 Gaming culture has been spreading like wildfire. More and more people are getting into gaming and the industry is responding accordingly with more people pursuing game dev, more and more game dev studios emerging with some great games. However, the demand for more games has led to major performance issues even powerful GPUs. Let's explore the causes of these issues in this article.

 So if you didn't know, Nvidia announces its new products at CES every year. CES is basically a business convention where big tech companies showcase their latest products and innovations. This year Nvidia bombarded fans and enthusiasts with some of the craziest news and announced the RTX 50 series GPU, for which we have all been waiting for a long time. Other than the RTX 50 Nvidia announced its new projects with Agentic AI. Although they all seem very interesting, we will not discuss them in this article, so that the article stays comprehensive and concise. Geforce RTX 50 series The RTX 50 series includes 4 starting models: 5070 5070 Ti 5080 5090 Nvidia did not disclose any information about the 5050 and the 5060 and we do not even know if they will make it or not. This new series is much more powerful than the last generation 4000 series graphics card with an all-new architecture, more Vram, and lots of new features. Let us discuss them in the following sections. Specifications ...

A couple weeks ago, we discussed the specs, price, and performance of  Intel's new Battlemage GPU series, which was set to be released on 12th December 2024. Touted as Intel's most ambitious GPU release yet, the Battlemage was set to compete against NVIDIA's RTX 4000 series and AMD's Radeon 7000 line. Intel promised us the best performance per dollar, top-of-the-line gaming performance with AI features, but were they able to deliver that? Let's see! 1. Specs and Features In case you missed it the last time, the Intel Battlemage series was released with two models that are the B570 and B580; with the B580 being the higher-end model of the two. The full details are below: Architecture: The new series gets an upgraded and improved architecture, that is the Xe2 architecture. It was designed to enhance ray tracing and AI-assisted rendering capabilities. VRAM: The B580 (top model) comes with 12GBs of VRAM and the B570 racks 10GBs. Upscaling: Intel has improved upon its l...

 The requirements for AI in the market are at an all-time high with the recent surge of AI tools for almost everything. Naturally, GPU companies had to get their hands dirty with AI and create some mind-blowing tech. So, in this article, we are going to discover how AI is seamlessly integrated into modern GPUs. Introduction To understand how AI gets integrated into GPUs, we must first have a deep understanding of what GPUs are and what they do.  What are GPUs and what do they do? GPU is the abbreviation of Graphics Processing Unit. Unlike a CPU chip that processes a lot of data simultaneously, a GPU processes data in smaller bits to increase efficiency. A GPU was invented with the intention of rendering graphical designs, but it is now used for much more than that. GPUs are now mostly used in the gaming industry from commercial GPUs for everyday gamers to industrial GPUs for games devs. But what is the need for AI in modern GPUs when they are so powerful by themselves? What is...

 With games getting more and more expensive with low-value content like MW III, it becomes hard to convince yourself to buy a game that you might find boring after some time, making it a wasteful investment. So, in this article, I will show you 10 ways to get free or discounted games and a bonus Tip . 1. Epic Games The no.1 best and most consistent source of free games has to be Epic Games. If you do not know who or what Epic Games is then I will tell you, Epic Games is basically a store where you can purchase the latest games and mostly all games, except a few.      Now why would I say that Epic Games is the 'best and most consistent' source of free games?  It is because every week Epic Games gives away games, which are usually only available through purchase, for free. You heard it right, absolutely no cost for a paid games that will stay in your library forever.  Epic is also known to give small DLCs like in-game skins and such, which are also free to ke...

      Intel just announced a new series of graphics cards called the B-series (code-named Battlemage). This new series is focused on budget PC users who want a value-for-money deal. Read on to learn everything about the new Battlemage GPUs. Introduction So, the B-series GPUs currently have two models the B570 and B580 with 10GB and 12GB of GDDR6 VRam respectively with a new and improved architecture. Previously when Intel released their Alchemists series, it failed to deliver the promised performance, and this time they claim that it is on average 24% faster in 1440p and sometimes even 78% compared to previous generations. These GPUs are speculated to be priced at $219 (roughly Rs.19,000) and $249 (roughly 21,000) respectively. There is a whole lot new with the new GPU and here is all we know about it. Architecture The Battlemage GPUs come with a whole new architecture called Xe2 which has been optimised to deliver more performance per dollar than the previous gen. I...

       With games getting bigger and better in terms of graphics, it is getting harder for most PCs or Laptops to run them as they either lack the minimum system requirement or have slowed down over time. Many gamers love games like GTA 6 and Black Myth: Wukong, but even the most racked-up PCs have difficulty producing optimum FPS as their minimum system requirements are quite high.  According to a survey conducted by Steam, on average, there were users per month as of Oct 24, and on average around 6% of them own a 3060 desktoownedPU. Now 6% may seem very, low but considering, that 6% of 132 million is around 79,20,000, which is quite a lot. In this article, we will cover hardware and software optimization and some maintenance tips. 1. Hardware GPU GPUs have the most crucial role of any piece of hardware regarding gaming performance. They are responsible for processing and rendering the graphics of your games. It is obvious the better the GPU the more FPS you ge...

 Intel and AMD have been in the market for a long time, and they have been competing against each other to produce better products for consumers, with increasing performance and better power efficiency. One important thing to note is that we will be using Intel's i5 13600K and AMD's Ryzen 5 7600X for this comparison, as they were released around the same time, are pretty recent, and are popular among the general public.   1. Performance Let's start this comparison with the most important aspect of a processor- the performance. We will be comparing this performance benchmark on three factors: Single core performance Multicore performance Power Efficiency Single Core Performance Intel Core i5 13600K: 81/100 AMD Ryzen 5 7600X: 82 /100 Multicore Performance Intel Core i5 13600K: 61 /100 AMD Ryzen 5 7600X: 46/100 source: nanoreview.net Geekbench6 (Single & Multi Core) Intel Core i5 13600K:- Single Core: 2703 Multicore: 15112 source: geekbench6.com Ryzen 5 7600X:- Single Cor...
