Researchers at the University of California and Intel have developed a complex algorithm that leverages AI and some clever routines to extrapolate new frames, with claims of lower input latency than current frame generation methods, all while retaining good image quality. There’s no indication that Intel is planning to implement the system for its Arc…

AMD has announced its FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) development kit of upscaling and frame generation tools has been added to GPUOpen and GitHub, almost nine months after launching the technology. This means anyone can view the source code for the routines, experiment with it to see how it works and implement the features…

With AMD dominating the handheld PC market, thanks to the Ryzen 7 7840U APU, it was only a matter of time before somebody decided to give Intel a try. That someone just so happens to be OneXPlayer, a brand that has a pretty decent track record with handhelds, such as the great OneXFly. It’s just…

One of the glorious things about being a PC owner is the fact that the only limits to what you do with your gaming machine are your imagination and size of your bank balance. Some may desire to turn the simple box into an explosion of light and colour, whereas others may hark for something…

The PlayStation 5 celebrated its third birthday last month, with Sony marking the event by releasing a chassis refresh (aka the unofficially named PS5 Slim). With that all out of the way, the interwebs rumour network is now in ‘PS5 Pro’ mode and there’s much talk about what the beefier model will have inside its…

With the expected launch of Intel’s Meteor Lake architecture being just around the corner, benchmark scores are getting leaked left, right, and centre. A 3DMark Time Spy test for a Core 7 Ultra 155H puts it slightly faster than AMD’s Ryzen Z1 Extreme, which is used in lots of handheld gaming devices. Given that they…

With its second birthday barely a month away, news that Nvidia is purportedly going to discontinue the GeForce RTX 3050 isn’t surprising, as eventually all GPUs get replaced. But the rumour here is an odd one, as it contends a ‘new’ RTX 3050 will be introduced, with less VRAM and with a much lower power…

It’s been nearly four years since Nvidia’s original GeForce RTX 3060 first launched and despite the extra technology advancements brought in by the Ada Lovelace architecture, the evergreen mid-range card is still a popular choice. And now it looks like third-party vendors will keep on churning out new RTX 3060 models, with lower prices, thanks…

At this year’s New York Times Dealbook Summit, essentially a series of interviews with mega-wealthy CEOs, Jen-Hsun Huang of Nvidia was asked about why he constantly feels that his company may one day bite the dust. “I don’t think people are trying to put me out of business—I probably know they’re trying to,” he said.…

Hunting for hardware news sometimes takes you places you’ve never been before or shows you things that will forever be etched in your mind. Our superchiefintendo Dave pointed me to this one and well, you can’t deny that it’s definitely a thing. What you’ve got is a wireless headset that’s been modded to sport a…
