Last week, Valve released a teardown video showcasing the Steam Deck internals. This is almost becoming a trend, as Sony did something quite similar before they released the PS5 to the public. The main difference with Sony here is that Valve starts by saying that “this is your device, yo...
First, performance. When you have a lower output resolution, DLSS will render your game at an even lower internal resolution. This can createa CPU bottleneckas you go down to lower-quality modes. In practice, that could mean you’re using a quality mode that looks worse without providing any...

Prior to the release of Intel Arc Alchemist, one of the main complaints was that the general public was kept in the dark a lot of the time. The release date was pushed back more than once, and the information about the GPUs was fairly scarce compared to the constant hype we’ve all ...
But under the surface, there are a range of hidden presets that make DLSS behave in different ways. These are how developers tweak how DLSS reacts to a given input resolution and specific game content. They aren’t meant to be user-facing, but a clever mod allowed me to open up the ...
