The article discusses the performance testing of the game Pragmata on PC across 18 GPUs. The game features a sci-fi shooter premise set in a lunar facility and incorporates strategic gunplay and puzzle-solving mechanics. Pragmata utilizes cutting-edge technologies like DLSS for realistic lighting effects, with Nvidia heavily promoting the game. However, the path tracing mode is exclusive to GeForce cards, disappointing Radeon users. The article also delves into image quality comparisons and notes, highlighting the benefits and shortcomings of different rendering modes like pure rasterization, RT, and path tracing.

Tests show $30,000 AI GPUs are terrible password crackers — RTX 5090 gaming GPU outperforms Nvidia H200 and AMD MI300X

Tests conducted by Specops revealed that expensive $30,000 AI GPUs like Nvidia's H200 and AMD's MI300X performed poorly compared to consumer graphics cards like Nvidia's RTX 5090 in password cracking. Despite the significant price difference, the RTX 5090 outperformed the other GPUs by 20% over the MI300X and 63.7% over the H200 on average. The RTX 5090 excelled due to its design with more INT32 cores, which are crucial for password cracking, while the AI GPUs prioritize different instructions for their machine learning tasks. This study underscores that consumer desktop GPUs remain the most efficient for password cracking tasks.

We go hands-on with Nvidia's DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and its 5X and 6X multipliers — more generated frames, now tailor-made for your monitor's refresh rate

We go hands-on with Nvidia's DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and its 5X and 6X multipliers — more generated frames, now tailor-made for your monitor's refresh rate

Nvidia introduces DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation (MFG) with 5X and 6X multipliers, enhancing frame generation tailored to monitor refresh rates. This update is exclusive to RTX 50-series cards, offering smoother gameplay by automatically adjusting multipliers to maintain target frame rates. Initial tests show that MFG's new modes work well, though minor image quality issues like artifacting can still occur. While MFG doesn't drastically increase input latency, performance scaling with different multipliers may not align as expected, prompting further investigation. Overall, Dynamic MFG and its expanded multipliers streamline frame generation for a more seamless gaming experience, especially for high-refresh-rate setups.

Nvidia DLSS 4.5 Dynamic MFG plus 5X and 6X framegen modes enter beta for RTX 50-series users — update offers greater control over generated frame rates and more headroom for high-refresh-rate displays

Nvidia has introduced DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation (MFG) with 5x and 6x frame-gen modes in beta for RTX 50-series users, offering more control over generated frame rates and catering to high-refresh-rate displays. The update includes a new "enhanced frame generation model" and a "Preset B" model for improved image quality and UI rendering. A dynamic frame generation mode adjusts the DLSS multiplier to match monitor refresh rates, aiming to maximize performance on 240Hz and 360Hz gaming monitors. DLSS 4.5 is expected to be the final version before Nvidia shifts focus to DLSS 5 development.
