Elden Ring Gets Free AMD FSR 3 Frame Generation Mod

It's been a year and a half since PureDark released his Elden Ring NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation mod. The paid mod allowed GeForce RTX 40 Series owners a significant performance boost in the notoriously badly optimized game developed by FromSoftware. However, everyone else without an RTX 40 Series GPU has been out of luck so far. That changes with the recently released free AMD FSR Frame Generation and Temporal Super Resolution (ERSS-FG) mod by Nexus Mods user huutaiii. This mod supports AMD FSR 3 Super Resolution and Frame Generation, NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution and DLAA, and even Intel XeSS. […]

Dimensity 8400 CPU Cluster Details Shared By A Tipster; New Specifications Information Reveal An All-Performance Core Configuration, But Excludes The Cortex-X925

The Dimensity 9400 is not going to be MediaTek’s only chipset featuring a CPU cluster comprising of just performance cores because the company is said to be in the middle of launching its non-flagship SoC, the Dimensity 8400. A tipster has now shared the potential configuration of the upcoming silicon, with one of the major differences being is that it will lack Cortex-X925 cores. New rumor claims that the Dimensity 8400’s CPU cluster will only include Cortex-A725 cores, with TSMC’s 4nm process helping to improve efficiency A traditional 8-core cluster is said to be used for the Dimensity 8400, according […]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Witnesses 52% Of Total US Xbox Players Checking It Out, a New Record

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has witnessed a fantastic launch, probably the franchise's most successful entry, as it captured the attention of over half of the US Xbox Series S/X players. Well, it won't be wrong to say that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has managed to put behind all the woes we had with Activision and partners in terms of their take on the franchise since the newest entry has managed to break all previous records, in terms of the anticipation and hype. During Microsoft's recent earnings call, CEO Satya Nadella verified that Call of Duty: Black […]

No Current Unreal Engine 5 Can Run at Native 4K Resolution With Decent Performance Due to Engine Design

There's no current Unreal Engine 5-powered game that can run at native 4K resolution with acceptable performance, but that has nothing to do with developers but rather with how the engine is built. Speaking during the latest episode of Moore's Law is Dead Broken Silicon podcast, Infuse Studio co-founder Jacob Sutton discussed the idea that some users have that upscaling solutions such as NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS are being used as a crutch for developers to fix optimization issues, saying that upscaling is sort of becoming a requirement, using the Unreal Engine 5 as an example. Epic's […]

Unreal Engine 5.4 Brings Significant Performance Improvements, but Frame Time Stability Is Still an Issue

Some of the features introduced in Unreal Engine 5.4, such as renderer parallelization, bring considerable performance improvements, although frame-time stability still leaves something to be desired. The tech experts at Digital Foundry took a good look at the latest version of the engine by Epic released to the public last month, highlighting some of the key improvements in performance and visual quality. In regards to performance, the new renderer parallelization introduced in the new version of the engine can bring around 40% performance improvement in CPU-limited scenarios on a Ryzen 7 7800X3D on PC over version 5.0 in the Matrix […]

Unreal Engine 5.4 Comparison Video Highlights Ray-Traced Reflections Differences

A new Unreal Engine 5.4 comparison video was shared online today, highlighting the differences in reflections quality over the previous version of the engine. The comparison video put together by JSFILMZ does a great job highlighting how the deprecated standalone ray tracing features, including ray-traced reflections, may impact quality. Using the same sequence with the same setting in a hardware accelerated scenario, JSFILMZ demonstrated how using the new Screen Traces option, which seems to use screen space reflections, results in worse reflections quality than in Unreal Engine 5.3 using ray-traced reflections. Unreal Engine 5.4 was officially released yesterday, introducing several […]

Apple in Trouble Again as Epic Games Brings a New Lawsuit to the Company Over App Store Commission

It seems like Apple and Epic Games are not going to be playing nicely after all. The game developer and publisher have just gone ahead and filed a new lawsuit against the iPhone maker, and this time around, the company is being accused of not complying with the court order that was issued back in 2021. The court order allows the developers to bypass the App Store's 30% commission by bringing in alternative links that can be used by the user. The Epic vs. Apple battle is not over, as a new lawsuit has been filed against the iPhone maker […]

Apple and Epic are at it again! Epic Games developer account was terminated by Apple due to untrustworthy […]

Epic Games Store Users Grow in 2023 Thanks to Fortnite, but Third-Party Sales Dwindle

The Epic Games Store officially turned 5 years old in December, and while some of the fiery debate surrounding the storefront has died down, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a success yet. As part of their lawsuit against Google, Epic admitted the EGS still isn’t profitable and now they’ve released their 2023 Year in Review stats, which they obviously try to spin in a positive way, but don’t really look that promising. On the positive side, Epic Games Store users rose to 270 million in 2023, up 40 million from 2022, monthly active users topped 75 million in December, and […]
