Our colleagues at TomsHardware report that Microsoft has published a new patent that is intended to make ray tracing graphics more efficient.

It’s clear to everyone that, for the most part, a laptop doesn’t come close to a desktop PC. This is particularly noticeable when you want to play games or use more powerful applications. Here you can clearly see that performance and quality are already limited. A gaming laptop can help, but even here there are severe limitations in [...]

However, it has since been unblocked again, Apple is on a direct confrontation course against Epic Games A brief summary: Apple has blocked Epic Games’ Swedish developer account on their platform, which was supposed to bring the Epic Game Store to IOS [...]
The fact that Epic Games and Apple are not good friends is nothing new and has been clear since the legal dispute with the in-game purchases of the game Fortnite on IOS devices. Nevertheless, Epic Games was working on its own app, directly for IOS devices. Now the developers’ account has been blocked. Epic Games has known for some time that [...]
Some should have heard of Yuzu or even used it. This is an emulator that could emulate Nintendo Switch games on another device. Unfortunately, after a lawsuit from Nintendo, the whole project and a final agreement between Nintendo and the Tropic Haze group has now been scrapped. With Yuzu you could emulate the Nintendo Switch on your PC thanks to [...]
As David Hollingworth from Cyber Daily announced, the game developer Epic Games was probably hacked by the ram software group Mogilevich. Epic Games initially refused to comment, even in response to requests from other websites, and kept a rather low profile. But what had actually happened? The young ram software group Mogilevich (Russian: Mogila [...]
RDNA3 has been on the market for some time and the story seemed to be completely over. But one card is still possible and so today AMD is pushing a card that was originally intended for system integrators into the retail market with a slight delay. The “launch” is somewhat strange in that this card is already available in a few [...]
In the absence of genuine AAA titles, I’ve tried squeezing some form of light relief into my stressful daily grind amidst stacks of graphics cards and other power-hungry gadgets. “RoboCop: Rogue City”, the latest endeavor meant to overshadow the golden days of PC gaming, turns out to be more shadow than entertaining enlightenment [...]
After yesterday’s review of the GeForce RTX 4070 Super Founders Edition (and the other so-called MSRP cards without factory OC), today I have one of the cheaper OC cards for you in the form of the Palit GeForce RTX 4070 Super Jetstream OC, which has an RRP of 699 euros. Of course, I’m not going to repeat the whole thing about the AD104 [...]
It is well known that you can use tools such as MSI Afterburner to increase or decrease the maximum power consumption of a graphics card (within the specifications). In addition, the 12V-2×6 connection (formerly 12VHPWR) also offers different power levels. But what are the differences between the two options and what happens if you use both [...]
So anyone who really believes that everything used to be cheaper is very much mistaken. Just compare salaries and prices! Computers are a luxury good. And gold-plated accessories are as old as the PC price list. But who am I telling? If you browse through yesterday’s advertisements today, it can make you feel really sick. But just before [...]
The patch 2.1 for Cyberpunk 2077 brings a lot of new features, but unfortunately also some problems. And before I go into the new features, we also need to look at the hurdles that stand in the way of a new user experience. Since its release, Cyberpunk 2077 has emerged as a platform for demonstrating new graphics card technologies, particularly in [...]
René and I have known each other for almost two decades and it was bound to happen at some point. Because while I was constantly stopping myself from picking up everything, he made it his goal in life. And that’s how his impressive collection of computer games came about, which was even entered into the Guinness Book of Records as the [...]
According to Quasar Zone, this is a “crazy idea”, but nevertheless they have managed to successfully combine NVIDIA’s DLSS 3 Frame Gen and AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames technologies. Although the process wasn’t straightforward, it’s pleasing to see that these two technologies provide a significant improvement in [...]
After numerous articles, explanations, and follow-up tests, today we’re taking a different approach. I have three intriguing topics for you: the possible origin story of the 12VHPWR connector, the deliberate ignorance of the originally intended 8-pin EPS connector, which continues to prove its resilience against defeat in power supplies and [...]
Once upon a time in the vast expanses of digital Asgard, the mighty Odin, the All-Father of the Gods, was looking for a new challenge. After centuries of fighting, writing poetry and occasionally losing his eye, Odin found that life in Asgard had become a little… well, boring. “What good are all these runes and ravens if I can’t [...]
AMD took its time with the Navi32, probably also for resource reasons, and now PowerColor even comes with an RX 7800XT Hellhound in a completely white dress – right down to the board and coils. The GeForce RTX 4070 is always firmly in view and of course poses with the 16 GB graphics memory. The cooler is huge, the power limit is ample and [...]
It’s been a long time coming, but after a whole decade, Alan Wake has finally passed the torch to a worthy successor, since the remake doesn’t really cut the mustard. And now, drum roll please, he’s back in the saddle! Every newsroom is over the moon and singing the game’s praises. But to steer clear of the Alan Wake 2 hype [...]
