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 […]

A Doom II: Ray Traced comparison video was shared online this week, highlighting the stunning visual improvements the path tracing mod brings to the classic game. The video, put together by Cycu1, does an excellent job showing not only how stunning the game looks with path tracing but also how much the atmosphere is improved, making the game almost feel like a horror game at times. Sadly, path tracing sometimes makes it difficult to spot enemies in the dark, which is expected, but it's only a minor issue compared to how much better the game looks with path tracing. 2024 and 2025 are […]
A stunning Doom II: Ray Traced path tracing mod is now available for download, turning the classic second entry in the series into something unreal. The path tracing mod, which can be downloaded from here, utilizes GZDoom, adding features like global illumination, ray-traced shadows, voxels, and fluid-based blood simulation. Needless to say, path tracing turns the classic game into something else, vastly enhancing its atmosphere and bringing its experience to new heights. You can check out how path tracing enhances the game before downloading the mod in the video below. It's really interesting how the Doom II: Ray Traced mod […]
The Resident Evil 4 remake looks glorious with path tracing in certain scenarios, but the increased visual quality comes at a high cost, especially at 4K resolution. A new video shared by MxBenchmarkPC puts the game's vanilla ray tracing features, which are limited to ray-traced reflections, and modded path tracing side-by-side, highlighting how much path tracing improves the game's visuals in certain scenarios despite the lack of denoisers by adding more reflective surfaces and more. This, however, comes at a huge performance cost, as the frame rate is essentially halved in most scenarios on an RTX 4080 GPU and with […]
The path tracing mod released last week for Dragon's Dogma 2 is now compatible with all Resident Evil games powered by the RE Engine, enhancing the games' visuals considerably. The mod developed by EXXXcellent has now been integrated in the latest build of the REFramework by Praydog, introducing RTGI/AO and Reflections in the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, 7 and Village, and RT Reflections only in the remake of the fourth entry in the series released last year. While the lack of denoising definitely impacts visual quality, the path tracing mod does enhance visuals in most scenarios, as highlighted […]
A new Unreal Engine 5.3 comparison video was shared online recently, putting Lumen and path tracing side by side in a specific game to highlight visual and performance differences. The new comparison video, which was put together by MxBenchmarkPC, shows the visually stunning DESORDRE: A Puzzle Game Adventure running with software and hardware Lumen and the recently-introduced path tracing mode. While path tracing is obviously superior, the video does a great job highlighting how great hardware Lumen looks. On the other hand, Software Lumen definitely leaves something to be desired, looking noisy and not particularly good. While both Lumen and […]
