As per the official fluff, DLDSR is set to be the successor to NVIDIA’s Dynamic Super Resolution downscaling technology, which has been available as part of GeForce drivers for some time now. What sets the new feature apart from its predecessor is the inclusion of an AI layer, powered by NVIDIA’s Tensor cores. On that note, it should be clear that the new feature will only be available to GeForce RTX series graphics cards....

In an effort to be brief about it, NVIDIA virtually skimmed through the specifications of these new RTX 3080 Ti and RTX 3070 Ti-powered machines. Starting with the RTX 3080 Ti, the new laptop GPU houses 16GB of what NVIDIA calls its “fastest ever GDDR6” graphics memory, and even goes so far as to say that it outclasses the desktop TITAN RTX GPU. As far as performance goes, the brand says that the GPU is expected to sustain an average of 120 fps with the most demanding titles at 1440p resolutions, with their graphics setting at Ultra, naturally....

According to hongxing2020 (@hongxing2020), the leakster who initially broke the news on the alleged existence of the souped up cards, NVIDIA could very well be preparing to officially break its silence on the cards during the middle of December this year. Specifically, the RTX 2060 will be hitting store shelves on 7 December, while the jacked up RTX 3070 Ti 16Gb and RTX 3080 12GB will both be announced from 17 December, with availabilities set for 11 January onwards....

The elaborate, Thomas had taken a Raspberry Pi 3B+ board and wrote a low-level Vulkan-based RPi-VK-Driver for the platform. In this case, he wrote the driver so that it would be able to run id Software’s Quake 3 on the Raspberry Pi. — Martin Thomas (@0martint) June 19, 2020 The end result is simply quite astonishing and somewhat remarkable. As you can see in the embedded tweet above, Thomas was able to not just get Quake 3 running on the tinker board; he also managed to get it running smoothly, with framerates as high as 100 fps....

News of the card’s sudden death syndrome started cropping up via NVIDIA’s official forums since a few days ago, before being picked up by multiple tech sites, such as Digital Trends. Many users complaining that their RTX 2080 Ti were beginning to show signs of artifacting or just outright BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). Weeks after they had purchased the card. Regarding the artifacting; owners who experienced this issue report that reintalling the drivers doesn’t seem to help the issue....

Based on one posting by CapFrameX (@CapFrameX), the RTX 3090 Ti is expected to only be up to 10% faster than its non-Ti counterpart at 4K resolution, while maintaining a consistent boost clock of 2GHz across the board. To put it in another way, that’s approximately 43 TFLOPs of single-precision compute power being churned out by the RTX 3090 Ti. ▶️ Ti ~10% faster at 4K▶️ 450W power▶️ 2GHz boost@BauduinSven @3DCenter_org @VideoCardz — CapFrameX (@CapFrameX) March 25, 2022 But that’s just one claim in the sea of rumours....

Just to refresh your memory, the OnePlus 10T is an update to this year’s flagship 10 Pro, coming with a slightly downgraded but still decent 1080p 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. It also has an under-display fingerprint scanner but to make room for some other features, the brand has removed the signature physical alert slider on the side. Powering the device is the powerful Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset from Qualcomm, paired with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage....

It seems the rumour may come true, as we recently spotted the Find N2 Flip in the SIRIM database through the MCMC’s CheckYourLabel app. With the model number CPH2437, the OPPO foldable received its SIRIM certification at the tail-end of 2022 on 31 December and was filed by Jie Business Sdn Bhd which is OPPO’s official company name in Malaysia. While the series is the brand’s second generation of foldable, the Find N2 Flip is its first attempt at the clamshell form factor....

Equipped with a 10.36-inch IPS display alongside a native resolution of 2000 x 1200, 60Hz refresh rate, and 120Hz touch sampling rate, the Pad Air is running on the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor which is another factor that differentiates the new model from the original Pad. Further emphasising its compact characteristic, OPPO also claimed that the Pad Air weighs just around 440g alongside a thickness of 6.94mm which is further accented by the texturized metal back that looks rather sleek....

Since it has been about six months since we last heard of the device, here’s a quick refresher. The OPPO Watch features a curved AMOLED panel with 326 ppi, an aluminium body, and is rated 5ATM for water resistance. It also comes in two different sizes: 46mm and 41mm. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFGukB2nl5C/?igshid=1xfqchohf28r0 Under the hood is a Snapdragon Wear 2500 chipset with an Apollo 3 co-processor, 8GB internal storage, and runs on a wearables version of the company’s ColorOS....

As we have seen over the last few weeks, the rakyat are now blessed with a significant reduction in broadband prices, and in most cases higher internet access speeds as well. 1Gbps internet is no longer a luxury service that we need to look south at our neighbours with envy anymore. Unless you’re one of the one million or so Streamyx user that is. While the post MSAP pricing offers connection speeds from 30Mbps to 100Mbps between RM79 to RM99 a month, Streamyx users are still having to fork out between RM110 to RM160 a month for a measly 1Mbps to 8Mbps connection....

To be specific, the Panasonic Lumix GH6 is equipped with a 25.2MP sensor with a high-speed readout via the new Venus Engine image processor. These enable the camera to snap photos at 14 frames per second (fps) with autofocus locked. Also onboard is an all-new five-axis image stabilisation system with 7.5 stops of shake reduction, contrast detect autofocus system, and face/eye/head/body/animal AI-enhanced recognition. For videos, it is capable of shooting up to 10-bit 4:2:0 4K at 120fps, 10-bit 4:2:2 4K at 60fps, and 10-bit 5....

The Kim family live in a cramped and messy semi-basement. Picture boxes and bottles lying around, a narrow corridor that leads to the rooms and the bathroom and a tiny table in the common space in which the Kims cook, eat and gulp Soju till they’re shitfaced (which is all the time, by the way). Their phone lines have been cut no thanks to outstanding bills so they raise their phones as close to the ceiling as possible to connect to and leech off their neighbour’s Wi-Fi....

Based on the Vietnam-based modder’s 13-minute long YouTube video, the custom PS5’s water-cooling components were all made from scratch, creating from first disassembling and reverse-engineering the console. As with all custom-made water-cooled system, the PS5’s custom onboard AMD Ryzen chipset gets a waterblock directly into it. In this case, however, everything – from the waterblock to the piping – is machine cut directly into a single piece of acrylic, which also sort of doubles as the PS5’s side plate....

Talk about being given a wet blanket. Once the game’s Steam page went live, we find out that Phantasy Star Online 2 is region-locked, and we’re locked out of playing the game. ORIGINAL STORY (29 July / 3:45 PM): Anyone here remembers Phantasy Star Online 2? The Sega-made online action RPG was published in Southeast Asia by Asiasoft, but ended the service back in 2017. Now though, it looks like the western release of the game will be coming to Steam....

One caveat to look out for is that the Keluarga Malaysia Pass can only be used on weekends and public holidays. Users of the pass can hop between the LRT, MRT, Monorail, and BRT throughout Klang Valley for the entire day, but the pass is not applicable for Rapid KL busses. This pass can be purchased for RM15 and can be used for a group of up to four people, meaning that each person only pays RM3....

As you can tell from their names, these two models are essentially the 65 and 55-inch variants of the series. Since they came from the same family, both models have pretty much the same ZeroBezel design and features as per its older 86-inch sibling albeit with smaller screen size. Pre-installed with Android TV 10 which provides them with Google Play, Google Assistant, and built-in Chromecast support, both Q65 Pro QE and Q55 Pro QE feature IPS panel that offers backlight technology that PRISM+ called Quantum Colour....

The concept of gaining entry to a vehicle and starting it through a keyfob isn’t exactly new, and the technology itself is already present in certain Proton car models such as the current generation Persona, Iris, and X70. However, its inclusion to the Saga line is a pretty big deal, as it is the company’s more affordable car models. Although, you are expected to fork out a recommended on-the-road price (without insurance) of RM 44,300 for the Premium S – still considerably less pricier than the 2022 Proton Iriz 1....

The cream of the crop is the Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1 platform, which is built on 4nm technology and boasts “ultra-low power”. In fact, Qualcomm claims that it uses a whopping 50% less power than the previous generation Wear 4100+. According to the company, smartwatches last between 15 to 24 hours longer with an Always-On Display when running on the W5 Plus Gen 1 versus when it is fitted with the 4100+....
