    The FPS Review Weekender: Gears of War: E-Day Is the Rare Unreal Engine 5 Game That Actually Wants More CPU Cores, Plus 10 More Hardware Reviews

    Cool to know about E-Day. Not my kind of game, but good to know that someone finally put in the effort. I almost want to get it just to see it give the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX in my laptop or 5800X3D/9800XD rigs a workout.

    Valve’s Steam Frame Is Finally Available with a Starting Price of $1,059

    Okay, so here we are, and about two weeks out from launch. I got mine last Friday, but then came down with what seems to be the most contagious common cold I've ever seen but I'm mostly over it now and have had some time to do various types of testing. Something I feel worth mentioning is that I...

    The Witcher 3 Remastered Launches Today Bringing Updated Visuals and Game Mechanics to the Game Originally Released in 2015

    Definitely on the right track. Turns out it's a combination of DLSS and MFG. Frame limits were actually detrimental and often inaccurate for what they were supposed to be: 75 FPS showed at 60 via MS AB, and 60 could be 50, and anything less than 144 introduced stuttering. Never really seen a...

    The Witcher 3 Remastered Launches Today Bringing Updated Visuals and Game Mechanics to the Game Originally Released in 2015

    Guess I'm not the only one. This person let their GPU run unlocked and saw it spike to 626W! I tried using DLSS Quality and it with power limit settings I saw it drop to 385W from 400+ (DLAA). Not a huge gain and either way it can do over 144 FPS easily but what really bugs me is how reducing...

    Metro 2033 + Last Light Redux Next-Gen Updates Announced with 4K Textures, Spatial Audio, and Other Modern Features

    Yeah, I'm kind of looking forward to replaying these for the umpteenth time but really hoping they do another DLSS update for Exodus as well (get it to 4.5) and maybe throw in some path tracing with it, and MFG. While those GTAO effects are awesome, I think it could really benefit from 4.5.

    NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Confirms Blackwell Successor, Rubin, During Unannounced Trip to TSMC

    I'd agree with that but I have major doubts AMD's GPU division has anything competitive at a 5080 level arriving in 2027 and if they do, if it'll be a a price equal or lower than whatever the 5080 will be going for at the time. I could see AMD taking over in the low-to-mid tiers though but even...

    Sony Wants to Make It Easier for You to Pay by Adding Credit Card Processing to Its Controllers

    There's always a way around everything but I still won't use face id or fingerprint for anything. Too many cons for a pro I don't need. I also remember the story about when reportedly some cops or agents used the fingers of an unconscious gang member during a bust to unlock their phone. No...

    Microsoft Says That Limited Resources Prevent It from Using AMD in Surface Devices Even as It Partners with Other Vendors for Its Mobile PCs

    and hard as f to get in reality. I still remember several years ago pre-ordering an ASUS with an RTX 4090 mobile laptop six months in advance which had the equivalent of a mobile 9950 CPU and a month after it was supposed to launch ASUS cancelled it. As quick as I was to want to blame them it...

    Micro Center has reportedly implemented a new process for customers seeking to purchase NVIDIA’s highly sought-after flagship GPU, the RTX 5090, which includes providing identification and signing a declaration stating they will not export the controlled substance card. This crazy world keeps...

    Metro 2033 + Last Light Redux Next-Gen Updates Announced with 4K Textures, Spatial Audio, and Other Modern Features

    Deep Silver has revealed that it has updated both Metro Redux games with newly improved visuals and audio, along with support for modern PC and console hardware. One could be forgiven for thinking of these as redux-redux since the first iteration of major updates happened in 2014, when the...

    Star Wars Jedi III Is Rumored to Still Be in Development but a Launch Announcement Could Be Imminent

    After months of seemingly no updates or rumors, someone is making claims that the final entry in the trilogy is still in development and a launch announcement is on the way. It’s been a spell since Star Wars Jedi: Survivor arrived on PC and consoles in 2023. That game continued the adventures of...

    The Witcher 3 Remastered Launches Today Bringing Updated Visuals and Game Mechanics to the Game Originally Released in 2015

    and then there was a patch...but it doesn't address the power issue I've seen. https://www.thewitcher.com/gb/en/news/52067/patch-5-00b-for-the-witcher-3-wild-hunt-remastered-is-now-live

    The Witcher 3 Remastered Launches Today Bringing Updated Visuals and Game Mechanics to the Game Originally Released in 2015

    By the way, a must-have mod for anyone who truly wants to experience everything in the game. It has roughly 6,000 bug fixes and restored content, including dialogue, npcs, cutscenes, various items, and more. It's been around for a while and the author continually updates for each game version...

    The Witcher 3 Remastered Launches Today Bringing Updated Visuals and Game Mechanics to the Game Originally Released in 2015

    So updated driver and no change except that I mistakenly said I lowered FPS to 70 (this is what I do manually in a lot of other games), this one has 75 as one of the options and oddly enough, according to MSI AB, strangely limited to 60 FPS. It doesn't matter though since GPU still pegged at...

    Strap Yourselves In and Prepare a Restore Image Because Windows 11 26H2 Has Arrived

    I'm going to hold off for a bit with my home rigs due to simply not wanting to deal with any complications right now but since it's technically a part of my job, I'm probably going to try and "upgrade" one of our laptops since I need to know in advance what I might be in for down the road, same...

    DLSS 5 Autopilot Allows Users to Configure NVIDIA’s Neural Rendering Solution and Lower Performance Hits and Power Draw

    So after having spent a another week with this I can safely say image quality mileage can vary greatly depending on the game but I'm also leaning a lot more towards what @Brent_Justice said in his video regarding DLSS 5 in that honestly, devs should be using this to create better textures for...
