How Nvidia’s DLSS 3 works (and why AMD FSR can’t catch up for now)

Nvidia’s RTX 40-series graphics cards are arriving in a few short weeks, but among all the hardware improvements lies what could be Nvidia’s golden egg: DLSS 3. It’s much more than just an update to Nvidia’s popular DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) feature, and it could end up defining Nvidia’s next generation much more than […]

That screen-tear and input-lag-smoothing technology will soon work with select monitors designed for VESA’s competing DisplayPort […]

Nvidia’s Shield TV gains Amazon Music streaming

Android set-top box Shield TV has already added Alexa and a fully-featured version of cloud game streaming service GeForce Now, but it’s making room for another significant update in the lead up to Christmas. Chief among the new additions is an Amazon Music app, which joins the growing list of music streaming platforms (Spotify, Google […]

Nvidia’s RTX cards could create a breakthrough for eye-tracked rendering

During the presentation of its GeForce RTX 2080 graphics cards last week, Nvidia spent most of its time on ray tracing. This is the high-end light modeling tech that could bring a new level of realism to games. But these new cards can do more than just ray tracing. One of the other potential standout […]

Watch NVIDIA’s Gamescom presentation in under 14 minutes

Earlier today at Gamescom, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang showed off its latest graphics cards, which are built on its new Turing architecture to be the company’s fastest GeForce cards ever. Moving on from teraflops, NVIDIA is now talking about GigaRays, which measure its ability to handle the ray tracing technology that will produce better lighting […]

NVIDIA’s Turing-powered GPUs are the first ever built for ray tracing

Earlier this year NVIDIA announced a new set of “RTX” features that included support for advanced ray tracing features, upgrading a graphics technique that simulates the way light works in the real world. It’s expected to usher in a new generation of hyper-realistic graphics but there was one small problem: no one made any hardware […]

AMD calls out NVIDIA’s partner program, G-Sync ‘gamer taxes’

A promotional push by NVIDIA has apparently tied up PC builders, and raised the ire of its competitor AMD. The current leader in the graphics card market, NVIDIA has apparently developed a GeForce Partner Program (GPP) that it claims exists to “ensure that gamers have full transparency into the GPU platform and software they’re being […]
