Oxide Games have unleashed their eagerly anticipated Ashes of the Singularity, a real time strategy title where tens of thousands of units can battle each other across huge battlefields. Ashes of the Singularity also represents the first chance for gamer’s to see how DirectX 12 compares to DirectX 11 in an actual game environment,.

A set of benchmarks said said to be from the Skylake-s flagship I7-6700K processor have emerged, comparing it to Intel’s own I7-4790K Devil Canyon. As we’ve covered in the past, the 6700K and the 6600K will both be launched August 5th (during Gamescon), kick-starting both Skylake and the Z170 chipset based motherboards. The setup.

I must confess that over the past few years, I’ve found the CPU market to be considerably less interesting than the fast paced and rapidly changing GPU market; and for a number of reasons. Until recently, games have relied heavily on just a single core for performance – which is changing now Mantle is.

Microsoft are from done when it comes to squeezing performance out of their Xbox One system, and are currently recruiting a Software Engineer who will be working in Microsoft’s Advanced Technology Group (ATG) to optimize the Xbox One’s graphical capabilities. ATG were instrumental in supporting the Xbox 360 too, and now the team have.

Well, this pot has been bubbling for a while, and now it’s finally come to the boil. We have confirmation regarding the Intel Skylake-S Processors and their specifications. You may remember that we covered some rumored specs a while ago, well, thanks to Intel’s roadmap, pretty much all of those details have been confirmed.and.

It’s fair to say there hasn’t been an interesting CPU release since Intel introduced the Sandybridge range of processors, instead, we’ve had to put up with smaller increments and advancements – particularly in the IGP or reduced power consumption. Intel’s Skylake is getting closer, but what about team AMD, who’ve been somewhat behind Intel’s.

Rockstar has released a patch for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5 pretty sharpish, and it sorts out quite a few things. Namely, though, it fixes those pesky installation issues and the issue where the installer would drain your CPU like a vampire and crash. The full platter of fixes is more.

Although I’m in danger of repeating myself a little, there’s a lot of excitement in the air for Microsoft’s DirectX 12 and for good reason too. The new API has a lot of benefits over the old guard (DX11), including far greater multi-threading support, increased draw calls, large performance improvements and also improved compute.

This summer, Microsoft have something planned for the Xbox One – something big. You might recall the many rumors Microsoft have been planning on opening up the Xbox One’s infrastructure for Cross-Platform applications, but just when that would happen, or would it would mean for the Xbox One is something of a mystery. Way.

When the hacker group H4LT leaked the Xbox One’s SDK and its accompanying documentation, we gamer’s and journalists were given a fantastic insight of the hardware and software Microsoft’s Xbox One is comprised of. When the the Xbox One’s SDK leak first hit, gaming news headlines primarily focused their attentions on the revelation the.

If you’ve been reading into the hardware of both the Xbox One and the Playstation 4, you’ll know the two consoles share a very similar CPU architecture. Both utilize eight AMD’s Jaguar CPU’s, with the only real difference between them being the clock speed they’re running the CPU’s in. Microsoft’s Xbox One has a.

PC Gaming comes in a variety of different budgets, from our cheaper $750 gaming rig to the bleeding edge pixel pushing monster focused on 4K gaming. Clearly, such a rich budget isn’t for everyone, but if you can afford it you’ll be in PC gaming nirvana. While the 750 dollar machine can decimate 1080P.

When it comes to Sony’s strategies for console optimization, ICE Team are the ones usually in the lime light. But in reality, there are other teams also responsible for producing the tools, strategies and optimizations to improve the systems performance over the long haul. ICE Team typically work on API related ‘stuff’, including GPU.

The subject of both the Playstation 4 and Xbox One’s CPU’s has taken a slight backseat compared to chatter regarding their GPU and memory performance. There are likely a few reasons for this, the first is the GPU and memory configurations between the two next generation consoles is a great deal different than their.
