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 […]

The DDR5 memory segment has been seeing a lot of action as it gets standardized across all PC platforms. With memory prices dropping and the latest platforms becoming affordable, memory makers are offering new solutions all the time with some focusing on high-end specifications. In contrast, others focus on strengthening their gaming product portfolios. Last year, Crucial (Micron) introduced its first desktop-ready DDR5 UDIMMs & more recently, we got to see the PRO overclocking series, offering up to 6000 MT/s speeds. While the former are designed following JEDEC specs to make sure that they are compatible with all PC platforms, the […]

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 […]
