How to boost your GPU performance without buying a new one
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.
UN rights council condemns attacks on civilians in Sudan, calls for truce
Sudan's army advances in North Kordofan as RSF drone attacks intensify The United Nations Human Rights Council has condemned drone strikes and other attacks on civilians in Sudan, warning warring parties that there is "no military solution to the crisis" in the country. The statement on Monday came as the World Food Programme said an air attack had hit a truck carrying food supplies in North Kordofan, killing one person. Sudan urged member states to reject the measure, stating the council had failed to take its reservations into account. The war between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, which began in April 2023, has killed tens of thousands of people and displaced more than 13 million, according to estimates cited by human rights groups. The resolution demanded "an immediate and complete ceasefire by all parties, without preconditions", along with an independent monitoring mechanism and the restoration of basic infrastructure.
