If you're trying to decide whether you should be playing Baldur's Gate 3 on PlayStation 5 or PC and are feeling a little bit daunted by the specification requirements on PC, don't panic. It's been tested and confirmed by those over at Eurogamer that the settings on PlayStation 5 are essentially the same as the settings on PC if you were to play it on Ultra. Of course, many people are unable to do so, as the game is very graphically intensive, the world is expansive, and there are lots of visual effects that you need to contend with. Baldur's […]

Apple might be late to dive into the gaming market, but its M4 is definitely a capable SoC that can push respectable framerates in somewhat older AAA titles such as Death Stranding. When running the game on the new Mac mini at the ‘Very High’ settings, the robust cooling solution of the compact machine likely comes in handy, making it an enjoyable experience. It remains to be seen how relatively modern games would perform on the latest Mac mini, but first, let us take a look at Death Stranding. Death Stranding performance test on the M4 Mac mini was performed […]
Gaijin Entertainment has not one but two games enhanced for Sony's newly released PS5 Pro console at launch: the first-person tactical multiplayer WWII shooter Enlisted, originally released in 2020, and the vehicle combat multiplayer game War Thunder, which has been continuously updated since 2013. To learn how both games have been improved to leverage the most powerful console hardware currently on the market, we interviewed Gergo Horvath, a Graphics Programmer on Gaijin's proprietary Dagor Engine for over four years. Horvath admitted that the PlayStation 5 Pro's improvement over the PS5 is smaller than that seen in the previous generation between […]
Overclocked to 3 GHz, the Intel Xe iGPU on Core Ultra 5 245K delivers a solid performance on Time Spy, a significant uplift compared to stock. Intel Core Ultra 5 245K's 4 Xe-Core iGPU Overclocked By 1.1 GHz To A Stunning 3 GHz Despite lackluster gaming performance when paired with discrete GPUs, the Intel Core Ultra 200S is good when it comes to integrated graphics performance.

Based on the Xe-LPG architecture, the Core Ultra 200S processors(non-F/KF) […]

Additional information on the monsters, quests, and more that Monster Hunter Wilds will feature at launch may have been revealed thanks to the game's open beta client.

The PlayStation 5 Pro brings considerable visual and performance improvements in several titles, including Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4 remake, Demon's Souls, and others. In the tests conducted by Brazil Pixel, the latest two entries in the CAPCOM survival horror series powered by the RE Engine show considerable performance improvements. Resident Evil Village, for example, runs at locked 120 frames per second in HFR without ray tracing at 1080p resolution, which is quite impressive to see on a console in a relatively recent game. The Resident Evil 4 remake, on the other hand, doesn't reach the same locked 120 […]

Huawei was previously rumored to have been receiving 7nm chip shipments from TSMC, but the only way that could be possible was through proxies. While the Taiwanese semiconductor giant has re-assured that it will take prompt action if found violating the trade sanctions, with Donald Trump being re-appointed as the U.S. President, you can strongly believe that his administration will be locked in on China. According to the latest report, TSMC has notified its Chinese customers through email that all 7nm and below chip shipments will be halted starting next week. Companies that relied on TSMC’s 7nm process and newer […]
Yesterday, BioWare released the first Dragon Age: The Veilguard patch after the game's launch on October 31. The patch, around 1GB in size, is largely focused on a variety of bug fixes: Fixed an issue where DLSS options could end up “grayed-out” on a 40-series Nvidia GPU. Eliminated the cause of a small number of crashes. Updated XeSS version to 1.3.1. Fixed an issue where some customizations were not applied to the Inquisitor correctly Fixed a bug that caused Companion Skill Points to reset. Adjusted Companion Approval notifications so they remain on-screen longer as scenes end. Harding now has arrows […]
