On Xbox consoles and PC, local sessions need only standard free Microsoft profiles. #Halo #Campaign #Evolved #PlayStation5 #PSPlus #Coop #Microsoft

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/v-me… DLSS support for the open NVIDIA NVK driver was added to the Mesa 26.2 codebase. This allows playing modern games on Linux systems. This feature implementation became possible by introducing the VK_NVX_binary_import extension. The tool is necessary for direct loading and executing compiled NVIDIA CuBIN binaries on GPUs. The option is hidden behind the NVK_EXPERIMENTAL=dlss variable due to bugs. Successful operation requires ready bytecode since there is no built-in format translator yet. #NVIDIA #NVK #Vulkan #DLSS #Mesa #Linux #CUDA

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/1… An enthusiast purchased a legendary ATI Radeon HD 4870 graphics card on a marketplace for only 11$. Initial tests revealed critical core temperatures reaching 96°C under workload. This severe overheating was caused by accumulated dust and completely dried factory thermal paste on the GPU die. To fix the thermal issue a complete teardown and heatsink cleaning were performed. After removing the hardened residue and applying new high-quality compound the card was retested in FurMark. The temperature dropped to 66°C showing a significant 30°C reduction while the fan efficiency improved. Paired with a Core 2 Duo processor clocked at 3.8GHz the card delivered great performance in classic games. In older titles like GTA San Andreas and Call of Duty 4 the frame rates stayed well above 70 FPS. Even in the demanding Crysis 1 the GPU managed to hit up to 60 FPS on high settings. #AMD #Radeon #ATI #RetroPC #Hardware #Gaming #Benchmarks

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/poka… Players recreated the debut Grand Theft Auto VI trailer on the Grand Theft Auto V engine using similar angles and situations. The published materials clearly demonstrate the difference in texture quality, character model design, and general virtual world detail when comparing key scenes. Both projects are based on the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine platform, but the next iteration demonstrates a serious technological step forward. The frames show significant improvement in global illumination algorithms, more complex object geometry, and a multiple increase in non-player character density. Part of the audience expresses certain concerns about the final performance of the upcoming release on base versions of modern consoles. It is suggested that hardware limitations may require compromises, and the engine potential will fully unfold with the release of the version for personal computers. #graphics #comparison #engine #technology #gaming #consoles #visuals

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/n… Microsoft has launched the public preview of DirectX Dump Files to simplify and standardize the GPU crash debugging process on Windows. The system captures structured files with a .dxdmp extension directly at the point of failure when a hardware timeout is detected. This integration provides developers with actionable data such as hardware state and Direct3D runtime context. To utilize this preview, developers must meet strict system requirements regarding the OS and drivers. The tool requires Windows 24H2, 25H2, or 26H1 with specific updates and enabled Developer Mode. Additionally, you need Agility SDK 1.721.1-preview, PIX 2606.18-preview, and supporting preview graphics drivers from hardware vendors like AMD, Intel, NVIDIA, or Qualcomm. This initial release focuses on gathering early feedback and is not yet intended for retail game deployment. Developers can toggle between different overhead tiers to balance performance and diagnostic fidelity during postmortem investigation. Microsoft expects to ship full retail support for this unified cross-vendor crash debugging solution in Fall 2026. #DirectX #Windows #Microsoft #PIX #AgilitySDK #GPU #CrashAnalysis

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/d… Users are counting down to the release of AMD FSR 4.1 image scaling technology for graphics cards based on the RDNA 3 architecture, with exactly 10 days left until the launch. The official release of the updated artificial intelligence based algorithm for the mass segment is scheduled for early July this year. Previously this graphics technology was an exclusive for the newest RDNA 4 models, but now developers have prepared a software layer to integrate the upscaler into the Radeon RX 7000 line. The difficulty of porting lay in the differences in chip microarchitecture, as new models use the FP8 computation format. To implement upscaling on Radeon RX 7000 cards, engineers had to rebuild the mathematical model for INT8 format integer data. This allowed the utilization of built-in hardware AI accelerators of RDNA 3 chips for graphics processing, which should solve the problem of image blurring and shimmering at low resolutions like 1080p, though performance hit on older chips might be higher. Developers promise improved frame stability compared to older algorithm versions that suffered from a grainy look. At the time of the July release, the technology will gain compatibility with a variety of current gaming projects via the SDK. Activation of the AI upscaler will also be available through a forced override function in the Adrenalin driver for projects supporting FSR 3.1, which will allow bypassing anti-cheat restrictions in modern games. #AMD #Radeon #FSR #RDNA3 #upscaler #gpu #gaming

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/bazo… Digital Foundry specialists analyzed new materials for Grand Theft Auto 6 and revealed the implementation of a hybrid rendering system. Experts noted high stability of building reflections on water but recorded a bug with the complete disappearance of a distant Ferris wheel from the bay surface. This is related to bounding volume hierarchy optimization for saving GPU resources. In our opinion, technical limitations of the base PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions will lead to a complete absence of ray tracing in the game. Developers will have to use standard rasterization for the sake of stable performance. The hybrid method combining rays and SSR will become available only on the more powerful PlayStation 5 Pro for processing short-distance objects. Full hardware ray tracing without strict limitations on draw distance will appear exclusively on next-generation platforms. Our forecast indicates that players will see the uncompromising graphic capabilities of the RAGE engine only on PlayStation 6 and the new Xbox. Before the release on current consoles developers will only partially tune artifact filtering. #gta6 #digitalfoundry #graphics #consoles #technology #videogames #gaming

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/mark… The economy of the new Path of Exile 2 season suffered from a critical flaw in the temple mechanics. Players learned to create endless chains of rooms in dungeons, which allowed them to illegitimately obtain massive volumes of valuable items and earn millions of in-game currency. The Grinding Gear Games studio had to urgently interrupt their Christmas holidays to release fixes. Development director Mark Roberts noted that this incident ruined his holidays, and the team introduced strict monitoring of dropping loot to prevent problems. Another method of exploiting the temple was discovered by the developers right during an interview with Roberts. The studio promptly released a fresh update fixing this vulnerability to protect market stability. #pathofexile2 #economy #bug #patch #exploit #games #grindinggeargames

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/khak… Ubisoft implements Denuvo protection in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced along with a limit of 5 activations per day. The project will require users to have a Ubisoft account and agree to a third-party EULA. The game may end up on torrents in the first hours after release or even before the official launch due to DRM vulnerabilities. Hackers plan to bypass the protection using hypervisor technology. Earlier a similar fate befell major releases Pragmata and Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight. The use of vulnerable versions of protection continues to cause criticism in the industry due to inefficiency against modern bypass methods. The use of hypervisors allows neutralizing Denuvo algorithms in the shortest possible time. The publisher has not yet commented on the vulnerability. #AssassinsCreed #Denuvo #Ubisoft #Crack #Torrent #Piracy #Games

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/sozd… The modern AAA video game industry is facing a serious crisis of management and a distinct loss of creative identity. Over the past 15 years most of the financial capital has consolidated into the hands of a minimal number of large companies. The new generation of executives has almost completely lost the mentality of previous gaming market leaders. Today the process of creating video games has become more focused on Excel spreadsheets rather than the creative passion of developers. Publishers demand the completion of impossible tasks from development teams in the post pandemic era. Quite often new teams are expected to produce analogues of The Witcher 3 with minimal funding and in less than 4 years. Small creative teams of the past possessed discipline and effectively developed innovative franchises. The current management of Eidos studio makes a high quality revival of the Deus Ex series highly unlikely. At the moment the industry suffers from overextended project scopes and a complete lack of proper stage gating during production. #games #gaming #industry #business #development #management #deusex

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/gran… Rockstar Games has published a new short video clip of Grand Theft Auto 6 featuring a night landscape of Vice City. Attentive specialists from Digital Foundry noticed a graphical quirk with a complete absence of a Ferris wheel reflection in the bay water against the detailed city panorama. The developers are utilizing a hybrid rendering method based on the RAGE engine. The issue with the Ferris wheel is related to the optimization of the bounding volume hierarchy which temporarily excludes distant objects from calculation to reduce the overall GPU load. The technology provides a stable display of dynamic objects without flickering at the screen edges. Traditional screen space reflections play only a supporting role and the visual flaw with the geometry noticed by experts will probably be fixed by the official release. #gtavi #rockstargames #vicecity #graphics #videogames #gaming #technology
