Hardcore Gamer: It’s not hard to find a portable device to play games on these days. Many people have no trouble using their smartphones for exactly that. Others prefer dedicated devices to achieve potentially better results. Enter the Lyra from Creoqode.
Discover how Sony Interactive Entertainment, Nintendo, and Microsoft continue to collaborate to improve player safety across our platforms.
NVIDIA rolled out the DLSS 4.5 update at CES last week, adding 2nd Gen Transformer-based Super Resolution technology for all RTX GPUs. The performance scaling varies wildly across the older (RTX 20/RTX 30) and newer (RTX 40/RTX 50) GeForce RTX lineups. We tested NVIDIA’s next-gen upscaling solution across Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, Oblivion Remastered, and KCD 2.
I've been surprised by this, the difference between 4 and 4.5 is very noticeable. It's almost completely or has removed that weird dark ghosting that you'd get in foggy games like Silent Hill 2... and Cyberpunk mixed with a high res texture pack is jaw dropping in ultra 4k.
Also if anyone doesn't know I recommend DLSS swapper, it allows you to inject the latest DLSS version into older games.
Quite amazing. But, this does probably mean devs will depend on ai even more for their supposed optimizations lol.
no offense to AMD, but this sort of stuff shows that they are always going to be playing catchup. I guess Nintendo can take advantage of some of these features.
With the Switch 2? NVidia can easily lock their proprietary tech to their latest GPUs and the Switch 2 will be stuck on 3.5 for 5 more years at least
4 and 4.5 are available on 2 and 3 series cards right now. The Switch GPU is based on 3 series architecture, meaning it has access to some of those features. Obviously not as much as the higher end cards, but still some.
"Better than native."
Native 4K in nearly all games nowadays is actually native resolution with forced temporal anti-aliasing.
TAA smears and blurs frames together to soften jagged edges.
Of course DLSS makes games look "better than native" because native alone without any competent AA methods makes games look horrible.
LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International have announced their first ever collection of LEGO Pokémon sets.
It's a cool device. And being based on a Raspberry Pi 3 will allow it to have multiple functions. However as a gaming machine I believe that the lack of a analog stick will really limite it's potential. It also a very expensive device, going for £149-179 on Kickstarter and even more after. And for a little more one can get a GPD XD+ that will be a far better option for gaming.
That said. I'm happy that we are seeing so many new handhelds being made this days.
Not going to buy any handhelds without full controller buttons and analogs. We moved past the not enough controls era for handhelds with the Switch.
