Faraday Protocol Is a Sci-Fi First-Person Puzzler Coming to Consoles & PC in August

It’s hard to believe that it’s been a whole ten years since Portal 2 launched, and despite a handful of excellent entries into the genre – like The Turing Test and The Talos Principle, for example – it’s fair to say that the amount of top-notch first-person puzzlers to come out since Valve’s critically acclaimed classic can probably be counted on one hand. We may be about to add another one to the list, however, with Faraday Protocol. That’s right, Italian developer Red Koi Box and German publisher Deck13 have

By leveraging the full power of high-end PC hardware, 4A Games has created experienced that hold up, years later. Back in 2010, Metro 2033 at its highest settings barely ran on flagship graphics cards like the GeForce GTX 480. Its extensive use of DirectX 11 features like hardware tessellation gave these parts a thorough workout, and made 60 FPS gaming a distant dream for next-gen

How Would a Potential Supersampling Feature Help the PS5 and Xbox Series X?

Ever since NVIDIA introduced its Turing GPU lineup, featuring both hardware accelerated ray-tracing and AI-based DLSS upscaling, AMD’s been on the back foot, hard at work building feature parity into both high-end PC hardware and the next-gen consoles. With the RDNA2 architecture, AMD’s implemented hardware accelerated ray-tracing on both consoles via its Ray Accelerator (RA) modules. This means that, in games like Metro Exodus where ray-tracing is an option, AMD hardware (at least technically) can offer feature parity. This is just one half of the equation, and the reason NVIDIA

Cryptocurrency Mining Could Kill Traditional PC Gaming

This is excellent news. Since the GPU market is currently so hot, it is now better to consider old reliable cards like the R9 290 or R9 290X if gamers are backed up in the corner.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Remastered PS5 vs PS4 Graphics Analysis – Solid, if Not Extraordinary

The 2018 Spider-Man game arrived relatively late in the PlayStation 4’s life cycle. The PlayStation 4 Pro was already a mature product and the rumour mill was abuzz about the ninth-generation consoles that were set to launch in a couple of years. First party developer Insomniac Games leveraged their experience working with Sony hardware — these are the people who delivered the Resistance and Ratchet and Clank series – so at this point they are a technical force to reckon with. From the effortless gameplay and rock-solid performance to the

NVIDIA’s RTX 3000 cards make counting teraflops pointless

Sponsored Links Teraflops have been a popular way to measure "graphical power" for years. The term refers to the number of calculations a GPU can perform, but while it’s been on spec sheets forever, more recently the teraflop has gone mainstream, appearing in marketing messages found in the launch of consoles like the Xbox Series X. With GPU core counts reaching five figures, it’s nice to have a simple point of comparison. Unfortunately, teraflops have never been less useful.The term teraflop comes from FLOPs, or "floating-point operations per second," which
