Horizon Forbidden West is making its grand debut on PC later this week. This new version of the game will support PC-exclusive technologies like Nvidia's DLSS 3. If you are planning on picking the game up, then you can now update your graphics drivers beforehand, as a new Game Ready driver has now dropped. 

GeForce graphics card users can now update to the 551.86 driver, which brings day-one optimisations for Horizon Forbidden West: Complete Edition, which lands on PC on the 21st of March, complete with ray-tracing, DLSS 3, Nvidia Reflex and DLAA. With DLSS switched on, Nvidia says RTX 4080 users will be able to play the game at 4K/60FPS with Very High settings. Meanwhile, the RTX 3070 should be able to run the game at 1440p/60FPS with High settings.

This new Game Ready driver also brings support for DLSS 3.5 in Portal RTX, enabling ray-reconstruction for better ray-traced visuals while using DLSS upscaling.

If you are the type of person that likes to use Nvidia's recommended graphics settings for games to save time, then you'll also be pleased to know that two new games now have ‘optimal settings' listed, including Helldivers 2 and Three Kingdoms: Zhao Yun.

The new driver is available to download directly through the Nvidia App.

The annual Game Developers Conference is kicking off on Monday but Nvidia has a few new RTX related announcements going live ahead of the event. This month, even more games are getting RTX features. Diablo 4 will soon get ray-traced graphics, Star Wars Outlaws has been confirmed for ray-tracing and DLSS 3 at launch, while other previously released titles are getting upgrades to their Nvidia-specific features as well.

Black Myth: Wukong and Naraka: Bladepoint are both upgrading with full ray tracing and DLSS 3.5, which includes ray-reconstruction technology for better ray-traced visuals with upscaling turned on. Diablo 4, a game that already supports DLSS 3, will be getting a graphics upgrade on March 26th with ray-traced effects, although Blizzard has yet to confirm if it is only implementing shadows/reflections, or if it is going bigger with GI effects.

Star Wars Outlaws, touted as the very first true open-world Star Wars game, is set to be one of the biggest releases of the year. The game will launch with DLSS 3 for super-charged performance on RTX 40 series graphics cards, and it will include ray-traced graphics.

Portal with RTX, the fully path-traced remake of Valve's classic puzzle shooter, is now available for free, with an upgrade to DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction. Unfortunately, there is no update on the Half-Life 2 RTX project but hopefully we'll hear about that again later in the year.

Portal with RTX now also benefits from RTX IO, enabling faster GPU-based loading and asset decompression, so textures should load faster and some of the load will be taken off of your storage drive.

Some other tidbits being announced today include:

  • Sengoku Dynasty – in early access now with DLSS 3. At 4K, max settings, DLSS 3 multiplies frame rates by an average of 2X, enabling the GeForce RTX 4070 to comfortably exceed 60FPS. And on faster GPUs performance surpasses 100FPS, topping out at 160FPS on the GeForce RTX 4090.
  • Outcast – A New Beginning – launches March 15th With DLSS 2 & DLAA.
  • The First Berserker: Khazan – launches soon with NVIDIA DLSS 3 and Reflex.
  • NVIDIA RTX Remix Open Beta – DLSS 3.5 with Ray Reconstruction is coming soon, enabling all modders to upgrade their work.
  • The Finals – Season 2 launches today March 14 and includes DLSS 3, RTXGI, and Reflex.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: What do you think of Nvidia's gaming-related GDC announcements this year? The RTX Remix going into open beta is a pretty big addition here, as it will enable more RTX mods for classic games that don't support ray-tracing.

If you own an Nvidia graphcis card, it is time to update those drivers. The latest Game Ready graphics driver update has dropped, landing alongside news of Horizon: Forbidden West's incoming PC port, which will launch with DLSS 3 support on day-one for multiplied performance on RTX 40-series graphics cards.

We've already covered Horizon Forbidden West's PC launch announcement. The game is coming on the 21st of March and will have support for both DLSS 3, DLSS 2, and Nvidia Reflex at launch. Those with RTX 30 or older GPUs can benefit from DLSS 2, using upscaling techniques to improve frame rates, while those on RTX 40 GPUs can benefit from DLSS 3, which adds in Frame Generation to boost frame rates further at the cost of latency. To counter the additional latency, Nvidia Reflex is provided, which reduces the latency of your entire system for more responsive controls in-game.

Endnight Games’ The Forest was an incredibly popular open-world survival and crafting game. Their critically acclaimed follow-up, Sons Of The Forest, recently exited Early Access with a massive content update and now, the game also supports DLSS 2 for RTX graphics card users looking for a frame rate boost. Mortal Kombat 1, Reveil and Hellbreach: Vegas are several other titles getting DLSS support this week.

Finally, there is also a new GeForce Game Ready driver available to download. The new driver implements day-one support for Thaumaturge, which launches with support for DLSS 3 and Nvidia Reflex this week.

Nvidia’s GeForce Now remains one of the most popular game streaming services, with over 1,800 titles currently available to stream from your PC library. That said, the service has historically only worked with a select number of storefronts – though this has slowly changed over time. The latest PC client joining the service is Activision’s Battle.net launcher.

Making the announcement via their blog, Nvidia revealed that its GeForce Now Streaming service is being expanded, saying:

“Stream the first titles from Blizzard Entertainment’s Battle.net, including Diablo IV, Overwatch 2, Call of Duty HQ and Hearthstone, now playable across more devices than ever.”

While the selection of Battle net titles remains somewhat small, Nvidia has added new games to the service on a weekly basis; meaning Battle net’s full library should be supported sooner rather than later.

Considering the fact that ABK’s launcher only has two-dozen titles to its name, this hopefully won’t take too long at all.

Charming indie co-op game, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is getting a remake, upgrading the visuals with Unreal Engine 5. On PC, GeForce graphics card users will benefit from additional features, like DLSS. New Nvidia Reflex titles are also on the way this week.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake and Myth of Empires are launching this week, both supporting DLSS 2, promising to boost frame rates by over 2X on RTX 40 series graphics cards. In the realm of competitive gaming, Tarkov: Arena emerges with added support for Nvidia Reflex. This integration aims to curtail system latency by a notable 36 percent, offering players a distinct advantage during intense gaming sessions.

Other Nvidia Reflex titles are also getting updates this week. Apex Legends for instance is entering its 20th season, and Reflex reduces latency in the title by up to 37 percent. Call of Duty: Warzone is another notable example, with season 2 now launching and Reflex reducing latency by up to 28 percent. Overwatch 2 sees the biggest benefit from Reflex, with a 60 percent improvement in latency and responsiveness.

The RTX 4070 Super has been out for just a few weeks. At its launch MSRP of £579, we found it to be the best value RTX 40-series card available but surprisingly, prices are already starting to drop a bit. 

While the Founder's Edition RTX 4070 Super carries the MSRP price tag of £579, most custom-cooled cards from board partners do sell at higher prices. In the case of the Zotac RTX 4070 Super Twin Edge graphics card though, you can save money over the MSRP price.

Currently on Overclockers UK, this RTX 4070 Super model is selling for £539.99, around £40 lower than the MSRP price, making it one of the most wallet-friendly RTX 4070 cards available at the moment.

The RTX 4070 Super first launched in mid January, offering nice boost over the original RTX 4070, offering about 15% more performance for the same money – and you can see our full review HERE.

There are several big games launching this week and as usual, Nvidia is prepared with a GeForce Game Ready graphics driver. The latest GeForce driver brings support for new releases like Skull and Bones, which finally lands on PC and consoles this week after a decade of development.

The latest GeForce graphics driver brings day-one optimisations for Ubisoft's pirate multiplayer game, Skull and Bones, which we first saw at E3 many years ago. The game will be launching with ray-traced graphics options, as well as support for DLSS 2 so RTX graphics card owners can save some performance.

Other notable games releasing this week include Smalland: Survive the Wilds, which launches on February 15th with DLSS 2. Additionally, Don't Nod's next game, Banishers: Ghosts of Eden, is available as of today with support for Nvidia Reflex, DLAA and DLSS 3.

With all the settings maxed out at 4K with DLSS 3 on, you'll get over 100FPS with an RTX 4070 and the numbers only go up from there. The RTX 4080 for instance can hit over 150FPS with DLSS 3 switched on and the RTX 4090 approaches 190FPS.

The latest GeForce Game Ready driver is now available to download via the GeForce Experience.

February has kicked off which means it is time for another Nvidia DLSS update. This week, there will be two new games getting DLSS updates. For starters, we have Stormgate, which features both DLSS 2 and DLSS 3.

Stormgate managed to raise over $2.2 million in crowdfunding last year, making it the most successful gaming Kickstarter of 2023. Unlike many other Kickstarter projects, we're getting a pretty swift turnaround here, with Stormgate launching this year. A demo is currently freely available on Steam as part of Steam Next Fest, and it already features DLSS 2 and DLSS 3 in its demo form and will fully launch with both features in place later this year.

The Inquisitor is a new game, offering a story-driven, dark fantasy adventure, set in an alternate version of reality inspired by the book series of the same name. The game comes out on the 8th of February and will feature DLSS 2.

Aside from that, DLSS 3 and DLSS 2 is available in Call of Duty: Warzone, which enters Season 2 tomorrow. Atomic Heart, another DLSS-supported title, is also getting a new expansion this week.

The post The RTX 3050 is making a comeback first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
We're well over a year into the current generation of graphics cards, with the RTX 40 series replacing most of the former RTX 30 series graphics cards on the market. While there is an RTX 4050 GPU for laptops, there is no version of this card for desktop systems. At this rate, we may not see a desktop RTX 4050 at all, as Nvidia is keeping the RTX 3050 alive for 2024. 

Nvidia has now launched a new 6GB version of the RTX 3050, coming in at a cheaper price point than the current 8GB model. However, there are some other key differences aside from VRAM capacity. For starters, the memory runs on a narrower 96-bit bus, a step back from the 128-bit bus on the RTX 3050 8GB. This lowers bandwidth to 168 GB/s versus 224 GB/s.

The RTX 3050 6GB also has fewer CUDA cores than the standard RTX 3050 8GB, dropping from 2560 CUDA cores to 2304 cores, clock speeds are also dialled back from a 1777MHz boost speed to 1470MHz. The power limit has also dropped from 130W to 70W, as pointed out by VideoCardz, as the 6GB model does not ship with an additional PCIe power connector.

European retailer, Mindfactory, already has a few RTX 3050 6GB listings live, with prices starting at €185, so we're likely going to see $180/£180 prices in the US and UK.

The RTX 4080 Super has launched today, rounding out Nvidia's latest trio of graphics card launches. As expected, the new card has been accompanied by a new GeForce graphics driver, which also acts as the Game Ready driver for several upcoming releases, including Rocksteady's Suicide Squad. 

The latest Game Ready driver from Nvidia delivers optimisations for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which launches with support for DLSS 2, DLAA and ray-tracing. Unfortunately, it does not include DLSS 3, which would help a bit as the frame rate can get a tad choppy even on an RTX 4080 – stay tuned for more on that in the coming days as I'm currently working my way through the game for impressions.

The latest driver also brings optimisations for Enshrouded, a recent indie hit, which also launches with ray-tracing and DLSS 2. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth (Yakuza 8) is also on the way and will ship with DLSS 3, with the latest driver from Nvidia adding support for the game.

TEKKEN 8 is the final highlight for this latest Game Ready driver. The latest fighting game in the long-running franchise will launch with DLSS 2, which should help a wider range of GPUs achieve a locked 60FPS with the settings cranked up.

Asus's partnership with Noctua continues. The RTX 4080 Super has officially launched today, with reviews now live across the web, including several of our own, covering the Founders Edition and a few partner cards. Soon, Asus will be launching a new Noctua-cooled version of the RTX 4080 Super. 

Asus and Noctua have been partnering on some graphics cards for a couple of years now but the 4080 Super variant seems to have the beefiest cooler yet, utilising Noctua's battle-tested and highly-praised NF-A12x25 120mm fans, alongside a chunky heatsink.

The big selling point of a Noctua-cooled graphics card is the lack of noise. Noctua is well known for having some of the quietest cooling fans on the market. Due to the cooling performance, Asus was also able to squeeze a bit more out of the GPU, delivering an extra 90Hz out of the box compared to Nvidia's Founders Edition model.

We don't have an exact launch date yet, or a final price but the original RTX 4080 Noctua Edition did sell for $1649. As pointed out by Videocardz, the RTX 4080 Super does have a lower MSRP than the original RTX 4080, so we may end up seeing this version hitting the market at a similar or slightly lower price.

Nvidia officially announced RTX 40 Super earlier this week. You can see the GPU specs in the table below, compared with each non-Super version:

GPU CUDA Cores Memory Base/Boost speeds TGP
RTX 4080 Super 10240 16GB GDDR6X 2295MHz / 2550MHz 320W
RTX 4080 9728 16GB GDDR6X 2205MHz / 2505MHz 320W
RTX 4070 Ti Super 8448 16GB GDDR6X 2340MHz / 2610MHz 285W
RTX 4070 Ti 7680 12GB GDDR6X 2310MHz / 2610MHz 285W
RTX 4070 Super 7168 12GB GDDR6X 1980MHz / 2475MHz 220W
RTX 4070 5888 12GB GDDR6X 1920MHz / 2475MHz 200W

There will be some Founders Edition models but the real standout here is the display of board partner cards at Nvidia's CES booth. In the video, we can see new custom-cooled versions, complete with the usual hefty heatsinks. Nearly every board partner is represented here, from Gigabyte, MSI and Asus to companies like Galax and Colourful, all of which have new cards ready to go for launch.

While the RTX 4080 originally launched at $1199, the RTX 4080 Super is launching at $999 instead. The RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4070 Super will match the MSRPs of the previous models, coming in at $799 and $599 respectively. The vanilla RTX 4070 meanwhile sees an official price cut to $549, though do note the original 4070 Ti and 4080 will be discontinued in favour of the new Super models.

For those in the UK, Nvidia has confirmed the 4070 Super MSRP at £579, the 4070 Ti Super is £769 and the 4080 Super is £959. Custom-cooled versions will likely go for more than Nvidia's MSRP price.

The RTX 4070 Super will be available starting on the 17th of January. The RTX 4070 Ti Super will hit the market on the 24th of January and the RTX 4080 Super will be available starting on the 31st of January.

CES 2024: Nvidia unveils RTX 40 Super specs, pricing and release dates https://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/matthew-wilson/ces-2024-nvidia-unveils-rtx-40-super-specs-pricing-and-release-dates/ https://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/matthew-wilson/ces-2024-nvidia-unveils-rtx-40-super-specs-pricing-and-release-dates/#respond Mon, 08 Jan 2024 16:30:32 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=642775 At CES today, Nvidia is officially launching three new graphics cards - the RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4070 Super.

At CES today, Nvidia is officially launching three new graphics cards – the RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4070 Super. We can now put to rest a long running stream of rumours and leaks with official details on specs and pricing. New hardware isn't the only thing Nvidia has on the way though, as the company is also launching new software features too. 

We'll start off on the software front. At Computex last year, Nvidia officially announced ACE, its new set of tools to create realistic digital avatars. Leveraging AI tools, developers can use ACE features like Audio2Face and Riva to automatically detect speech and create facial expressions. The goal here is to allow game makers to create life-like NPCs, with high-fidelity and natural animations. Tools like Convai can also allow NPCs to converse amongst themselves and interact with objects, which could help create more realistic worlds.

A number of developers are already using ACE, including Inworld, NetEase, Tencent, Ubisoft and miHoYo. Nvidia ACE is now widely available for use, so we should see more game developers exploring the technology this year.

Moving on to hardware, Nvidia is officially launching the RTX 40 Super series graphics cards. The RTX 4080 Super is said to be 1.4X faster than the RTX 3080 Ti without DLSS Frame Generation. Activating DLSS 3 Frame Gen can boost it up to being 2X more powerful than the RTX 3080 Ti. The RTX 4070 Ti Super is described as the “ideal GPU” for running games at maximum settings at 1440p and 4K. The RTX 4070 Super gets the biggest upgrade here over its original counterpart, with 20% more cores, making it faster than an RTX 3090 while using up less power.

You can see the specs in the table below:

GPU CUDA Cores Memory Base/Boost speeds TGP
RTX 4080 Super 10240 16GB GDDR6X 2295MHz / 2550MHz 320W
RTX 4080 9728 16GB GDDR6X 2205MHz / 2505MHz 320W
RTX 4070 Ti Super 8448 16GB GDDR6X 2340MHz / 2610MHz 285W
RTX 4070 Ti 7680 12GB GDDR6X 2310MHz / 2610MHz 285W
RTX 4070 Super 7168 12GB GDDR6X 1980MHz / 2475MHz 220W
RTX 4070 5888 12GB GDDR6X 1920MHz / 2475MHz 200W

The biggest surprise here is the new pricing. While the RTX 4080 originally launched at $1199, the RTX 4080 Super is launching at $999 instead. The RTX 4070 Ti Super and RTX 4070 Super will match the MSRPs of the previous models, coming in at $799 and $599 respectively. The vanilla RTX 4070 meanwhile sees an official price cut to $549, though do note the original 4070 Ti and 4080 will be discontinued in favour of the new Super models.

For those in the UK, Nvidia has confirmed the 4070 Super MSRP at £579, the 4070 Ti Super is £769 and the 4080 Super is £959.

The RTX 4070 Super will be available starting on the 17th of January. The RTX 4070 Ti Super will hit the market on the 24th of January and the RTX 4080 Super will be available starting on the 31st of January.

In recent months, leaks have heavily pointed towards the impending launch of a new range of RTX 40 Super graphics cards. Now with CES just days away, Nvidia appears to be teasing exactly that. 

In a short teaser video posted this afternoon, Nvidia showcases what is clearly a new Founders Edition graphics card, with a subtler blacked-out design with some accented lighting for the GeForce logo and for the V-shaped area in-front of the fan.

Nvidia has already announced plans for a Special Address stream on the 8th of January to announce new GeForce-related things. Based on this teaser video, we can certainly expect some new hardware. Hopefully some new improvements on the software side will also be on the table.

We'll be covering CES from the ground this year, so expect plenty of news right from the show starting next week.

Nvidia's latest driver has arrived and it sure does have an interesting list of newly optimised games. Obvious entries like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and multiplayer hit ‘The Finals' can be found here, listed alongside The Day Before – a game that has since been removed from sale, with the studio shutting down. 

The latest GeForce Graphics Driver adds one-click optimal settings for six new games, including Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, The Finals, Throne and Liberty, Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader, Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin and The Day Before.

While The Day Before was initially a highly anticipated title, the release last week ended up being nothing like what was previously advertised. The studio behind the game, Fntastic, swiftly announced plans to close down and as of today, The Day Before can no longer be purchased on Steam, less than a week after its launch.

This week's GeForce update also comes with DLSS upgrades for a bunch of titles. As of today, DLSS 3 can now be used in Call of Duty: Warzone, as well as Nvidia Reflex and DLAA. The Finals has also launched with DLSS 3 and Nvidia Reflex support. SCUM, as well as Throne and Liberty, are also getting DLSS 3 updates this week.

The Devourer: Hunted Souls, Silent Rain and Soulslinger: Envoy of Death are all getting DLSS 2.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: It was quite bizarre to see The Day Before listed on Nvidia's press release given all the news around that game in recent days. If you do happen to still own the game and haven't refunded it, well, you can one-click optimise its settings now – you should refund the game though.

Recently, Nvidia announced plans to bundle a three-month subscription to PC Game Pass when picking up a six-month GeForce Now Ultimate subscription. As it turns out, the company's partnership with Microsoft doesn't end there. Now, Nvidia has revealed its latest GeForce game bundle, giving new RTX 40 GPU buyers access to Game Pass. 

The previous bundle, which included a free code for Alan Wake 2 with purchases of RTX 40 graphics cards, has now come to an end and it is being immediately replaced by a new bundle. Now, anyone picking up an RTX 4060, RTX 4060 Ti, RTX 4070, RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4080 or RTX 4090 graphics card will get three months of access to Xbox Game Pass for PC, which not only includes access to hundreds of first and third-party games, but also includes access to EA Play, so you can download a wide range of EA-published titles for your PC as well.

In some select countries, a second freebie will be included, granting three months of access to the GeForce Now Priority tier. In this tier, you do get access to RTX graphics and the ability to jump the queue for server access over free-tier users, so you can access your games in the cloud faster.

Nvidia has also announced three new games getting DLSS updates over the next week or so. Gangs of Sherwood and Satisfactory will both be getting support for DLSS 2 and Nvidia's DLAA technology, which leverages the tensor cores on RTX GPUs to remove jagged edges from in-game graphics, without utilising resolution scaling, which is what DLSS uses to improve performance. Finally, Last Train Home is also getting DLSS 2, but not DLAA.

The post Black Friday 2023: Best PC component deals first appeared on KitGuru.]]>
Black Friday sales have arrived in force, with most major stores now offering big discounts on all things tech. Here, we break down some of the best PC component deals we've spotted so far, including graphics cards, processors, motherboards, AIO liquid coolers, RAM and more. If you are looking for a fresh upgrade, or to just pick up some new parts for a future build while they are cheap – we have you covered. 

Starting off with graphics cards, there are some very good deals to be found on current-gen AMD GPUs right now. For instance, the Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XT Nitro+ is currently £100 off and comes with a free copy of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Typically, this graphics card costs £899.99 but it is now down to £799.99. One rung down the ladder we find the Sapphire RX 7800 XT Nitro+, down from its usual price of £599.99 to £518.99.

The MSI Radeon RX 7900 XTX Gaming Trio Classic with 24GB of VRAM is currently £200 off, bringing the price down to £899. If you would like to save some money by going with an RX 6000 series GPU, then the MSI RX 6750 XT is now down to £329.99 at Ebuyer and Scan,

On the Nvidia side, the MSI RTX 4060 Ti Ventus 3X graphics card has dropped from £419 to £375.87 on Amazon. The Gigabyte RTX 4060 EAGLE OC graphics card has dropped to under £300, bringing the price down to £280.99.

On the processor front, you can find some good deals. If you don't mind going with a previous-gen CPU, then the Intel Core i9-13900K can now be found for £459, down from £540. If only the very best of the current generation will do, then the Core i9-14900K can also be found with a discount, bringing the price down from £578.99 to £559.99.

The Intel Core i7-14700K is down from £419.99 to £399.95 and the Core i5-14600K is down from £319.99 to £299.99.

On the AMD side, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is hailed as the current best gaming CPU by many and it is now 10% off, bringing the price down from £419.99 to £379.99. If you want something a bit more powerful for editing and creator tools, then the Ryzen 9 7950X3D can now be found for £589.99.

For a cheaper upgrade to AMD's current generation of processors, the Ryzen 5 7600X is now down to £219.98 as well.

While the Ryzen 7000 series is excellent, the Ryzen 5000 series processors still hold up well and present an opportunity to save some cash. The Ryzen 7 5800X can now be found for £175, and the Ryzen 5 5600X can be found for under £150.

For motherboards, you can save on a good number of Socket AM4 and AM5 motherboards at the moment. The Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX has fallen under the £200 mark, as has the MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard. If you are looking for something a bit more high-end, then the MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard is down from £329.99 to £265.97. On the Socket AM4 front, the MPG X570S CARBON MAX is a good choice at £209.

For Intel processors, socket LGA1700 boards like the MEG Z690 UNIFY and B760 GAMING PLUS motherboards are down to £249.99 and £139.99 respectively. The MSI Z790 Gaming PRO WiFi motherboard has dropped to £189.99 too. Elsewhere, the Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX can be found for £236.99. A budget-conscious Mini-ITX option can be found with the Gigabyte H610I DDR4, which is currently down to £87.99.

On the cooling front, there is also a lot to choose from. The Corsair Hydro X XH305i custom liquid cooling kit offers everything you need to set up your own custom loop, now down from £559.99 to £469.99 in both black and white colour options.

If you would prefer a simpler all-in-one liquid cooler, then the Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT can be found at nearly £100 off, bringing the price down to £224.99 with a 360mm radiator. At the £150 mark, you can find the EKWB EK-Nucleus CR360, also including a 360mm radiator and ARGB fans. The Corsair H150i RGB Elite Performance comes in cheaper still, priced at £139.99. If you prefer a smaller 240mm cooler, then the H100i RGB ELITE can be found for £109.99.

Heading down to the sub-£100 bracket, the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm is a solid option at £99.95. The Aerocool Mirage L360 offers a 360mm radiator and ARGB fans for £69.95, and its 240mm sibling, the Mirage L240, is on sale for £59.99.

Nvidia has spent recent years establishing itself as a leader in the hardware market for AI acceleration. Those bets began paying off hugely with devices like the Nvidia H100 becoming hot sellers and the streak has not come to an end. Nvidia has now shared its Q3 earnings report, showing revenues have grown by a massive 206 percent compared to Q3 in the previous year. 

Over the course of Q3, Nvidia made a record $18.12 billion in revenue, a 34 percent gain compared to Q2 this year, and a 206 percent gain compared to the same time period in the previous year. Data Center revenues have been particularly strong, generating $14.51 billion in revenue, a 279 percent gain compared to Q3 last year and up 41 percent compared to Q2 this year.

On the gaming side, Nvidia has made some strides too, with revenues hitting $2.86 billion for the quarter, up 81 percent compared to Q3 last year and up 15 percent compared to Q2 this year.

As we move into Q4, Nvidia does not expect to slow down, anticipating revenues of $20 billion, plus or minus two percent. Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, attributes Nvidia's growth to the AI boom, which is seeing platform holders across industries implementing their own AI solutions and moving more towards automation.

KitGuru Says: While the tech industry struggled over the pandemic due to supply chains shutting down, Nvidia appears to have put those days well behind them at this stage with significant yearly growth across the board in 2023.

Last week, Bethesda shipped a new Starfield beta on Steam, adding DLSS 3 with Frame Generation, DLAA and Reflex to the game. These features are still in beta but now, Nvidia has shipped a driver update supporting these features in the game. The latest Game Ready driver also brings additional optimisations for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. 

The latest driver update promises to deliver “the definitive experience” in Modern Warfare 3, which features all of Nvidia's latest gaming technologies, including DLSS 3, DLAA and Reflex. However, it is worth noting that Frame Generation is only available in the game's campaign mode, as discovered by early buyers of the game over the weekend. The new update also highlights support for DLSS 3, DLAA and Reflex in Starfield, although these features are currently only available in the Steam beta branch of the game.

This driver update also brings a few bug fixes. For starters, an issue that saw gradual performance degradation in Alan Wake 2 has been fixed, and Nvidia Reflex performance should now be improved in Counter-Strike 2.

You can find the patch notes for the new driver and download it directly, HERE. Alternatively, you can also install it directly through the GeForce Experience app.

Nvidia has officially announced plans to participate in CES 2024. The company will be holding a Special Address on the 8th of January to discuss the latest tech releases. 

Naturally, the immediate assumption here is that we'll be hearing about RTX 40 Super, as the refreshed graphics cards have been heavily rumoured in recent weeks.

Nothing is official yet, but Nvidia is rumoured to be planning three Super SKUs, including an RTX 4080 Super, an RTX 4070 Ti Super and an RTX 4070 Super. The RTX 4080 Super and RTX 4070 Ti Super are claimed to have faster memory, as well as more CUDA cores to bring a performance boost. The RTX 4070 Super may have the same memory configuration, but would also get a bump in CUDA core count.

The keynote will take place on the 8th of January at 4PM UK-time. We'll be at CES once again next year, so we'll be reporting from the ground as news comes in.

Nvidia has had quite the run of DLSS 3-supported titles in recent months, with Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty arriving in September, Alan Wake 2 in October and now, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the latest AAA game to sport the tech at launch.

On the 10th of November, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 officially goes live for all players. On PC, RTX 40 users will benefit from DLSS 3 with Frame Generation, utilising AI to boost frame rates by up to 1.8X at 4K with max graphics settings. If you have an older RTX graphics card, you can still use DLSS 2 upscaling to gain a performance boost. Additionally, the game will also support Nvidia Reflex, allowing you to reduce overall system latency for more responsive gameplay.

Aside from Modern Warfare 3, Remnant II is getting a new DLC on the 14th of November, putting the game back in headlines. This particular title also launched with DLSS 3 support, alongside DLSS 2 and Reflex.

The final DLSS-supported title coming this month is Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, a new spin-off in the Yakuza series, focusing on beloved protagonist Kiryu and bridging the gap between Yakuza 7 and its upcoming sequel, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

KitGuru Says: We haven't seen DLSS 3 in many competitive multiplayer games, so it will be interesting to see how well the tech holds up in a fast-paced shooter like Call of Duty.

We're just a couple of days away from the early access campaign release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. We already know the game will utilise a suite of Nvidia features, including Reflex, DLAA and DLSS 3 with Frame Generation. Now, the Game Ready driver is available for the game, which also brings support for a few other upcoming titles.

Aside from day-zero optimisations for Modern Warfare 3, this Game Ready driver also ensures the best day-one experience for RoboCop: Rogue City, Desynced and Jusant, all three of which will also support DLSS 3. Using DLSS 3 with Frame Generation, RTX 40 GPU users can reach higher levels of performance, with Jusant getting up to a 2.6X improvement in frame rate at 4K with max settings. RoboCop sees similar gains of up to 2.6X at 4K with DLSS 3.

Aside from new DLSS titles and Game Ready optimisations, this new driver also adds support for six more G-Sync Compatible displays. These displays don't have a G-Sync module inside of them but can still utilise Variable Refresh Rate by enabling G-Sync Compatibility in your Nvidia settings. The newly supported monitors include the Acer X45, the AOC AG456UCZD & U27G3XM, the Galax Q3222SUC, the LG 32GR75Q and the MSI MPG341QR.

The new Game Ready driver is now available to download through the GeForce Experience app.

Last week when Ubisoft unveiled the PC system requirements and feature set for Assassin's Creed Mirage, the studio only revealed support for Intel's XeSS upscaling method, leaving out DLSS and FSR, which are often preferred by Nvidia and AMD GPU users respectively. Ubisoft has now cleared things up, confirming that the game will actually support all three upscalers. 

Ubisoft has now updated its PC specs blog post for Assassin's Creed Mirage, noting that the game will support Intel XeSS Super Sampling, Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR – presumably FSR 2. The specific DLSS version isn't noted either, so we would assume it is DLSS 2 without Nvidia's newer RTX 40-exclusive frame generation technology.

Starfield has been performing oddly on Nvidia and Intel GPUs but the experience is expected to improve with graphics driver updates and game patches. The situation should improve for Nvidia users from today, as a new driver is now available with additional optimisations for Bethesda's latest RPG. 

Starfield isn't the headlining game of today's GeForce graphics driver update. However, the patch notes do confirm that it does contain performance fixes for Starfield. The two headlining games of today's update are actually Mortal Kombat 1 and Lies of P, with the new driver having Game Ready optimisations for both titles. It is also worth noting that both of these games will also support DLSS at launch for extra performance on RTX graphics cards.

DLSS is also coming to a few more games with this update. Icarus now supports DLSS 3, Ad Infinitum is launching this week with DLSS 2, Warstride Challenges has left Early Access and now supports both DLSS 2 and Nvidia Reflex, Arcadegeddon now supports DLSS 2 and finally, Starsiege: Deadzone has been updated with DLSS 2.

If you're the type of person that likes to avoid messing around in options menus, then the GeForce Experience has now been updated with recommended settings for a few more titles as well, including Starfield, Armored Core 6, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Immortals of Aveum and Wayfinder.

The new GeForce 537.34 driver can now be downloaded via the GeForce Experience app, or directly from Nvidia.

While it was assumed we would see an RTX 4090 Ti at some point this generation, plans appear to have changed. According to reports this week, the RTX 4090 Ti has now been cancelled. 

We've known of a number of cancelled GPUs through leaks over the last couple of generations. During the RTX 30's lifecycle, we were expecting to see a 20GB RTX 3080, but plans for an official release were cancelled. An MSI prototype of this very card recently appeared for sale online. Now, Twitter-based tech leaker, Kopite7kimi has said that there “won't be an RTX 4090 Ti anymore”.

The current RTX 4090 is already pushing the physical limitations of PC hardware with its monstrous dimensions and weighty coolers across the Founder's Edition version and custom versions from AiBs. A more powerful RTX 4090 Ti may have been a step too far.

While it is now claimed that the RTX 4090 Ti is cancelled, Nvidia does apparently have plans for updated versions of other RTX 40 graphics cards. Apparently, some AD103 and AD106 chips will be repurposed for new versions of the RTX 4070 and RTX 4060 but we don't have any further details at this time.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: As always, take rumours with a grain of salt. Still, given how powerful the RTX 4090 already is, I'm not too surprised to hear that we won't be getting an even more powerful version. We may have to wait for Nvidia's next generation of GPUs in late 2024/early 2025 to see the next leap in flagship gaming performance.
