DLSS 4.5 may have been with us since January of this year, but one of its most interesting features, Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, is finally coming to Nvidia app beta users on March 31. The update boosts the top frame gen count for RTX 50-series GPUs to 6x, being made up of five AI generated…
Few things show off a modern graphics engine better than a lush forest, and The Witcher 4 looks to be stuffed with them. The highly-anticipated, Unreal Engine 5-based game has dazzled in the trailers and graphics breakdowns to date, and now Nvidia has announced it’ll be using a new RTX Mega Geometry foliage system to…
Late last month, Anthropic refused to remove AI autonomous weapons and mass surveillance safeguards when the US government asked it to do so. The administration then cancelled its contract in response. OpenAI took up that contract, and the Department of War soon threatened to label Anthropic a ‘supply chain risk’. In yet another twist and…
MIDA’s Protect/Destroy 4 quest in Marathon sends you to Outpost, the most difficult and confusing of the three base maps. You don’t really get a second to take a look around, which is problematic when you need to find terminal locations and scan tagged containers in three different spots.

It isn’t so complex after all. Someone’s built a semiconductor-class cleanroom in a wooden shed in their backyard. DIY chip building, here…
There’s one thing that handheld gaming PCs, some laptops, and most phones all have in common, and it’s the use of LPDDR5X for the system memory. While fast in speed and low in power usage, it doesn’t offer a lot of bandwidth, so the fact that SK hynix is set to start mass production of…
