    NVIDIA Unveils DLSS 5, to Help Achieve Photorealistic Lighting While Honoring the Artist’s Original Intent and Image Quality

    So am I to understand that it is more efficient compute-wise to re-interpret and generated a new frame between two actual frames than to just reproduce a new frame interpolated between the frames on either side (for a given page refresh range)? Or is this an example of team Green attempting to...

    NVIDIA Unveils DLSS 5, to Help Achieve Photorealistic Lighting While Honoring the Artist’s Original Intent and Image Quality

    So is this a case where you might need two GPUs - one for graphics, and one for AI - kind of like the old PhysX setups?

    Valve Reveals Steam Machine and Frame Requirements, Advises Developers That “Optimizing for Lower Spec Machines Expands Your Audience.”

    Regarding the headline ... Tell me your new gaming device cannot compete with similar market products without telling me its performance will be worse. The statement is pure marketing spin. If you cannot compete in a market, re-frame the discussion to ensure your product is seen positively and...

    I have seen vertical CMOS batteries but THIS is ridiculous

    Am I the only one here that thinks they could have saved money by using half as much wire lead?

    Endless Sky on GoG ... to scratch that 2D space combat itch. Oh yeah, also included are commodity trading, fleet building, main story and side quests, and more ... One of the nice things about GoG is that you can search their database for Free Games (e.g., while filtering out DLC and sorting...

    Styx: Blades of Greed Free Demo Is Now Available for a Limited Time Ahead of Its February Release

    Granted, it has been several years since I played them, but this looks like the previous Styx games ... with upgraded graphics.

    The 2026 Game Thread: You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy Edition

    I've tried numerous times to like P:WotR, but I just can't seem to catch the groove. It's not a bad game, and it has decent enough writing (at least, for the genre - what little I've witnessed), but the underlying story and the direction it takes just doesn't compel my interest enough to get...

    Houston, we have a problem.

    Me neither. I prefer GoG's offline installers and DRM-free ethos.

    Pre-Arrow Lake Xe iGPUs abandoned by Intel

    Isn't this just for on-die or integrated graphics? So if you have a standalone or dedicated GPU, does this matter much?

    Steam Winter Sale 2025

    Battletech is fun if you're into turn based combat and big stompy mechs (and have a passing knowledge of the tabletop game it is loosely based on). But you'll get more enjoyment from the complete game with all DLC. Just my 2c [Edit to add: I've probably gotten several hundred hours of...

    TEAMS on windows 11 SUCKS!!!

    Alt-Enter is a thing - for those that don't know. Ctrl-Enter is supposed to be the new "Send" (according to the tooltip), but plain old Enter still sends a message. MS Teams is a dumpster fire we're forced to use at work. I'm not a fan.

    CDPR Hopes to Finish the Upcoming the Witcher Trilogy Within Six Years, but Don’t Plan on Seeing Anything at This Year’s The Game Awards

    I might give that a shot, or even better, if they allowed the player to define the character's looks and choose from a variety of dialog responses. I absolutely abhor Geralt as a character. I'm not opposed to the lore. They've already introduced other witcher non-player characters, so their...
