Frame generation (oftentimes abbreviated as “FG”) has quickly solidified itself as one of the most vital and hotly debated innovations in modern PC gaming. When implemented correctly and used properly, it can greatly enhance the smoothness of modern, demanding PC games, particularly on high-refresh-rate monitors. Unfortunately, it’s also very easy to misuse under many circumstances, by game developers and gamers alike. As such, we decided to write this guide to illustrate the most optimal ways of using frame generation in modern PC games. Let's clear something up right away: Frame generation isn't a panacea meant to fix low gaming performance […]

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced introduces plenty of new features to the game, including some optional cosmetics that allow you to customize Edward, your crewmates and the Jackdaw ship. While some of these cosmetics can only be purchased with real money via the game's criticized microtransactions, there are a few active codes available that will grant you access to both new cosmetics and Animus Keys which can be used in the Animus Hub Exchange to buy some cosmetics.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a rather faithful remake of the fourth entry in the series. Even so, the remake does feature plenty of new content to sink your teeth into, including a late-game new questline called A World Without Gold, which comprises eight new quests. Here's how you can unlock this new questline tying all of the remake's new content together. How to Unlock A World Without Gold The A World Without Gold questline is unlocked after completing Sequence 11: Everything is Permitted, so you will have to play through most of the game's story before you can access the new […]

Like every other modern video game, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced offers a wealth of settings to adjust, allowing you to tailor the experience to your liking. No matter your preferences, however, there are a few settings you should consider changing as soon as possible to have a much better time accompanying Edward Kenway on his journey in the Carribean. Area Loot Area Loot is a very useful option to have turned on at all times. This allows you to collect all nearby loot with a single button press, instead of collecting each item individually. As there is literally no […]

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced significantly changes the original game's combat mechanics, adding modern features that make it far more enjoyable to take on enemies. Although the combat system is relatively simple to understand, it holds a surprising amount of depth for an Assassin's Creed game, featuring a couple of hidden mechanics that can make quite a difference. Parries Are Omnidirectional Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's combat mechanics place great emphasis on Takedowns, which are made it very easy by the Perfect Parry mechanics: press the L1/ LB button exactly when the enemy flashes, and you can start a Takedown […]

A Windows PC can look seemingly fine and yet still have some nagging issues. Your CPU usage may be low, your GPU may be running well, your gaming performance may be fine, and yet you may still get random audio crackles, mouse hitches, USB audio dropouts, or short system-wide freezes that seem to come out of nowhere. One possible culprit is high DPC latency. This is one of those technical problems that sounds obscure at first, but once you understand the gist of it, it becomes much easier to diagnose properly. More importantly, it is also one of those problems […]

With modern PC games becoming increasingly heavy — especially open-world titles built on Unreal Engine 5 — default graphics presets rarely (if ever) provide the best balance between visual fidelity and performance. Gothic 1 Remake is no exception to that rule. Alkimia Interactive’s remake of the cult-classic RPG is clearly much more visually ambitious than the 2001 original, with a fully rebuilt Valley of Mines, dense settlements, physically richer materials, dynamic lighting, more detailed characters, thicker foliage, and a far more cinematic presentation. However, that jump in visual ambition also comes with a fairly steep hardware cost, and frankly, the […]

Ah, the ultimate PC gaming boogeyman: “Is my CPU bottlenecking my graphics card?” It’s the first question we ask ourselves when building a new rig, slapping in a shiny GPU upgrade, or wondering why a game feels like a stuttery mess despite dropping a small fortune on PC hardware. But here is the hard truth, folks: a bottleneck isn’t a permanent stamp on your PC. It is a dynamic, fast-shifting state dictated by the specific game you're playing, the resolution you're running, your graphics presets, and your target framerate. Your system can be completely GPU-bound in a graphically heavy AAA […]

With Unreal Engine 5 games becoming increasingly common on PC, it is always interesting to see which developers can actually tame Epic Games’ state-of-the-art engine rather than simply brute-forcing their way to good visuals at a massive performance cost. Fatekeeper is a very interesting case in that regard. THQ Nordic and Paraglacial’s dark fantasy first-person RPG is still in a very early access state, so it would be unfair to judge it as if it were a finished product. However, from a technical standpoint, Fatekeeper already manages to stand out as one of the most impressive Unreal Engine 5 releases […]

Let's face it: the days of running FurMark for 30 minutes, watching nothing explode, and calling your GPU "stable" are long gone. Modern GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel are smarter, more power-hungry, and far more dynamic in their clock-speed behavior than the older graphics cards we grew up overclocking. GPU synthetic/stress tests like FurMark, OCCT, and 3DMark absolutely still have their place, but treating any single tool as the holy grail of stability is a big mistake. Today's GPUs constantly juggle clocks, voltages, and temperatures on the fly. A GPU overclock (or undervolt) that flies through a traditional rasterized […]

007 First Light is a very interesting PC release to analyze. On the one hand, IO Interactive’s latest game can look quite good in the right scenes, especially thanks to its strong lighting, high-quality character rendering, solid animation work, and cinematic presentation. On the other hand, it is also a rather frustrating PC port in several important ways, as most of its graphics settings barely scale, some of its temporal reconstruction options behave strangely, and the game can suffer from truly massive performance drops during large explosions. This guide should hopefully help you strike the best balance between visuals and […]

With PC games becoming increasingly complex nowadays — especially open-world games built on Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5 — default/maxed-out graphics settings rarely, if ever, strike the optimal balance between visual fidelity and performance that most PC gamers seek, and LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is no exception to this rule. TT Games’ latest LEGO Batman adventure is certainly a much more visually ambitious game than the studio’s older LEGO titles, with its open-world Gotham City, dense streets, detailed LEGO characters and assets, physically convincing plastic materials, attractive effects, and state-of-the-art UE5-powered visuals. However, this added visual ambition […]

In Subnautica 2, you'll very quickly learn that resources like Copper, Titanium, and Quartz are the building blocks of what you'll need to do, well, anything, the more you progress in the game. You'll always need more of all three of those resources, and they're thankfully easy to find in every part of the map. What's not as easy to find, however, are Necrolei Cysts. It's a resource that you'll need for a key crafted resource, Strong Acid, an ingredient you'll need to craft a Power Cell, which you'll need for when you want to craft your first Tadpole in […]

With PC games growing increasingly complex nowadays — especially those built on Epic Games' infamous Unreal Engine 5 — default/maxed-out graphics settings rarely, if ever, strike the optimal balance between visual fidelity and performance that most PC gamers seek, and Directive 8020 is sadly no exception to this rule. As a demanding UE5-powered cinematic horror game, it should come as no surprise that the game's maxed-out High graphics preset, even without ray tracing or path tracing enabled, can be quite GPU-heavy. However, what is a bit more disappointing is that Directive 8020 ends up being heavier on the GPU than […]

As is the case with any good survival crafting game, there are certain crafting milestones you reach that dramatically open the game up more than what was previously possible. For Subnautica 2, in its current early access state, arguably the biggest milestone to reach is when you craft your first Tadpole, the vehicle that lets you explore the alien ocean with ease. Essentially, half of what's currently available to explore in the game is locked behind your ability to craft a Tadpole, so you're going to want to get there as soon as you can. This guide will show you […]

With PC games becoming increasingly complex nowadays — especially large-scale open-world games with dense environments, high-speed traversal, and ray/path tracing — default/maxed-out graphics settings rarely, if ever, strike the optimal balance between visual fidelity and performance that most PC gamers seek, and Forza Horizon 6 is no exception to this rule. Thankfully, Playground Games’ latest open-world racing title arrives on PC with an impressively complete graphics menu, support for modern temporal upscaling solutions, uncapped framerates, ultrawide support, ray-traced reflections, ray-traced global illumination, and even live previews for many of its individual graphics settings. However, while Forza Horizon 6 is a […]

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight supports all major controllers on PC, including the DualSense controller. Support for the PlayStation 5 controller is among the best we have seen in recent times, as the controller's haptic feedback is also supported via a wireless Bluetooth connection. However, some players may not be able to enjoy these features or even see the correct DualSense icons when playing the game on PC via Steam. As there are no settings to change in the game's options menu, you will need to tweak your Steam settings to fix this issue. Disabling Steam Input If […]
