FSR 3 removed from Nightingale’s launch plan with ‘a significant number’ of game crashes blamed on the AMD tech ‘whether or not users had the setting turned on’

Nightingale, the latest hit in the sea of co-op survival games, has been running into a number of problems in its recent server stress test. That’s par for the course of any online beta, but the developers noticed something very specific about a significant number of the crashes recorded: No matter whether it was enabled […]

You can run Nvidia CUDA applications natively on Radeon GPUs thanks to ZLUDA, the open-source project that AMD once funded

You don’t need to be a professional content creator or an expert in data analysis to know that when it comes to GPUs for these roles, one manufacturer dominates the market: Nvidia. That’s almost entirely down to CUDA, a programming platform that’s been around for years. AMD has its own system called ROCm but it’s […]

GPU leaker is claiming RDNA 4 engineering samples are boosting between 3 and 3.3GHz. Remember when AMD said that about RNDA 3?

Another week, another new GPU rumour! Travelling through the hallways of the web is a claim that AMD’s forthcoming RDNA 4 graphics chips will potentially be running at a clock level much higher than we’ve seen before from Team Red. Specifically, the claims suggest the higher-end version of the next-gen GPUs can boost up to […]

Radeon graphics cards maybe aren’t as popular as AMD might like us to think they are, at least according to the Steam HW Survey

Valve’s monthly analysis of its Steam Hardware Survey for January was published the other day and the figures made for interesting, if not unexpected, reading. For example, Windows 11 was making small gains against Windows 10, and the number of CPU cores and amount of system RAM are all steadily increasing. I’ve been monitoring the […]

Valve continues to improve the gaming performance of Linux open source drivers for AMD GPUs, as part of the Mesa project

Mesa is a long-running project that started life as an open-source driver, bringing the OpenGL graphics API to a host of different platforms. Today, developers from AMD, Google, Intel, and others all take part. One of the most well-known Mesa drivers is RADV: A Vulkan-based driver specifically for AMD’s GPUs running on a Linux operating […]

AMD’s pre-RDNA graphics products are ready to be put out to pasture as active driver support winds down

It’s a given that graphics card vendors will fully support their products long after they disappear from store shelves. But for how long? Not that long apparently, if you’re using a Polaris or particularly Vega-based graphics card or APU based on the Graphics Core Next-series of architectures. Our sister site Anandtech reported that AMD is […]

The Alan Wake II mesh shader issue is a reminder that one day your mega expensive GPU just won’t be good enough to run the very latest games

As reported just yesterday, if you’re a proud owner of a Radeon RX 5700-series graphics card, you’ve got little chance of being able to play Alan Wake 2. That’s because the game uses a feature of DirectX 12 called mesh shaders and that particular GPU doesn’t support them. And yet the GPU’s architecture is only […]

AMD kicks its new Anti-Lag+ feature out of its latest drivers, stripping support and the potential for player bans from games

Just one day after AMD removed Anti-Lag+ for Counter-Strike 2, to prevent any more players from potentially receiving account bans, there’s now a new driver set that’s stripped the feature altogether. That’s a pretty drastic move but it’s far better than incurring further wrath from the gaming community. The idea behind AMD’s Anti-Lag tech is […]

AMD’s newly announced RX 6750 GRE cards are strong RTX 4060 competitors, though you won’t find them on shelves in the west

After months of rumors, AMD has officially announced not one, but two Radeon RX 6750 Golden Rabbit Edition graphics cards. Like the RX 7900 GRE, the RX 6750 GRE cards will only be available to DIY buyers in China, though as Videocardz reports, the cards will also appear in OEM systems in western markets.  Both […]

AMD yeets its latest GPU driver in response to Anti-Lag+ causing bans in Counter-Strike 2

As reported a few days ago, Counter-Strike 2 players using Radeon Anti-Lag+ technology in the latest GPU drivers were finding that it didn’t help matters at all. In fact, it resulted in accounts being banned as Valve’s anti-cheat system didn’t like the latency reduction system. AMD’s response to the whole problem? Yank the drivers off […]

AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames tech now works in any DX11 and DX12 game with any RX 7000 and RX 6000-series graphics card

AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) technology took a while to come to market. When it made its debut just over a couple of weeks back, support was limited to just two games: Forspoken and Immortals of Aveum. It appears as though AMD is happy with how the tech is maturing, as it’s just released a […]

No amount of GPU refreshes are going to fix my disappointment in the current generation. And I say that as someone who actually bought an RTX 4070 Ti

All of the main releases for AMD, Intel, and Nvidia’s latest generation of GPUs are now out, except for maybe something at the very bottom of the performance ladder. That means the next round of new graphics cards we’re likely to see will be refreshes of some kind. For Nvidia, that used to mean a […]
