    Microsoft Standardizes Shader Execution Reordering in DirectX: Intel Arc Sees Up to 90% Ray Tracing Boost

    Now what we need is all GPU vendors to release SER ready drivers so we can have a proper showdown. EDIT: OK, this is a bit worrying: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/shader-model-6-9-retail-and-more/ Intel has the best coverage of the new features sans one (OMM) but one of their preview...

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 5 245K CPU Review

    GB6 developer is not amused that Intel is re-arranging his code on the fly: https://videocardz.com/newz/geekbench-flags-intel-binary-optimization-tool-results-as-potentially-invalid Interesting to see what happens next: 1) Nothing changes and all ARL-R/PTL and future Intel CPU results continue...

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K & Ultra 5 245K CPU Review

    They fixed many of the glaring issues and the price points are great. But they managed to alienate the early adopters of Arrow Lake. I'm not going to plomp down the cash for 270K or 250K and it sucks that right now, Intel Binary Optimization tool is off limits to me. They even screwed over 285K...

    Wow. Honestly, sometimes it feels like Samsung outsources its work to malnourished, mentally numb North Korean workers...

    Crimson Desert Has an Estimated 400,000 Pre-Orders on Steam, Which Could Result in $20 Million in Sales Revenue at Launch

    Yeah, work in progress. Guess they are trying to avoid any further bad PR.

    Intel Nova Lake: Everything We Know About the Core Ultra 400 Series and Its New LGA 1954 Socket

    It's going to have latency higher than X3D since it probably won't be stacked cache.

    I can't believe you refuse to play Oni since the combat is the actual fun thing in it, especially when you are surrounded by enemies :D It's the first such game I encountered before the gaming world had Devil May Cry or the Batman games.

    Crimson Desert Has an Estimated 400,000 Pre-Orders on Steam, Which Could Result in $20 Million in Sales Revenue at Launch

    Pretty honest review. Looks like the game design lead must've been a nepobaby with no idea what a good game is supposed to be like otherwise they wouldn't have made a game with AAA graphics and good music seem like a frickin' mobile game in terms of playability. But as the reviewer notes, it was...

    https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-launches-core-ultra-200hx-plus-arrow-lake-refresh-mobile-cpus-290hx-plus-is-8-faster-than-285hx So Spiderman Remastered binary optimized nets only a +2% gain??? Ummm...yeah, what a travesty that they wronged Intel by optimizing the game for Zen 2 :rolleyes:

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

    They will probably implement a warning message to the effect of "This game is not optimized for Steam Machine" for VRAM intensive games. Developers could also implement Steam Machine detection in their games and warn the user of bad experience if someone insists on running settings too high for...

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

    Some people have a weird principle of hanging onto hardware until it dies, even if they can afford something better. And I guess turning down/tweaking settings to run modern software on such old hardware turns them on.

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

    I think it has a good chance of succeeding because developers will finally have a minimum spec PC they can confidently target and optimize for. It should get the people hanging onto their Core 2 Quads and Nehalems to upgrade and stop bitching about AVX2 requirement in games. That really gets on...

    Intel Announces Core Ultra 7 270K Plus at $299 & Core Ultra 5 250K Plus at $199

    Some are speculating that Intel needs more time to bin more 290K CPUs. They have to be better than the average 285K bin. Also, it could be a trick to get enthusiasts to buy 270K on launch coz they've been starved for a new CPU for so long. Then release the 290K in May or June and get those same...

    Intel Announces Core Ultra 7 270K Plus at $299 & Core Ultra 5 250K Plus at $199

    I hope this means that 290K or 295K, whenever it gets released, has 10P+8E core configuration. They could also do 8P+20E but that's kinda boring and only useful for Cinebench etc.

    Intel Announces Core Ultra 7 270K Plus at $299 & Core Ultra 5 250K Plus at $199

    So this gen brings: Special "mechanical" features Higher D2D speeds upto 900 MHz (wish they would mention Ring, NGU and D2D speed in Intel ARK) Better IMC to support 7200 MT/s RAM at stock speed CQDIMM quad rank RAM support (these are gonna be HEAVY!) 100 MHz higher boost speeds An extra...
