Jessica Ennis-Hill shares top tips on how to fit in exercise around the workdayPro Picks is a weekly column where AP Pro Football Writer Rob Maaddi shares his picks for upcoming games. For all previous Pro Picks, head here . Week 13 features only three games between two teams with winning records. All three matchups are on Sunday. Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry face off when the streaking Philadelphia Eagles (9-2) take on the Baltimore Ravens (8-4) in a potential Super Bowl preview. Barkley leads the NFL with 1,392 yards rushing and Henry is next at 1,325. The Los Angeles Chargers (7-4) visit the Atlanta Falcons (6-5) in a matchup between first-year coaches who’ve turned their teams around. Two surprise teams meet when the Minnesota Vikings (9-2) host the Arizona Cardinals (6-5). It’s a full schedule with no byes, beginning with three games on Thanksgiving and another on Black Friday. Five road teams are favorites, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. Pro Picks aims for another winning week. Line: Cowboys minus 3 1/2 The Giants are a total mess. General manager Joe Schoen and coach Brian Daboll are barely hanging onto their jobs. Drew Lock could become the third starting QB in three games. Standout rookie receiver Malik Nabers called his team “soft” after they played like a group that’s quit last week. The Cowboys aren’t much better, though they fought hard in an upset win at Washington. Cooper Rush had his best game filling in for Dak Prescott. A soft schedule has Dallas thinking the playoffs aren’t out of reach. The Cowboys can’t overlook New York. They’re 0-6 in their past six home games but have won seven straight matchups vs. the Giants. BEST BET: COWBOYS: 26-17 Line: Rams minus 2 1/2 The Saints are 2-0 under interim coach Darren Rizzi and are coming off a bye with a chance to keep their playoff hopes alive. An offense that was unstoppable in the first two games this season is getting back on track thanks to an improved run game and back-to-back sharp outings from Derek Carr. Alvin Kamara should be excited to get the ball against the Rams, who just gave up 255 yards rushing to Saquon Barkley. Los Angeles needs to protect Matthew Stafford better and give him time to get the ball to Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. UPSET SPECIAL: SAINTS: 24-23 Line: Lions minus 9 1/2 The Lions have lost seven straight games on Thanksgiving, including three times to the Bears. It would be a major upset if that happens again. Detroit has won nine straight games since losing to Tampa Bay in Week 2. The Lions are not only winning but dominating opponents with six victories by a double-digit margin during their streak. Jared Goff leads a prolific offense while the defense hasn’t allowed a touchdown the past two games. The Bears are trying to snap a five-game losing streak. Caleb Williams hasn’t thrown a pick in 193 passes. Detroit is 15-3 against the spread in its past 18 division games and 8-1 ATS in the past nine games overall this season. LIONS: 31-19 Line: Packers minus 3 1/2 Tua Tagovailoa suffered a season-ending concussion the previous time the Dolphins faced Green Bay on Christmas Day in 2022. He has 11 TDs and only one interception in the five games since returning from his latest concussion and has led Miami to three straight wins. The Packers face a tough test in the middle of a stretch where they play three games in a 12-day span with a showdown against the Lions looming next Thursday. Jordan Love has bounced back from two rough games to play two solid ones. He’ll face a strong challenge against Miami’s top-10 defense. PACKERS: 23-21 Line: Chiefs minus 13 The two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs keep finding ways to win barely. They’ve won 12 straight games decided by seven points or fewer, the longest streak in NFL history, and have won five games decided on the final play this season. Patrick Mahomes is the difference-maker in many of the close ones. Kansas City could use a rout. The struggling Raiders provide an opportunity for a lopsided victory. Las Vegas has lost seven straight and lost quarterback Gardner Minshew last week. The team will turn to Aidan O’Connell back off injured reserve to start on Black Friday. The Chiefs are due for an easy one, but they’re 0-5 ATS in the past five games. CHIEFS: 27-16 Line: Chargers minus 2 The Chargers hit the road on a short week after losing the “Harbowl” at home to the Ravens. Their offense could be without running back J.K. Dobbins and the defense has allowed 57 points in the past two games after giving up just 13.6 per game the previous five. Meanwhile, the rested Falcons are coming off a bye and eager to snap a two-game losing streak to maintain their hold on first place in the NFC South. FALCONS: 23-22 Line: Bengals minus 3 The AFC North-leading Steelers are road underdogs following a road loss at Cleveland. Russell Wilson has been hitting his deep throws but needs better protection. A usually stingy defense that couldn’t make stops against Jameis Winston in the snow now has to contain Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The underachieving Bengals need to stack wins to have any shot at climbing back into the playoff race. Cincinnati is 1-3 ATS as a home favorite this season. BENGALS: 24-23 Line: Vikings minus 3 1/2 Stout defense and solid play by QB Sam Darnold has helped Minnesota become the surprise team in the NFL this season. Only the Lions and Chiefs have a better record. The Cardinals are in a four-way battle in the NFC West. A disappointing offensive performance led to their four-game winning streak being snapped. It won’t be easy for Kyler Murray and Co. to score against the Vikings. VIKINGS: 23-17 Line: Colts minus 2 1/2 It’s no longer Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning in this rivalry. Anthony Richardson and Drake Maye go head-to-head in a matchup between young QBs taken in the top five of the draft over the past two seasons. The Colts can’t get their offense and defense to play well in the same game. That could turn around against the lowly Patriots. COLTS: 20-16 Line: Seahawks minus 2 Geno Smith faces the team that drafted him after turning his career around on his fourth stop and going to the Pro Bowl the past two seasons. The Seahawks are fighting for the playoffs while the Jets have fallen apart. Their coach and GM already have been fired. Aaron Rodgers’ future is uncertain. Yet, the team still has plenty of talent. SEAHAWKS: 20-17 Line: Commanders minus 6 Jayden Daniels and the Commanders have hit a detour on their road to the playoffs, losing three straight games. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury’s offense has stalled during Washington’s recent skid. The Titans are coming off a big upset in Houston and Will Levis has asserted himself since returning from an injury a month ago. Tennessee has the No. 2 defense in the league so it’ll be tough for Daniels and the Commanders to get back on track in this one. COMMANDERS: 24-17 Line: Texans minus 4 1/2 C.J. Stroud and the Texans are having some issues this season. Not even close to Jacksonville’s troubles, though. The Jaguars could have Trevor Lawrence back after he missed two games. That won’t be enough. Houston has won 11 of the past 13 games vs. Jacksonville. The Texans are 2-6 ATS in their past eight games vs. AFC opponents. The Jaguars are 4-1 ATS in their past five games. TEXANS: 24-20 Line: Buccaneers minus 6 Panthers coach Dave Canales has the team playing better and Bryce Young is showing some of the potential that made him a No. 1 overall pick. Canales’ familiarity with Baker Mayfield and Tampa Bay’s offense should help Carolina’s defense. The Buccaneers can’t afford a letdown as they try to make a push to get back in the playoff race. They’re getting key players healthy, their three-headed rushing attack has added balance to the offense and the defense needs to build off a solid performance last week. BUCCANEERS: 24-20 Line: Ravens minus 3 Both teams are coming off impressive wins in the same stadium in Los Angeles one night apart. The Ravens had shorter rest following the Monday night win. Barkley has been a sensational addition for the Eagles. Henry has made a major impact in Baltimore. Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson go head-to-head for the first time. The Ravens have won two in a row in the series. Philadelphia has the better defense and that could be the difference. EAGLES: 26-23 Line: Bills minus 7 The inconsistent 49ers need Brock Purdy, Trent Williams and Nick Bosa back from injuries. The defending NFC champions have lost two in a row, but they’re only one game back in their division. The rested Bills have won six in a row and are coming off a bye. Josh Allen in the MVP favorite and Buffalo can clinch another division title this weekend. BILLS: 26-23 Line: Broncos minus 5 1/2 Maybe Jameis Winston gets to play in the snow again. Winston has reinvigorated the Browns, though too late for it to matter this season. Rookie QB Bo Nix has helped turn the Broncos into a playoff contender with plenty of help from receiver Courtland Sutton and a strong defense. BRONCOS: 23-19 Last week: Straight up: 9-4. Against spread: 8-5. Overall: Straight up: 121-68. Against spread: 97-80-2. Prime-time: Straight up: 28-12. Against spread: 21-18-1. Best Bet: Straight up: 8-4. Against spread: 7-5. Upset Special: Straight up: 7-5. Against spread: 7-5. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Hitting the road for its second true away game of the season, No. 17 North Carolina picked up its first win in Coral Gables since 2015, toppling Miami 69-60 on its home court from the Watsco Center on Sunday afternoon. The Tar Heels open ACC action on the road with a win for the second straight season. Taking excellent care of the ball with a season low four turnovers, North Carolina (13-2, 1-1 ACC) handed Miami (11-2, 1-1 ACC) its second loss of the season off of an efficient day in the paint. The duo of Maria Gakdeng and Alyssa Ustby packed it in the paint with the two each recording a double-double. Gakdeng tied her season-high with 21 points and added a season-best 12 rebounds for her second double-double of the year. With her fourth on the season, Ustby tallied 19 points and 13 rebounds as she moved into No. 22 overall in scoring at UNC. Holding Miami to its fewest points this season, UNC's defense continues to make its opponents pay as the Tar Heels have now held 10 of its 15 opponents to their lowest point total this year. With a season-high and team best five assists, Indya Nivar reached double-figures for the sixth time this season as Carolina dished out 18 assists off 27 made field goals. Defense jumped on the Hurricanes early, forcing Miami into a multi-minute drought without a field goal for over half the first quarter. Gakdeng proved to be a problem in the paint with her most points in a quarter this season at nine, as Carolina ran out to a 21-14 lead over Miami through one. Pouring it on in the paint, the Tar Heels took advantage of the Hurricanes on the inside with 24 points in the first two quarters to extend its advantage. Despite Carolina surrendering the ball only three times in the opening half, Miami ended the second on a 7-0 run for UNC to take a 39-29 lead into the break. The trio of Gakdeng, Nivar and Ustby kept the Tar Heels in motion, working their way through the Hurricanes to dominate on the inside. The Hurricanes cut into UNC's advantage within seven, yet Carolina fired back to jump back ahead by double-digits at 62-47 with 10 minutes remaining. Both teams went cold from the floor in the opening minutes of the final quarter, yet Carolina limited Miami's chances at a potential comeback. Slowing down the game, UNC came away with the 69-60 victory and its first ACC win of the season. The Tar Heels head back to Chapel Hill, welcoming a No. 3 Notre Dame squad to Carmichael Arena next Sunday (Jan. 5).

ATLANTA (AP) — Ethan Vasko threw three touchdown passes and ran for a fourth as Coastal Carolina became bowl eligible by beating Georgia State 48-27 for its sixth win of the season in the regular season finale on Saturday. The Chanticleers evened their season record at 6-6 with the win and finished 3-5 in the Sun Belt East. The loss leaves Georgia State (3-9) with just one win in eight conference games. Vasko threw 10 yards to Senika McKie for the game's first score midway through the first quarter, but the Panthers got a Liam Rickman 28-yard field goal and a 19-yard touchdown run by Freddie Brock to take a 10-7 second-quarter lead. Vasko threw his second TD pass, this one a five-yard strike to Zach Courtney to take the lead and Kade Hensley booted a 43-yard field goal as time expired to put Coastal Carolina up 17-10 at halftime. Christian Washington ran 18-yards for a touchdown to open up a 24-10 lead four minutes into the third quarter. Vasko hit McKie for their second touchdown, this one from 31-yards out and Vasko ran 10 yards for a fourth-quarter touchdown to make it 38-10 with under 10 minutes to play. Vasko was 13 of 17 passing for 200 yards and carried 13 times for another 68. Washington carried 20 times for 124 yards. McKie caught five passes for 81 yards Georgia State amassed 428 yards of offense, but the Panthers turned the ball over six times. Christian Veilleux completed 15 of 26 passes for 205 yards but was picked off four times and fumbled. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here . AP college football: https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll and https://apnews.com/hub/college-footballWith the artificial intelligence (AI) wave boosting Nvidia’s performance, many investors are wondering whether it’s time to shift focus to other promising tech stocks like Alphabet. Let’s explore the dynamics between these two tech giants. Nvidia’s Success Story Over the past two years, Nvidia has experienced skyrocketing growth, with annual sales hitting $113.3 billion by late 2024. This impressive performance is largely due to its pivotal role in powering AI innovations, such as the popular ChatGPT platform. Despite a historically high valuation, Nvidia’s stock remains cheaper than its summer 2023 peak. While the company’s profitability makes it a valuable asset, some believe future gains may already be priced into the stock. Alphabet: A Strong Contender Alphabet, Google’s parent company, reported $340 billion in revenue over the past year, generating robust free cash flows even amid challenges in the online advertising sector. The company’s investment in data centers signifies its commitment to future growth. At 26 times earnings, Alphabet’s stock appears more accessible compared to Nvidia, offering potential value as the advertising market rebounds. So, should you consider investing in Alphabet instead? The Investment Verdict While Nvidia’s dominance in AI hardware is undeniable, Alphabet presents a compelling alternative with a relatively undervalued stock and strong potential in AI software. As Nvidia faces increasing competition, diversifying with Alphabet could be wise. For long-term growth and stability, Alphabet stands out as a stock worth adding to your portfolio. Is It Time to Bet on Alphabet Over Nvidia? The tech world is constantly evolving, and with it, the investment landscape. As Nvidia continues to enjoy its position at the forefront of artificial intelligence (AI) innovation, there’s a growing interest among investors to explore alternative tech stocks like Alphabet, Google’s parent company. Pros and Cons of Investing in Nvidia Nvidia’s explosive growth has been fueled by its leading role in AI technologies and platforms such as ChatGPT. One of the major advantages of investing in Nvidia is its strong profitability and market leadership in AI hardware. However, the primary concern for potential investors is the high valuation of its stock, which is considerably lower than its peak in the summer of 2023, but still substantial. Additionally, as the AI market becomes more saturated, Nvidia could face increased competition, potentially impacting its future growth prospects. Alphabet’s Growth and Potential Alphabet, by contrast, provides a robust investment alternative, especially given its commitment to AI software and cloud-based innovations. Over the past year, Alphabet generated $340 billion in revenue, demonstrating strong cash flows despite challenges in the advertising industry. Its ongoing investment in data centers underscores its strategy to enhance long-term growth potential. With Alphabet’s stock valued at 26 times earnings, it’s more accessible than Nvidia’s, with potential upside as advertising revenues rebound. Comparing Innovations and Market Trends When comparing these two tech titans, it’s crucial to consider their different areas of focus and innovation. Nvidia is heavily centered on AI hardware development, whereas Alphabet is expanding its software and cloud service capabilities. The trend towards AI integration across different sectors continues to grow, suggesting that both companies are positioned to benefit, albeit in different ways. Investment Strategies: Diversification and Risk Management For investors considering diversification, integrating Alphabet into a portfolio predominantly featuring Nvidia stock could be a smart strategy. Alphabet’s anticipated recovery in the advertising sector and its undervalued stock position make it an attractive option for those seeking growth with lower risk. Insights and Market Predictions As AI continues to revolutionize industries around the globe, Nvidia and Alphabet remain key players. With Nvidia’s expertise in hardware and Alphabet’s strengths in software, both companies are poised to lead as AI adoption expands. Market analysts predict that companies offering balanced portfolios in both AI hardware and software will likely see steady growth. Security and Stability in the Tech Market Investing in tech stocks always entails some level of risk. However, Nvidia’s established security protocols in AI development and Alphabet’s sustained efforts in data protection provide a layer of security for investors. Both companies are committed to maintaining user privacy and data security, which is increasingly important in today’s digital age. Conclusion: Nvidia vs. Alphabet Ultimately, deciding whether to invest in Nvidia or Alphabet will depend on individual risk tolerance, investment horizon, and belief in either company’s future growth potential. With Nvidia leading in AI hardware and Alphabet showing promise in AI software, diversifying investments across these tech giants could serve as a prudent approach to harness the benefits of the burgeoning AI era.

Romeo Lavia 's withdrawal at half time of Chelsea 's win against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon was precautionary, boss Enzo Maresca revealed. Tottenham had taken a 2-0 lead after just 11 minutes, but a resurgent second-half display ensured that the Blues took all three points back to Stamford Bridge, with the visitors ultimately winning 4-3 . The result means that Chelsea are second in the Premier League after 15 matches, just four points fewer than leaders Liverpool . However, midfielder Lavia did not appear in the second half, but Maresca has insisted that the Belgian's issue was only minor, telling reporters: "Unfortunately he felt something in his hamstring in the last minutes of the first-half. Now, he's walking without any pain. It was a small thing. "Since we started, I don't like to lose players for five, six, seven games in a row. Even if Romeo was playing fantastic, we tried to change because he had a problem." Lavia's substitution was ultimately not costly, with Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandes taking control in the second 45 minutes, the latter of whom scored Chelsea's third of the match. The duo have faced significant criticism since their arrival at Stamford Bridge, but Fernandez has already scored three goals and produced eight assists for the Blues this season, while Caicedo has been praised for his excellent performances with and without the ball. Maresca has not chosen the same double pivot in midfield in any of his side's last six games, but his team still managed to win five times. The Chelsea boss has previously noted the improvement's from Fernandez in terms of his attacking output, but has also highlighted his improved understanding of his midfield role, saying: "[Fernandez] is improving a lot especially in terms of understanding the game and the position. "This is what we need from the attacking players. He has many things he can do better but not only him, all of the players." Maresca appears to have succeeded where Thomas Tuchel , Graham Potter , Mauricio Pochettino and Frank Lampard failed, with the Italian maximising the immense talent at his disposal. Though Liverpool have a game in hand on Chelsea, it is difficult to count the Blues out of the title race, especially after both Arsenal and Manchester City dropped points against Fulham and Crystal Palace respectively. Chelsea are also the league's top goalscorers having found the back of the net 35 times this campaign, and with their schedule relatively more straightforward than the likes of Arsenal , who have to compete in the Champions League as opposed to the Conference League. One area of concern for Maresca could be his side's defensive showings, as while their record of 18 conceded is the joint third best in the top flight, they have kept just three clean sheets in the Premier League this term. Regardless, Chelsea are certainly well positioned to capitalise should Liverpool drop more points, and there is no reason to think the Blues cannot have a successful 2024-25 season.AP Trending SummaryBrief at 5:34 p.m. ESTTrying to fit in routines around work can be tricky, especially for women. New research from Vitality’s ‘Active women, healthy lives’ report finds that eight in 10 women under 50 say their demanding work schedules are holding them back from being active. As a result, a quarter of women exercise less than once a week (25%), and over half of women exercise less than they used to (52%). Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill, in partnership with Vitality, is launching Walk Out to Work Out, a new initiative encouraging women to reclaim time during their busy working days to stay active. Jessica Ennis-Hill has shared a few tips to help women fit in exercise around their working day (Image: Vitality) Additionally, she has shared some top tips on how to fit some exercise in during the working day. The full ‘Active women, healthy lives’ report can be found on the website here . Jessica shared: "As a busy mum and business owner, I know how challenging it can be to fit in long workouts. That’s why I swear by short bursts of activity—what I call "exercise snacks." "Whether it’s a 5-minute stretch between meetings or a quick walk to clear your mind, these small moments can really add up and keep you feeling active without disrupting your day. Jessica explained: "When I need to take calls or brainstorm ideas, I often head out for a walk with my dog while doing it – ticking off two things I have to do. I find it not only helps me stay active but also boosts my creativity and focus. "Turn phone calls or virtual meetings into walking meetings where possible. It’s a simple way to add movement while staying productive."

"I use part of it for physical activity, whether it’s a quick workout, a jog, or a calming walk. "If you feel like your lunch break has disappeared into your workday, speak to your employer about how you can reclaim that time — it’s yours to use for your well-being. I suggest putting it in the diary as a meeting – this will ring-fence the time for you." Jessica explained: "I have worked with a lot of different sponsors and their teams and I’ve seen the difference it makes when workplaces support physical activity. "If you’re struggling to stay active, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts with your employer. Suggest ideas like walking meetings, group exercise activities, or even flexible working hours to make staying active more achievable. "Remember, these changes benefit everyone, from employees to the company itself. Recommended reading: Jessica said: "I rely on technology to keep me on track. Fitness trackers or simple alarms can remind you to stand, stretch, or take a short walk every hour. "Even small movements like this can make a huge difference to your energy levels and focus throughout the day."

Black Friday is normally the perfect time to grab yourself a new graphics card. There are, after all, Black Friday graphics card deals out there for practically every GPU of the current generation. And some of them are mighty tempting, especially if you've been using the same one for a good few years. For example, Nvidia's GeForce GTX 10-series spawned the amazing GTX 1080 Ti and while it's still pretty potent today, it lacks all the fancy ray tracing hardware and DLSS technology in the latest RTX models. However, we're not far off seeing a new generation of GPUs from AMD, Intel, and Nvidia. The first and last are expected to showcase RDNA 4 and Blackwell at CES in January, and it's rumored that Intel will try to get the jump on them with a Battlemage launch in December. So, knowing that, should you hold fire on whizzing out your wallet or are there still GPUs in the Black Friday sales that are worth considering? Well, on that allow me to assist. Quick Links AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT - $210 at Amazon AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX - $820 at Newegg Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 - $285 at Amazon Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 - $470 at Newegg RX 6650 XT Sapphire RX 6650 XT | 8 GB GDDR6 | 2,048 shaders | 2,635 MHz boost | $299.99 $209.99 at Amazon (save $90) With the RX 6600 XT stock starting to dwindle, the faster RX 6650 XT is taking its place as one of the best budget GPUs around. It's an 8 GB GPU with the same core specs as the RX 6600 XT but has a slightly higher clock speed boost. We like the newer RX 7600 more, but it also costs a little more. RX 6650 XT price check: Best Buy $219.99 | Newegg $219.99 Yes, this is an RDNA 2 graphics card, first launched back in 2022. So why on Earth should you consider buying something that old when AMD is apparently going to announce its RDNA 4 lineup in around two months ? Two reasons: (1) GPU vendors tend to announce and then release their higher-end models first, with the more budget-friendly offerings coming much later; (2) the RX 6650 XT is a pokey little GPU for very little money. Make no mistake, this Radeon is very much a budget 1080p graphics card but if you've been chugging along with something like a Radeon RX 480 or a GeForce GTX 1060 , it'll blow them out of the water. Not that you should ever have your gaming PC in water, of course. Think of it as a slightly slower RX 7600 but a good $40 cheaper, then you'll be right as rain. The newer RDNA 3 card does have better ray tracing performance but you're not going to be using that with a budget GPU, nor are you going to miss out on the dual-issue FP32 shaders. AMD is unlikely to announce a really cheap RDNA 4 GPU at CES so if you are looking for a very cost-effective upgrade for your gaming PC, the RX 6650 XT is the ideal choice. RX 7900 XTX ASRock RX 7900 XTX | 24 GB GDDR6 | 6,144 shaders | 2.62 GHz boost | $869.99 $819.99 at Newegg (save $50 with promo code BFDDY2A648) Just like with the RTX 4080, it used to be hard to find AMD's RX 7900 XTX heavily discounted down below its MSRP price. But good deals can now be found and we'll happily take a substantial discount on this high-end GPU. The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is stupidly fast and there are plenty of good cooling designs for this card, including this one. RX 7900 XTX price check: Walmart $819.99 | Best Buy $829.99 | Amazon $859.99 You're probably thinking I've totally lost the plot suggesting that you should buy AMD's current top dog in its gaming GPU portfolio, but hear me out. The next generation of Radeon graphics cards is generally expected to include no 'halo models' like the RX 7900 XTX , with Team Red focusing heavily on the mid-range sector to improve its bottom line. That means there's a very good chance that you won't see a 24 GB RDNA 4 card any time soon, if ever. All that sweet, sweet VRAM means you're not going to hit any kind of memory issues in your games for a very long time and while the 7900 XTX doesn't have the ray tracing grunt of an equivalent GeForce RTX, it's still pretty good. Admittedly, that amount of VRAM is somewhat wasted in games but if you like to do a spot of AI shenanigans or memory-hungry content creation, then it's a much cheaper bet than Nvidia's 24 GB offerings. It's more expensive than an RTX 4070 Ti Super but it notably outperforms it, when you leave ray tracing disabled. And at $820, it significantly undercuts the RTX 4080 Super . In short, it's a hell of a lot of GPU for the money. Of course, it's still a lot of money and I dare say there's a chance that there will be an RDNA 4 card that's just as fast in certain games (or have better ray tracing chops). But I have to admit that I have a bit of a soft spot for AMD's behemoth. Buy one while you can still get a monstrous Radeon. RTX 4060 Gigabyte RTX 4060 | 8 GB GDDR6 | 3,072 shaders | 2,565 MHz boost | $319.99 $284.97 at Amazon (save $35.02) If you must have Ada Lovelace, Nvidia's latest gaming architecture, the cheapest way in is this RTX 4060. Faster than the RTX 3060 but the price suggests it should have been better. You do get the full DLSS 3.5 suite, though, and it's pretty decent at encoding video for streaming. Nevertheless, we prefer AMD's RX 7600 or last-gen RX 6700. RTX 4060 price check: Newegg $289.99 | Walmart $299.99 | Best Buy $294.99 With Nvidia expected to announce its next generation of GeForce graphic cards at CES in January , you're probably best off waiting to see what the new lineup of Blackwell-powered models are like. But if you don't want to wait or you're of the opinion that the RTX 50-series is going to be very expensive, then there are only two out of the current RTX 40-series that I think are worth buying in the Black Friday sales. I'm not suggesting the rest are rubbish—far from it—it's just that, as with AMD, we're not going to see a budget Blackwell until we're well into 2025. The cheapest of all the current Ada Lovelace offerings is, of course, the little RTX 4060 . Mind you, this triple-fan monster from Gigabyte is hardly what you call little. Still, you should have any problems with keeping it cool, that's for sure. One could argue that there's no such thing as a bad GPU, just a bad GPU price. And in the case of the RTX 4060, it's very much the latter. It's a perfectly decent entry-level graphics card, packing all the features of its larger brethren, bar VRAM. 👉 We're curating the best Black Friday PC gaming deals right here 👈 There's much argument to be found on the interwebs about how 8 GB of VRAM just isn't enough these days, and such claims are typically backed up with performance figures of cards tanking out their frame rate because they're bouncing off a VRAM limit. That's actually a fault of the game, not the card, as it's perfectly possible to have a memory management system in games properly track how much VRAM is available and not try to exceed it. Anyway, for me, the RTX 4060's best feature is DLSS. The combined AI-powered upscaling, frame generation, and ray tracing denoiser is a remarkable collection of technology and in the right game, it can turn a sluggish grind into a whirling flurry of frame rates with nary a visual glitch to be found. Pitch an RTX 4060 against a GTX 1060 and the fight will be over before the game has even loaded. RTX 4070 MSI Ventus RTX 4070 12G OC | 12 GB GDDR6X | 5,888 shaders | 2,505 MHz boost | $576.99 $469.99 at Newegg (save $107 after rebate) The RTX 4070 is a popular card and can be difficult to find at a discount, but it's important to remember that this price is way cheaper than it was at launch. You're getting nearly RTX 3080 performance but with all those nice RTX 40 features. This model uses the traditional 8-pin PCIe power connector, rather than the new 12VHPWR one, which makes it far easier to install as an upgrade. RTX 4070 price check: Best Buy $499.99 | Walmart $499.99 | Amazon $534.99 Yes, that's right—the RTX 4070 . Not the Super, nor the Ti Super. And you can forget about the 4080s and 4090s, too. This is the one that's worth your pennies. And my reason is simple: It's a surprisingly capable GPU and not just 'for the money'. I have two in my office and I'm frequently impressed by how well they cope with today's biggest games. We're taking RTX 3080 levels of pixel pushing, but with a much lower power consumption and you get the full DLSS package to boot. And at $470, a good $120 lower than its ridiculous launch price, it's a great deal too. Sure, the RTX 4070 Super is a better GPU but it's over $100 more expensive. I can't see Nvidia releasing a Blackwell card at this price that will give the 4070 a good thrashing. I've already argued my case for 8 GB of VRAM not being as much of a problem as some folks make it out to be but if you don't believe me, or you want a new graphics card that will last for many years, then the 12 GB here should ease those doubts. Intel? It can't have passed you by that I've not recommended any Intel graphics cards. Well, it's not because they're overpriced, as you can pick up an Arc A770 (the best of the Alchemist bunch) for just $230 at Newegg . The problem with all the Arc GPUs is that their performance is inconsistent and unpredictable. They'll work fine in some games and then awful in others. That's partly down to drivers but it's mostly because the architecture isn't as finely honed or as suitable for gaming as AMD and Nvidia's. Fortunately, it's expected that Intel will showcase Battlemage, the next generation of Arc graphic cards, in December and while they won't be as cheap as the current gen, they're surely going to be better performing. We'll let you know what they're like as soon as find out.

The death of former President Jimmy Carter on Sunday led to a swift outpouring of support and condolences from notable figures in both political parties. President Joe Biden and president-elect Donald Trump issued statements Sunday, and both said Carter was a president who worked to better Americans’ lives. “He was a man of great character and courage, hope and optimism,” Biden and First Lady Jill Biden said in a statement. “We will always cherish seeing him and Rosalynn together. The love shared between Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is the definition of partnership and their humble leadership is the definition of patriotism.” Trump said Carter dealt with “enormous responsibility” that only other presidents could relate to. “The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social. “For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude.” ‘One of my heroes’ Fellow Georgia politicians, including Democratic Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, issued passionate statements following the news Sunday. Warnock referred to the Plains native as “one of my heroes.” “His leadership was driven by love, his life’s project grounded in compassion and a commitment to human dignity,” Warnock said. “For those of us who have the privilege of representing our communities in elected office, Jimmy Carter is a shining example of what it means to make your faith come alive through the noble work of public service.” Ossoff said Carter’s work “changed the lives of many across our state, our country, and around the world.” “The State of Georgia and the United States are better places because of President Jimmy Carter,” Ossoff said. Former Sen. Sam Nunn, from Georgia, lauded Carter for his “spine of steel and intrepid focus and determination.” “Colin Powell and I had front row seats to these unique Carter traits in Haiti in 1994,” he said in a statement. “I will never forget nervously watching President Carter negotiate every word of the Haitian military’s peaceful turnover of authority, while the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne prepared to land on the roof of the military headquarters, where we were finishing the agreement.” Brad Raffensperger, Georgia secretary of state, said Carter devoted his life to serving the U.S. “As a true servant-leader, he devoted his post-presidency to spreading the very best of American ideals across the globe,” Raffensperger said in a statement Sunday. “His commitment to peace, democracy, and human rights has left an indelible mark on the world.” The Democratic Party of Georgia’s Chair, Rep. Nikema Williams, said Carter “leaves one of the greatest legacies of humanitarianism in history.” “My husband Leslie and I named our son Carter after our 39th president because he showed us that ordinary Georgians can do extraordinary things,” Williams said. “He was one of the greatest public servants of our time – and he was also a peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia. From a southwest Georgia town of a few hundred people to the Oval Office, President Carter went from sowing crops to sowing the seeds of peace around the world.” Georgia Lt. Gov. Ines Owens said Carter “represented small towns like Plains, Georgia and never forgot where he and his family came from.” Georgia’s Carter had ‘calm spirit and deep faith’ Major national lawmakers outside the Peach State offered their thoughts too, including GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell. McConnell said Carter’s “calm spirit and deep faith seemed “unshakable” during difficulties in his presidency. “President Carter lived a truly American dream,” McConnell said. “A devoutly religious peanut farmer from small-town Georgia volunteered to serve his country in uniform. He found himself manning cutting-edge submarines hundreds of feet beneath the ocean. He returned home and saved the family farm before feeling drawn to a different sort of public service. And less than 15 years after his first campaign for the state Senate, his fellow Americans elected him leader of the free world.” Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Senate majority leader, called Carter “one of our most humble and devoted public servants.” “President Carter’s faith in the American people and his belief in the power of kindness and humility leave a strong legacy,” Schumer said. “He taught us that the strength of a leader lies not in rhetoric but in action, not in personal gain but in service to others.” This is a developing story and will be updated.Democrats strike deal to get more Biden judges confirmed before Congress adjourns
