    Monster Hunter Wilds Tops February and 2025-to-Date Sales Charts Simultaneously

    Bought and played this game after more than 15 years last entries played Tri on Wii. I agree game could be more polished, but on bright side they made it casual and enjoyable, I don't need more chores after my 60hrs long / week job :D

    VESA Adds New Performance Levels to ClearMR and DisplayHDR True Black Standards

    I don't see this will make it easier for customers to buy what they actually understand, for example True Black 400 HDR Display is now the lowest standard replacing HDR 400. Any 10-bit IPS panel with wide color gamut with garbage RGB can be sold as True Black 400, and most people will think it's...

    What DLSS/FSR Upscaling Mode do you use?

    I vote native and always be, if only AA temporal available I would also turn image sharpening on. In my opinion the other 4 options are a bit redundant, they are all in the same scam just have different names. Say what you want about upscaling, or other more superior upscaling, I've done my...

    Oh boy, what a monster. And when 9950X3D arrives, it should be

    Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Now Available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC

    Honestly Inquisition isn't that bad, enjoyed hundred of hours playing, it just not same ballpark as Origins. Other games are meh at best, and this game will be Bioware's graveyard.

    AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Comes with 120W TDP, 5.20 GHz Boost, All Specs Leaked

    I predicted uplift could be quite noticeable, ~15% in gaming and around ~10% in productivity task. Seems too optimistic but I had no choice after selling my 7800X3D at profit :D

    Next-Gen GPUs: Pricing and Raster 3D Performance Matter Most to TPU Readers

    It's funny someone said that current artificial feature is the future, when in fact it is only a small part of post processing. I humbly remind you that there are 2 global processes, yeah I kinda oversimplified, namely rendering pipeline and post processing. Ray tracing is just post processing...

    Intel Core Ultra 9 285K

    New name...check New socket...check Performance regression...check One off generation...check Expensive...check With so many box ticked, I bet everyone on LGA 1700 will rush to migrate.

    Quick Denuvo DRM Cracks Cost Game Publishers 20% in Revenue, According to Study

    it's not just DRM that affects piracy and game sales, it's ideology being forced upon us, atrocious microtransactions, poor performance for barely anything different, region locks, bad translations, over censorship, bad scenarios almost like cheap nut shot, bad characters, stupid AI all wrapped...

    MSI OCLab Reveals Ryzen 9000X3D 11-13% Faster Than 7000X3D, AMD Set to Dominate "Arrow Lake" in Gaming

    Not surprising, at least to me. I guess we "should" get used to such small increment, hey at least is not a regression :D I'll wait for the review, if the 9800X3D can improve efficiency, I might upgrade, after all it's just a drop in :rolleyes:

    Next-Gen GPUs: What Matters Most to You?

    I was going pick Energy Efficiency but then I realized I hate upscaling so I went Raster Performance. Despite the hype, buzzing going forward or whatever, I hate temporary or even blurrier fast approximates. It's mind-boggling to think that today's $900 card needs stretcher while a $300 card...

    Qualcomm Said to Have Approached Intel About Takeover Bid

    I don't see this deal passing scrutiny without any probe in the US, EU or even other regions. Also wonder why Qualcomm would offer the deal, Intel has used their defibrillator many times including the Chip Act oxygen, buying Intel would only severe them no matter how much money Qualcomm has. If...
