You can argue about upscaling technologies, but NVIDIA is pushing through its DLSS 4 program unwaveringly. Over 100 games and applications have now joined the list, and the next software trick is already waiting in the wings with Neural Shading for DirectX. DLSS 4: More games, better upscaling, but not for everyone NVIDIA is celebrating [...]
It’s a familiar game: New upscaling technology is presented, big promises are made – and in the end, the whole thing is exclusive to the latest GPUs. With FSR 4, AMD has painted itself into exactly this corner and only released the feature for the Radeon RX 9000 series. Older cards? Tough luck. NVIDIA or Intel GPUs? Not a chance. But [...]
AMD has done it again: Just in time for the market launch of the RX 9070 series, Adrenalin 25.3.1 provides the right software foundation. In addition to the new GPUs, some Krackan Point and Fire Range APUs are also supported so that users can get started right away – provided they are prepared to deal with a few known quirks. New hardware [...]
The launch of the NVIDIA RTX 50 series was anything but smooth. In addition to delivery problems and reports of overheating graphics cards, there were also driver problems which meant that users only saw a black screen when starting their PC if the monitor was connected via DisplayPort. In addition, the lack of ROPs (Render Output Units) caused [...]
NVIDIA will soon be bringing its new Smooth Motion technology to the GeForce RTX 40 series. The function should make it possible to activate additional intermediate frame generation in games, even if DLSS is not supported. NVIDIA is thus providing an alternative to AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames. NVIDIA confirms Smooth Motion for RTX 40 GPUs [...]
NVIDIA has released the latest version of its GeForce Game Ready drivers. Version 572.16 brings official support for the new RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards as well as numerous optimizations and bug fixes. New features and improvements The new driver adds support for DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation to over 75 games and applications [...]
AMD continues its foray into the world of upscaling technologies with the latest version of FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR). FSR 4, which was recently unveiled at CES 2025, promises better visual quality, fewer artifacts and reduced ghosting effects. However, one major limitation remains: The technology is only available for RDNA 4 GPUs. FSR 3.1 [...]
MSI has released a new BIOS update for its AMD 800 series mainboards. The AGESA 1.2.0.3a Patch A is intended to improve the compatibility of single- (1R) and dual-rank (2R) DDR5 memory modules. The update is currently only available for the B850 mainboards, while X870 and X870E models are to follow shortly. However, Igor has already tested a beta [...]
With the introduction of the RTX-50 series, NVIDIA has unveiled the next evolutionary stage of AI-supported image enhancement: DLSS 4.0. The central innovation here is the Multi-Frame Generation (MFG), which promises a significant leap in frame rates compared to the previous frame generation in DLSS 3. NVIDIA has now indicated that future versions [...]
With a new security update, NVIDIA has fixed several vulnerabilities in its graphics drivers that could have potentially led to data leaks and system compromises. In particular, two vulnerabilities classified as “high”, which pose significant risks to users, have been closed. Focus on critical security vulnerabilities The most serious [...]
NVIDIA has officially announced support for DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation for 75 games and applications. With this new technology, both current blockbuster titles and older games will benefit from a significant performance boost. The supported games include Alan Wake 2, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, Cyberpunk 2077, God of War Ragnarök and [...]
NVIDIA has officially announced an updated version of the DLSS frame generation for the GeForce RTX 40 series. This optimization results in lower VRAM consumption and improves overall performance. Originally introduced with DLSS 3.0, the frame generation has been continuously developed and reaches a new level of efficiency with the latest version [...]
AMD showcased the latest iteration of its upscaling technology, FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4), along with the upcoming RDNA 4 GPU series at CES 2025. The focus was on demonstrating advances over the previous version, FSR 3.1, with particular emphasis on the Radeon RX 9070 GPUs. The optimizations should offer a noticeable improvement in [...]
The Intel Arc B580 12GB is not a workstation graphics card, I know, but I’ve decided not to chase after the 1001st supplement to the 1000 gaming benchmarks and YouTube videos that have already been published, because the added value is limited. For me, the readers and also Intel’s driver team, who should add a few things to their [...]
According to reports, the new “NVIDIA App” is causing performance drops of up to 15 percent in games for some users. This problem appears to be related to the “Game Filters” function. NVIDIA has confirmed the problem and is working on a solution. Background to the NVIDIA app With the introduction of the new NVIDIA app, the [...]
NVIDIA has discovered several serious vulnerabilities in its graphics drivers that increase the risk of attacks on systems using GeForce GPUs and professional graphics cards. These vulnerabilities affect not only GeForce and RTX series gaming GPUs, but also workstation and professional models such as Quadro, NVS and Tesla. The affected drivers [...]
The gaming landscape is constantly evolving, and with it the demands on graphics cards. Super-resolution technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR and Intel XeSS have become an important tool for improving image quality in games without compromising performance. Microsoft has now introduced DirectSR, a new technology designed to simplify the [...]
In a significant move to strengthen Linux support for future graphics products, AMD has integrated major updates for its RDNA 4 and RDNA 3 GPUs into the latest Linux graphics drivers, reports Phoronix. These updates bring both performance enhancements and new features, laying the foundation for optimal support of the next generation of AMD [...]
The MESA RADV Vulkan driver makes it possible: Hardware-accelerated H.264/H.265 encoding for AMD GPUs brings smooth video streaming and faster content creation, according to our colleagues at Phoronix. Fast H.264/H.265 encoding with RADV under Linux MESA’s open source RADV Vulkan driver for AMD GPUs has received a significant update that [...]
AMD has announced that it will release parts of its ROCm software stack and hardware documentation as open source in a future update.
