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 […]
Judging from another Unreal Engine 5.4 tech demo, native 4K resolution is increasingly looking like a resolution that only the absolute best GPUs will be able to handle with decent performance. A few hours ago, MxBenchmark PC shared a new video showing the Forgotten Cemetery demo created by Scans Factory running at 4K and 1440p resolutions, Epic settings on an RTX 4080 GPU. As seen in other tech demos powered by the latest version of the engine by Epic, the NVIDIA GPU, which is still among the most powerful GPUs on the market, is not able to handle native 4K […]
The Unreal Engine 5.4 is capable of producing some impressive visuals, but they can take a toll on performance, even on powerful GPUs. In a new video showcasing the Abandoned Manor Tech Demo by SCANS, MxBenchmarkPC shows how beautiful the demo looks at 4K native resolution and hardware Lumen, which is enabled as part of Epic settings. Unfortunately, at these settings, even the RTX 4080 has trouble hitting 30 FPS in certain scenarios. Performance is definitely more acceptable at 1440p resolution, as even at Epic settings, the RTX 4080 can run the demo at above 60 frames per second most […]
Some of the features introduced in Unreal Engine 5.4, such as renderer parallelization, bring considerable performance improvements, although frame-time stability still leaves something to be desired. The tech experts at Digital Foundry took a good look at the latest version of the engine by Epic released to the public last month, highlighting some of the key improvements in performance and visual quality. In regards to performance, the new renderer parallelization introduced in the new version of the engine can bring around 40% performance improvement in CPU-limited scenarios on a Ryzen 7 7800X3D on PC over version 5.0 in the Matrix […]
The Unreal Engine 5.4 will push some incredible visuals, but it will come at a huge performance cost, which may force most players to turn down some settings, even on the best GPUs on the market. A new video shared on YouTube by MXBenchmarkPC shows a gorgeous Industrial Factory tech demo, which was recently ported to the latest version of the game development engine by Epic. While at 1440p resolution the GPU has no trouble running the demo at around 80/90 FPS in both daytime and nighttime scenarios, an RTX 4080 is unable to hit 60 FPS at native 4K […]
A new Unreal Engine 5.4 comparison video was shared online today, highlighting the differences in reflections quality over the previous version of the engine. The comparison video put together by JSFILMZ does a great job highlighting how the deprecated standalone ray tracing features, including ray-traced reflections, may impact quality. Using the same sequence with the same setting in a hardware accelerated scenario, JSFILMZ demonstrated how using the new Screen Traces option, which seems to use screen space reflections, results in worse reflections quality than in Unreal Engine 5.3 using ray-traced reflections. Unreal Engine 5.4 was officially released yesterday, introducing several […]
Unreal Engine 5 is increasingly the go-to option for current-gen development, and now, the latest version of Epic’s software is here. We got a taste of Unreal Engine 5.4 during last month’s State of Unreal GDC 2024 showcase, but now the software is in developers’ hands. From a player standpoint, the most exciting thing about Unreal Engine 5.4 are Epic’s promises of improved performance. If there’s one area UE5 has fallen short in, it’s performance, with many games built on the engine struggling on current-gen consoles and requiring wallet-destroying rigs to run well on PC. Unreal Engine 5.4 aims to […]
