(hx) 12:26 AM CET - Dec,04 2021 - Post a comment
Archosaur Games has released a cross-platform teaser video using Unreal Engine 5 that was premiered today at the annual Unreal Open Day. This 45-second teaser tech video shows players for the first time what a next-gen cross-platform game will look like using UE5. This tech video uses Lumen, dynamic effects, and realistic details. According to the team, this tech video is equal to and in some cases, even surpasses that of the biggest titles for PC and console.


In addition to the unnamed cross-platform UE5 game that Archosaur premiered in the video, the company also showed off its upcoming MMORPG UE4 title, Noah’s Heart. Noah’s Heart features a Steampunk seamless open world and will start the first testing on December 21st. And, although Noah’s Heart is an Android/iOS game, PC gamers can use emulators in order to play it on PC.

NVIDIA GeForce 497.09 WHQL Driver released - tech
(hx) 12:34 AM CET - Dec,02 2021 - Post a comment
NVIDIA today released the GeForce 497.09 Game Ready drivers. These introduce launch-day optimization for "Icarus," including support for NVIDIA DLSS, and RTX ray-traced global illumination (RTX-GI). The drivers also add optimization for 'Chorus,' including DLSS support; and "Halo Infinite." Six new displays receive NVIDIA G-SYNC support. Among the fixes released with these drivers are TDR or system crashes with 'DOOM Eternal' and RDR2, a display corruption with ye olde 'DOOM 3 BFG Edition,' extreme gamma/contrast issues with YouTube on hardware-accelerated web-browsers; NVIDIA Image Scaling resolutions not correctly appearing in-game after a driver update; and incompatibilities between Adaptive Sync and G-SYNC. A curious addition with these drivers is support for the GeForce RTX 2060 12 GB graphics card. We've been hearing reports of NVIDIA resurrecting the RTX 2060 "Turing" with 12 GB of GDDR6 memory to target the 1080p gaming crowd; and these drivers confirm it. The 12 GB SKU could be achieved by pairing the "TU106" GPU with 12 GB of memory across its 192-bit wide memory interface.

GeForce RTX 3050 rumored to be faster than GTX 1660 SUPER - tech
(hx) 12:24 AM CET - Nov,29 2021 - Post a comment / read (2)
The chaps over at Videocardz.com have learned some new details on the upcoming RTX 3050 series. The new information comes from the same source that told them about RTX 2060 12GB weeks in advance before any such rumors appeared elsewhere.
A graphics card which is internally referred to as PG190 SKU 70 will feature GA106-150 GPU. It was indeed rumored to be RTX 3050 Ti, but our source now believes it is actually the non-Ti model. We were also told that it might feature 8GB memory, but we couldn’t verify this claim with other sources, which is why it is marked as ‘to be confirmed’ in the charts below.

As we were told, the GeForce RTX 3050 is to have higher performance than GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER, but still lower than RTX 2060 12GB, which is launching next month. What this means is that the card will not compete with Radeon RX 6600 series, but rather the rumored RX 6500XT which is to launch in the first quarter of 2022. Additionally, we also have Intel Arc A128 (rumored SKU name) coming a bit later.

The RTX 3050 isn’t the only new card on internal roadmaps, NVIDIA is also planning RTX 3090 Ti, RTX 3080 12GB, and RTX 3070 Ti 16GB models, all expected to launch early next year. The chart also lists board and SKU numbers (some of them were never published before), which should help you keep track of all these new cards

This $5000 Graphics Card Can't Game - tech
(hx) 05:20 PM CET - Nov,25 2021 - Post a comment / read (1)
Linus Tech Tips got a chance to test a CMP 170HX, a high-end cryptomining card from NVIDIA. In fact, unlike other CMP HX models, this card was actually manufactured by NVIDIA themselves. It's a headless graphics card with a large copper heatsink enclosed in a large aluminum shroud. The card does not have any fans, as it relies on server chassis cooling. The card is equipped with GA100-105F GPU, which is a cut-down version of the processor used by NVIDIA A100 SXM or PCIe data-center accelerators.


The video from Linus Sebastian confirms that the card is not recognized by any software out of the box, in fact, there aren't even any public drivers available for this SKU. The resale value of this card is actually not very high considering it does not work with anything other than mining. As an example, despite listing CUDA capability, it is not even capable of rendering with CUDA kernel in Blender. Furthermore, any gaming API support has been removed, so no Vulkan or DirectX API support for potential cloud or virtual machine gaming either.

The CMP 170HX GA100 GPU is equipped with 4480 CUDA cores and 8GB HBM2e memory - a significant downgrade compared to A100 which features 6912 cores and up to 80GB memory. The CMP model obviously does not require such a large memory buffer, because the current DAG file for Ehtereum mining is still under 5GB. And speaking of mining, the card does not have many tunning options available, but users can still adjust the power limit, which visibly improves efficiency from 250W to 200W almost with the same hash rate (~165 MH/s for Ethereum).

Windows 11 Enterprise virtual machine - free - tech
(hx) 11:59 AM CET - Nov,23 2021 - Post a comment / read (1)
Microsoft has made no fanfare about it, but the company has made available a virtual machine based on Windows 11 Enterprise that developers -- or anyone else -- can install and use free of charge. A few days ago, Microsoft updated a page in the Windows Dev Center to include download links for Windows 11 VMs for VMWare, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and Parallels. The development environments have been designed to help users "start building Windows applications quickly" but they could be put to other uses instead.

Although Microsoft has updated the virtual machine so it is now based on Windows 11, the page title still refers to the previous version of the operating system. On the page entitled "Get a Windows 10 development environment", four separate VMs are available, each weighing in at around 20GB.

Microsoft shares details of what is included in the virtual machines, which are due to expire on 01/09/22 (although it is possible that this date will be extended when the page is fully updated):

Window 11 Enterprise (evaluation)
Windows 10 SDK, version 2004 (10.0.19041.0)
Visual Studio 2019 (latest as of 10/09/21) with the UWP, .NET desktop, and Azure workflows enabled and also includes the Windows Template Studio extension
Visual Studio Code (latest as of 10/09/21)
Windows Subsystem for Linux enabled with Ubuntu installed
Developer mode enabled
Windows Terminal installed

You can download the virtual machines directly from Microsoft here. On the page you will find download links for  VMWare, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and Parallels versions of the VM.

First Look At New DDR5 Memory - tech
(hx) 10:27 PM CET - Oct,31 2021 - Post a comment / read (1)
Intel's latest 12th gen Alder Lake micro-architecture brings cutting-edge next-gen features that include PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 / LPDDR5 memory support. Essentially Alder Lake's integrated memory controller (IMC) is ready for the fifth generation of double data rate (DDR) SDRAM but it is also compatible with last-gen DDR4 as well. As default spec, Intel states that the Alder Lake-S desktop CPUs would work with DDR5-4800 and DDR4-3200, but higher speeds should work fine too. Although both DDR4 and DDR5 memory standards have the same 288 pin count, the pinout and keying are different which means the 600-series chipset-based motherboards accompanying Alder Lake-S, will come in two flavors as motherboard vendors will offer both DDR5 and DDR4 variants. The most obvious advantage for having DDR5 memory over DDR4 is the higher speed and the additional memory bandwidth which will be on offer. This means that choosing DDR5 memory will be especially beneficial to workloads that are bandwidth-sensitive, like gaming using integrated graphics, file compression, photo editing, video encoding and transcoding, among others.

AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 21.10.4 Released - tech

The company also identified driver-timeout issues affecting the game on machines with RX 5500 XT, which it may fix in a future driver release. No other bug-fixes are part of this release, which makes it closer to a "hotfix" in nature.

Fixed Issues

  • Visual corruption may be observed while playing Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy on some AMD Graphics products such as Radeon RX 6800 Graphics.
Known Issues
  • During Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy gameplay, some users may experience driver timeouts on some AMD Graphics products such as Radeon RX 5500 XT Graphics. A temporary workaround is to disable the Radeon Anti-Lag feature in Radeon Software.

Overclocked Intel Core i9-12900K outperforms Ryzen 9 5950X - tech
(hx) 09:35 PM CEST - Oct,20 2021 - Post a comment / read (10)
According to the screenshot from the CPU-Z benchmark, the Core i9-12900K scored 851 points in the single-thread test and 11987 points in the multi-thread. This is just a small fraction higher than previously reported results, but it is the first time the CPU has outperformed stock Ryzen 9 5950X in the multi-thread test. To achieve these results, the leaker overclocked all Golden Cove/Performance/Big cores to 5.2 GHz while he kept Gracemont/Efficient/Atom/Small cores at stock 3.7 GHz. Intel 12th Gen Core series features a new overclocking setting that will allow users to modify the clocks for each type of core, in this case only the big cores were modified. The leaker claims that the Core i9-12900K with a clock speed of 5.2 GHz and voltage of 1.385V has a power consumption of 330W, which is 2.64x more than the ‘stock’ PL1 value of 125W. Unfortunately, no proof of this power use has been provided.

There is also a video from other Bilibili creators: creators: 結城安穗-YuuKi_AnS and bo啵啵猫, who made a video showcasing their engineering sample up close. They reiterate previously leaked results in their own charts comparing the i9-12900K to the current flagship from 11th Gen series i9-11900K and AMD Zen3 flagship Ryzen 9 5950X.

Unfortunately, neither the motherboard model nor the memory technology used (DDR5 or DDR4) is shown in the screenshots. However, we can quite clearly see that the CPU-Z software correctly reads the specifications and the CPU name string from this engineering sample. While the S-Spec string has been scratched off, we can guess that this actually the same sample that has already been pictured by YuuKi_AnS earlier this month. The Core i9-12900K QX7H sample boosts up to 5.0 GHz with a maximum boost reported at 5.1 GHz, but it is expected that the retail/qualification sample will have a maximum boost up to 5.3 GHz. The CPU is a 16-core and 24-thread hybrid processor featuring 8 Golden Cove/Performance/Big cores and 8 Gracemont/Efficient/Small cores, representing the flagship specification from all Alder Lake silicon that is expected to launch. Intel is now confirmed to launch its 12th Gen Core series on November 4th. The launch will include six K and KF-Series SKUs along with Intel Z690 based motherboards.

A lot of monitors, particularly gaming ones, come with DP or HDMI cables. I’d like to see if the cables that are shipped with high end monitors can really support the product that you buy.
