New advances in DirectX from Microsoft, AMD, and NVIDIA could revolutionize graphics tech and dramatically boost gaming performance and visual quality. Early testing has produced strong results, with AMD’s Radeon RX 9070 XT reportedly delivering up to a 50x performance increase and nearly 90% less ray tracing memory usage.

Hardware modification keeps uncovering possibilities that graphics card makers rarely explore. With each new generation of NVIDIA GPUs, hobbyists are finding ways to keep outdated hardware alive with novel tweaks. The latest example is particularly striking: the eight-year-old GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has received a major VRAM boost, leading to performance gains of up to…

The Demon #2 arrives Wednesday as Jason Blood struggles to unleash Etrigan against a Prince of Hell with a personal grudge against the demon.

AMD FSR 4.1 uses machine learning to improve image quality and create sharper visuals.

The GeForce RTX 5070 targets 1440p gaming, though demanding ray tracing can push its performance. The graphics card offers several options to keep frame rates playable, including DLSS, Ray Reconstruction, and Frame Generation. But 12GB of VRAM and insufficient processing power may be a hurdle in demanding current games.

AMD’s FSR 4.1 upscaling engine seems to be doing a decent job on older graphics hardware, potentially giving a big performance boost to GPUs based on the RDNA 2 architecture. Initial testing on the Radeon RX 6700 10GB shows the new upscaler can deliver better image quality than FSR 3 while improving frame rates.

Phantom Blade Zero is out now for everyone as a console exclusive on PlayStation 5 and on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store as well. If you missed it, it’s my favorite action game of the year so far, and you can read why in Game Informer’sPhantom Blade Zero review. That explains why I…

AMD FSR 4.1 is now available for select gaming handhelds, bringing improved image quality and updated upscaling technology to devices powered by the AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor. The update arrives test the latest technology in supported games

Graphics card prices, upscaling technology, and GPU availability continue to shape PC gamers’ plans for their next upgrade. The RTX 5090 is appearing at prices far above its launch MSRP, while AMD users are experimenting with Nvidia’s DLSS features through unofficial software. Meanwhile, Nvidia’s updated DLSS 5 model shows performance improvements, though some limitations remain.

A technology mostly associated with virtual reality is helping improve DLSS 5 performance on ultrawide monitors, VideoCardz reports.
