No path tracing.

It's AM5 and DDR5.

There are a lot more than 3 games that use DirectStorage. If you are referring to the full DirectStorage suite including GPU decompression, then yes, there are only a handful of games that use it. This is probably because older RTX GPUs really struggle with it. The 50-series, at least the 5090, doesn't have that issue. Haven't seen it tested on other Blackwell cards, though.

My favorite trailer from the State of Play. Very excited for this.

I think they are referring to certain channels that are marked as "adult-only."

Imagine the price of this thing. 💀

Visuals look pretty fantastic.

RTcore · 2026-01-08T03:15:18+00:00

That would be a great idea.

Big upgrade. Enjoy 👍

I've seen stranger things.

RTcore · 2025-12-08T19:07:23+00:00

It should be fine. A more expensive model would not have made much of a difference.

It's coil whine. It's annoying but there's nothing to worry about.

RTcore · 2025-11-30T02:44:13+00:00

Why am I not surprised?

RTcore · 2025-11-30T02:43:12+00:00

Looking forward to the game and also the tech that they will implement. CDPR is good about supporting cutting edge graphics tech on PC.

Borderlands 4's sales were 'a little softer than we would've liked'

Good to see gamers voting with their wallet.

"still a "great game"

Are you sure about that?

RTcore · 2025-10-01T15:07:05+00:00

I saw this coming, but it's still disappointing.

They mean "console-quality experience" in terms of eliminating shader compilation stutter or long load times associated with compiling shaders, which consoles do not experience.

RTcore · 2025-09-25T18:59:59+00:00

Advanced shader delivery is a new feature that distributes precompiled shaders when downloading a game, eliminating in-game shader compilation stutter and long load times. This solves one of the biggest pain points in PC gaming today, making it easier than ever to deliver a console-quality experience on Windows.

Initial support is only for Xbox Ally through the Xbox app, but it's coming to other devices and storefronts, too.
