Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

The PlayStation 5 Pro Horizon Forbidden West patch introduces an image treatment solution that delivers better image quality from what we have seen so far of the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler. During the latest episode of their weekly podcast, the tech experts at Digital Foundry discussed this new image treatment solution, saying that it delivers a pristine image quality that is close to what NVIDIA DLSS can deliver on PC and considerably better than what we have seen PSSR do so far. This solution, which is reportedly in development for Guerrilla Games' next project, is likely a compute-based solution […]
The PlayStation 5 Pro AI-powered PSSR upscaler is definitely superior to AMD FSR 3.1 but lags behind NVIDIA DLSS in certain scenarios, according to a very early comparison. A couple of days back, Digital Foundry shared a face-off video between the three upscalers based on Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart using approximate quality settings, as getting a perfect match proved to not be possible. In addition, the PC version of the game by Insomniac uses a different implementation of Dynamic Resolution Scaling than the console version. Using this approximate recreation of the same visual quality settings, the early comparison highlighted […]
Though they are not officially supported, both AMD FSR 3 frame generation and NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction can be easily enabled in the Silent Hill 2 remake by Bloober Team, which is now available in early access for those who pre-ordered the game's Deluxe Edition. As reported by Deck Wizard, to enable AMD FSR 3 frame generation in the game, users need only add the r.FidelityFX.FI.Enabled=1 line under [SystemSettings] in the game's engine.ini file. While it shows some ghosting issues, frame generation can definitely make the game feel smoother, especially for those who are playing on an underpowered system […]
NVIDIA has confirmed several newly released PC games that include day-one support for NVIDIA DLSS 3, the most anticipated of which is undoubtedly Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown. The third installment in the open world racing series and the first since 2011's Unlimited 2, Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown was announced over four years ago and suffered several delays throughout its development, first from 2022 to 2023 and then from 2023 to 2024. Developed by KT Racing (formerly known as Kylotonn and primarily known for making the WRC games until a couple of years ago), Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown […]
NVIDIA DLSS is a powerful technology, with more and more games being added to the roster that are compatible with DLSS. This week, a few new games are being launched with NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex, and other advanced ray-traced effects to give those with GeForce RTX system capabilities the most stunning image and performance. Of the games joining the roster this week, players can expect the following to have NVIDIA DLSS integration: Spectre Divide Gori: Cuddly Carnage Supermoves Star Wars Outlaws Spectre Divide is a new 3v3 tactical shooter that was launched today with DLSS Super Resolution integration. In this […]
The latest update for NVIDIA DLSS is out, and compatibility with some new games has been added. The main game added in this update is Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks. As of August 6, 2024, this game is now in Early Access. If you've been looking for a chaotic, orc-filled experience with all the makings of an arcade racing game, check out Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks on Steam. The list of games added has contributed to a huge list of over 500 games that now have DLSS, Nvidia Reflex, or other ray-traced effect integration. These games are helping enhance the experience […]
A new NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready driver launches today, introducing support for upcoming games, including two shooters that will both be released with DLSS support. On August 15th, players on PC and consoles will be able to experience Hunt: Showdown 1896, the next chapter of the game developed by Crytek. This new chapter comes with a massive game and engine update, as well as NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution support on PC, leading to better performance with minimal impact on visual quality. A few days earlier, PC players will be able to experience the first version of Level Zero: Extraction, an […]
CAPCOM's Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, NetEase's Marvel Rivals beta, and Final Fantasy XIV Online are among the latest games to support NVIDIA DLSS. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess was released last week, complete with NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation and Reflex support, which deliver a high framerate experience with limited input delay, something I did highlight in my review. Despite not being a fast-paced game, higher framerates definitely improve the experience as a whole. On the other hand, Marvel Rivals definitely benefits from the higher framerate offered by NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation and reduced input delay offered by […]
Today, NVIDIA has released a new GeForce Game Ready driver (version 556.12) optimized for The First Descendant, the upcoming free-to-play third-person looter shooter game developed by NEXON. The Unreal Engine 5 powered title will support NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction, ray tracing, NVIDIA DLAA, NVIDIA Reflex, and HDR10+ when it launches on July 2. Here's an excerpt from our recent hands-on at Summer Game Fest 2024: The First Descendant is a very mobile type of third-person shooter. Staying grounded in one spot and even strafing from side to side won't prevent players from catching a stray bullet to the […]
Future versions of NVIDIA DLSS could use AI to generate textures and objects, among other things, potentially introducing another big game changer that could greatly impact the gaming industry. Speaking in a new interview with Moore Than Moore, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang provided some hints regarding what future versions of NVIDIA DLSS may feature. As of now, AI is being used for neural graphics, generating pixels based off a few input pixels (Super Resolution) and to generate frames (Frame Generation), but in the future, it will be possible to even generate textures and objects and the objects can even be […]
While Microsoft has made strides with Game Pass PC and Microsoft Store versions of PC games, there's still a lot to do in this area, as testified by the recent release of Still Wakes the Deep. The Chinese Room's first-person survival horror adventure game is only the latest game to launch on Game Pass PC with several missing features, including NVIDIA DLSS and AMD FSR, both of which are available on Steam and Epic Games Store. The same happened with Neon Giant's The Ascent in 2021 (that game also lacked ray tracing) and Gunfire's Remnant II in 2023. Interestingly, The […]
