A single-developer open-source Windows app pre-compiles your games' shaders into the driver cache before you play, and Digital Foundry and Hardware Unboxed both put it through real tests within two weeks of each other.
Todd Howard revealed The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel in the Bethesda Game Studios 40th anniversary video, five days after The Verge leaked the same name, and the studio says the game is set in Hammerfell. There is still no release date.
The OpenAI CEO called home PCs a bad allocation of scarce DRAM, spent four days in a meme storm for it, and answered by renaming himself Ram Altman on X.
Nvidia denies the cards are discontinued, yet neither high-end GeForce is listed in its own US store, and tracked street prices keep climbing.
Hardware Unboxed ran multi frame generation on a stock RTX 3090 through a community mod, and the hardware excuse Nvidia has used since 2022 no longer matches what the video shows.
The dissolution notice is in the Japanese official gazette, and the Steam page for Gang of Dragon still lists a developer that no longer exists.
The Game Awards FAQ puts the nomination cutoff at November 20 at 9 p.m. PT, and GTA 6 launches November 19, so the biggest release of the year qualifies with one calendar day to spare.
The Switch 2 remake of the 1998 classic opened at 95 on OpenCritic and 96 on Metacritic, though a wave of Amazon preorder delays kept some physical copies from arriving on launch day.
AMD shipped driver-assisted frame pacing for FSR frame generation in SDK 2.4 and Adrenalin 26.10.1, and it only reaches RX 9000 cards, with no independent slow motion verification yet.
The Deck OLED is still the pick for a Steam library, the ROG Xbox Ally family owns the Game Pass lane, and the Legion Go 2 buys the biggest screen in the category at the cost of weight and battery life.
The OLED costs 44 to 46 percent more than it did at launch, a successor is rumored for late 2027 at the earliest, and last week's store page scare changed none of that math.
Microsoft confirmed that Windows quality updates will switch on Memory Integrity from October 2026, and independent tests put the cost to games at roughly 2 to 5 percent of average frame rate, with worse results in CPU-bound titles.
Rockstar confirmed preload windows and a 212GB install for the November 19 console launch, and a reported Q1 2027 PC release would be the fastest PC port Rockstar has ever done.
