Gamescom 2024 is officially underway in Cologne – and alongside a raft of game announcements at Opening Night Live, a lot of new PC hardware has also been shown off for the first time.
Here are my personal highlights from the show so far, including next-gen AMD Ryzen motherboards, a promising new PC handheld, big news in the gaming monitor space and a host of special edition hardware to celebrate the meteoric launch of Black Myth: Wukong.

AMD X870 and X870E motherboards have finally arrived
As you may recall, we tested out the confusingly subpar Ryzen 9000 lineup on the same 2022-era X670E motherboards that accompanied Ryzen 7000. A couple of weeks later, new X870E and X870 motherboards are finally ready, with Asus debuting eight X870E and X870 models at Gamescom – seven ATX and one ITX.
