branch, an API update, or an open‑source layer—and then walk through what that means in practice for latency, performance, and platform choice.
He consistently links hardware, software, and user experience, which distinguishes his coverage from generic gaming news or broad tech commentary. Instead of treating GPUs or operating systems in isolation, he writes about how they interact through drivers, APIs, and game updates to shape what players see and feel on screen.

Alex Co
Alex Co is a video game technology reporter at MP1st who specializes in live-service systems and online titles, with patch coverage as the core of his work. He tracks game updates in real time, documenting patch numbers, download sizes, platform differences, full or near-full patch notes, and the changes that affect everyday play. He also reports on server status, outages, and maintenance windows so players know if issues are local or on the developer’s end. His beat extends to console exclusives, PC ports, subscription services, and cross-platform features, with an emphasis on implementation details and player impact. He focuses heavily on multiplayer shooters and competitive balance, and also covers live-service calendars, seasonal events, and multiplayer stability, always prioritizing precise, timely, and actionable information for active players.
Alex Perry
Alex Perry stands out for turning consumer technology news into practical help for people using the hardware they already own. They cover consumer technology for the masthead, focusing on software support changes, platform policies, device updates, apps, streaming platforms, and online services. Their reporting shows what changes on screen, which settings matter, what stops working, and what workarounds remain. Perry writes in a direct, utility-first style and often treats news as a service problem to solve. They are especially attentive to aging devices, including older Kindles, and explain cutoff dates, affected models, offline use, sideloading, and account changes in plain language. Their work appears in quick news reactions, guides, and longer explainers, always aimed at readers who want clear, step-by-step answers.
Ali Hashmi
Ali Hashmi covers technology through the lens of video games, using individual titles to show how interactive systems feel and function for players. He writes for Prima Games. His work sits where game design, visual presentation, and user experience meet, with a focus on what it is like to inhabit the worlds that new releases create. He treats game criticism as a way into technology, breaking down how it appears in games instead of doing standalone hardware reviews. He looks at how technical choices support pacing, control, and readability on screen, weighing mechanics, performance, and audiovisual style together. In his “REPLACED” review, framed as “Tears in the Rain,” he shows how animation, lighting, and input responsiveness shape mood, storytelling, and immersion. Across his work, his through-line is the player’s moment-to-moment experience with the technology in front of them.
Andrew Agress
Andrew Agress stands out for covering technology through the lens of video games, with a focus on how new titles actually play rather than how they are pitched. He writes for The Outerhaven and works in a preview-driven format that foregrounds direct time with a game. His coverage of The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales shows his beat: hands-on previews of upcoming titles, with attention to combat, exploration, storytelling, pacing, controls, and presentation. He uses clear genre touchstones and straightforward comparisons, calling the game “Chrono Trigger meets classic Zelda” to place it in context. His reporting stays grounded in player experience and explains what a game feels like moment to moment, not just what features it lists.
