Gamers don't need a 5,000 RTX 5090 anyway. DLSS got good enough

A $549 GeForce RTX 5070 can make path-traced Cyberpunk look buttery smooth at 4K and 240Hz. Nvidia's AI tricks are rewriting the rules of high-end gaming. The GeForce RTX 5090 is an absolute monster. It's also becoming increasingly difficult to justify for gaming -- and ironically, Nvidia's own DLSS technology is a big reason why.


How to boost your GPU performance without buying a new one

Engadget

In an era where graphical advancements are outpacing hardware evolution -- hello, path tracing -- it's becoming vital to get the most out of your current GPU through any means necessary. As someone who is now smitten with high-end ray tracing (it looks incredible in the likes of Cyberpunk 2077 or Marvel's Spider-Man 2), I'm all about embracing AI to help boost frame rates. And yes, I do need to give my soul a shower for admitting that. Whether you're interested in advanced ray tracing features or not, it's clear that graphically demanding games now rely on various forms of supersampling to lock down buttery, console-beating frame rates. Be it AMD FSR, NVIDIA DLSS or Intel XeSS, making the most out of AI-driven, FPS-boosting tech can be crucial for maintaining stable performance at high resolutions.


You don't need max graphics settings for great PC gaming visuals

You don't need max graphics settings for great PC gaming visuals You can get sharper, clearer PC games without tanking your frame rate. Here are two graphics settings worth forcing in your driver. In the world of PC gaming, there's a persistent myth that, to achieve maximum FPS rates (FPS, frames per second), you generally have to set all graphics settings to their maximum. However, we'll show you that just a handful of settings are enough to massively enhance the visual experience without placing an excessive strain on modern graphics cards.


Nvidia's DLSS 5 looks incredible. I'm just not sure whose vision I'm seeing

PCWorld

The technology raises concerns about whether AI-generated visuals preserve a developer's original artistic intent, with some users calling for a dedicated "developer intended" visual mode. According to PCWorld, AI upscaling is becoming essential as hardware costs rise, though the debate over visual accuracy versus performance remains unresolved. Nvidia's controversial DLSS 5 is out this week, and it was a big topic of discussion in this week's episode of The Full Nerd. While I haven't had a chance to test it out myself, by the time you read this I'll be furiously updating my Nvidia drivers and seriously considering splurging on a copy of just to get a look at the earliest game to launch with official DLSS 5 support. I'm curious to see if the reported performance dips that come with enabling DLSS 5 are actually counteracted by Nvidia tech like Multi-Frame Generation, and I want to see what kind of tuning the player can do to adjust how DLSS 5's new real-time AI model upscales game graphics.


Nvidia's DLSS 5 makes NBA 2K27 look incredibly real, which is kind of the problem

PCWorld

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Nvidia's DLSS 5 makes NBA 2K27 look incredibly real, which is kind of the problem NBA 2K27 shows off DLSS 5's impressive new realism -- and hints at a future where animation, not graphics, becomes gaming's weakest link. That sounds weird, but hear me out. Nvidia showed me and other journalists an early preview of 2K's NBA 2K27 ahead of the game's September 4 launch, because NBA 2K27 will also mark the debut of Nvidia's DLSS 5 technology, which applies AI models to rendered game scenes to drastically improve realism. It's the little things that sell it. Shadows fell naturally across Haliburton's hand as it gripped the ball.

I capped my 240Hz monitor at 120 FPS. My GPU thanked me for it

PCWorld

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. I capped my 240Hz monitor at 120 FPS. Cutting my gaming monitor's refresh rate in half barely changed my gameplay, but it dropped GPU power draw by up to 80W. When I bought my Alienware AW3225QF gaming monitor during last year's Prime Day sales, I mainly got it for the QD-OLED panel . But as an upgrade for a near-10-year-old Asus MG279Q, it was a major step up in multiple other ways: better resolution, better colors and contrast, better response time, and better refresh rate.

TaDiCodec: Text-aware Diffusion Speech Tokenizer for Speech Language Modeling

Neural Information Processing Systems

Speech tokenizers serve as foundational components for speech language models, yet current designs exhibit several limitations, including: (1) dependence on multi-layer residual vector quantization structures or high frame rates, (2) reliance on auxiliary pre-trained models for semantic distillation, and (3) requirements for complex two-stage training processes.
