PC system requirements should be simple. You look at the minimum, recommended, and potentially higher-tier specs, compare them to your rig, and get a solid idea of what to expect. Easy enough, right? Well, not anymore, sadly. Over the last decade or so, PC game system requirements (or PC specs) have become incredibly messy, inconsistent, and sometimes borderline useless. We are dealing with vague targets, aggressive temporal upscaling hidden behind an inconspicuous “1080p” or “4K” label, and "60 FPS" targets that incredibly rely on frame generation, which is absolutely not the same thing as actually rendering 60 full game frames […]

AMD has unveiled the naming of the next generation of the FSR stack, called "Diamond", which will be a crucial part of Microsoft's Project Helix. AMD's FSR Diamond Now Brings In ML-Focused Upscaling Capabilities, But It Might Be Limited to RDNA 5 The focus on upscaling technologies has seen immense progress in recent times from both NVIDIA and AMD, and at this year's GDC, we saw a showcase of DLSS 4.5 capabilities combined with MFG 6X mode. And now, AMD's SVP and GM of Computing Graphics, Jack Huynh, has revealed the role of FSR with Microsoft's Project Helix, where, according […]
