en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/nov… A new gameplay modification for the PC version of Resident Evil 5 drastically overhauls the original character movement and mechanics. The project brings modern franchise standards to the classic action game by introducing smooth and free navigation across all environments. The main gameplay upgrade is full 360 degree movement along with the ability to aim and shoot while walking. Players are no longer forced to stand completely still during combat encounters, which significantly speeds up the battle pacing and offers tactical mobility. The updated control scheme functions smoothly with both keyboard and mouse setups as well as standard gamepads. Fans have praised the project and are already requesting a similar movement overhaul for Resident Evil 4. #ResidentEvil5 #ResidentEvil #Capcom #PCGaming #Gaming #Mods #VideoGames

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… Sony has officially discontinued its last standalone Ultra HD Blu-ray player, the UBP-X700/K model, in Japan. This strategic decision effectively marks the complete exit of the major Japanese manufacturer from the domestic consumer market for dedicated 4K disc playback hardware. The discontinuation of shipments and retail distribution was officially confirmed on October 22 through authorized sales channels. This versatile device had remained the very last dedicated standalone home entertainment player of its kind within the company's regional product portfolio. Following this formal market exit, the PlayStation 5 gaming console equipped with an optical disc drive becomes the only active proprietary hardware capable of reading physical Ultra HD discs. #Sony #Bluray #UHD #4K #Electronics #Japan #Tech

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… Hardware benchmark analysis reveals a massive computing gap in INT8 operations between current gaming platforms. The updated Sony system achieves an impressive 300 TOPS, which outperforms the Xbox Series X at 48.6 TOPS and the Xbox Series S at 16 TOPS by a tremendous margin. This computational advantage stems directly from dedicated neural hardware inside the newer platform. Competing consoles utilize standard compute units without tensor acceleration for running machine learning tasks. Massive inference capability enables advanced reconstruction algorithms and next-generation upscalers to process high-resolution frames with stable framerates across demanding modern titles. #PlayStation #Xbox #PS5Pro #Hardware #Gaming #Technology #Console

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… AMD is developing an upgraded machine learning denoiser named FSR Ray Regeneration 2.0. The next revision improves neural inference pipelines across complex lighting workloads to deliver superior visual fidelity. The main objective of the new algorithm is reducing processing overhead. Earlier implementations often caused measurable drops in base frame rates, while the updated architecture focuses on efficiency and sustained high performance. The new technology addresses ghosting and temporal artifacts across dynamic scenes with sparse ray budgets. Proper deployment requires modern hardware, the Windows 11 platform, and DirectX 12 development environments. #AMD #FSR #RDNA #Radeon #RayTracing #Hardware #PCGaming

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… A resident of London ordered a brand new PowerColor Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card worth £450 on the Temu platform and selected the restaurant where he worked as the delivery address. The Amazon courier simply dropped the retail box on the floor near the entrance without entering the venue. The expensive product completely lacked any outer protective packaging, and the carrier placed the shipping barcode label directly onto the front side of the original container. The restaurant employee managed to retrieve the fragile parcel in time only because of an accidental delivery alert on his smartphone. Subsequent hardware tests later confirmed that the purchased graphics card was completely genuine and fully operational. #news #hardware #gpu #delivery #amazon #temu #tech

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… Radeon RX 6000 users tested AMD FSR 4.1.2 on an RX 6900 XT through OptiScaler in The Witcher 3 and The Last of Us Part I. Testing used 4K output upscaled from 1080p in Performance mode. The new official build was compared with the modified FSR 4.1.1b version. In The Witcher 3, performance rose from 59.5 to 62.3 FPS, a 4.7% gain. Frame time fell from 16.81 to 16.05 ms, while upscaling processing time dropped from 3.98 to 3.03 ms, a reduction of around 24%. This reduced the workload on the graphics card during upscaling. FSR 4.1.2 also reduced flickering on wires, fences and vegetation. The lighter INT8 Lite profile could deliver further FPS gains with a minor loss of detail. These results come from community testing and do not confirm official RDNA 2 support. #AMD #FSR4 #RDNA2 #Radeon #RX6900XT #OptiScaler #Gaming

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… Secondary market sellers are currently listing used GeForce RTX 5080 graphics cards at prices noticeably higher than new retail stock. A pre-owned card with physical defects was put up for sale at 2750 Canadian $(around 1990$ US), while brand new units remain available in major retail chains for roughly 2400 Canadian $(around 1730$ US). Market participants attribute this markup to unrealistic seller expectations, high service fees on auction platforms, and buyers who do not check official inventory. Regional hardware shortages also push international buyers to bid on global listings. Speculation is further fueled by rumors that 16 GB models may be replaced by 24 GB versions aimed at artificial intelligence processing workloads. #hardware #gpu #tech #gaming #pcgaming #market #electronics

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… A Reddit user shared their initial transition from NVIDIA to AMD by upgrading an aging GeForce RTX 2070 Super to the ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB graphics card. The desktop builder paid $900 CAD, bypassing future holiday shopping discounts to avoid market supply risks. Hardware owners praised the effective cooling system and overall memory headroom for heavy gaming workloads. Several owners noted that the substantial cooler weight makes an anti sag support bracket essential inside modern PC cases. Discussions also addressed sporadic driver timeout reports alongside European retail pricing settling near €860 across retail stores. #AMD #Radeon #ASUS #Hardware #GPU #Gaming #PC

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… A Reddit user built a compact gaming PC in the style of a Steam Machine using AMD components. The build features a Ryzen 5 5600X3D processor paired with a 16 GB Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card on an AM4 motherboard. The total cost of the purchased hardware came out to around $1300. The small Fractal Terra chassis initially suffered from high temperatures with an AIO cooler. Switching to a copper Thermalright AXP90-X53 heatsink, adding case fans, and applying an undervolt dropped real gaming temperatures down to 57°. Running SteamOS, this compact console setup easily delivers over 60 fps in native 4K gaming on a living room TV while remaining cool and silent. #AMD #Radeon #Ryzen #SteamOS #FractalTerra #MiniITX #GamingPC

en.gamegpu.com/news/igry/mar… Enthusiasts tested the 4K emulation of the action game Marvels Wolverine using the KytyPS5 emulator on a PC equipped with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D processor and an RTX 5080 graphics card. The game demonstrated a very low frame rate, hovering between 6 and 25 frames per second during gameplay. In heavy combat encounters, the 1% low metrics regularly dropped to a critical 1 frame per second. Due to the early software state of the emulator, the system hardware is not utilized properly. The frame rate remains far too low for comfortable gameplay on personal computers, requiring major optimization work. #MarvelsWolverine #KytyPS5 #emulation #framerate #RTX5080 #Ryzen #PCGaming

en.gamegpu.com/news/zhelezo/… A severe thermal failure occurred on the premium MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Vanguard graphics card due to a completely melted sixteen pin power connector. The high performance desktop system was powered by an FSP Hydro GT Pro unit using direct factory cables without adapters. During regular operation, high temperatures deformed the terminal housing, fusing the plastic connector directly onto the printed circuit board. Technicians attribute the issue to uneven current distribution across individual contacts under continuous electrical loads exceeding 600 W. Hardware owners are strongly advised to ensure the connector latch is fully locked and avoid tight cable bends near the graphics card socket to prevent overheating. #MSI #RTX5090 #Vanguard #FSP #Hardware #GPU #Gaming
