Intel Arc G3 might finally challenge AMD's hegemony in handheld gaming, and I'm here for it
… Now, these are modest figures, but when paired with Xe3's substantially improved efficiency, this could matter a great deal for battery and airflow-constrained handhelds, especially since Xe3 delivers roughly 50% better GPU performance and 40% better performance-per-watt when benchmarked against Xe… …
These old gaming CPUs are costing you frames you didn't know you were losing
… The 9600K is also permanently tethered to PCIe 3.0 on aging Z390 motherboards, leading to another situation where pairing a beefy GPU would be futile. Even if you have a modern RTX 50-series or RX 9000-series GPU, your experience will almost certainly be crippled by a massive CPU bottleneck. …
I tested DLSS 4.5 against FSR Redstone, and I don't believe anyone who says they can tell them apart
… In some titles, DLSS pulled slightly ahead, in others FSR did, and the margins were small enough that they're within the noise of normal benchmark variance. …
Linux gamers didn't do anything wrong, but they might pay for Windows piracy anyway
… The openness of the platform, the variance between distributions, and the level of user control over the kernel all work against it. …
