NVIDIA has released the first performance numbers for the upcoming game Alan Wake 2. The game will feature full path tracing and support for DLSS 3.5. An NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is expected to reach over 120 FPS at 4K, but only using the full feature set including Frame Generation. Alan Wake 2 is thus now one of two games to fully utilize [...]
Is there anything left to do? Intel continues its commitment to improving the gaming experience on its Arc GPUs rather unwaveringly with the release of the latest Game-On drivers. This latest update not only adds support for hotly anticipated titles like Forza Motorsport and Assassin’s Creed Mirage, but also brings significant other [...]
Call of Duty is celebrating its 20th anniversary and Activision’s president is very positive about the future under Microsoft. After all, the Call of Duty franchise is already celebrating its twentieth anniversary this month. The first part was released on October 29, 2003. GamesBeat colleagues recently had the opportunity to interview [...]
AMD has released its long-awaited Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) technology in the Adrenaline Preview driver. AFMF is an upscaling technology that allows gamers to double or even triple their frame rates without sacrificing quality. The technology works by combining two frames from gameplay and then upscaling them using a proprietary algorithm. AFMF [...]
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty marks the latest milestone in the evolution of Night City, offering players a fresh perspective on the dystopian world you already know and love. With the introduction of Dogtown, a new district that impresses in both design and narrative, this expansion virtually sets a new gold standard for future DLCs of other [...]
Released today, NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 is the latest iteration of NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology and brings a number of enhancements and new features to improve the ray tracing experience in games and applications. In doing so, NVIDIA has set ambitious goals to also increase adoption of the new technology. True to the [...]
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty raises the base game to a new level in all areas, say the publisher and NVIDIA. However, this is not the usual review today, but a kind of leak from the bubbling rumor mill. Of course, it remains to be seen whether all of this is true. We’ll have our own special on Ray Reconstruction this afternoon, for [...]
I accompanied the launch of the Radeon RX 7800XT and RX 7700XT in detail with four cards, but today we have a single test of the Sapphire RX 7700XT Pure 12GB. Compared to the cheaper RX 7700XT Pulse 12GB, this card has a bigger cooler and also a higher power limit. But the real difference lies in the color choice, because the Pure, in nice [...]
Bethesda has announced the first major update for Starfield. The update includes a number of new features and improvements that players have been asking for. One highlight is the support for DLSS. Another important feature is the FOV slider, which allows players to customize the angle of view in the game. This is especially important for players [...]
Starfield mod makes textures sharper when using upscalers Well-known modder doodlum has released a new mod for Starfield that makes the game look sharper. The mod, called Upscaling Fix, fixes a problem with the default implementation of upscaling in Starfield. The problem is that the default implementation does not properly set the negative mipmap [...]
There was a gap as big and deep as the Pacific Ocean between the Radeon RX 7900XT and the Radeon RX 7600, so the RX 7900 GRE was nothing more than a rarely found alibi card. AMD took its time with the Navi32, probably also for resource reasons, and now wants to push itself ahead of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 4070 and the long-tested RTX 4060 Ti [...]
FSR 3 is still to come j, but NVIDIA continues to push forward with DLSS. Recently, NVIDIA announced that two games coming out later this month will support Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) 3 technology to improve image quality. The first of these games is SYNCED, a cooperative third-person lootershooter developed by Tencent’s NExT [...]
Since today’s ‘big’ article is coming out around 1 PM, I’m quickly throwing in my two cents about Starfield so that your breakfast bread settles awkwardly in your stomach. Even if it might sound derogatory, here’s my subjective, final confirmation: Despite its ‘fresh’ space theme, Starfield harbors the [...]
How do you upgrade the dead Gamescom? Right, with a hardware launch! AMD explicitly targets the “enthusiasts” among gamers with the Radeon RX 7800XT (499 USD) and RX 7700XT (449 USD) presented today and fills the remaining gap in the midfield of gaming graphics cards at the same time. Mit focuses on “1440p gaming”, i.e [...]
NVIDIA is gearing up for the release of RTX Remix, an innovative modding platform developed as part of the NVIDIA Omniverse. This platform is designed to give modders tools to create and share #RTXON mods for classic games. These mods will include upgraded materials, comprehensive ray tracing, NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA RTX IO, and NVIDIA Reflex [...]
Remnant 2 is another Souls game, and it actually does everything right that Souls games do well. It’s challenging, rewarding, and offers a variety of worlds to explore and battles to fight. But it’s also a game that will frustrate you from time to time. You’ll die, and die again, and die again. But when you finally manage to [...]
The Edifier M601DB 2.1 stereo speakers are a good example that appealing quality does not always have to be reflected in an exorbitant price. Equipped with several useful features and an acceptable sound quality, they are definitely an option for listening enthusiasts with a limited budget. You can read why I make slight restrictions at the [...]
The latest Steam hardware survey data reveals an exciting development: AMD CPUs are gaining market share on Linux gaming systems, overtaking Intel. According to the published statistics of Steam’s hardware survey for the month of June, AMD CPUs have further extended their lead on Linux systems. With an impressive 7.6 percent increase [...]
AMD is poking fun at the almost homeopathic memory expansion of the NVIDIA Ada mid-range, and NVIDIA feels secure enough with smart memory management, and in the end, the customer no longer knows what to buy. Although I do not question the issue of the too tightly measured memory expansion, because it is what it is and cannot be glossed over [...]
I admit, it was tempting to test the current Radeon Pro W7800 as a gaming card, because AMD’s offerings between the already launched RX 7900 XT(X) and the RX 7600 are conspicuous by their noble absence on the market. At least the Radeon RX 7800XT has been ready for a long time, only that the chip is marketed as Radeon Pro W7800. Reason [...]
