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 [...]
CD PROJEKT RED today released a new trailer for Phantom Liberty, the upcoming spy thriller expansion for the game Cyberpunk 2077. In the video, Phantom Liberty’s Narrative Director Igor Sarzyński and Senior Communication Manager Paweł Burza give a detailed look at the story and setting of the new adventure. The trailer was first presented [...]
Actually, a more detailed game review was supposed to be published here today, but I decided against it in the end. Because even though I had already invested several hours, I cannot justify pretending that everything runs so smoothly that it can be objectively benchmarked and evaluated. As this once again confirms the trend of knowingly offering [...]
RDNA3 has been on the market for quite some time and besides AMD’s reference cards, you usually only see reviews of the RX 7900XTX and usually only of the more expensive custom models. The RX 7900 XT currently plays a kind of shadowy existence, especially the somewhat cheaper models of the respective board partners. That was reason enough [...]
As a passionate gamer and fan of post-apocalyptic scenarios, I was initially excited by the idea behind Naughty Dog’s “The Last of Us Part 1” and also bought the game myself, as I usually do by the way. This creates a little distance and you may judge a little differently, because it was your own money (and not too scarce). And [...]
Developed by Naughty Dog and originally released by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2013 exclusively for the PlayStation 3, the action-adventure game, The Last of Us, has finally made its way to the PC. Officially titled “The Last of Us Part 1: Remastered,” the PC version brings the award-winning masterpiece to a new platform, allowing [...]
The CMA is a regulatory authority in the United Kingdom responsible for overseeing competition and antitrust matters. It has given its preliminary approval to Microsoft’s proposed acquisition of the Activision Blizzard Group. This means that has no objections to the proposed merger for the time being, but will conduct further investigations [...]
Today we are testing the KFA2 GeForce RTX 4080 SG 16GB (1-Click-OC)and there is a certain reason for that. A GeForce RTX 4090 is already very expensive as such, but there is also the GeForce RTX 4080. Well, it also feels like it is in a different financial galaxy, but if you do need the performance, you can look for one of the cheaper models. [...]
The Game Developers Conference (GDC) kicks off next week and NVIDIA is announcing an expanded game list and new developer plug-ins for NVIDIA-DLSS-3, the latest version of its AI-powered Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology. NVIDIA is also announcing a new RTX bundle that includes Redfall from Bethesda. NVIDIA DLSS 3 Accelerates [...]
The GeForce RTX 4090 is already very expensive as such, but there are also considerable price differences between the respective models and manufacturers, so it is definitely worth looking twice financially. The KFA2 GeForce RTX 4090 SG 24GB (1-Click-OC) is one such candidate, whose clever positioning might only be recognized at second glance. At [...]
NVIDIA DLAA (Deep Learning Antialiasing) is basically DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) without the upscaling part. This algorithm enhances the details in each image in the same way as traditional antialiasing techniques, only with the power of AI. DLAA technology improves the picture quality of games that already run excellently on the existing [...]
