Wuchang: Fallen Feathers’ official specifications are misleading. The recommended specs aim for 1080p 60 FPS using “high quality” settings and upscaling. However, they only consider the averages. The frame times and lows are much worse, barely playable on recommended-level hardware: Specs Minimum Recommended Processor Core i5-8400 | Ryzen 5 1600 Core i7-9700 | Ryzen 5 …| Hardware Times
AMD’s board partners seem to be gearing up for the launch of the next-gen Zen 6 processors. Although we’re still a ways off from the official release, internal testing is likely underway. Zen 6 is rumored to expand the memory capabilities of the Ryzen family, featuring two IMCs (Integrated Memory Controllers). Add Hardware Times as …| Hardware Times
The next-gen consoles may leverage a hybrid-core architecture, featuring AMD’s Zen 6 and Zen 6c cores. The latest leak from Moore’s Law is Dead reveals a massive multi-die APU featuring a Zen 6 CPU and (likely) a UDNA GPU. There’s no proof that this SoC will power the Sony PS6 or the next-gen Xbox, but …| Hardware Times
Intel’s switch to a hybrid core architecture aimed to improve multi-threaded performance and optimize the power efficiency of mobility designs. While the former has been somewhat successful, the latter has failed spectacularly. Intel’s 12th and 13th Gen CPUs are much less efficient than rival Ryzen offerings, with the E-cores often degrading performance in latency-sensitive tasks. …| Hardware Times
The 12VHPWR cable is a 16-pin high-power cable (12+4 pins) that can deliver up to 600W of power to modern graphics cards. Instead of several separate 6/8-pin PCIe cables, you can use a single 12VHPWR cable. It debuted in the Nvidia RTX 40 series and has built-in ATX 3.0 / PCIe 5.0 standards. And continues …| Hardware Times
Intel’s Raptor Lake instability issues rocked the chipmaker’s PR image and market share for nearly a year. After several firmware updates and TDP guidelines, the instability was attributed to higher core voltages, which shortened the lifespan. Intel has extended the warranty of processors affected by this issue to five years, a relief for many users …| Hardware Times
Computers, small and large, rely on volatile memory (DRAM) for data processing before saving the results to storage. The memory type varies across devices, often based on the size and power requirements: DDR5/DDR4 memory is commonly used in high-performance laptops, desktops, and workstations. LPDDR5/LPDDR4 is the go-to choice for smartphones and low-power notebooks. GDDR6/GDDR7 is …| Hardware Times
AMD’s Zen 6 processors will take a massive leap in process technology, skipping TSMC’s 3nm-class node for the successive 2nm offerings. This rumor-confirmation comes from @Kepler_L2 on the AnandTech forums, stating that much of the Zen 6 portfolio will be fabbed on TSMC’s N2P node, including: Add Hardware Times as a preferred source for the …| Hardware Times
Intel’s next-gen Nova Lake-S CPU die has allegedly taped out. In other words, the first fabricated dies have arrived from the fab for testing and quality control. The interesting part is that the tape-out comes from TSMC’s 2nm-class manufacturing, making Nova Lake-S the second “Core Ultra” desktop lineup using third-party capacity. Increased Reliance on TSMC; …| Hardware Times
NVIDIA launched the GeForce RTX 5060 in late May with the same 8 GB buffer as its predecessor. The Blackwell budget GPU was panned by gamers and reviewers for its lacklustre performance (versus the RTX 4060 and the 4060 Ti). Despite that, the RTX 5060, particularly the laptop variant, has emerged as the bestselling GPU …| Hardware Times
NVIDIA is prepping to upgrade its GeForce RTX 50 series “Blackwell” GPUs with larger VRAM buffers as part of the mid-cycle Super refresh. Offering marginal generation uplifts, the latest RTX lineup is itself more of a refresh than a new architecture. Multi Frame Generation “multiplies” frame rates, but it requires a fair amount of VRAM; …| Hardware Times
Multi-Frame Generation is the main reason for the existence of the GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards. They offer minimal gen-over-gen rasterization gains, while ray-tracing performance is mostly unchanged. Multi-frame generation is a game-changer in path-traced titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and Dune: Awakening. However, the increased VRAM usage often …| Hardware Times
The Radeon RX 9060 XT is a well-rounded 1080p and 1440p graphics card. It delivers similar performance to the pricier GeForce RTX 5060 Ti ($429), costing $80 less ($349).| Hardware Times
The launch of the Radeon RX 9070 series comes at a pivotal moment for AMD. Following RDNA 3’s underwhelming performance, the RDNA 4 lineup carries the hopes of mainstream PC gamers. NVIDIA’s RTX 40 and 50 series pricing highlights the consequences of a near-monopoly, making AMD’s return to competitiveness critical. While AMD’s GPU market share …| hardwaretimes.com
The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is scheduled to launch today, the third Backwell GPU after the release of the RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080. It features similar specifications as the RTX 4070 Ti Super, including: Shaders/Cores: 8,960 (vs. 8,448) VRAM: 16 GB GDDR7 (vs. GDDR6X) Memory Bus: 256-bit (same) L2 Cache: 64 MB (vs. …| Hardware Times
