AMD's 3D V-Cache technology completely changed the CPU market, letting AMD take the lead with its X3D CPUs in gaming. The powerful and leading gaming performance of Ryzen X3D CPUs isn't the only factor why a lot of enthusiasts go with these CPUs, but their power efficiency is another major factor that offers users the highest performance per watt. Since the release of the first-ever Ryzen X3D CPU i.e., the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, AMD has been actively preparing more and more X3D CPUs based on different architectures. This has increased the potential of X3D CPUs to the point that building […]
Since the previous sales milestone for Persona in March 2024, the series has gone on to sell a whopping 23.5 million copies across the globe, with the sales including both physical and digital. In March, it was reported that the Persona series had sold 22.6 million copies. This was announced shortly after the release of Persona 3 Reload, which sold more than one million copies in less than a week. The Persona series is continuing to expand and become more popular, as it was once considered a niche series. However, as announced in Sega's Annual Integrated Report for 2024, the […]

With Grand Theft Auto VI, Rockstar Games has raised the bar again in terms of realism and NPC behavior while offering players more freedom than before, according to a former developer of the game. Speaking With GTAVIoclock, former game designer at Rockstar Games, commented on the next entry in the open-world series launching next year, saying that the developer has raised the bar again in terms of realism and NPC behavior, which will blow everyone away and will be talked about many years after launch. The former developer also talked about mission design, saying that it will be what makes […]
The famous open-source platform MESA on Linux has pushed out CPU-based ray tracing for its Vulkan driver, opening new performance possibilities on the OS. MESA's Latest Attempt To Improve Performance at Linux Now Features CPU-Based Ray Tracing Support Well, CPU-based ray tracing isn't a term we hear every day, mainly because it is generally limited compared to those we see with GPUs. However, some CPUs, mostly the higher-end ones, work out perfectly fine for low-intensive RT tasks. Phoronix reports that the MESA Lavapipe driver has received support for CPU-based ray tracing, which means that Linux users will now have another […]
The open-source MESA platform has received its new quarterly update, bringing in significant performance improvements to the RADV & Intel ANV Vulkan drivers. MESA Finally Brings In Initial Support For Imagination's PowerVR Rogue Architecture, Prompting Open-Source Development While Also Boosting RADV RT Performance For AMD Radeon GPUs Developers maintaining MESA have done a fabulous job in making the platform competitive with mainstream offerings through continuous optimizations and updates. Just recently, we saw the RADV Vulkan driver scoring huge ray-tracing gains, showing the dedication of MESA developers. However, this time, the new version 24.0 is an all-rounded update, providing both Intel […]
MESA's RADV Vulkan driver on Linux will be receiving new round of performance updates centered around VKD3D-Proton & AMD's FSR 3. Open-Source Developers at MESA Implement Widespread Optimizations On The RADV Driver, Targeting AMD FSR 3 & VKD3D-Proton Developers of the open-source MESA driver have ramped up developments on the RADV driver for AMD's Radeon "RDNA 3" GPUs, reports Phoronix. The platform will witness optimizations targeting the VKD3D-Proton by improving the MSAD instruction use, and it could see a significant boost in overall performance. For those who are unaware of VKD3D-Proton, it is an open-source project that aims to provide […]
AMD's Radeon GPUs are witnessing some huge ray tracing performance gains with the latest MESA RADV Vulkan drivers. Steady Optimizations & Development Have Put The RADV Vulkan Way Ahead of AMD's "AMDVLK" Drivers, Up To 200% Ray-Tracing Gain With Radeon GPUs The RADV Vulkan driver designed for AMD's graphics cards has started to see big improvements in recent times, especially when it comes to hardware support, constant optimization, and bug fixes. Ray-tracing in Linux is something that has always been held back due to a lack of "mature" driver and software resources, but it looks like MESA has your back, […]
MESA, the open-source OpenGL & Vulkan API library, has received the NVIDIA NVK Vulkan driver along with AMD RDNA 3.5 GPU support in the latest 23.3 release. MESA 23.3 Brings in NVIDIA Vulkan & RDNA 3.5 Enablement, Shaping Up To Be a Viable Alternative to Mainstream Drivers The new MESA 23.3 update has come with exciting bits, starting with the introduction of NVIDIA's Vulkan "NVK" driver, which is supported by utilizing the Nouveau DRM kernel driver. For Linux users who are intrigued by the "open-source" developments on the platform, this is indeed a huge piece of news, since it would […]
