			<title>AMD Loses Desktop CPU Share for the First Time in Months, Intel Regains Ground</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354824/amd-loses-desktop-cpu-share-for-the-first-time-in-months-intel-regains-ground</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354824/amd-loses-desktop-cpu-share-for-the-first-time-in-months-intel-regains-ground#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>0</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[AMD's share of desktop CPU shipments fell to 29.9% in the third quarter of 2026, according to new <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mercuryresearch.com/" target="_blank">Mercury Research</a> data, shared by <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/processors/intel-takes-massive-chunk-out-of-amds-desktop-cpu-market-share-in-unexpected-turnaround-may-be-due-to-the-red-teams-dominance-in-gaming-chips-weirdly/" target="_blank">PC Gamer</a>. That's a five-point drop from the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/351908/amd-gains-ground-as-intel-x86-market-share-goes-back-to-1995-levels" target="_blank">34.9% AMD held in Q2</a>, with Intel climbing back to 70.1%. It's also AMD's lowest desktop figure since early 2025, when it sat at around 28%. A year ago, AMD held 33.6% of the desktop market.<br />
<br />
Mercury itself admits it isn't sure what caused the swing. Its best guess is that weaker laptop demand let Intel shift more chips to desktops, which usually see a seasonal bump in the third quarter, after Intel had been under-supplying that market earlier in the year. AMD, on the other hand, didn't seem to get that seasonal increase. Mercury also points to AMD's heavier reliance on PC gaming, a market it says has been hurt by supply constraints on gaming GPUs. On top of that, AMD has openly admitted that <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353445/amd-ceo-lisa-su-says-2027-will-bring-a-substantial-supply-increase" target="_blank">demand is running ahead</a> of what it can ship, and Lisa Su recently called AMD a <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354543/amd-goes-data-center-first-while-gaming-revenue-drops-40" target="_blank">&quot;data center first&quot; company</a>.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/nDobEMfsaP1UYPq3.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/nDobEMfsaP1UYPq3_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/A2kVRyEOm3QmoAFV.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1510" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/A2kVRyEOm3QmoAFV_thm.jpg" width="204" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/oSodria7d2uTOOAE.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1574" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/oSodria7d2uTOOAE_thm.jpg" width="213" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354824/amd-loses-desktop-cpu-share-for-the-first-time-in-months-intel-regains-ground">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Intel Core Ultra 7 260K Arrives Without an Announcement, Limited to Two Prebuilt Desktops</title>

The <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.newegg.com/abs-kaze-ii-white-gaming-desktop-pcs-geforce-rtx-5060-intel-core-ultra-7-260k-32gb-ddr5-1tb-nvme-ssd-k2a57n56r1/p/N82E16883362061" target="_blank">Kaze II Aqua</a> pairs it with an RTX 5060 for $1,699.99, while the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.newegg.com/abs-flux-ii-gaming-desktop-pc-geforce-rtx-5070-intel-core-ultra-7-260k-32gb-ddr5-1tb-nvme-ssd-f2a57n57r1-black/p/N82E16883362062" target="_blank">Flux II Aqua</a> steps up to an RTX 5070 for $1,999.99. Newegg confirmed the chip is exclusive to its ABS systems and won't be sold separately. Per <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/unannounced-intel-core-ultra-7-260k-cpu-surfaces-in-newegg-prebuilt-gaming-pcs-intel-doesnt-have-official-specs-list-available-for-exclusive-arrow-lake-chip" target="_blank">Tom's Hardware</a>, Intel has since described it as a &quot;limited-availability&quot; SKU with no boxed retail version, and its specifications should appear on Intel's website within a few days.<br />
<br />
Going by Newegg's own <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.newegg.com/insider/intel-core-ultra-7-260k-abs-gaming-pcs" target="_blank">buying guide</a>, the 260K looks like a <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-ultra-7-265k/" target="_blank">Core Ultra 7 265K</a> with a slightly lower clock speed ceiling. It keeps the same 8P+12E core layout, 30 MB of L3 cache, 125 W base power, and DDR5-6400 support for up to 256 GB of memory, but the P-cores top out at 5.4 GHz instead of 5.5 GHz. That DDR5-6400 limit places it in the original Arrow Lake family rather than the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/347251/intel-launches-arrow-lake-refresh-core-ultra-5-250k-plus-and-core-ultra-7-270k-plus-new-binary-optimization-tool" target="_blank">Arrow Lake Refresh lineup</a>, so it misses out on DDR5-7200 support and Intel's <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-core-ultra-7-270k-plus/25.html" target="_blank">Binary Optimization Tool</a> as well.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/aSReqTWcS6ozZjmI.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="720" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/aSReqTWcS6ozZjmI_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/lJiNQH3xOpSWvvfi.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1896" data-height="775" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/lJiNQH3xOpSWvvfi_thm.jpg" width="318" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Tp0HXJwD40HIzqFQ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1894" data-height="769" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Tp0HXJwD40HIzqFQ_thm.jpg" width="320" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354821/intel-core-ultra-7-260k-arrives-without-an-announcement-limited-to-two-prebuilt-desktops">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Astro Bot Runs Natively on PC Through AnyPS5, With DLSS Frame Generation</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354807/astro-bot-runs-natively-on-pc-through-anyps5-with-dlss-frame-generation</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354807/astro-bot-runs-natively-on-pc-through-anyps5-with-dlss-frame-generation#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>0</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[PlayStation 5 exclusive Astro Bot now runs on Windows with DLSS Super Resolution, DLSS Frame Generation, and Reflex support, thanks to an unofficial port from GitHub user <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/imnotsharingmyname/pcportastrobot" target="_blank">imnotsharingmyname</a>. Technically, it's a port, not running through any PS5 emulator. <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353098/anyps5-project-skips-emulation-entirely-aims-to-port-playstation-5-games-to-pc-directly" target="_blank">AnyPS5 relinks</a> the PS5 game's x86-64 code into a Windows executable and swaps in native versions of the console's system libraries, while a GPU layer borrowed from the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/352655/demons-souls-remake-goes-from-unplayable-to-30-fps-on-ps5-emulator-in-days" target="_blank">KytyPS5 emulator</a> translates the graphics work to Vulkan. Players have to supply their own decrypted dump of version 01.019.000, and no game files are included.<br />
<br />
The port hooks Astro Bot's own temporal upscale pass at runtime and feeds its color, depth, and motion vector data into DLSS through NVIDIA's Streamline SDK. On a Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 5060, and 32 GB of RAM at 1440p, the developer measured 32 to 34 FPS in Sky Garden, the heaviest area tested, and roughly 37 to 53 FPS elsewhere. Frame Generation brings that to around 63 FPS on screen, while 4x Multi Frame Generation hits 124 to 128 FPS. Apparently, the game is heavily CPU-limited, with about 22 ms of each 30 ms frame spent submitting draws on a single thread, so lowering the resolution doesn't help much. Frame Generation needs an RTX 40 card, the 3x and 4x modes need RTX 50, and input latency hasn't been measured yet.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/p0PwXNZS4KUCvfoK.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1396" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/p0PwXNZS4KUCvfoK_thm.jpg" width="189" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/raXYDL3FHi5Y3fKR.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1058" data-height="714" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/raXYDL3FHi5Y3fKR_thm.jpg" width="193" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/YU7Vtzl0M9WotC4F.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="990" data-height="637" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/YU7Vtzl0M9WotC4F_thm.jpg" width="202" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354807/astro-bot-runs-natively-on-pc-through-anyps5-with-dlss-frame-generation">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>GTA 5 Sees Sales Spike Ahead of GTA VI Launch</title>

According to recent data published by Alinea Analytics's <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/superhys/status/2121255972622553204" target="_blank">Rhys Elliott</a>, Grand Theft Auto V has sold a total of 150,000 copies in the first 13 days of November 2026 and garnered 16 million monthly active users to date for November, across all three platforms where it is available. <br />
<br />
According to Elliott, 54.2% of new GTA V sales were on PS5, while 25.2% were on Steam, and an additional 20.6% were on Xbox. This follows a legendary run in Q2 2026, during which Take-Two Interactive says GTA V sold over 5 million copies, bringing its grand total to over 235 million sales and $10 billion in revenue. <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/347866/estimates-say-gta-vi-may-have-cost-usd-2-1-usd-3-bn-in-salaries-alone" target="_blank">Previous estimates put the budget of the upcoming GTA VI</a> at as high as $3 billion on salaries alone, suggesting the actual budget to be over $5 billion.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/a8PkwK47mom0kutp.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/a8PkwK47mom0kutp_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/C5Ma4NDPQvyyMK7o.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/C5Ma4NDPQvyyMK7o_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354819/gta-5-sees-sales-spike-ahead-of-gta-vi-launch">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

The deal is valid in the US, and it is only valid for PCs purchased until December 31, 2026. <br />
<br />
Some of the highlights in the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/xbox-bundle-terms-and-conditions" target="_blank">game bundle</a> include Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, Doom and Doom II, The Outer Worlds, and Gears of War: Reloaded. While Microsoft has been vague about the eligible devices, it includes select PCs with Windows Home or OEM and NVIDIA Spark PCs with Windows Pro. There is also a page on the Microsoft online store that lists eligible PCs, which include everything from the Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1 to the HP OmniDesk AI and the Dell Alienware Aurora desktop. PCs purchased from authorized retailers will also be eligible, and the announcement deliberately calls out gaming handhelds, like the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/tkrNJXUcxP2pvWxh.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1561" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/tkrNJXUcxP2pvWxh_thm.jpg" width="211" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/cHzdww2MhjX3N1L8.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1198" data-height="898" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/cHzdww2MhjX3N1L8_thm.jpg" width="173" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354817/xbox-bundles-25-games-with-new-windows-pcs-until-end-2026">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

The reason behind this was to maintain the perception of ongoing high demand and to move an oversupply of semiconductors from TSMC. <br />
<br />
The WSJ report cites an August meeting between Huang and his senior finance team, including NVIDIA's CFO and acting CEO, Colette Kress, during which Kress pushed for a reduction in circular financing agreements, in response to which Huang allegedly lay into Kress, calling her a &quot;deer in the headlights,&quot; after she had pushed to scale back <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/351120/nvidia-and-openai-reportedly-discuss-usd-250-billion-deal-for-10-gigawatt-ohio-data-center" target="_blank">NVIDIA's $250 billion deal with OpenAI</a>. Jensen's push for further investment into small-scale cloud providers was seemingly in response to the changing tide that saw AI hyperscalers move away from off-the-shelf components in favor of custom solutions.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ooCln2q3jkKNGHen.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1440" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ooCln2q3jkKNGHen_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354814/nvidia-allegedly-engineered-scarcity-by-funding-ai-startups-to-buy-its-gpus">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Modder Builds Keybytes: Modular Magnetic Keyboard System Made with Single Key Building Blocks</title>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354802/modder-builds-keybytes-modular-magnetic-keyboard-system-made-with-single-key-building-blocks#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>2</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[The world of DIY mechanical keyboards is full of niche devices with unique designs, and more than a few gimmicks. Keybytes, a new project by a modder who goes by notaroomba on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/NotARoomba/keybytes" target="_blank">GitHub</a> via <a rel="nofollow" href="https://kbd.news/Keybytes-2938.html" target="_blank">KBDnews</a>, falls somewhere between the former and the latter, and mostly serves as an interesting proof of concept. Keybytes a modular mechanical keyboard project designed for ultimate customization. The basic idea is to have single mechanical keyboard sockets with full-height MX mechanical switches, aka Keybits, each with their own PCB and magnetic connectors that allow them to snap together, effectively creating an infinitely reconfigurable keyboard. <br />
<br />
The whole project hinges on the Keyword, a motherboard of sorts that contains the USB Type-C port, battery charging circuitry, and a STM32WB55 MCU. That motherboard connects to each Keybit, each of which also has its own RISC-V CH592F MCU and some clever tricks that allow the bits to connect in a rotation-agnostic way. There are also alternative PCB options, including one with a 3-axis Hall sensor, which would allow for something like a joystick or Hall effect switch implementation, and there are also spacer Keybits with power passthrough in 1u, 0.75u, and 0.5u units. In the latest design revision, each of the Keybits also has six magnets per side and automatic polarity detection, meaning switches can be arranged in-line or at 25%, 50%, or 75% offsets.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/60p4MlUE1EvWH5rH.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/60p4MlUE1EvWH5rH_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/et20Hv8UE5IeqQGv.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1600" data-height="900" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/et20Hv8UE5IeqQGv_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/N9Dabs4ZUzYCxsLC.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/N9Dabs4ZUzYCxsLC_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/gh3Q8xzWXEM58wpO.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1518" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/gh3Q8xzWXEM58wpO_thm.jpg" width="206" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354802/modder-builds-keybytes-modular-magnetic-keyboard-system-made-with-single-key-building-blocks">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Intel&#039;s ISA Reference Confirms Razor Lake Desktop and Laptop Model IDs</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354804/intels-isa-reference-confirms-razor-lake-desktop-and-laptop-model-ids</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354804/intels-isa-reference-confirms-razor-lake-desktop-and-laptop-model-ids#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>2</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Intel has added Razor Lake and Coral Rapids to the November edition of its <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cdrdv2-public.intel.com/932753/319433-063-architecture-instruction-set-extensions-programming-reference.pdf" target="_blank">Architecture Instruction Set Extensions Programming Reference</a>, the document developers use to prepare software for upcoming chips. Revision 063 gives Razor Lake four new model values under family 18 (12H), the same family as Nova Lake, with 12_06H and 12_0AH covering desktop parts and 12_07H and 12_09H covering laptops. The Coral Rapids Xeon family gets 13_08H, following Diamond Rapids at 13_01H. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://bsky.app/profile/instlatx64.bsky.social/post/3n26kw3gwf22q" target="_blank">InstLatX64</a> spotted the update and shared it on Bluesky.<br />
<br />
The new feature entries are fairly small. Razor Lake picks up SSBD_PSFD_U_S, which seems to allow separate user-mode and supervisor-mode control over certain speculative memory behavior, while both families gain APIC-Timer Virtualization for virtual machines. Coral Rapids also gets a new instruction called VPMLDSABFLYDQ, aimed at ML-DSA, the quantum-resistant digital signature standard. According to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-GCC-Coral-Rapids-Razor" target="_blank">Intel's GCC patches</a>, posted this week, Razor Lake carries the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/342881/intel-officially-confirms-avx10-2-and-apx-support-in-nova-lake" target="_blank">same ISA feature set as Nova Lake</a>, which should mean AVX10.2 and APX carry over, though the reference itself doesn't list Razor Lake under those rows yet. Coral Rapids sticks with AVX10.2 rather than the newer AVX10.3, at least for now.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/dAUZ3wXKDH00xQZj.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1447" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/dAUZ3wXKDH00xQZj_thm.jpg" width="196" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/9NVxOLSnIkM4kFKz.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1044" data-height="759" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/9NVxOLSnIkM4kFKz_thm.jpg" width="179" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/WM2C1BGDtFMkagi5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1047" data-height="357" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/WM2C1BGDtFMkagi5_thm.jpg" width="381" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354804/intels-isa-reference-confirms-razor-lake-desktop-and-laptop-model-ids">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

The groundbreaking marks the start of construction on a new 300 mm fab and a first-of-its-kind model that brings together Japanese investment with GF's technology and manufacturing expertise to expand trusted U.S. semiconductor capacity and support growing demand across automotive, industrial and connected infrastructure markets.<br />
<br />
The groundbreaking follows GF's Oct. 14 announcement that it was selected as the technology provider and operator for two new fabs at its Malta site under a U.S.-Japan initiative providing up to $21 billion in funding. Japan will provide the investment, while GF will contribute its differentiated technologies, manufacturing expertise and proven operational capabilities. An initial investment of approximately $10 billion, supported with $570 million in incentives from New York State is accelerating construction of the first fab, which is expected to come online in 2029. An additional investment of approximately $10 billion will support a second fab as the project advances.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/FllHBbtg0VR0qd3K.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1440" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/FllHBbtg0VR0qd3K_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/gsUVpwtu4fDrs4nN.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/gsUVpwtu4fDrs4nN_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/2AIrQnYDAdCgNgAE.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/2AIrQnYDAdCgNgAE_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354803/globalfoundries-breaks-ground-on-first-new-semiconductor-fab-under-landmark-u-s-japan-initiative">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

Speaking with Christopher Dring of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thegamebusiness.com/p/the-two-indie-game-legends-going" target="_blank">The Game Business</a>, Zelnick said some form of physical business will always exist, just a very small one. The comments arrive less than a week before GTA 6 launches on November 19, with its boxed edition shipping a download code instead of a disc. Here's what he said:<blockquote class="quote"><small>Strauss Zelnick, Take-Two CEO</small>It may not be the end, but listen, we've been talking, you and I, for a long time. I predicted that digital distribution would be well over 90% of the business more than 10 years ago. I don't always get it right, but this one I got right. Will there always be some physical business? Yes, in the same way that there's still a vinyl business in recorded music.

			<title>Microsoft 365 Outage Enters Second Day as Outlook and Teams Struggle to Recover</title>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354799/microsoft-365-outage-enters-second-day-as-outlook-and-teams-struggle-to-recover#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>21</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Outlook, Teams, and Copilot users are now into the second day of a Microsoft 365 outage that started on Thursday, November 12. The trouble began with Exchange Online, Microsoft's email backend, and within roughly an hour Downdetector was logging reports from 74 countries and territories, with around 130,000 Outlook reports at the peak. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://status.cloud.microsoft/" target="_blank">Microsoft's service health page</a> still lists a service degradation, and its latest update says engineers are working through &quot;residual impact&quot; while checking that recovery holds up.<br />
<br />
There is no official root cause yet. Microsoft has blamed a number of servers becoming &quot;unexpectedly unavailable,&quot; and Charles Lamanna, executive vice president of Copilot, Agents, and Platform, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/clamanna/status/2121085008966529423" target="_blank">said on X</a> there is &quot;no indication&quot; of malicious or cyber activity. Australia's home affairs minister Tony Burke went a step further, saying Microsoft likened it to the 2024 <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/324674/faulty-windows-update-from-crowdstrike-hits-banks-and-airlines-around-the-world" target="_blank">CrowdStrike incident</a>, in which an update went wrong, though Microsoft hasn't confirmed that publicly. Anything that depends on Exchange Online is affected, including Copilot's access to mail, calendars, and files, while core Teams calls and chats have largely kept working. OpenAI and Anthropic also reported broken Microsoft 365 connectors for ChatGPT and Claude.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/W80JIyJNJRKyQuti.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1186" data-height="720" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/W80JIyJNJRKyQuti_thm.jpg" width="214" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/EYxDxMTnGum8XFbd.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1628" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/EYxDxMTnGum8XFbd_thm.jpg" width="220" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354799/microsoft-365-outage-enters-second-day-as-outlook-and-teams-struggle-to-recover">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

<br />
Not much is known about the new Rainbow Six: Vegas game other than that it is in development and that Ubisoft is developing the game in its new Vantage Studios subsidiary, which is partially owned by Tencent.

With the PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION models, the German audio specialist beyerdynamic brings this approach to four of its professional studio headphones. The DT 770 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION, DT 990 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION, DT 700 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION and DT 900 PRO X LIMITED BLACK EDITION offer an exclusive all-black design and the 'Made in Germany' quality standard, combining their strengths for various professional applications. These special editions will be available in limited numbers from 13 November 2026.<br />
<br />
<b>Far more than just a visual detail </b><br />
The all-black design is proven to be more than just an aesthetic choice by its professional use at LITTLE BIG BEAT STUDIOS in Liechtenstein. The studio is renowned for its elaborately produced headphone concerts featuring international musicians. The black version of the DT 770 PRO X was developed in response to a specific production requirement for the STUDIO LIVE SESSIONS produced there.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Yha9blItgNxkFhJ9.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="900" data-height="700" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Yha9blItgNxkFhJ9_thm.jpg" width="167" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/SOeylPJAExdH57HM.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/SOeylPJAExdH57HM_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/FH5YHLw0fAon6vhV.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/FH5YHLw0fAon6vhV_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Gr37QPQp8eZCBweC.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Gr37QPQp8eZCBweC_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/EFzs32JfbexeP37K.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/EFzs32JfbexeP37K_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354790/beyerdynamic-announces-four-new-pro-x-limited-black-edition-studio-headphones">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Microsoft Turns On Memory Integrity for More Windows 11 PCs With November Update</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354789/microsoft-turns-on-memory-integrity-for-more-windows-11-pcs-with-november-update</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354789/microsoft-turns-on-memory-integrity-for-more-windows-11-pcs-with-november-update#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>10</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Plenty of Windows 11 PCs upgraded from Windows 10 could find Memory Integrity switched on after this month's Patch Tuesday. The November security update, KB5132061, carries over a change from the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354388/microsoft-adds-cloud-rebuild-recovery-to-windows-11-in-latest-preview-update" target="_blank">optional October 28 preview</a> (KB5127936) that lets Windows enable Memory Integrity, also called Hypervisor-Protected Code Integrity (HVCI), on eligible devices during the update. Microsoft <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/352283/microsoft-will-bring-memory-integrity-protection-to-more-windows-11-pcs-in-october" target="_blank">first announced the plan</a> in September, and the change applies to Windows 11 25H2 and 26H2 as a gradual rollout. PCs where a user or IT admin already turned the feature off are left alone.<br />
<br />
Memory Integrity depends on Virtualization-Based Security (VBS), with driver verification handled inside a hypervisor-managed environment, so malware that takes over the kernel still can't sneak in an unverified driver. Windows runs readiness checks on hardware, drivers, and performance first, and also enables VBS on PCs that lack it. It looks like eligible systems need at least an 8th Gen Intel or AMD Zen 2 processor. The performance cost hasn't gone away, though. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tomshardware.com/news/windows-vbs-harms-performance-rtx-4090" target="_blank">Tom's Hardware's 2023 testing</a> with a Core i9-13900K and RTX 4090 showed an average drop of around 5% in games, up to 10% in some titles. Microsoft told gamers in a 2022 support article, since pulled, to disable it for better performance, which is a bit awkward next to its <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/343895/microsoft-promises-more-performant-windows-11-optimized-for-gaming" target="_blank">promise to make Windows the best place to play</a>.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/MO03cm6QBzCFB3eb.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="843" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/MO03cm6QBzCFB3eb_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/wsexYKIgFRTmbPE8.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="969" data-height="728" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/wsexYKIgFRTmbPE8_thm.jpg" width="173" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354789/microsoft-turns-on-memory-integrity-for-more-windows-11-pcs-with-november-update">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

<br />
The news was shared in a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/asha_shar/status/2121030203439010175" target="_blank">post on X</a>, where she confirmed that Machine Games would again be heading up development of the third game in the franchise reboot. Not much else has been revealed about the game other than a snippet of game script that seemingly reveals the return of Fergus, who kicks off a scene interrogating a prisoner.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/TuL11dwliNqllxF2.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="866" data-height="636" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/TuL11dwliNqllxF2_thm.jpg" width="177" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/PXoYtpJRDE4Yji24.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="936" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/PXoYtpJRDE4Yji24_thm.jpg" width="127" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354770/xbox-confirms-wolfenstein-3-coming-soon-and-id-software-teases-next-doom-game">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>SteamOS Beta Drops Fixes For High Refresh Displays and HDR Content</title>

The most recent update to the SteamOS beta channel, SteamOS 3.9.6, has just been pushed, with improvements to VRR, high framerate games, and high refresh rate monitors. <br />
<br />
Aside from the usual line-up of bug fixes for edge cases, the update notes directly mention improved frame timing when using a combination of VRR and the framerate limiter, a change that will likely be noticeable in how games feel to play; improved frame timing without VRR and with the framerate limiter enabled, with specific mention of games with capped frame rates; and more consistent performance after CPUs waking from deep CPU idle states. Games capable of running at high refresh rates will also no longer run at low refresh rates on 240 Hz displays. The beta also corrects issues with Remote Play on NVIDIA GPUs and fixes SDR saturation with HDR10 output on non-wide gamut displays.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/F05q1IFmFykIHB58.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1169" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/F05q1IFmFykIHB58_thm.jpg" width="158" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/YbyQ3704Xvy2y4sa.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1442" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/YbyQ3704Xvy2y4sa_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Long-Time Linux Kernel Maintainer Inundated With AI-Generated Submissions Steps Down</title>

One recent study found that as much of 25% of new pull requests were reported to be &quot;AI slop.&quot; Maintainers of other projects, like <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/346539/godot-dev-laments-increasing-ai-slop-code" target="_blank">Godot, have also lamented</a> the flood of AI-generated code to their projects. More recently, Lorenzo Stoakes, a long-time contributor and reviewer for memory management in the Linux kernel, has officially announced that he will be stepping away from many of his responsibilities due to an increase in AI code submissions, stating that he can no longer reliably review code in areas where he isn't directly maintaining code. <br />
<br />
As per his <a rel="nofollow" href="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/avMRk95T26rsq4JK@gremlin/T/#m29e26907c15d1cc84f09640c2fdcfa6bffb83e2a" target="_blank">announcement</a> in a new patch series, Stoakes will be stepping away from reviewing memory management code and Rust code in the Linux memory management domain. This comes not too long after Linus Torvalds <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.zdnet.com/innovation/linus-torvalds-uses-ai-to-write-linux-kernel-patch/" target="_blank">reportedly</a> changed his position on AI-written code in the Linux kernel, moving away from his previously cautious approach and leaning into entirely AI-generated code, both in his own contributions and encouraging Linux developers and maintainers to embrace AI with his comments thereafter.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/QFj7NAH0V6C0wKjp.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="667" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/QFj7NAH0V6C0wKjp_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354764/long-time-linux-kernel-maintainer-inundated-with-ai-generated-submissions-steps-down">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Kioxia and Dell Build a 157 PB Rack With 640 SSDs</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354767/kioxia-and-dell-build-a-157-pb-rack-with-640-ssds</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354767/kioxia-and-dell-build-a-157-pb-rack-with-640-ssds#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>9</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Kioxia and Dell have managed to fit a massive 157 PB of raw flash storage into a single 42U server rack. The configuration runs Dell's software-defined ObjectScale object storage platform on 16 PowerEdge R7725xd servers, which together carry 640 of Kioxia's <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/339128/kioxia-announces-industrys-first-245-76-tb-nvme-ssd-built-for-the-demands-of-generative-ai-environments" target="_blank">245.76 TB LC9 Series SSDs</a>. Kioxia calls it the industry's first 157 PB single-rack object store, a claim it bases on its own market survey. Each 2U server holds 40 of the E3.L drives, the same setup the two companies <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/349049/kioxia-and-dell-technologies-first-to-deliver-high-density-server-with-9-8-pb-of-flash-storage" target="_blank">showed off in May</a> at 9.8 PB per server, so the 16 servers take up 32U and leave 10U of the rack free.<br />
<br />
The LC9 drives are PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs built on Kioxia's eighth-generation BiCS FLASH QLC with a 32-die stack. The full 245.76 TB capacity is limited to the E3.L form factor, though, since the 2.5-inch and E3.S versions top out at 122.88 TB, which would roughly halve the rack to about 78.6 PB. Dell's George Papadopoulos says customers can &quot;consolidate more data into fewer systems and racks&quot; while cutting down on cabling, power, and cooling.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/4ddIZa4Wwc6ECaJK.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="532" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/4ddIZa4Wwc6ECaJK_thm.jpg" width="72" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/QGNHuYzMnWA6j9EO.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2998" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/QGNHuYzMnWA6j9EO_thm.jpg" width="406" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354767/kioxia-and-dell-build-a-157-pb-rack-with-640-ssds">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>AMD &quot;Siren Halo&quot; APU Rumored to Pair Dedicated GDDR7 With LPDDR Memory</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354765/amd-siren-halo-apu-rumored-to-pair-dedicated-gddr7-with-lpddr-memory</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354765/amd-siren-halo-apu-rumored-to-pair-dedicated-gddr7-with-lpddr-memory#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>5</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[AMD's next big Halo APU might ship with two separate memory pools, if a new leak from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/Gotou_kai3/status/2120744697618669760" target="_blank">Gotou_3rd on X</a> is accurate. In a short post on November 12, the leaker wrote that &quot;Siren Halo has dedicated GD7 VRAM.&quot; When asked whether that meant unified GDDR memory, like on consoles, or separate pools, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/Gotou_kai3/status/2120816686094045270" target="_blank">Gotou clarified</a> that LPDDR system memory would still be there. He also claimed that Siren Halo follows <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/346164/amd-medusa-halo-apu-to-use-lpddr6-memory" target="_blank">Medusa Halo</a>, that Siren Point is basically a Medusa refresh, and that the new name exists because AMD won't have a fully new Halo design in 2027. There's no word on capacities, bus widths, or launch timing. AMD <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/352940/amd-adds-gddr7-support-in-gpu-driver-preparing-for-rdna-5-launch" target="_blank">already added GDDR7 support</a> to its Linux driver in September, a change widely tied to RDNA 5.<br />
<br />
This would be quite a change for the lineup. Strix Halo and its <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/349218/amd-launches-the-ryzen-ai-max-400-series-processors-strix-halo-gets-a-memory-upgrade" target="_blank">Gorgon Halo refresh</a> use a single LPDDR5X pool shared by the CPU and GPU, with the Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 supporting up to 192 GB, of which up to 160 GB can go to graphics. That shared pool is a big reason these chips are popular for running LLMs locally. Dedicated GDDR7 should give the iGPU far more bandwidth for gaming, though it's unclear how much memory AI workloads would get. The leaker also suggested Siren Halo could be related to Magnus, the AMD chip <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/348376/latest-leak-reveals-xbox-helix-will-effectively-just-be-a-pc-with-no-custom-apu" target="_blank">linked to Microsoft's Project Helix</a>, though that is speculation at this point. AMD hasn't confirmed Siren Halo at all, so it's best treated as a rumor for now.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/CDNJbVcDnxWuIZ8m.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/CDNJbVcDnxWuIZ8m_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/25vYmEeFvug2DdTr.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1244" data-height="890" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/25vYmEeFvug2DdTr_thm.jpg" width="182" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Windows 11 Beta Insiders Can Now Toggle Settings Straight From Taskbar Search</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354758/windows-11-beta-insiders-can-now-toggle-settings-straight-from-taskbar-search</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354758/windows-11-beta-insiders-can-now-toggle-settings-straight-from-taskbar-search#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>10</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel can now change common system settings straight from the taskbar search box, in many cases without opening the Settings app. The new Windows Search, which Microsoft <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353476/microsoft-rebuilds-windows-11-search-adds-typed-commands-and-inline-copilot" target="_blank">first showed off in October</a>, is gradually rolling out with <a rel="nofollow" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-insider/release-notes/beta/preview-build-26320-9876" target="_blank">Build 26320.9876</a>. That build also moves the Beta Channel to <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353239/microsoft-launches-windows-11-26h2-update" target="_blank">Windows 11 26H2</a> through an enablement package, though Microsoft says the version bump alone doesn't change much. The headline feature is what Microsoft calls inline actions. Typing something like &quot;turn on dark mode&quot;, &quot;turn on Bluetooth&quot;, &quot;mute&quot;, or &quot;dim my screen&quot; gives a result that carries out the task right there, and it can also arrange open windows, for example snapping two apps side by side.<br />
<br />
The new interface is built on WinUI 3, and Microsoft says it is faster and more efficient than the old one, with a single list of results that's easier to scan. Search is also apparently getting better at handling typos and synonyms, and Microsoft plans to keep tuning that over the coming weeks. There are a few limits for now. English is the only supported language, and the new experience only shows up when searching from the taskbar, since searching from the Start menu still opens the old interface. Microsoft says bringing it to the Start menu is planned for next year, and actions for a connected phone, such as sending a text, are also on the way.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/xtegi1qcZL2pfxhN.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1714" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/xtegi1qcZL2pfxhN_thm.jpg" width="232" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KPl3dlQoSUjNi1HR.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1709" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/KPl3dlQoSUjNi1HR_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

Now, as part of Xbox's 25-year anniversary celebration, Microsoft has <a rel="nofollow" href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/11/12/25-original-xbox-games-now-available-on-pc" target="_blank">announced</a> that it will be releasing 21 additional classic Xbox games on PC. These games will also be playable on the Xbox Series and Xbox One consoles. <br />
<br />
In addition to the new games, which are listed below, Xbox has also announced that it will be adding support for achievements in select Xbox games in the Backwards Compatibility program. At the time of writing, the list of games that support achievements on PC is short: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II—The Sith Lords, BLiNX: The Time Sweeper, and Conker: Live and Reloaded. It has also stated that more games in the program would be getting support for achievements further down the line.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DDZwDAs9HyCC9jaK.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DDZwDAs9HyCC9jaK_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354761/xbox-adds-21-classic-xbox-games-to-pc-via-xbox-backwards-compatibility-on-pc">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

Notably, it includes game-ready support for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV and Assetto Corsa Rally. Additionally, the driver introduces neural rendering capabilities with 3D guidance of DLSS 5 for the game Where Winds Meet. As for the typical bug fixes included with such a driver release, NVIDIA has addressed a few issues, such as the NVIDIA OptiX Denoiser failing at higher resolutions in Chao Vantage. Another fix in this package resolves incorrect colors during DJI D-Log H.265 video playback in Windows Photos and Media Player. There are no known issues with this update, making it more of a game-ready enhancement than a major feature update. Please let us know in the comments if you've updated and how it's working for you.<br />

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354759/keychron-launches-open-source-magnetic-keyboard-firmware#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>2</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Not long ago, Keychron announced Zephyr Gaming Mouse as an upcoming open-source firmware project for gaming mice. More recently, the peripheral maker announced MKF (Magnetic Keyboard Firmware), an open-source firmware project designed for TMR and Hall effect gaming keyboards. The project has yet to feature any public code contributions, but there is a landing <a rel="nofollow" href="https://mkf.gg/#functions" target="_blank">page</a> that outlines what Keychron aims to do with the project. <br />
<br />
MKF is meant to serve as &quot;an open firmware foundation for magnetic gaming keyboards, with room for the project and its community to grow,&quot; and its current feature outline includes support for the obvious, like 8 kHz polling, adjustable actuation, Rapid Trigger, and SOCD, but it will also apparently support custom response curves, PDO—sending more keypresses the deeper a key is held—and controller emulation. It currently seems as though only wired connectivity is planned for the initial release, but the project will be open to new features and use cases outside of competitive gaming.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/WxE3svC76gAdsUGH.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1347" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/WxE3svC76gAdsUGH_thm.jpg" width="182" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/7d6AdeBdqXk8TcAp.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1388" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/7d6AdeBdqXk8TcAp_thm.jpg" width="188" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354759/keychron-launches-open-source-magnetic-keyboard-firmware">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>AMD Reportedly Cuts Gaming GPU Supply in China by Up to 50%</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354757/amd-reportedly-cuts-gaming-gpu-supply-in-china-by-up-to-50</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354757/amd-reportedly-cuts-gaming-gpu-supply-in-china-by-up-to-50#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>14</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[AMD has reportedly cut its gaming GPU supply in China by at least 20% to 50% since the start of the fourth quarter in October. According to a November 12 post on Board Channels spotted by <a rel="nofollow" href="https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-gaming-gpu-supply-reportedly-falls-20-to-50-in-china" target="_blank">Videocardz</a>, AMD's shortage is now comparable to NVIDIA's, with very few gaming chips going to add-in board (AIB) partners. Their monthly allocations are apparently still shrinking, and the source expects supply to remain extremely tight until January.<br />
<br />
The same source describes Radeon prices in China climbing every quarter, with smaller increases month to month within each quarter, and puts that down to rising memory and GPU costs. AMD is reportedly <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354332/amd-reportedly-plans-another-radeon-gpu-and-gddr6-kit-price-hike-for-november" target="_blank">raising the price of its GPU and GDDR6 kits again</a> this month, after an earlier increase in October. Things aren't much better on the green side either, with an NVIDIA partner saying in late October that it <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354144/nvidia-allegedly-stops-accepting-rtx-5090-orders" target="_blank">couldn't buy RTX 5090 GPU and GDDR7 kits</a> anymore, while RTX 5090 and 5080 prices continue to skyrocket. Graphics cards were already <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354445/gpu-prices-up-again-in-october-rtx-5090-now-sells-for-262-over-msrp-worldwide" target="_blank">selling 44% above MSRP</a> on average in October, so a smaller pool of Radeon cards is unlikely to help matters.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/R02iXCzoPvtNL6Rq.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/R02iXCzoPvtNL6Rq_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Y4ZMMRsFk604b2kB.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1458" data-height="574" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Y4ZMMRsFk604b2kB_thm.jpg" width="330" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354757/amd-reportedly-cuts-gaming-gpu-supply-in-china-by-up-to-50">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>AMD Patches Radeon SSD Write Bug in Adrenalin 26.11.1 Optional Driver</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354756/amd-patches-radeon-ssd-write-bug-in-adrenalin-26-11-1-optional-driver</link>

According to the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-26-11-1.html" target="_blank">release notes</a>, the update addresses excessive writes to the system drive while the PC is idle on Radeon RX 7000 series cards and newer. It also fixes a related case where excessive writes could show up while moving or resizing application windows.<br />
<br />
AMD <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354605/amd-confirms-excessive-ssd-writes-in-radeon-drivers-fix-coming-with-adrenalin-26-11-1" target="_blank">confirmed the problem</a> earlier this week, tracing it to the External Events Client Module (atieclxx.exe) in the 26.10.1 and 26.10.2 drivers. User reports put the write rate anywhere from 0.3 MB/s to 5 MB/s, which works out to roughly 26 GB to 432 GB a day on a machine that's doing nothing. Until now, affected users had to disable the External Events Utility, turn off Resizable BAR, or use a <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354719/radeon-users-get-a-stopgap-open-source-fix-for-amds-ssd-write-bug" target="_blank">community-made open-source tool</a> that blocks the writes. The release notes only mention RX 7000 and newer for the idle fix, so it isn't clear whether older Radeon cards were affected at all.<br />

CD Projekt Red production director Małgorzata Mitręga accepted the award near the end of the November 11 show, just before Resident Evil Requiem was crowned the night's big winner. It's a step up from last year, when The Witcher 4 came in a close second in the same category with 16.68% of the vote against GTA 6's 18.03%. GTA 6, which launches on November 19, wasn't on this year's ballot. Here's what Mitręga said on stage:<blockquote class="quote">This is a huge, huge honor for us, but it's also a great responsibility. We all know it. We are working hard, giving heart and soul there, all the skills we have, passion we have, and moments like that are such a boost for us, for the stamina, to (keep) it going, to deliver (for) you when the time is right.</blockquote><div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/58TCO6hYVvNoN5qs.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="843" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/58TCO6hYVvNoN5qs_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/gjDJK7Ki5RBvuNUH.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/gjDJK7Ki5RBvuNUH_thm.jpg" width="173" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354754/cdpr-feels-great-responsibility-after-witcher-4-wins-most-wanted-game-award">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Microsoft Admits Not Everyone Wants AI in Bing, Offers Options to Disable It</title>

The first is the Microsoft Bing AI Search Choice extension for Chrome and Edge, which adds a single toggle for AI-generated answers that applies to every Bing search. The second needs no install: adding &quot;-ai&quot; to the end of a query removes the AI answer for that one search. Microsoft says its research shows users want &quot;to choose whether or not AI is involved in every session,&quot; though it hasn't published that research.<br />
<br />
Installing the extension also makes Bing the browser's default search engine, and there doesn't seem to be a way to get one without the other, so it looks like a play for Chrome users as well. It's also still labeled a preview, and it isn't new, since Microsoft's head of search, Jordi Ribas, first <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/JordiRib1/status/2062980313047793945" target="_blank">announced it back in June</a>.

			<title>(PR) AMD Advances Built-in Protection from Physical Attacks for Security-Critical Systems</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354747/amd-advances-built-in-protection-from-physical-attacks-for-security-critical-systems</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354747/amd-advances-built-in-protection-from-physical-attacks-for-security-critical-systems#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>6</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[What's the News? AMD today announced AMD Versal tamper-resistant (&quot;TR&quot;) devices, designed to protect security-critical information against sophisticated physical attacks while delivering the high-performance heterogeneous processing capabilities of AMD Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2. Versal TR devices are the industry's first adaptive SoC or FPGA-based devices providing built-in protection against physical attacks on the silicon backside. A sensor-based protection die is bonded to the main compute die using 3D active-on-active technology, shielding the entire backside of the device, protecting sensitive information, detecting physical attacks and preventing boot if the protection die is tampered with or removed. Combined with embedded CPUs, AI Engines and programmable logic, Versal TR devices help customers strengthen the protection of security-critical information without compromising system performance, size, weight, power or time to market.<br />
<br />
Why It Matters? Protecting sensitive information from sophisticated physical attacks is a priority across markets and embedded applications. From data center networking and fintech applications to defense systems and critical industrial infrastructure, customers seeking higher levels of device security today typically build custom solutions in-house using mechanical enclosures, ASICs and other components, adding development cost, specialist resources, verification effort and re-spin risk. Versal TR devices integrate heterogeneous processing with enhanced security features including backside physical attack protection in a single device. This reduces the need for separate compute, security and enclosure-based protection components. This approach can save board area and simplify board design versus custom solutions while giving customers access to AMD tools, technical support and a broad partner ecosystem.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/CxIWHG1l1xl8KxKV.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1708" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/CxIWHG1l1xl8KxKV_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354747/amd-advances-built-in-protection-from-physical-attacks-for-security-critical-systems">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354736/axelera-ai-unveils-titania-architecture#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>0</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Axelera AI, the leading provider of purpose-built AI hardware acceleration technology, unveiled the details behind Titania, its third-generation silicon architecture in a chiplet design. Titania is highly programmable and energy efficient and will deliver high performance at interactive speeds, all within the power and cooling limits of existing data centers, rather than the 100-kilowatt-plus liquid-cooled racks that today's highest-density GPU systems require.<br />
<br />
Performance expectations for Titania are up to 7x the throughput per watt compared to the best data center grade servers available, and up to a 20x better TCO. Each Titania-based system-in-package (SiP) will contain two Titania chiplets which are then packaged in a range of form factors, including standard PCIe cards as well as OCP-compliant UBB baseboards with eight Titania OAM modules connected in a scale-up network. In support of over $300 million in confirmed Titania commitments, these form factors will be available via OEM partners in an inference server configuration in both air- and liquid-cooled configurations.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/iVK5URud2YFNDSsn.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/iVK5URud2YFNDSsn_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/pVyTUEkYT106GCn2.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1572" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/pVyTUEkYT106GCn2_thm.jpg" width="213" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354736/axelera-ai-unveils-titania-architecture">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>(PR) Noctua Introduces NT-CP1 Carbice Carbon Nanotube Thermal Pad for AM5</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354729/noctua-introduces-nt-cp1-carbice-carbon-nanotube-thermal-pad-for-am5</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354729/noctua-introduces-nt-cp1-carbice-carbon-nanotube-thermal-pad-for-am5#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>15</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Noctua today introduced the new NT-CP1 AM5/4 carbon nanotube thermal pad for AMD AM5 and AM4 processors. Leveraging Carbice's novel, space-grade carbon nanotube technology, the NT-CP1 is a premium-quality, easy-to-apply thermal pad that offers superior long-term stability for peace of mind. While thermal pastes and most other thermal pads gradually lose performance over time due to pump-out, delamination, cracking and other degradation effects, Carbice pads keep improving their performance over the first few hundred to a few thousand thermal cycles. This is possible thanks to the pad's robust mechanics, phase-change polymer coating and carbon nanotubes that incrementally conform to surface microstructures, enhancing the heat transfer rate with time and thermal cycling. Once this initial activation phase is completed, the NT-CP1 maintains stable, maintenance-free performance for years and years. As such, it is ideal for everyone who seeks to rule out thermal issues due to degradation and never wants to bother with reapply paste again.<br />
<br />
Unlike other carbon or graphite-based thermal pads that can be brittle, slippery and highly electrically conductive, Carbice pads are sturdy, safe and easy to install using a straightforward &quot;peel, press, peel&quot; process. The NT-CP1's aluminium backbone makes it surprisingly robust and easy to remove. The slightly tacky polymer coating helps to keep the pad in place once pressed onto the CPU and ensures that the contact surfaces are electrically non-conductive before usage unless the polymer layer is penetrated.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/3S4yF8WudhN239pt.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="768" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/3S4yF8WudhN239pt_thm.jpg" width="104" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354729/noctua-introduces-nt-cp1-carbice-carbon-nanotube-thermal-pad-for-am5">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Apex Neural Rendering Beats NVIDIA DLSS in Both Image Quality and Performance</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354727/apex-neural-rendering-beats-nvidia-dlss-in-both-image-quality-and-performance</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354727/apex-neural-rendering-beats-nvidia-dlss-in-both-image-quality-and-performance#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>32</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[According to a company called Apex Compute, there is a new player in neural rendering. The company has developed Apex Neural Rendering, which reportedly offers higher quality and performance than NVIDIA's DLSS implementations. It includes three key components: frame generation (ANR FG), super resolution upscaling (ANR SR), and ray reconstruction denoising for ray tracing (ANR RR). Running frame generation on NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 at 4K, the ANR FG achieves a latency of 1.01 ms per generated frame at a 2x setting, while NVIDIA's DLSS Frame Generation records 1.26 ms. We are not sure which version of DLSS FG was tested, but we can assume it was the latest version.<br />
<br />
Regarding memory consumption, ANR FG uses only 214 MB of GPU memory, while DLSS FG requires more than double that, at 562 MB. Reportedly, the ANR FG neural network weights fit within just 0.17 MB, which is incredibly efficient. Based on samples on the company's website, the image quality that ANR delivers matches DLSS and even surpasses it in some cases. Apex Compute also managed to get Hogwarts Legacy and The Last of Us Part II Remastered working, showing the difference compared to DLSS, resulting in frame generation with more visual fidelity. ANR FG is a beta injector built around OptiScaler, which works in any game offering NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation. You can view the results below.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/HcxYFQNn4s7mBPaM.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1743" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/HcxYFQNn4s7mBPaM_thm.jpg" width="236" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/jSxJC5HQHaRVFuG1.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1714" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/jSxJC5HQHaRVFuG1_thm.jpg" width="232" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/tCSWBGFUTx5bk4RR.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1717" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/tCSWBGFUTx5bk4RR_thm.jpg" width="233" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/FCpLkJOQDPxBWoe4.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1736" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/FCpLkJOQDPxBWoe4_thm.jpg" width="235" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354727/apex-neural-rendering-beats-nvidia-dlss-in-both-image-quality-and-performance">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

This follows on the recent announcement of the beta RT3 client earlier in 2026 marking the start of the transition and promising a more consistent experience across different Linux distributions. <br />
<br />
The launch of the 64-bit beta comes alongside Steam's new <a rel="nofollow" href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/710037059469839141" target="_blank">Achievement Sets update</a> that allows developers to group base game, DLC, and other achievements based on categories. There is also a new achievements page to more easily track game achievements. Ahead of the latest beta launch, Valve also <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353749/new-steam-update-puts-startup-times-back-ahead-of-epics-vibe-coded-launcher" target="_blank">responded to</a> Epic Games's new <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353725/new-vibe-coded-epic-games-launcher-claimed-to-launch-46-faster-than-steam" target="_blank">vibe-coded Epic Games Launcher beta</a> with a mainline Steam client update that resulted in significantly faster cold-start times. <br />
<br />
<b>Update Nov 12th</b>: The new Steam Achievements Sets feature has officially been released to the Stable channel as of a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1675200/view/687522235410284741" target="_blank">November 11 Steam Client update</a>, whose update notes also make mention of several improvements to performance, responsiveness, and stability.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Fqj2N2dNiNDbGAo5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1282" data-height="952" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Fqj2N2dNiNDbGAo5_thm.jpg" width="175" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/zaWjAQGhyIXDZGJq.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1318" data-height="691" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/zaWjAQGhyIXDZGJq_thm.jpg" width="248" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/oxgXTjLTdqLVo1Da.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1300" data-height="784" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/oxgXTjLTdqLVo1Da_thm.jpg" width="216" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>CD Projekt Red Turns to AI to Restore Polish Geralt&#039;s Voice in Witcher 3 Expansion</title>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354720/cd-projekt-red-turns-to-ai-to-restore-polish-geralts-voice-in-witcher-3-expansion#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>25</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Jacek Rozenek, who has voiced Geralt in Polish since the first Witcher game, is returning for The Witcher 3: Songs of the Past, though his new lines are being run through an AI voice model so they match his original Witcher 3 performance. CD Projekt Red told <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gamefile.news/p/witcher-3-jacek-rozenek-voice-ai-cd-projekt-respeecher" target="_blank">Game File</a> it worked with Ukrainian AI firm Respeecher on this, with Rozenek's approval. The actor suffered a stroke in 2019 that left him unable to speak for months, and his voice is now lower and gruffer than in the roughly 10,000 lines he recorded for the base game in 2014. CDPR feared the mismatch would stand out, since new battle cries and one-liners can play in older parts of the map too.<br />
<br />
Rozenek still performs every line himself. Respeecher's model, trained on his original Witcher 3 recordings, then reshapes the new takes to match how Geralt sounded in 2015. Rozenek himself weighed in on this, saying the point is that this voice should be as close as possible to his voice from 12 years ago. Localization producer Mikołaj Szwed called it a &quot;special case&quot; tied to Rozenek's health and said CDPR's contracts require consent for any AI work. He sees this as a way to use AI &quot;ethically, with consent and also to do something good.&quot; Doug Cockle's English Geralt, apparently, needed no such treatment.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/OLHerkGbh85FQ1xO.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="843" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/OLHerkGbh85FQ1xO_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354720/cd-projekt-red-turns-to-ai-to-restore-polish-geralts-voice-in-witcher-3-expansion">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Radeon Users Get a Stopgap Open-Source Fix for AMD&#039;s SSD Write Bug</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354719/radeon-users-get-a-stopgap-open-source-fix-for-amds-ssd-write-bug</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354719/radeon-users-get-a-stopgap-open-source-fix-for-amds-ssd-write-bug#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>19</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[AMD's Radeon SSD write bug now has a community workaround that doesn't require disabling the External Events Utility. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/ComputerBase/status/2120459215651094651" target="_blank">ComputerBase</a> forum member Necandi (necanditool on GitHub) has released <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/necanditool/Radeon-atieclxx-SSD-Fix" target="_blank">Radeon-atieclxx-SSD-Fix</a>, a free, open-source tool that blocks the writes but leaves the service running. The developer found that atieclxx.exe keeps copying its own 660 KB executable out of the driver folder and into the Windows SYSTEM profile every second, or roughly 56 GB of writes per day. User reports put the write rate between 0.3 MB/s and 5 MB/s, and the top end works out to a massive 432 GB a day.<br />
<br />
The tool uses Windows file permissions to deny the SYSTEM account write access to that one copied file, so each copy attempt fails and nothing new lands on the drive. Since the service stays active, FreeSync, frame pacing, and Radeon hotkeys should keep working. It also checks whether a PC is affected first, estimates the writes so far, and adds a scheduled task that reapplies the block after driver updates. Apparently, it can even lift the protection on its own once AMD patches the bug. The interface is only in German for now, and it is an unofficial tool, so readers are advised to use it at their own risk.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/JVayFDfJ2oI8Jdeb.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="844" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/JVayFDfJ2oI8Jdeb_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KSOlZUsAFoBf2Ew9.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="676" data-height="659" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/KSOlZUsAFoBf2Ew9_thm.jpg" width="133" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354719/radeon-users-get-a-stopgap-open-source-fix-for-amds-ssd-write-bug">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Microsoft&#039;s Auto SR Upscaler Goes Handheld on Xbox Ally X and X20, Gains 120 FPS Mode</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354715/microsofts-auto-sr-upscaler-goes-handheld-on-xbox-ally-x-and-x20-gains-120-fps-mode</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354715/microsofts-auto-sr-upscaler-goes-handheld-on-xbox-ally-x-and-x20-gains-120-fps-mode#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>4</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[ROG Xbox Ally X and X20 owners can now use <a rel="nofollow" href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/autosr-performance-mode/" target="_blank">Microsoft's Automatic Super Resolution (Auto SR)</a> upscaler on the handheld's own screen. Microsoft says Auto SR is out of preview on both devices and on select AMD Ryzen Copilot+ PCs. During the Xbox Insider preview that started in April, it only worked with the Ally X docked to an external display. It now works undocked and on battery, and accepts games running at 1080p. The base ROG Xbox Ally misses out, since its chip has no NPU. Auto SR runs its AI model on the NPU, so the upscaling doesn't eat into the GPU's frame time. A new Performance Mode lifts the frame rate ceiling to 120 FPS, from roughly 60 to 75 FPS before. <br />
<br />
In Microsoft's Rocket League test on the Ally X at 720p and high settings, Quality Mode averaged around 70 FPS, while Performance Mode hit about 115 FPS. Auto SR can now be paired with Auto HDR as well, though both Performance Mode and Auto HDR support will roll out gradually through Windows updates. Microsoft warns that 1080p on the internal screen may not perform as well as other setups, although older games should still see visual gains. Ally X owners have also had an <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354078/asus-rolls-out-fsr-4-1-preview-for-rog-xbox-ally-handhelds" target="_blank">FSR 4.1 preview driver</a> since last month, which is probably still the better pick in games that support it well, leaving Auto SR for the rest. Enabling it requires the latest Windows 11 and Game Bar updates plus the Auto Super Resolution Package from the Microsoft Store.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/eVTtFWIszD76vOjS.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="894" data-height="596" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/eVTtFWIszD76vOjS_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/1af7fnLa3M3r6OE6.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1266" data-height="711" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/1af7fnLa3M3r6OE6_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/TARlqDolHgcgOjiu.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1267" data-height="712" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/TARlqDolHgcgOjiu_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Bungie Hopes To Grow Marathon With Free-To-Play Week Alongside New PvE Update</title>

In a recent <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/symbiosis_open_play_week_crew_up" target="_blank">Marathon developer update</a>, Bungie spilled the beans on what the start of Season 2 will look like and announced that there will be a free week coinciding with the launch of the Symbiosis update. <br />
<br />
The Marathon Open Play Week, as it has been dubbed, will start on December 7 and run until December 15, and Bungie is seemingly hopeful that this will allow players to try the game and potentially turn into long-term Marathon players. December 8 marks the introduction of the new Expedition gameplay mode, which is a PvE-exclusive game mode that allows players to &quot;form a team with your friends and explore Tau Ceti IV with a more collaborative mindset.&quot;<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/7jIvA84eHSdHwPKx.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1463" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/7jIvA84eHSdHwPKx_thm.jpg" width="198" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/6rChxqusuAIfazYJ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/6rChxqusuAIfazYJ_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354717/bungie-hopes-to-grow-marathon-with-free-to-play-week-alongside-new-pve-update">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

Now, the European Commission has officially published a draft of the Digital Fairness Act, allowing us to see what the proposed legislation is targets and how that might affect video games and their makers. The draft act aims to &quot;tackle unfair commercial practices affecting consumers online, while simplifying and harmonizing parts of the existing legal framework,&quot; and it will affect everything from dark patterns and subscription services to loot boxes, in-game purchases, digital contracts, and even influencer marketing. <br />
<br />
What will be most pertinent to gamers and gaming companies is that gaming companies will be forced to be more transparent about in-game spending. This means they will need to show the real-world monetary value of virtual items purchased with in-game currency; loot boxes and other paid variable rewards systems will need to have rewards clearly shown as well as the probability of obtaining those rewards, and these systems will be unavailable for minors; and pay-to-win mechanics will be prohibited for minors under certain conditions. Platform designers, like social media companies, will also need to abide by new rules relating to what the Commission is calling &quot;addictive design and attention-maximizing features.&quot;<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/HDMIfldHmI1QgonI.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1267" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/HDMIfldHmI1QgonI_thm.jpg" width="172" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354705/eu-draft-digital-fairness-act-details-new-restrictions-on-loot-boxes-and-addictive-design">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

Games like Initial D The Arcade, maimai, and CHUNITHM lost online play and card support, and since other manufacturers use ALL.Net as well, Bandai Namco cabinets such as Taiko no Tatsujin and Mario Kart Arcade GP DX went down with them. Some of those Bandai Namco machines reportedly couldn't even run offline.<br />
<br />
Bandai Namco's titles <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/allnet_info/status/2119218343618150449" target="_blank">began a trial comeback</a> on November 8 with online play and card use restored.

Both amd_fidelityfx_loader_xbox.dll and amd_fidelityfx_upscaler_xbox.dll are present in the Xbox version of GTA VI, indicating that the game will eventually support FSR 4.1.2 technology, although it hasn't been advertised at launch. Interestingly, only Sony's PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) is <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354644/grand-theft-auto-vi-runs-at-30-fps-ps5-pro-gets-pssr-and-ray-tracing" target="_blank">supported</a> at launch, and it requires a PlayStation 5 Pro console to enable, which is not available on the regular PlayStation 5.<br />
<br />
As a reminder, <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354493/amd-brings-fsr-upscaling-4-1-2-to-xbox-consoles" target="_blank">last week</a>, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S consoles finally received machine learning-based upscaling technology with the latest FSR Upscaling 4.1.2. Microsoft's Game Development Kit (GDK) now officially includes FSR Upscaling 4.1.2 in two models. One is the full-scale upscaling model based on the INT8 data type, and the other is a new and efficient Lite INT8 model. Both models are compatible with both consoles, but the key point is that game developers have the flexibility to choose which model to implement. Depending on the demands of a game, the appropriate model can be applied to achieve optimal upscaling performance.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/723wKDh9aCyhI1x5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1600" data-height="900" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/723wKDh9aCyhI1x5_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Becomes Nintendo&#039;s Fastest-Selling Switch 2 Game at Launch</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354712/zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake-becomes-nintendos-fastest-selling-switch-2-game-at-launch</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354712/zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake-becomes-nintendos-fastest-selling-switch-2-game-at-launch#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>5</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake sold over 5.2 million units worldwide in its first four days on Switch 2, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2026/261111.html" target="_blank">Nintendo announced</a>, with 810,000 of those coming from Japan. According to Nintendo, that's the highest four-day global figure for any Nintendo-published Switch 2 game so far, and it counts both physical and digital copies. The remake, a full rebuild of the 1998 Nintendo 64 classic, launched on November 5. For a sense of scale, the Switch 2 console itself sold over 3.5 million units in its first four days back in June 2025. <br />
<br />
Nintendo's latest earnings put the Switch 2 at 26.35 million units shipped as of September 30, so the remake has sold the equivalent of roughly a fifth of that base. It's a rough comparison, of course, since more consoles have shipped since then and shipped units don't equal owners. In just four days, Ocarina of Time has also passed the 5.05 million lifetime units Donkey Kong Bananza had reached by the end of September. The timing works out well for Nintendo too, as Switch 2 hardware shipments <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354492/nintendo-switch-2-shipments-fall-41-but-its-software-sales-climb-26" target="_blank">fell 41% last quarter</a> while software sales kept climbing. For comparison, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom sold over 10 million units in its first three days back in 2023, albeit on the much larger installed base of the original Switch.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/SzDJPK57C0ithqCa.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1626" data-height="915" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/SzDJPK57C0ithqCa_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/HXSFJLQo2v4wuW6k.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/HXSFJLQo2v4wuW6k_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>PS5 Games Now Boot on a PS4 Through EmuFive Emulator</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354710/ps5-games-now-boot-on-a-ps4-through-emufive-emulator</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354710/ps5-games-now-boot-on-a-ps4-through-emufive-emulator#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>15</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Developer Chokri Hammedi (blue0x1) has released <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/blue0x1/EmuFive" target="_blank">EmuFive</a>, an experimental emulator that runs PS5 games on a jailbroken PS4. The best result so far is God of War: Sons of Sparta, which apparently runs at around 40 FPS and above on a PS4 Pro. The PS5 version of Hollow Knight: Silksong boots too, though that game already has a native PS4 release. Both are 2D games, of course, and the developer notes that plenty of other games are still sluggish. EmuFive doesn't run on top of the PS4's own operating system. It's a small Linux system, installed through PS4 Multiboot and started from a GoldHEN payload. <br />
<br />
At its core is KytyPS5, the same PS5 emulator that recently <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353364/marvels-wolverine-hits-20-fps-on-ps5-emulator-kytyps5-just-days-after-first-boot" target="_blank">got Marvel's Wolverine to run on PC</a>, and showed <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/352655/demons-souls-remake-goes-from-unplayable-to-30-fps-on-ps5-emulator-in-days" target="_blank">good progress</a> in many other PS exclusive titles. Rather than emulating the PS5's processor, KytyPS5 hands the game's x86-64 code straight to the host CPU. That's an issue on the PS4, as its Jaguar cores lack the AVX2, FMA, and BMI2 extensions that Zen 2-targeted PS5 games use all over the place. Hammedi's patch gets around it by translating those instructions into older SSE4.2, AVX, and BMI1 equivalents, mostly at load time. That works, but it piles extra overhead onto a CPU that is already far slower.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/HBZL3Yl0IlwujcLl.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="630" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/HBZL3Yl0IlwujcLl_thm.jpg" width="248" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/sw46Rr8AONiZ11DJ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/sw46Rr8AONiZ11DJ_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354710/ps5-games-now-boot-on-a-ps4-through-emufive-emulator">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Zalman Reveals New ALPHA3 A36 AIO Coolers and 120 mm Fan Series</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354706/zalman-reveals-new-alpha3-a36-aio-coolers-and-120-mm-fan-series</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354706/zalman-reveals-new-alpha3-a36-aio-coolers-and-120-mm-fan-series#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>0</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Zalman has silently listed on its website two new 360 mm AIO coolers and a series of 120 mm fans. The AIOs are the ALPHA3 LX A36 and ALPHA3 SE A36, with similar specs but different pump-cover designs and features. The fan lineup includes the ZM-HF120 and ZM-HF120R. Those are available in black and white, with standard and reverse blade configurations. Let's look first at the AIO coolers. Both use a pump with a pure copper base. It operates at 800-3,400 RPM with a water flow of 1.3 L/min. The aluminium radiator measures 394 x 120 x 29 mm and comes with three 120 mm ARGB fans integrated into a single frame. Each fan uses a nine-blade design and rubber anti-vibration dampers. Fan speeds range from 600 to 2,000 RPM, with 32.9 dBA, 71.14 CFM airflow, and 2.06 mmH₂0 static pressure. <br />
<br />
The ALPHA3 LX A36 stands out with two magnetic pump covers. One is an LCD that shows in real time CPU temperature, utilization, and clock speed. When the PC is powered off, the display switches to an always-on clock powered by motherboard standby power. The time is synchronized when the system starts. The second is a plain plastic cover for users who prefer a simpler appearance. The ALPHA3 SE A36 model instead features a layered 3D-pattern pump cover with ARGB lighting. The AIO coolers are compatible with Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, and 115x sockets, as well as AMD AM5 and AM4 platforms.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/XIzHYvVzEr3O5NZG.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/XIzHYvVzEr3O5NZG_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/0g2m1qpQqiCb8PKs.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/0g2m1qpQqiCb8PKs_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/zcL51TBVKlHtZIF1.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/zcL51TBVKlHtZIF1_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/M02YCV0AWtQDFHiP.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/M02YCV0AWtQDFHiP_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/p7QcRkr0op3Lqlqq.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/p7QcRkr0op3Lqlqq_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354706/zalman-reveals-new-alpha3-a36-aio-coolers-and-120-mm-fan-series">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Logitech Gives Employees a Paid Day Off to Play Games, Just in Time for GTA 6</title>

The company has <a rel="nofollow" href="https://news.logitech.com/press-releases/news-details/2026/Logitechs-Game-Day-Gives-Employees-a-Dedicated-Day-Off/default.aspx" target="_blank">announced</a> &quot;Logi Game Day,&quot; which it calls the first company-wide gaming day in its history, pitched as a way to recognize the cognitive and professional benefits of gaming. Logitech G will host a streaming event at its Americas headquarters in San Jose on November 19, which happens to be the day GTA 6 launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Logitech G general manager Robin Piispanen will host it.<br />
<br />
Employees aren't locked into GTA 6, though Piispanen does name-drop it in the press release alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and Forza. CEO Hanneke Faber framed the whole thing as a push against an old stigma, saying that it's time to retire the stereotype that gaming is a waste of time. Logitech also points to its own Ctrl Tomorrow study (coming from a gaming peripheral maker, of course), where 81% of gamers said gaming builds real-world confidence, reduces anxiety, and helps their day-to-day work performance.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/qbP9eH2DDCjcBilf.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="843" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/qbP9eH2DDCjcBilf_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/a00CFKBRYRMVNIUl.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="627" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/a00CFKBRYRMVNIUl_thm.jpg" width="249" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354708/logitech-gives-employees-a-paid-day-off-to-play-games-just-in-time-for-gta-6">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

Intel had two packages on display at the Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Conference in Shenzhen on October 29, one showing the heat spreader and the other flipped to show the contact side, though photos of them are only now making the rounds. These chips are meant for the massive <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/337409/intel-diamond-rapids-xeon-to-debut-on-9-324-pin-lga9324-socket" target="_blank">LGA 9324 socket</a> on Intel's Oak Stream platform, and the bottom side shows a huge pad area to match.<br />
<br />
The specs themselves aren't new, since Intel <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/351893/intel-details-xeon-7-diamond-rapids-package-design-at-hot-chips" target="_blank">detailed the package design at HOT CHIPS</a> back in August. The flagship packs up to 256 Panther Cove P-cores without SMT, spread across 16 compute chiplets built on Intel 18A-P, along with 1.28 GB of last-level cache. It also gets 16 memory channels with MRDIMM support up to 12,800 MT/s and 128 PCIe Gen 6 lanes. At the event, Intel pitched Diamond Rapids as a CPU designed for agentic AI infrastructure and reportedly announced joint development with Tencent Cloud for its CVM instances. The new Tencent Cloud instances launched at the same event, however, run on Xeon 6+ &quot;Clearwater Forest&quot; chips.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/i42aLp65Nwj3Zu0c.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="853" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/i42aLp65Nwj3Zu0c_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/iIIidVv6WPCzjwKd.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/iIIidVv6WPCzjwKd_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354707/first-photos-of-intels-256-core-xeon-7-diamond-rapids-package-surface">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Nintendo DMCA Notice Takes Down 144 Switch Modchip Firmware Repos on GitHub</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354704/nintendo-dmca-notice-takes-down-144-switch-modchip-firmware-repos-on-github</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354704/nintendo-dmca-notice-takes-down-144-switch-modchip-firmware-repos-on-github#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>16</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[GitHub has disabled 144 repositories hosting Nintendo Switch modchip firmware following a DMCA notice from Nintendo of America. The notice, dated November 6 and posted to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2026/11/2026-11-06-nintendo-2.md" target="_blank">GitHub's public DMCA archive</a> this week, names a single repository called Ansem-SoD/Picofly. Because its fork network had more than 100 repositories and Nintendo claimed that all or most of the forks infringed to the same extent, GitHub took the entire network down. The targeted firmware covers SX Core, SX Lite, Picofly, and HWFLY chips, among others.<br />
<br />
Patched consoles like the Switch Lite and Switch OLED need a soldered modchip that glitches the boot process to run custom software. Nintendo says this firmware lets modchips &quot;illegally circumvent Nintendo's TPMs&quot; by bypassing the boot sequence, which makes distributing it trafficking in circumvention technology under the DMCA. The notice also cites the U.S. criminal case against Team-Xecuter, whose member Gary Bowser pleaded guilty in 2021. A guilty plea isn't a ruling that modchips are illegal, of course, but Nintendo doesn't have to prove that for GitHub to act on a DMCA notice. Chips that are already installed keep working, while owners lose an easy source for firmware updates and flashing new chips.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/1UMAPkg3DtfZaggE.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/1UMAPkg3DtfZaggE_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/B2ytm64wA0XKPgTO.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="922" data-height="580" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/B2ytm64wA0XKPgTO_thm.jpg" width="207" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354704/nintendo-dmca-notice-takes-down-144-switch-modchip-firmware-repos-on-github">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

The post outlines MSI's November distributor pricing compared to October, with RTX 5080 models going up by 1,300 to 8,000 yuan depending on the card. That's roughly $195 at the low end, while the top figure alone is more than the RTX 5080's entire $999 launch MSRP. Yes, that's apparently a $1,200 increase planned for the RTX 5080 at the top end.<br />
<br />
The rest of the RTX 50 stack goes up too. RTX 5070 Ti models rise by 800 to 4,000 yuan (about $120 to $600), and the RTX 5070 by 500 to 1,000 yuan (75 to $150). The RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB picks up 400 yuan, its 8 GB sibling 200 yuan, and the RTX 5060 between 200 and 500 yuan. Even the RTX 3050 gets a 100 yuan bump. These are distributor prices in China, not new MSRPs, and the post doesn't say which RTX 5080 models sit at the top of that range. Colorful and Galax <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354427/nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-series-scheduled-for-up-to-usd-500-price-hike-this-week" target="_blank">reportedly started sharing similar hikes</a> with their partners earlier this month, so MSI seems to be following the same path.

As per the console maker, it has sold as many as 4.2 million units between April and September 2026, which is actually a significant decline compared to the previous year's 6.5 million units in the same period in 2025—despite the expected increase in sales from the imminent launch of GTA VI. <br />
<br />
So far, this puts the PS5 as Sony's fourth most successful console platform to date, behind the PlayStation 1 (102.4 million sales), PlayStation 4 (117 million), and the PlayStation 2 (over 160 million units), but sales are likely to continue until and even after the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354514/playstation-6-is-on-track-but-sony-wants-to-be-careful-with-how-much-it-spends" target="_blank">expected 2028 launch of the PS6</a>. At the time of writing, only the PSP and the PlayStation 3 have sold less than the PlayStation 5. Sony also provided some insights into software sales for its PlayStation platforms, with the PS4 and PS5 combined having sold a claimed 1.795 billion units (including physical and download-only titles, PS VR titles as well as software bundled with PS4, PS5).<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/T8IeEwoAyMnapwZG.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1342" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/T8IeEwoAyMnapwZG_thm.jpg" width="182" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/IJSkD0UYWrhdODg5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1358" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/IJSkD0UYWrhdODg5_thm.jpg" width="184" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Zv6eJuzDefI7lu05.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1358" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Zv6eJuzDefI7lu05_thm.jpg" width="184" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/47jxUR47AGQ1flDI.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1440" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/47jxUR47AGQ1flDI_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354695/playstation-5-officially-tops-100-million-unit-sales-still-behind-ps1-ps2-and-ps4">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>(PR) IBM Announces Quantum Nighthawk r3 Processor, Plans to Scale Beyond 1,000 Qubits in 2027</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354696/ibm-announces-quantum-nighthawk-r3-processor-plans-to-scale-beyond-1-000-qubits-in-2027</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354696/ibm-announces-quantum-nighthawk-r3-processor-plans-to-scale-beyond-1-000-qubits-in-2027#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>0</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced IBM Quantum Nighthawk r3, its next-generation processor, will be built to accurately execute 10,000 quantum operations across 520 qubits to tackle larger, more complex problems while maintaining the speed and quality demonstrated by the current generation Nighthawk available today. In 2027, IBM plans to link two Nighthawk r3 processors into a single system with more than 1,000 qubits.<br />
<br />
To be at the frontier of quantum computing, industry-relevant applications demand both computational quality and speed. Speed matters because a quantum computer delivers its answer in samples: each run of a quantum circuit returns one result. Applications increasingly require circuits executing thousands of quantum operations on approximately 100 qubits or more, generating millions to billions of samples. Scale and quality enable increasingly complex computations, but speed determines whether these demanding workloads can be completed in practical timeframes and at a reasonable cost.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KQSdkiFesAtR87nZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1353" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/KQSdkiFesAtR87nZ_thm.jpg" width="183" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/PV4jmEto0A8rHB0x.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1282" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/PV4jmEto0A8rHB0x_thm.jpg" width="174" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ylHmsZDDdg6mUx2f.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1280" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ylHmsZDDdg6mUx2f_thm.jpg" width="173" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354696/ibm-announces-quantum-nighthawk-r3-processor-plans-to-scale-beyond-1-000-qubits-in-2027">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 24 GB Reportedly Cancelled, 16 GB Model Remains</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354686/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-24-gb-reportedly-cancelled-16-gb-model-remains</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354686/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-24-gb-reportedly-cancelled-16-gb-model-remains#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>49</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[NVIDIA's rumored GeForce RTX 5080 24 GB model has reportedly been put on hold. The company is struggling to secure enough 3 GB GDDR7 memory modules and is instead opting for the less expensive 2 GB modules for the standard 16 GB version. According to a report from Board Channels, NVIDIA has already informed its add-in card (AIC) partners to officially cancel the January 2027 launch plan for the 24 GB model, citing economic challenges. As we are currently experiencing one of the worst supply chain shortages for memory modules, using the more expensive 3 GB GDDR7 modules would result in a significantly higher MSRP and, consequently, a higher price for customers. Therefore, the 2 GB GDDR7 memory modules will continue to be used, and the RTX 5080 16 GB model will remain available.<br />
<br />
Readers may recall that NVIDIA did not plan any other changes to the model besides the memory configuration, as the CUDA core count was to remain the same. The new 24 GB model would potentially have slightly higher TDP and clock speeds, but the main improvements would come from increased memory capacity and bandwidth. Since it seems we won't be getting the revised model, and there's no rumor of a &quot;SUPER&quot; overhaul anytime soon, we will have to stick with the standard lineup a bit longer until the next-generation GeForce RTX 60-Series &quot;Rubin&quot; arrives.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/043GnDkFDO8jZXsj.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1440" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/043GnDkFDO8jZXsj_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354686/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-24-gb-reportedly-cancelled-16-gb-model-remains">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Epomaker Launches Bamboo75 and Galaxy75 Wireless Mechanical Keyboards</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354683/epomaker-launches-bamboo75-and-galaxy75-wireless-mechanical-keyboards</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354683/epomaker-launches-bamboo75-and-galaxy75-wireless-mechanical-keyboards#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>2</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Epomaker previously <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353699/epomaker-reveals-galaxy75-wireless-mechanical-keyboard-with-aluminium-case-and-via-support" target="_blank">revealed the Galaxy75 in an official livestream video</a>, but the peripheral maker has now officially launched the Galaxy75 alongside a new keyboard, the Bamboo75. As we covered previously, the Galaxy75 features a relatively standard 75% layout, an aluminium case, polycarbonate plate, a mix of PBT and PC/ABS keycaps, wireless connectivity with an 8,000 mAh battery, and Epomaker's Creamy Jade linear switches. The official launch price, which was previously unknown, is <a rel="nofollow" href="https://epomaker.com/products/epomaker-galaxy75" target="_blank">$109 on Epomaker's site</a>, and the Galaxy75 is available in three colorways: black, purple, and pink. <br />
<br />
The Epomaker Bamboo75, on the other hand, is a slightly more interesting affair. It takes a similar, but notably not identical, layout to the Galaxy75 but swaps out the cutesy pastel and minimalist aesthetics of the Galaxy75 for a more nature-inspired design, thanks to a case made of bamboo and keycaps made of a mix of ABS and PBT with wood grain print on the top. Those Cherry profile keycaps also feature a side-printed shine-through legend, which allows the south-facing per-key RGB backlighting to shine through while keeping the consistent wood aesthetic when looking at the keyboard from the top. Like the Galaxy75, the Bamboo75 also packs wireless connectivity, with both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz connectivity, and it also has an 8,000 mAh battery, although Epomaker doesn't provide any claims of battery life.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/qBiPFm0zcQDLtHbN.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/qBiPFm0zcQDLtHbN_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/pzqDsGPTwZdI7uNZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/pzqDsGPTwZdI7uNZ_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/j9ukJ1ErlTVNsdCp.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/j9ukJ1ErlTVNsdCp_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/gh0FXqOcxS8sND0M.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/gh0FXqOcxS8sND0M_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354683/epomaker-launches-bamboo75-and-galaxy75-wireless-mechanical-keyboards">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Epomaker Launches Alice40 40% Mechanical Keyboard With Ergonomic Layout and $70 Pricetag</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354682/epomaker-launches-alice40-40-mechanical-keyboard-with-ergonomic-layout-and-usd-70-pricetag</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354682/epomaker-launches-alice40-40-mechanical-keyboard-with-ergonomic-layout-and-usd-70-pricetag#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>3</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Epomaker has officially unveiled the Alice40 as its latest foray into the world of 40% mechanical keyboards—after the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/review/epomaker-th40-wireless-mechanical-keyboard/" target="_blank">TH40 we reviewed previously</a> and the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/342221/epomaker-launches-luma40-low-profile-40-ortholinear-wireless-mechanical-keyboard-with-aluminium-case-and-focus-on-rgb-and-customization" target="_blank">Luma40 after that</a>—and this time, the brand has gone for yet another unique layout option. As the name suggests, the Alice40 is based on the Alice layout that is commonly recommended to first-time ergonomic keyboard buyers, for its similarity to a regular unibody keyboard, although the Alice40 has a few features that set it apart from other mechanical keyboards in the same $69.99 price bracket. <br />
<br />
For starters, the Alice40 modifies the traditional Alice layout with columnar stagger, meaning the columns are vertically offset from one another instead of the rows being horizontally offset. This is meant to make the keys align more appropriately to the natural movement of your fingers while you're typing. Another interesting quirk of the Alice40 is the knob between the two halves of the alpha cluster. As expected from a $69.99 mechanical keyboard, it has a plastic case, but it also has flip-out feet that allow users to adjust the typing angle between 5° and 8.5°. The case also features a gasket mount design, much like the Epomaker TH40, and it is stuffed with sound-damping materials to cut down on echoes and reverberation inside the case.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/b7IlKVT4njs0WA42.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/b7IlKVT4njs0WA42_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/IdQcPaKr9BLE0WlO.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/IdQcPaKr9BLE0WlO_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/UsIj87TGW1YOyI6O.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1572" data-height="858" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/UsIj87TGW1YOyI6O_thm.jpg" width="238" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354682/epomaker-launches-alice40-40-mechanical-keyboard-with-ergonomic-layout-and-usd-70-pricetag">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>AMD Pushes Back on NVIDIA and Arm&#039;s &quot;Agentic CPU&quot; Marketing</title>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354678/amd-pushes-back-on-nvidia-and-arms-agentic-cpu-marketing#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>1</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[AMD's Madhu Rangarajan, corporate VP of Compute and Enterprise AI, says the company never set out to build its Zen 6 <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/351000/amd-announces-6th-gen-epyc-server-processors-powered-by-zen-6-microarchitecture" target="_blank">EPYC 9006 &quot;Venice&quot; chips</a> around agentic AI, a not-so-subtle dig at NVIDIA and Arm, which both <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/350943/nvidia-details-vera-cpu-with-88-cores-176-threads-and-up-to-1-5-tb-of-lpddr5x-memory" target="_blank">pitch their latest server CPUs</a> as made for that exact job. Rangarajan still called EPYC 9006 the best CPU for agentic workloads during a media session covered by <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amd-vp-and-chief-zen-architect-rebuke-claims-that-nvidia-and-arm-made-cpus-for-agentic-ai-we-didnt-magically-know-four-years-ago-that-agentic-was-going-to-be-a-thing" target="_blank">Tom's Hardware</a>. Chief Zen architect Mike Clark said much the same in a separate talk, admitting AMD didn't see agentic computing coming, though he added that the company always expected the CPU to keep a role in AI software. Here's what Rangarajan said:<blockquote class="quote">We think that the EPYC 9006 CPU is the best CPU for the agentic era, and spoiler alert, we didn't magically know four years ago that agentic was going to be a thing and purpose-built something for agentic. The reality is an agentic workflow is a diverse set of tasks… and in order to execute those tasks well, you need compute that is able to handle a diverse set of workloads with a full portfolio.</blockquote><div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/MsYBfv9MfOTrYj6K.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/MsYBfv9MfOTrYj6K_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/vgoIoXbvWuxhFGlA.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/vgoIoXbvWuxhFGlA_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354678/amd-pushes-back-on-nvidia-and-arms-agentic-cpu-marketing">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>GTA 6 Breaks PlayStation and Xbox Store Pre-Order Records</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354675/gta-6-breaks-playstation-and-xbox-store-pre-order-records</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354675/gta-6-breaks-playstation-and-xbox-store-pre-order-records#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>16</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[GTA 6 is now the most pre-ordered game ever on both the PlayStation Store and the Microsoft Store, according to Sony and Microsoft. Sony <a rel="nofollow" href="https://blog.playstation.com/2026/11/10/pre-load-grand-theft-auto-vi-on-ps5-starting-today/" target="_blank">announced the record</a> in a PlayStation Blog post that <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354448/gta-6-will-need-up-to-212-gb-of-storage-pre-load-now-starts-november-10" target="_blank">opened PS5 pre-loading</a> nine days before the November 19 launch, pointing to &quot;unprecedented demand&quot; for the early start. Xbox then <a rel="nofollow" href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/11/10/grand-theft-auto-6-comes-to-xbox-cloud-gaming-november-19/" target="_blank">called it</a> &quot;the most pre-ordered title of all time on the Microsoft Store&quot; while confirming that <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354663/gta-6-comes-to-xbox-one-at-launch-via-cloud-gaming-pc-players-out-of-luck" target="_blank">GTA 6 will stream to Xbox One</a> through Cloud Gaming. Neither company shared actual numbers, however.<br />
<br />
<a rel="nofollow" href="https://sensortower.com/grand-theft-auto-VI/sales-tracker" target="_blank">Sensor Tower's tracker</a> fills some of that gap. As of November 10, the firm estimates 9.69 million pre-orders worth about $942 million net of returns, up from 7.71 million a week earlier and <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353934/gta-6-digital-pre-orders-climb-to-6-45-million-playstation-holds-74-share" target="_blank">6.45 million in late October</a>. PlayStation holds roughly 75% of that with 7.23 million copies and $703 million, while Xbox sits at 2.46 million copies and $239 million. That averages out to around $97 per copy, which fits with <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/351496/usd-100-gta-vi-ultimate-edition-surpasses-standard-edition-in-pre-orders" target="_blank">most buyers going for the $100 Ultimate Edition</a>. If accurate, GTA 6 has passed the 8 million pre-orders CD Projekt reported for Cyberpunk 2077 in 2020. The comparison isn't quite like-for-like, though, since Cyberpunk also launched on PC and likely counted physical copies, while Sensor Tower seems to track digital console orders only.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/B5G7uBYvKAkIq6nF.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/B5G7uBYvKAkIq6nF_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/hRv3R44dHNLKaIgY.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1770" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/hRv3R44dHNLKaIgY_thm.jpg" width="240" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354675/gta-6-breaks-playstation-and-xbox-store-pre-order-records">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354677/philips-launches-evnia-27m2d5901a-27-inch-5k-180-hz-monitor#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>0</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[The Philips Evnia 27M2D5901A is a 27-inch (68.58 cm) Dual Mode gaming monitor that lets users switch between detailed 5K visuals and high-speed QHD performance. The Philips Evnia 27M2D5901A features a Fast IPS panel with Dual Mode technology. Users can choose a 5K resolution for detailed visuals or switch to QHD for refresh rates of up to 350 Hz. For a more immersive gaming experience, the monitor combines built-in RGB backlighting with AI-enhanced Ambiglow, and AmbiScape to extend lighting effects to Matter-compatible smart lights.<br />
<br />
Different games call for different screen settings. Dual Mode lets users switch between 5K for greater detail and QHD for a higher refresh rate. In 5K mode, the monitor delivers 5120 x 2880 pixels at 165 Hz and can be overclocked to 180 Hz. On a 27-inch panel, the high pixel density keeps textures, text, and interface elements clear, making this mode suitable for visually detailed games, content creation, and everyday work. When speed matters more, the QHD mode runs at 330 Hz and can be overclocked to 350 Hz at 2560 x 1440 pixels. The higher refresh rate provides smoother motion during fast-paced and competitive games.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/fATwfuTY7IhDUPzv.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2151" data-height="1200" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/fATwfuTY7IhDUPzv_thm.jpg" width="233" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354677/philips-launches-evnia-27m2d5901a-27-inch-5k-180-hz-monitor">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

The FRAME 4000D is one of Corsair's best-selling cases thanks to its fully modular design, exceptional cooling capacity, and builder-friendly features. The new pink edition builds on this foundation with several upgrades over the standard FRAME 4000D RS ARGB. For starters, the pre-installed fans have been upgraded to new RS II ARGB fans for both intake and exhaust, delivering effective low-noise cooling with vibrant RGB lighting.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/BbmIaPaGXC08jeB4.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1072" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/BbmIaPaGXC08jeB4_thm.jpg" width="139" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/9bdXSXqRK0cTFvq0.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1133" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/9bdXSXqRK0cTFvq0_thm.jpg" width="147" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/mlRArd3xIyABWpV8.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="934" data-height="955" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/mlRArd3xIyABWpV8_thm.jpg" width="127" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/dBA9U1eSVFmMljJq.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="879" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/dBA9U1eSVFmMljJq_thm.jpg" width="114" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/aodGNWlvQwBwvCR8.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1333" data-height="1000" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/aodGNWlvQwBwvCR8_thm.jpg" width="173" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/eRqpbyTAfT1RfSJ9.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1382" data-height="922" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/eRqpbyTAfT1RfSJ9_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354674/corsair-launches-a-delightful-pink-colorway-of-its-best-selling-3500x-and-frame-4000d-cases">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

The aftermath of that series of unfortunate events spawned a <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354114/nearly-180-000-fans-sign-savemasseffect-petition-following-bioware-shutdown" target="_blank">very lively #SaveMassEffect petition</a>. More recently, seemingly in response to the outcry for a Mass Effect rescue mission, James Ohlen, former creative director and lead designer on games like Knights of the Old Republic and Dragon Age: Origins, and Trent Oster, one of the co-founders of BioWare, have teased that there may be something in the works to revive Mass Effect and Dragon Age. <br />
<br />
Oster has made several posts over the span of a week or two suggesting that he is seriously considering or actively working on trying to revive both Dragon Age and Mass Effect, likely through the Embracer Group-owned Beamdog games, where Oster is the sitting CEO. One such <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/TrentOster/status/2119194606814495106" target="_blank">post reads</a>: &quot;What are you doing this Saturday?

			<title>Logitech Unveils Yet Another MX Master 4 Special Edition</title>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354669/logitech-unveils-yet-another-mx-master-4-special-edition#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>8</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Logitech has introduced another special edition of its MX Master 4 wireless mouse, this time aimed at visual creators. The new MX Master 4 Creator Edition follows the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354198/logitech-unveils-mx-master-4-special-developer-edition" target="_blank">Developer Edition</a> we covered two weeks ago, and keeps the same hardware and features as the standard model. The changes are again limited to the mouse appearance. The Creator Edition uses a studio-inspired design with layout grids, color calibration bands, and alignment crosshairs printed on its surface. Logitech has also added three keyframe style timestamps as Easter eggs: 04:27 for World Design Day, 08:19 for World Photography Day, and 04:21 for World Creativity Day.<br />
<br />
As with the Developer Edition, there are no changes to the 8,000 DPI sensor, MagSpeed scroll wheel, built-in haptic feedback, or Actions Ring button. The mouse also keeps its 650 mAh battery, rated for up to 70 days of use, along with USB-C charging and multi-device pairing. The MX Master 4 Creator Edition is listed for $119.99 / €129.99 and comes with Logitech's two-year limited hardware warranty.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/r8HE5fqrOyqXSJe5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/r8HE5fqrOyqXSJe5_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/z8VHAfBKuG44P7jc.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1198" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/z8VHAfBKuG44P7jc_thm.jpg" width="162" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ntkCXVcpaiVV92WQ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="711" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ntkCXVcpaiVV92WQ_thm.jpg" width="96" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Xsr54EgAPODXx9Yr.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="751" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Xsr54EgAPODXx9Yr_thm.jpg" width="102" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Microsoft Hints at WinUI 3 Overhaul for Windows 11&#039;s Leftover Legacy Dialogs</title>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354668/microsoft-hints-at-winui-3-overhaul-for-windows-11s-leftover-legacy-dialogs#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>7</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Marcus Ash, Microsoft's design and research lead for Windows and Devices, has hinted that more of Windows 11's old dialogs and admin tools could get a modern makeover. Under Jen Gentleman's post about the new option to <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354615/windows-11-will-finally-let-you-silence-the-sticky-keys-prompt-for-good" target="_blank">silence the Sticky Keys prompt</a>, a user asked Microsoft to &quot;winui-fy&quot; the legacy Win32 dialogs and MMC apps, and to fully move Control Panel into Settings. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/marcusash/status/2119202546472595748" target="_blank">Ash replied</a> with a short &quot;Noted and working on that too.&quot; He didn't give a timeline or name any tools, so it's more like a nod than a roadmap.<br />
<br />
There's plenty to work with, as Windows 11 still ships more than 20 tools with older interfaces, including Defragment and Optimize Drives, Disk Cleanup, Device Manager, Event Viewer, and the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. Folder Options and the Sticky Keys prompt still have no dark mode, and some links in Settings, such as the extra sound and mouse options, open the old Control Panel windows. Microsoft's recent <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353627/microsoft-adds-incomplete-dark-mode-to-some-legacy-windows-11-ui-elements" target="_blank">dark mode update for Hyper-V Manager</a>, another legacy tool, also came out incomplete.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/DbMR5KOSLtd1djys.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/DbMR5KOSLtd1djys_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/owwfCDcOlAUI4V3H.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1111" data-height="774" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/owwfCDcOlAUI4V3H_thm.jpg" width="187" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/SCfCevsI0TsqQg2o.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1356" data-height="699" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/SCfCevsI0TsqQg2o_thm.jpg" width="252" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354668/microsoft-hints-at-winui-3-overhaul-for-windows-11s-leftover-legacy-dialogs">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>NVIDIA May Cut TSMC Chip Orders Amid Mounting Pressure, Report Claims</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354666/nvidia-may-cut-tsmc-chip-orders-amid-mounting-pressure-report-claims</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354666/nvidia-may-cut-tsmc-chip-orders-amid-mounting-pressure-report-claims#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>16</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[NVIDIA may be slowing down its chip orders at TSMC, according to a new report from Taiwan's <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.ctee.com.tw/news/20261110700066-430501" target="_blank">Commercial Times</a>. The outlet cites unnamed supply chain sources but doesn't name a product, node, size, or timeline. Neither NVIDIA nor TSMC have commented so far, and the claims are single-sourced for now. The report frames this as NVIDIA being squeezed from inside and out. On the inside, there's Jensen Huang's November 8 email to staff, in which he apologized for an extramarital affair, and the board's <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354594/nvidia-launches-investigation-into-jensen-huangs-relationship-with-suspected-chinese-spy" target="_blank">independent investigation</a> into reports that he was targeted by a foreign intelligence effort. The board has said it has no reason to believe national security or NVIDIA secrets were compromised. <br />
<br />
The outside pressure mostly comes down to export controls. The report points to tighter export reviews and H200 chips reportedly stockpiled in Hong Kong, both of which it says raise the risk of NVIDIA scaling back orders. It also cites foreign media reports suggesting that some firms approved to handle H200 could be shell companies, which feeds concerns that chips might reach China through fronts like these or middlemen in other countries. The report presents that as a suspicion rather than a finding, and if cuts do happen, upstream suppliers such as TSMC and ASE are the most exposed.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/QEZCuDpsUrGOUteX.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1204" data-height="801" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/QEZCuDpsUrGOUteX_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ZYkG4eovQmlmKQxk.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="844" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ZYkG4eovQmlmKQxk_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354666/nvidia-may-cut-tsmc-chip-orders-amid-mounting-pressure-report-claims">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Nintendo Switch 2 Jailbreak Reportedly Patched With Firmware 23.5.0</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354664/nintendo-switch-2-jailbreak-reportedly-patched-with-firmware-23-5-0</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354664/nintendo-switch-2-jailbreak-reportedly-patched-with-firmware-23-5-0#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>7</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Nintendo's latest Switch 2 system update, version 23.5.0, seems to have shut down ns2jb, the console's <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354036/nintendo-switch-2-gets-its-first-software-only-jailbreak-with-help-from-openai-codex" target="_blank">first software-only jailbreak</a>. Dataminer <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/OatmealDome/status/2119976839640690818" target="_blank">OatmealDome</a> says the OS exploit the jailbreak relied on is now patched, and that dumping and modding games won't be possible from here on. The one exception, he says, could be some cartridge games, and maybe game updates, released in the near future. Exploits inside individual titles, such as the SmileBASIC 4 programming app and Civilization VII, still work. However, it is no longer possible to break out of those apps into the rest of the system, so homebrew is stuck with whatever they can already do. <br />
<br />
Nintendo's <a rel="nofollow" href="https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68473#current" target="_blank">patch notes</a> don't mention any of this. The listed changes cover accessibility options during first-time setup, groundwork for eShop gifting within family groups, and a new text-to-speech language, plus general fixes. It is also the first Switch 2 firmware since 23.0.1, the version ns2jb targeted when security researcher Sammy &quot;pepsipu&quot; Hajhamid released it on October 22. His exploit began with an integer overflow bug in SmileBASIC 4, a Switch 1 programming app that runs on the Switch 2 through backward compatibility. It was tethered to a PC and didn't survive reboots. Nintendo pulled SmileBASIC 4 from the eShop shortly after the release.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/lZOZEqLZ9hlVLBcC.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="844" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/lZOZEqLZ9hlVLBcC_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354664/nintendo-switch-2-jailbreak-reportedly-patched-with-firmware-23-5-0">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

Now, Sony has announced that it will soon be ending development of the PlayStation Plus PC app, which previously allowed PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers to stream PlayStation Plus games from their PCs. <br />
<br />
The announcement comes by way of the official PlayStation Blog, which confirms that the app will go offline on December 10, and Sony justifies the move by saying that &quot;less than 0.4%&quot; of PlayStation Plus Premium users actually used the PlayStation Plus app on PC. It also confirmed that it would be ending the PlayStation Plus cloud streaming app on PC at the same time. At the same time, it seems as though Sony is completing its transition away from PC ports, with the recent return of the &quot;PlayStation Exclusive&quot; badge on first-party games, as spotted by <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/realradec/status/2119079792071135373" target="_blank">@realradec on X</a>.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/qoL8qyJ6PLqrrGNZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="640" data-height="623" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/qoL8qyJ6PLqrrGNZ_thm.jpg" width="134" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/avGCQUzGaKMBWqWo.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="797" data-height="655" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/avGCQUzGaKMBWqWo_thm.jpg" width="158" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354661/playstation-continues-pc-withdrawal-by-ending-ps-plus-pc-app">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>GTA 6 Comes to Xbox One at Launch via Cloud Gaming, PC Players Out of Luck</title>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354663/gta-6-comes-to-xbox-one-at-launch-via-cloud-gaming-pc-players-out-of-luck#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>11</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Xbox One owners will be able to play GTA 6 when it launches on November 19, while PC players still have no official way in. In its <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/89834o94713o21/pre-load-grand-theft-auto-vi-now" target="_blank">pre-load announcement</a>, which also confirmed a <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354644/grand-theft-auto-vi-runs-at-30-fps-ps5-pro-gets-pssr-and-ray-tracing" target="_blank">30 FPS target on consoles</a>, Rockstar says the game will be available through Xbox Cloud Gaming on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles, using Xbox Series S graphics settings. Xbox says streaming opens at 1 AM ET on launch day, and the game still has to be bought separately. Rockstar also warns that connection speed and other technical factors may affect performance in ways that local play would not.<br />
<br />
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma framed the news as the start of a much bigger deal with Rockstar's parent company. In a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/asha_shar/status/2120181266318590366" target="_blank">post on X</a>, she called the Xbox One cloud launch the first step of a new 10-year strategic partnership with Take-Two, adding that GTA 6 is already the most pre-ordered game ever on the Microsoft Store. Neither company has shared the terms of that partnership so far. Xbox <a rel="nofollow" href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/11/10/grand-theft-auto-6-comes-to-xbox-cloud-gaming-november-19/" target="_blank">did confirm</a> that GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, and more Rockstar titles will join Xbox Cloud Gaming in the coming months. Back in October, Sharma reportedly told staff at an internal town hall that Xbox had something planned around GTA 6 that &quot;no other platform holder is doing,&quot; which led to <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353446/gta-6-cloud-streaming-reportedly-exclusive-to-xbox" target="_blank">reports of exclusive streaming rights</a>. Xbox CSO Matthew Ball shot those down shortly after, saying the game &quot;will not be streaming exclusively or to PC.&quot;<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/cn9ick8JCPnPSEmb.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1500" data-height="844" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/cn9ick8JCPnPSEmb_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/6r4utEAVnEuPjFix.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1350" data-height="810" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/6r4utEAVnEuPjFix_thm.jpg" width="217" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ttWih4Gt5EPL2ENV.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1080" data-height="607" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ttWih4Gt5EPL2ENV_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354663/gta-6-comes-to-xbox-one-at-launch-via-cloud-gaming-pc-players-out-of-luck">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Firefox 160 Releases With New Mini Floating Windows and UI Improvements</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354655/firefox-160-releases-with-new-mini-floating-windows-and-ui-improvements</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354655/firefox-160-releases-with-new-mini-floating-windows-and-ui-improvements#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>13</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Mozilla has <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.firefox.com/en-US/firefox/160.0/releasenotes/?redirect_source=mozilla-org" target="_blank">officially released</a> Firefox Browser version 160, which brings with it both a number of under-the-hood and user-facing changes to improve the average browsing experience. Aside from a few technical changes, like support for MKV playback with FLAC, MP3 or PCM audio, the biggest new user-facing changes are the new Mini Windows and an updated UI for the PiP (Picture-in-Picture) video player. <br />
<br />
Mini Windows is a new early implementation of a feature that allows users to move a tab or a part of a page into an always-on-top window. To access Mini Windows, you right-click a tab, and select &quot;Move to Mini Window,&quot; and you can then right-click any section of page content and select &quot;Move Section to Mini Window,&quot; which will bring up a new UI to select and isolate a particular section of a page for use in the mini window.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/1iQIdlU6v6OoZpaj.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1526" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/1iQIdlU6v6OoZpaj_thm.jpg" width="207" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354655/firefox-160-releases-with-new-mini-floating-windows-and-ui-improvements">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>(PR) AMD Unveils 6th Gen EPYC Embedded Processors</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354660/amd-unveils-6th-gen-epyc-embedded-processors</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354660/amd-unveils-6th-gen-epyc-embedded-processors#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>1</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[What's the News? AMD announced the AMD EPYC Embedded 9006 Series SP7 CPUs, expanding its x86 processor portfolio optimized for embedded customer requirements and deployments. Advanced by the high-performance &quot;Zen 6&quot; core architecture, AMD EPYC Embedded 9006 CPUs combine up to 256 cores, scalable PCIe Gen 6 and CXL 3.1 connectivity, and advanced security from secure boot through runtime. With a throughput increase of up to 1.8x compared with the previous generation 5th Gen AMD EPYC 9005 Series processors, they provide the leadership compute and high-speed connectivity needed to scale throughput and handle increasingly demanding workloads in semiconductor automated test equipment (ATE), enterprise storage and network firewall applications. Seven-year product longevity, support for post-quantum cryptography for firmware signing, and ongoing security updates simplify maintenance and long-term support for mission-critical embedded applications.<br />
<br />
Why It Matters? As AI infrastructure expands and data volumes grow, semiconductor ATE needs to validate memory and I/O devices faster, firewalls need to process and secure more network traffic, and storage controllers need to move and process more data. AMD EPYC Embedded 9006 processors deliver the high throughput, memory bandwidth and I/O performance required to meet these growing application demands.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/yjFGHIY4WCNnqhb4.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/yjFGHIY4WCNnqhb4_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/A5uqR5epT9XXCCjA.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="918" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/A5uqR5epT9XXCCjA_thm.jpg" width="124" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/9gD6N9IR1Z11sGSD.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="922" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/9gD6N9IR1Z11sGSD_thm.jpg" width="125" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Ep9ITv5SUpKWI5tk.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="612" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Ep9ITv5SUpKWI5tk_thm.jpg" width="83" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354660/amd-unveils-6th-gen-epyc-embedded-processors">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Microsoft Developer Builds a GPU Task Manager to Show Which Apps Are Eating Your VRAM</title>

It runs in a terminal window with an htop-style layout and lists every process using the GPU with its memory footprint, engine activity, and loaded runtime, such as CUDA or Vulkan. A panel up top tracks utilization, clocks, temperature, and power. Hanselman <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/shanselman/status/2117419804189741408" target="_blank">shared the project on X</a> last week and asked for pull requests.<br />
<br />
Task Manager has <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/234562/windows-10-task-manager-to-get-gpu-utilization-tab" target="_blank">shown GPU usage since 2017</a>, and it will happily tell you that 15 GB of video memory is in use. It just won't say what is using it. gputaskman goes after that gap with a heavy focus on local AI. Its model inspector can identify the LLM a process has loaded and report its quantization, weights, and estimated KV cache cost, while Ollama and LM Studio users also get context size and proper model names. Hanselman calls it early, experimental software, and the AI breakdowns are estimates for now.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Z5eyeNBkqe0RCQw1.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1538" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Z5eyeNBkqe0RCQw1_thm.jpg" width="208" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Q7YphvzaxbBkDJzb.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1538" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Q7YphvzaxbBkDJzb_thm.jpg" width="208" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354659/microsoft-developer-builds-a-gpu-task-manager-to-show-which-apps-are-eating-your-vram">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Keychron Launches G25 HE 46 g Gaming Mouse with Razer Viper Mini Shape and Analog Switches</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354650/keychron-launches-g25-he-46-g-gaming-mouse-with-razer-viper-mini-shape-and-analog-switches</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354650/keychron-launches-g25-he-46-g-gaming-mouse-with-razer-viper-mini-shape-and-analog-switches#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>0</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Following the release of the Keychron G6 HE, the brand has been steadily expanding its portfolio of models with Hall effect switches for adjustable actuation and rapid trigger support. The G25 HE is Keychron's latest HE mouse model, recently announced in an <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/KeychronMK/status/2119967093076734221" target="_blank">X post</a>, and it takes the Hall effect switch tech and the flagship internals of the G6 HE and puts it all into a smaller shape that bears an uncanny resemblance to the Razer Viper Mini and Cobra shapes. Keychron has yet to provide a full spec sheet or product page for the G25 HE, but the mouse has been scanned and submitted to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=razer-viper-mini-vs.-keychron-g25-he-vs.-razer-cobra-hyperspeed" target="_blank">EloShapes for comparisons</a>, where its specs and features are also available. <br />
<br />
The Keychron G25 HE measures in at 120 × 63 × 39 mm and weighs 46 g, which is on the lighter side for a wireless mouse, but not the lightest by any means. It is also a symmetrical shape with right-side programmable thumb buttons and a partially open bottom plate. The G25 HE is powered by a PixArt PAW 3955 optical sensor and a Nordic 54LM20A MCU, which means it has a peak DPI of 40,000, up to 8 kHz polling rate, and can track at up to 750 IPS and 60 G of acceleration. The star of the show, and the mouse's namesake, are the MagOpt switches which feature both optical and Hall effect magnetic sensing, although the switches still have a click leaf and a distinct tactile bump, which has been largely considered to have a negative impact on the mouse's adjustable actuation trickery.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/3wd3zPqXgqguXEw9.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="864" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/3wd3zPqXgqguXEw9_thm.jpg" width="117" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/1nTEOA6HRMnxCoGQ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="908" data-height="676" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/1nTEOA6HRMnxCoGQ_thm.jpg" width="175" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/fiUwjYQS3a4tpoqY.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1350" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/fiUwjYQS3a4tpoqY_thm.jpg" width="183" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354650/keychron-launches-g25-he-46-g-gaming-mouse-with-razer-viper-mini-shape-and-analog-switches">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354652/intel-and-altera-partner-for-edge-and-physical-ai-development#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>0</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Intel and Altera today announced a collaboration to develop a flexible, real-time sensor bridge for a range of Edge &amp; Physical AI industries including healthcare, aerospace and defense, and robotics applications. By combining Intel compute, connectivity and software with Altera FPGAs, the companies aim to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) address the growing complexity of connecting, processing and acting on real-world data across increasingly sensor-rich edge environments.<br />
<br />
Edge and Physical AI systems can require data from different sensors and interfaces to be brought together while meeting requirements for timing, performance, power and cost. Some applications also require very high bandwidth or flexible form factors in which input/output (I/O) is located away from the compute board. Sensor data must then be streamed rapidly into memory for the host Intel processor to use across edge, robotics and other workloads.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/u1PWFdbvkO9nKlHE.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/u1PWFdbvkO9nKlHE_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354652/intel-and-altera-partner-for-edge-and-physical-ai-development">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>(PR) NZXT Launches H7 and H5 Cases in Single-Piece Curved Glass, Plus Kraken Coolers</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354460/nzxt-launches-h7-and-h5-cases-in-single-piece-curved-glass-plus-kraken-coolers</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354460/nzxt-launches-h7-and-h5-cases-in-single-piece-curved-glass-plus-kraken-coolers#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>3</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[NZXT, a leading brand in PC gaming components and prebuilt systems, today launched new generations of two case lines and two liquid coolers: the H7 and H7 RGB+, the H5 and H5 RGB+, the Kraken Plus 360 RGB, and the Kraken Core 360 and 420. On the H7 and H5, the front and left side are a single-formed panel of curved tempered glass. There is no corner seam where two flat sheets meet, so nothing interrupts the view of the build. Holding a formed curve through tempering is a tolerance problem, which is why the corner seam is the usual answer. On the H7, a tempered glass top cut to the same radius comes fitted as standard, carrying the glass from front to side to top. NZXT calls that Vista Mode.<br />
<br />
Both coolers are Cooled by Asetek, on a copper cold-plate. The Kraken Plus puts a customizable display on the pump cap; the Kraken Core is the version with nothing to manage. &quot;The H7, H5 and Kraken are the heart of our lineup, and they're where most NZXT builds start. This generation refreshes all of them at once: single-piece curved glass across both mid-towers, and an Asetek pump in both new Krakens. We're also adding new case features builders haven't seen from us before, like Vista Mode and the Airflow Scoop,&quot; said Johnny Hou, CEO at NZXT.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/L9ogoYyjU5kv7OBj.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1412" data-height="1200" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/L9ogoYyjU5kv7OBj_thm.jpg" width="153" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/HvdcjLPTDRdGfmLM.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1442" data-height="1200" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/HvdcjLPTDRdGfmLM_thm.jpg" width="156" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/bDTu9w1BbjWnbflM.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1293" data-height="1200" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/bDTu9w1BbjWnbflM_thm.jpg" width="140" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/cuIFI90cZFd8skfa.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1282" data-height="1200" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/cuIFI90cZFd8skfa_thm.jpg" width="139" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/7RWCFm62El6MpgSw.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1237" data-height="1200" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/7RWCFm62El6MpgSw_thm.jpg" width="134" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/onhQUOjaCj5tgnMr.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="1200" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/onhQUOjaCj5tgnMr_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354460/nzxt-launches-h7-and-h5-cases-in-single-piece-curved-glass-plus-kraken-coolers">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

With the game launching on November 19, Rockstar has confirmed that it will run at 30 frames per second on consoles, utilizing their integrated graphics for maximum visual fidelity. This means that while the studio has invested significant resources to maximize the performance of these console graphics cards, the game will be capped at 30 FPS to ensure stability and optimal visual quality. Current generation consoles are limited to 30 FPS, although some will receive additional features.<br />
<br />
For instance, Sony's PlayStation 5 Pro will offer gamers PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) and ray-traced shadows, exclusive to that console. Although the standard PlayStation 5 supports a similar technology called <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353313/playstation-5-gets-ai-upscaling-with-quick-spectral-super-resolution-technology" target="_blank">Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR)</a>, a simplified version of PSSR, it will not be implemented at launch.

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354643/asrock-updates-vbios-flashing-utility-following-radeon-rx-7900-xt-xtx-bricking-reports#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>1</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[ASRock has released an updated version of the ASRVBFlash utility, version 1.0.6, which is intended to fix issues caused by the previous version, 1.0.5, for Radeon RX 7900 XT/XTX users. The earlier version led to <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354533/asrock-radeon-rx-7900-xt-xtx-vbios-update-bricks-some-cards" target="_blank">reports</a> of ASRock GPUs becoming bricked after users attempted to update the firmware with ASRVBFlash. ASRock has quietly released the 1.0.6 update without providing details on what changes have been made. We only know that this version aims to prevent the bricking of cards and instead properly update the GPU firmware to enhance security, which was the original intent.<br />
<br />
The initial issue arose when users ran the ASRVBFlash 1.0.5 utility. During the process, Windows would start a reboot sequence, but the system would then fail to boot. At the time, a workaround involved reinstalling an older VBIOS, which some users downloaded from TechPowerUp's VBIOS hosting. Meanwhile, ASRock reportedly removed VBIOS version 1.0.5 from its download pages, although it remained accessible via FTP connections.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Wl7htNsHaC22QrEz.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1467" data-height="720" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Wl7htNsHaC22QrEz_thm.jpg" width="265" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/RRVY6Fckb25DjL8E.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2482" data-height="625" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/RRVY6Fckb25DjL8E_thm.jpg" width="516" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354643/asrock-updates-vbios-flashing-utility-following-radeon-rx-7900-xt-xtx-bricking-reports">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

Called KORA, this operating system is the first bottom-up OS designed specifically for AI PCs, enabling agentic workflows. It is one of the first concepts where a system is so heavily customized that AI workflows are native to it. The company developed this customized operating system on top of NixOS, using it as a foundational layer.<br />
<br />
The customization includes the development of what are called neural workspaces and file systems, which replace traditional folders and desktop apps. While these traditional elements are still present, the workflow on KORA OS is organized around intent, context, and memory. Each workspace is divided based on user intent, and the OS manages the files accordingly. Security is robust, as KORA implements each workspace within a secured sandbox for applications and agents, with separate permissions. The memory and context of the workflow remain on the user's desktop, never leaving the machine. Features like semantic search and email are natively integrated, allowing you to search across your entire OS or email to find what you need.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/uEUBLuuqTCAsCA03.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1901" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/uEUBLuuqTCAsCA03_thm.jpg" width="229" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/pQ8kla86S07DUkwy.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1881" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/pQ8kla86S07DUkwy_thm.jpg" width="226" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/NQGgoXH96hurnmGT.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1946" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/NQGgoXH96hurnmGT_thm.jpg" width="234" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354608/kora-introduces-ai-focused-operating-system-with-local-ai-and-agentic-workspaces">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Rapidus Could Miss 2 nm Mass Production Timeline Amid SRAM Issues</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354639/rapidus-could-miss-2-nm-mass-production-timeline-amid-sram-issues</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354639/rapidus-could-miss-2-nm-mass-production-timeline-amid-sram-issues#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>6</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Japanese semiconductor maker Rapidus might miss the planned timeline for its 2 nm node production, as the company is reportedly struggling with its initial attempts at risk production and trial runs. According to a report by the Japan Times, 2 nm volume production at Rapidus facilities will likely be delayed by a few months due to difficulties in 2 nm production, specifically with SRAM. SRAM consists of tiny bitcells that serve as the foundational building blocks for designs operating on one node, and without functional SRAM, it is simply impossible to achieve normal volume production.<br />
<br />
There are reportedly other problems, including dust and particle control, which are impacting Rapidus cleanrooms—where the actual silicon is manufactured—to a point where production may be jeopardized altogether. Engineers are working on fixing these problems with the cleanroom and SRAM cells, which should put Rapidus on the right track. Despite these challenges, the company claims that the 2 nm node will arrive on time without any delays, so we are yet to see how these issues will impact their product delivery pipeline.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/uBphEBufhwxO7X21.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1063" data-height="762" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/uBphEBufhwxO7X21_thm.jpg" width="181" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/O7qJSXwfbZopmWRy.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1440" data-height="844" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/O7qJSXwfbZopmWRy_thm.jpg" width="222" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354639/rapidus-could-miss-2-nm-mass-production-timeline-amid-sram-issues">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>AMD&#039;s RDNA 5 Inches Closer as GFX13 Support Lands in Linux Driver Patches</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354637/amds-rdna-5-inches-closer-as-gfx13-support-lands-in-linux-driver-patches</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354637/amds-rdna-5-inches-closer-as-gfx13-support-lands-in-linux-driver-patches#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>12</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[AMD has begun integrating its next-generation graphics IP into the Linux kernel, releasing a series of eight patches that add GFX13 support to the open-source AMDGPU driver. These patches, submitted to the mailing list on November 9 by AMDGPU maintainer Alex Deucher, contain over 12,600 lines of code, excluding the typically large header files. GFX13 is anticipated to be the graphics core for RDNA 5, although AMD has not officially confirmed this connection. However, since GFX12 has been linked to RDNA 4, it is assumed that GFX13 is the correct codename for RDNA 5.<br />
<br />
The patches introduce version 13 of three IP blocks: the &quot;graphics&quot; GFX block itself, the MicroEngine Scheduler (MES), and the IMU. On the compute side, the AMDKFD driver gains initial GC 13 support, a CWSR trap handler for saving and restoring compute wave state, and a temporary change that disables queue reset in the topology. The final patch enables the MGCG, CGCG, and CGLS clock gating features, which reduce power consumption when parts of the GPU are idle. Interestingly, the series mentions two specific targets, GFX 13.0.1 and GFX 13.0.4, indicating that AMD is preparing at least two graphics IP configurations. These version numbers do not correspond to any specific GPU models, so it is unclear which products they relate to. RDNA 5 is expected to be a significant advancement over RDNA 4, necessitating numerous patches to add support.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/iT09wDGBC5ze5s5Z.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1170" data-height="658" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/iT09wDGBC5ze5s5Z_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/I2vTY78TESSYpptD.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1230" data-height="323" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/I2vTY78TESSYpptD_thm.jpg" width="495" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354637/amds-rdna-5-inches-closer-as-gfx13-support-lands-in-linux-driver-patches">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Anthropic&#039;s Fable 5.2 One-Shots a Playable FPS Game in Just 8 Hours</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354636/anthropics-fable-5-2-one-shots-a-playable-fps-game-in-just-8-hours</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354636/anthropics-fable-5-2-one-shots-a-playable-fps-game-in-just-8-hours#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>41</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[The power of frontier AI models is increasing, and the gaming realm has already experienced what AI can do in terms of mods, changes, bug fixes, and many other aspects when a powerful model is put to work. Late last night, Anthropic released its most powerful frontier model, Fable 5.2, which brings the best intelligence from the company's offerings into an API. As a demonstration of this model's capabilities, we are seeing a relatively complex first-person shooter developed from scratch today. This includes models, sounds, and textures, all created by Fable 5.2. It took about eight hours, 445 million input tokens, and about 2.7 million output tokens, totaling around $550 if done through an API. The result is a game called &quot;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://claude.ai/artifact/BGY1SztrAYcJQHSsnHHGmp" target="_blank">Saltline</a>,&quot; which can be played entirely in a browser through Claude Artifact, a platform used to showcase creations.<br />
<br />
Below you can find the &quot;Saltline&quot; game, where the objective is a simple mission to cut three relays while being constantly attacked by an army of robot dogs and drones. After completing the objective, the main character reaches a boat, and the mission is complete. While this is a very simple task, the fact that Fable 5.2 accomplished all of this from a prompt is an amazing achievement. It can deploy thousands of agents to get one thing done, and with better descriptions, it can perform tasks much closer to what you have imagined.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/rgdUuDmtwgHTzsoZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2047" data-height="955" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/rgdUuDmtwgHTzsoZ_thm.jpg" width="279" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/GX6G3HCp8FzI9txL.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1896" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/GX6G3HCp8FzI9txL_thm.jpg" width="257" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/gZvxN8Xnzz4w5tcy.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1882" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/gZvxN8Xnzz4w5tcy_thm.jpg" width="255" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KSgQBCtGzI8dbAgL.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1859" data-height="958" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/KSgQBCtGzI8dbAgL_thm.jpg" width="252" height="130" alt="" /></a></div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354636/anthropics-fable-5-2-one-shots-a-playable-fps-game-in-just-8-hours">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

In a new <a rel="nofollow" href="https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/685269801333948420" target="_blank">Steam Client update</a>, however, Valve has confirmed that it will start sharing that same average Steam Deck framerate data with players before they buy the game, so that they can get a relatively accurate idea of what to expect from the gameplay experience before spending money on the game. <br />
<br />
The framerate data will be displayed as an average at the bottom of the Steam Deck compatibility screen as an FPS figure specific to the player's current hardware. The figure will also cite the date the average was last updated. Clicking or tapping the dropdown arrow next to the framerate note will expand a histogram showing the game's average framerate distribution across gaming sessions as a percentage. This should, with relative certainty, convey how often players ran into gameplay hitching.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/c7jexJuEX0zKAsYf.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1103" data-height="643" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/c7jexJuEX0zKAsYf_thm.jpg" width="223" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/1dXP2QQbAC7rGnsy.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1103" data-height="703" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/1dXP2QQbAC7rGnsy_thm.jpg" width="204" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354634/valve-adds-steam-deck-fps-data-to-game-compatibility-screen-in-latest-update">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Pulsar Previews Silent HE Gaming Keyboards With 3.5 mm Audio Jack and 8 kHz Polling</title>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354628/pulsar-previews-silent-he-gaming-keyboards-with-3-5-mm-audio-jack-and-8-khz-polling#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>6</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Pulsar has apparently been busy in recent months, with the gaming peripherals maker previously showing off an <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/352809/pulsar-shows-off-x5-62-g-large-ergonomic-gaming-mouse-with-extra-thumb-button" target="_blank">upcoming ergonomic gaming mouse designed for gamers with large hands</a> and more recently teasing <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354280/pulsar-teases-dual-sensor-gaming-mouse-with-true-adjustable-sensor-position" target="_blank">new dual-sensor gaming mice that will allow for true virtual sensor position</a> for individual customization. Now, according to a recent post shared by <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/jakeufps/status/2119796609643139216" target="_blank">@jakeufps on X</a>, Pulsar is planning to launch two new Hall effect gaming keyboards: the Sboard HE TKL and Sboard HE 100%. <br />
<br />
As you might have guessed, the names denote two distinct keyboard form factors—classic TKL and 100% layouts, the latter of which is already something of a rarity in the modern gaming keyboard market—but instead of chasing fancy features, like programmable knobs, Pulsar has gone for a cleaner aesthetic and functionality. Both keyboards have the typical 8 kHz polling rate and Hall effect switches expected from serious gaming keyboards launched in 2026, but they also have built in DACs and four-pole 3.5 mm audio combo jacks for audio passthrough. Both keyboards will also supposedly launch with silent Hall effect switches, which is another stand-out feature in a world of clacky gaming keyboards.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/z6zO0O3edOnrKVzB.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1279" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/z6zO0O3edOnrKVzB_thm.jpg" width="173" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354628/pulsar-previews-silent-he-gaming-keyboards-with-3-5-mm-audio-jack-and-8-khz-polling">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Microsoft Patent Describes Paying PC Owners to Train AI on Idle GPUs</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354630/microsoft-patent-describes-paying-pc-owners-to-train-ai-on-idle-gpus</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354630/microsoft-patent-describes-paying-pc-owners-to-train-ai-on-idle-gpus#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>35</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Gaming PCs sitting idle could one day earn their owners credits, or even cash, by training AI models, at least if a newly published Microsoft patent application ever becomes a product. Titled &quot;Opportunistic Micro-training on Edge Devices Using Spare GPU Utilization,&quot; the filing <a rel="nofollow" href="https://ppubs.uspto.gov/api/pdf/downloadPdf/US-20260349820-A1?source=US-PGPUB&amp;requestToken=eyJzdWIiOiJlY2FlY2NjYS1mY2I1LTQ5MzctYWRkNy1mMzQwZDVhYzg0MjYiLCJ2ZXIiOiJiNDY4ODA5OS0zNWZjLTQyZGYtYWE2OC1hYjZmODI4YzczYmIiLCJleHAiOjB9" target="_blank">US-20260349820-A1</a> from Microsoft Technology Licensing was submitted in April 2025 and made public on November 5. It describes chopping large training jobs into small micro-tasks sized to what each device can handle, then sending them to phones, laptops, and gaming PCs whenever they have spare capacity. Owners would have to explicitly opt in, after which the system could track the work done and apply credits to their account, redeemable for free software, access to the trained model, or money.<br />
<br />
To stay out of the way, the system watches GPU and CPU load, memory use, temperature and power draw, and checks less often when the GPU is busy or hot. Apparently, tasks can be paused or stopped when limits are crossed, and results get cross-checked across devices to catch faulty or tampered work. The filing doesn't give a payout rate or list supported hardware, and Microsoft hasn't announced a Windows or Xbox service, so it's impossible to say whether the rewards would cover the extra electricity. Of course, this is only an application for now, and plenty of those never turn into products.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/QG5ajr2K9EEIur7E.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1160" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/QG5ajr2K9EEIur7E_thm.jpg" width="157" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/M8faIH4HOJ4MrXxt.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1242" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/M8faIH4HOJ4MrXxt_thm.jpg" width="168" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Fii5M3n1dVD27K5w.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1536" data-height="864" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Fii5M3n1dVD27K5w_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354630/microsoft-patent-describes-paying-pc-owners-to-train-ai-on-idle-gpus">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>GTA 6&#039;s PlayStation Store Data Hints at Multiplayer Support</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354616/gta-6s-playstation-store-data-hints-at-multiplayer-support</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354616/gta-6s-playstation-store-data-hints-at-multiplayer-support#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>5</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[<a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/PlaystationSize/status/2119602091630944609" target="_blank">PlayStation Game Size</a>, the X account that pulls data from the PlayStation Store backend, has found three multiplayer-related entries tied to GTA 6 on PS5: &quot;joinSession,&quot; &quot;launchActivity,&quot; and &quot;launchMultiplayerActivity.&quot; The account posted them on November 9, shortly before pre-loads started unlocking, and later <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/PlaystationSize/status/2119649173305712979" target="_blank">shared a screenshot</a> of the PS5 download queue where &quot;Story&quot; shows up as its own component. That has fans guessing that GTA 6's online mode could arrive as a separate install down the line. The same account <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354219/gta-6-tipped-to-be-a-210-gb-download-on-ps5" target="_blank">pegged the download at 210 GB</a> before Rockstar <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354448/gta-6-will-need-up-to-212-gb-of-storage-pre-load-now-starts-november-10" target="_blank">confirmed up to 212 GB</a>, so its backend data has a decent track record. <br />
<br />
Of course, these entries don't mean there's a playable online mode hiding in the files. They seem to be standard PS5 system hooks that let the console's UI jump players straight into an activity or a friend's session, and there's no sign of actual multiplayer content in what has been shared so far. Rockstar still describes GTA 6 as a single-player experience and hasn't announced its online mode at all. That said, a follow-up seems to be on the way. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy said earlier this year that he expects GTA 6's <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/352812/gta-vi-online-tipped-for-2027-launch" target="_blank">multiplayer to launch in 2027</a>, after talking with Rockstar about its plans. Take-Two has also said the current GTA Online will keep getting support after GTA 6 releases.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/uQSENfzTYiQbM2uk.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/uQSENfzTYiQbM2uk_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/1b3sj1PFdXse5dkf.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1262" data-height="588" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/1b3sj1PFdXse5dkf_thm.jpg" width="279" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>DLSS 5 on Radeon Gets Faster With AMDLSS5 2.0, Up to 64% Performance Uplift</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354629/dlss-5-on-radeon-gets-faster-with-amdlss5-2-0-up-to-64-performance-uplift</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354629/dlss-5-on-radeon-gets-faster-with-amdlss5-2-0-up-to-64-performance-uplift#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>17</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[AMDLSS5, a free mod that runs NVIDIA's DLSS 5 Neural Rendering on AMD's Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT, has reached <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/Wehaveall/AMDLSS5/releases/tag/v2.0.0" target="_blank">version 2.0</a> with an engine its developer, Wehaveall, built for the project. Earlier builds were based on Daniel Blanco's DLSS-NR-on-AMD, the tool that <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/352360/modders-get-dlss-5-working-on-amd-graphics-cards-though-performance-is-rough" target="_blank">first got DLSS 5 working on Radeon cards</a> back in September, but version 2.0 no longer needs files from any other mod. In a 60-second Resident Evil Requiem run at 4K with FSR on an RX 9070 XT, the new build averaged 101.2 FPS with 78.5 FPS 1% lows, up from 91.3 and 66.0 FPS on version 1.6.1. That is roughly 11% and 19% better, respectively.<br />
<br />
The headline 64% figure comes from a comparison with unnamed &quot;other mods,&quot; which managed 61.6 FPS in the same scene. These are the developer's own numbers from one game on one GPU, and there's no mod-off baseline showing what Neural Rendering costs. Game support now includes PRAGMATA, Nioh 3 and GTA 5 Enhanced, the latter only in offline Story Mode with BattlEye disabled. RX 9060 series cards should work but are untested, while RX 7000 support is an alpha that hasn't been tried on real hardware yet.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/6ud29060LWgRyFTj.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1708" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/6ud29060LWgRyFTj_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/0mJVEkCnDeG5eUSq.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2560" data-height="788" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/0mJVEkCnDeG5eUSq_thm.jpg" width="422" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354629/dlss-5-on-radeon-gets-faster-with-amdlss5-2-0-up-to-64-performance-uplift">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>GTA VI Game Data Suggests PSSR Update With 120 Hz Support and PS5 Pro &quot;High CPU Frequency Mode&quot;</title>

The latest news comes from <a rel="nofollow" href="https://gtaforums.com/topic/1007789-gta-vi-launch-pre-loading-room/?do=findComment&amp;comment=1072854671" target="_blank">GTAForums user Tex2</a>, who analyzed the GTA VI PS5 metadata, who claims that GTA VI will launch alongside a newer version of PSSR. The biggest takeaways from this update are that the new PSSR game mode improves both the framerate capabilities of the PlayStation 5 and manages to eke out some more CPU performance out of the PlayStation 5. <br />
<br />
The metadata lists PSSR (or MFSR, by Sony's internal references) version 13.60, which builds on the 13.00A found in Assassin's Creed Shadows and Cyberpunk 2077, and the new version will apparently include a 120 Hz mode that drops support for VRR. It may also include a 40 FPS mode as a stop-gap to make up for the lack of VRR, but that hasn't been confirmed by the metadata. It will also enable a CPU High Frequency mode on the PlayStation 5, which may be necessary to enable higher frame rates in GTA VI.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/GJKQJlhZsBmhox7y.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1088" data-height="612" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/GJKQJlhZsBmhox7y_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/VoZ4S29iK77Aj5Oe.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/VoZ4S29iK77Aj5Oe_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/FNYaF2aQjneG3yU5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1397" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/FNYaF2aQjneG3yU5_thm.jpg" width="189" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

The 3C+ Wired controller has a traditional Xbox layout on both the face buttons and the offset analog sticks, but it features additional customization options that set it apart from a regular Xbox controller. <br />
<br />
The headline features of the Ultimate 3C+ Wired controller include TMR joysticks with adjustable tension, which are supposed to resist joystick drift; remappable fast-trigger L4 and R4 buttons for additional inputs and faster trigger response times; Hall effect triggers with switchable dual-mode functionality; and a 3.5 mm audio jack at the bottom of the controller for more immersive sound. It also has two additional back paddles with an integrated paddle lock to prevent accidental activations.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/wFpXWYFw9qSEuIE6.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/wFpXWYFw9qSEuIE6_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/HEcwQRTEKMqM4Jlg.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1093" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/HEcwQRTEKMqM4Jlg_thm.jpg" width="148" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/rWYjx3LUXE2Mzmj6.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1093" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/rWYjx3LUXE2Mzmj6_thm.jpg" width="148" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/NsRZEDtzQVgsH1aI.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1093" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/NsRZEDtzQVgsH1aI_thm.jpg" width="148" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354622/8bitdo-launches-ultimate-3c-wired-controller-for-xbox-and-pc">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>(PR) Fraunhofer IPMS Develops Compact 2K OLED Microdisplay Package with MIPI DSI-2</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354621/fraunhofer-ipms-develops-compact-2k-oled-microdisplay-package-with-mipi-dsi-2</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354621/fraunhofer-ipms-develops-compact-2k-oled-microdisplay-package-with-mipi-dsi-2#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>2</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS have developed a new compact package for their 2K OLED microdisplay. The microdisplay package integrates MIPI DSI-2 control and the generation of all required display voltages. The new solution will be presented for the first time at SEMICON Europa 2026 from November 10 to 13, 2026, in Munich - at the Silicon Saxony joint booth in Hall B1, Booth B1-221-25.<br />
<br />
OLED microdisplays are frequently used in portable applications such as helmets and smart glasses as well as in optical devices. The new microdisplay package simplifies the integration of Fraunhofer IPMS's 2K microdisplays into such systems, as it combines the microdisplay with the complete electronics required for its control. An integrated 20 mm x 20 mm system-on-module (SoM) implements the MIPI DSI-2 interface via D-PHY, which is widely used in mobile processors and transmits image data and control commands serially at high speeds. The microdisplay package supports up to four data lanes with a data rate of up to 2.5 Gbit/s per lane.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/cOBqaUGSVkT1LHiE.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1358" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/cOBqaUGSVkT1LHiE_thm.jpg" width="184" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/SKeapeLiiXFbSl8D.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1333" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/SKeapeLiiXFbSl8D_thm.jpg" width="181" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354621/fraunhofer-ipms-develops-compact-2k-oled-microdisplay-package-with-mipi-dsi-2">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

Infineon is the first company to pioneer this innovation milestone in a full-scale semiconductor fab environment. It was realized by utilizing existing silicon (Si) manufacturing equipment. This early achievement of functional power devices reflects Infineon's strong focus on providing customers with a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance SiC power semiconductors and ensuring long-term supply. Chip production on 300 mm wafers is technologically more advanced and significantly more efficient than 200 mm wafers, since the larger wafer diameter offers 2.3 times more chips per wafer.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/KedlkuV3PfKKScZ5.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1440" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/KedlkuV3PfKKScZ5_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/vQeVWCAmSpAhPwkf.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1440" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/vQeVWCAmSpAhPwkf_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354619/infineon-starts-worlds-first-300-millimeter-power-silicon-carbide-sic-wafer-production">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Windows 11 Will Finally Let You Silence the Sticky Keys Prompt for Good</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354615/windows-11-will-finally-let-you-silence-the-sticky-keys-prompt-for-good</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354615/windows-11-will-finally-let-you-silence-the-sticky-keys-prompt-for-good#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>26</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Pressing Shift five times in a row might soon stop summoning the Sticky Keys prompt on Windows 11. Microsoft is updating the dialogs that ask whether you want to turn on Sticky Keys or Filter Keys, adding a way to tell Windows not to ask again directly from the prompt. The change shows up in the release notes for <a rel="nofollow" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-insider/release-notes/beta/preview-build-26320-9876" target="_blank">Beta build 26320.9876</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-insider/release-notes/experimental/preview-build-26340-9882" target="_blank">Experimental build 26340.9882</a>, both released to Windows Insiders on November 6. Right now, getting rid of the prompt for good means going into Settings &gt; Accessibility &gt; Keyboard and turning off the keyboard shortcut for each feature. The same Beta build also moves the channel to Windows 11 26H2 and brings Microsoft's <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353476/microsoft-rebuilds-windows-11-search-adds-typed-commands-and-inline-copilot" target="_blank">rebuilt Windows Search</a>.<br />
<br />
This is a small tweak, though it fixes a long-running annoyance for gamers. Plenty of games use Shift to sprint or crouch, which makes it easy to trigger the Sticky Keys shortcut by accident, and the prompt can pull players out of full-screen games. Filter Keys has a similar shortcut that kicks in when the right Shift key is held down for eight seconds. Microsoft's notes don't mention games at all, saying only that it should mean fewer interruptions for people who don't use these features. It looks like another quality-of-life fix from Microsoft's <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/348651/microsofts-internal-initiative-to-fix-windows-11-dont-rush-features-out-the-door" target="_blank">internal push to clean up Windows 11</a>. There's no word on when the updated prompts will reach regular Windows 11 PCs, and Microsoft notes that features in Insider builds may not always ship, so it's reasonable to expect a wait of at least a few weeks.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/boUFr7jIc8nhNOUU.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/boUFr7jIc8nhNOUU_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/eFXiNcKpR0CytC53.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="509" data-height="214" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/eFXiNcKpR0CytC53_thm.jpg" width="309" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Assassin&#039;s Creed Hexe Reportedly Delayed Internally to 2028</title>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354614/assassins-creed-hexe-reportedly-delayed-internally-to-2028#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>0</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Assassin's Creed Hexe probably won't be out before 2028. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://insider-gaming.com/assassins-creed-rome-game/" target="_blank">Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson</a> says sources told him as recently as October that the game had run into issues and was pushed back internally by another year. The claim was tucked into a larger report about two unannounced Assassin's Creed projects, including the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354568/assassins-creed-codename-mars-reportedly-takes-the-series-to-ancient-rome" target="_blank">Ancient Rome game</a> codenamed Mars, though the Hexe bit is arguably the bigger news for anyone who has been waiting since Ubisoft first announced the game back in 2022. Henderson didn't say what the issues are. Up until now, 2027 looked like the target. A leaker <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/350794/assassins-creed-hexe-leaks-price-release-date-and-dlc-details-revealed" target="_blank">pointed to June 2027</a> earlier this year, and NateTheHate later said Hexe <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/351179/assassins-creed-hexe-to-launch-in-late-2027-at-earliest" target="_blank">wouldn't launch before the second half of 2027</a> at the earliest. <br />
<br />
Development hasn't exactly been smooth either. Ubisoft Montreal was reportedly <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/346894/ubisoft-reworks-assassins-creed-hexe-combat-deep-into-development-2027-launch-likely" target="_blank">reworking the combat</a> deep into production in February, and around 50 developers were <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/348560/ubisoft-downsizes-assassins-creed-hexe-dev-team-layoffs-potentially-imminent" target="_blank">reportedly moved off the project</a> a few months later. Ubisoft's latest official word came in its <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354288/ubisoft-has-no-other-assassins-creed-remakes-in-the-works-after-black-flag-resynced" target="_blank">Fall 2026 franchise update</a> at the end of October. The company said Hexe is making steady progress, though there is &quot;still work ahead of us,&quot; and promised the next major update in 2027. That isn't a confirmation of anything, though it does leave room for a 2028 launch. Ubisoft hasn't given Hexe any official release window so far, so readers are advised to treat 2028 as an internal target that could still move.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/6qGelVtKGnTqQjq3.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/6qGelVtKGnTqQjq3_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354613/maono-launches-the-pd500w-hybrid-microphone-for-modern-creators#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>2</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Maono, a leading global professional microphone brand, today announced the availability of the PD500W Hybrid Microphone, a professional dynamic microphone system designed to support modern creators across podcasting, streaming, video production, interviews and live content creation. Combining 2.4 GHz wireless, USB-C and XLR connectivity with optional 32-bit float internal recording and safety-track backup, the PD500W offers a flexible audio solution for a range of production workflows. <br />
<br />
The retail launch follows a successful 60-day Kickstarter campaign, which concluded on August 30, 2026, with 279 backers pledging US$100,124—more than double its original US$50,000 funding goal. The PD500W was developed around a practical challenge facing modern creators: a single recording session may begin at a desk, move to an on-location interview and later transition to a mobile or studio setup. By combining three connection options—USB-C, XLR and compatible 2.4 GHz wireless—with internal recording, the PD500W gives creators the flexibility to adapt to different devices and production environments without switching microphones.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/BOqKR6ZLFS9CzlkE.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1439" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/BOqKR6ZLFS9CzlkE_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Sbj07mYVb8419TRD.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="605" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Sbj07mYVb8419TRD_thm.jpg" width="82" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/4bNbcn6xpayv1w9F.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="605" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/4bNbcn6xpayv1w9F_thm.jpg" width="82" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Ho7I9nr5LleJvfJZ.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="735" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Ho7I9nr5LleJvfJZ_thm.jpg" width="100" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Kt2lFXSxRVsQavDx.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="960" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Kt2lFXSxRVsQavDx_thm.jpg" width="130" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354613/maono-launches-the-pd500w-hybrid-microphone-for-modern-creators">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Terafab Wants to Become One of the Largest Memory Makers by 2032</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354610/terafab-wants-to-become-one-of-the-largest-memory-makers-by-2032</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354610/terafab-wants-to-become-one-of-the-largest-memory-makers-by-2032#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>4</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[According to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQOUC026RB0S6A101C2000000/" target="_blank">Nikkei</a>, a procurement team from Terafab, the chip venture between Tesla and SpaceX, visited Japan and walked local equipment makers through what it plans to buy. The targets it reportedly shared are gigantic: 1 million wafers per month from 2032 onward, with around 700,000 of those going to memory chips and 300,000 to logic. Nikkei's headline puts that at 40 times the output of Japan's Rapidus. The same split first surfaced in a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.jiji.com/jc/article?g=int&amp;k=2026100900783" target="_blank">Jiji Press</a> report last month, which said a single Texas plant would handle both memory and logic, with a pilot fab completed as early as July 2027. Intel is reportedly helping with logic using its 2 nm and 1.4 nm-class technology, while a Taiwanese company has been floated as a technology partner for memory. That could be Nanya, though nothing is confirmed. <br />
<br />
For context, Samsung's entire DRAM output was estimated at 650,000 to 700,000 wafers a month late last year, while SK hynix was at about 550,000 earlier this year and hopes to reach roughly 1 million by 2030 or 2031. It isn't clear whether Terafab's memory figure covers DRAM alone or also includes NAND, so the Samsung comparison is a loose one. Musk has also been careful with his own dates. On an <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/spacex-teslas-terafab-targets-2028-volume-chip-production-musk-says-2026-10-20/" target="_blank">October SpaceX call</a>, he put &quot;big error bars&quot; on reaching volume production by Q3 2028, with a first SRAM test chip planned for mid-2027 at Terafab's Austin research lab.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5nwyOGvBtWEIEbBa.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1742" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/5nwyOGvBtWEIEbBa_thm.jpg" width="236" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/GPGM82JN8jMme8U6.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1440" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/GPGM82JN8jMme8U6_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354610/terafab-wants-to-become-one-of-the-largest-memory-makers-by-2032">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>New PlayStation Portal Player Gets Built-In Storage in Japan and Korea, Purpose Still Unknown</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354607/new-playstation-portal-player-gets-built-in-storage-in-japan-and-korea-purpose-still-unknown</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354607/new-playstation-portal-player-gets-built-in-storage-in-japan-and-korea-purpose-still-unknown#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>7</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Sony is adding built-in storage to a new <a rel="nofollow" href="https://blog.ja.playstation.com/2026/11/09/20261109-playstation-portal-announcement-o/" target="_blank">PlayStation Portal</a> model for Japan and South Korea, though it hasn't said how much storage it has or what it will be used for. The PlayStation Portal Player Midnight Black goes on sale December 10 for ¥39,980 in Japan and ₩378,000 in South Korea, the same price the current model sells for after this year's <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/347817/sony-makes-playstation-5-price-hike-official-ps5-pro-usd-899-99-from-april-2" target="_blank">price hikes</a>. Preorders open November 13, and each unit ships with one month of PlayStation Plus Premium. Like the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353694/sonys-midnight-black-ps5-digital-edition-launches-november-19-exclusive-to-japan" target="_blank">Japan-only Midnight Black PS5</a>, both versions are locked to the local language and only work with PlayStation accounts registered in that country. Sony's Japanese post only says the storage is there for future features, with details to follow once those are decided.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, the Korean post calls it expanded internal storage instead of new storage, which makes sense since the Portal needs some flash just to run its OS. The &quot;Remote&quot; part of the name is also gone, so the device is now simply the PlayStation Portal Player, as it can stream games from the cloud without a PS5 these days. Everything else carries over, including the 8-inch 1080p 60 FPS LCD, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and 3D Audio.

			<title>QNAP Releases 24-Bay Dual-Active Controller ES2486AFdc</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354609/qnap-releases-24-bay-dual-active-controller-es2486afdc</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354609/qnap-releases-24-bay-dual-active-controller-es2486afdc#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>0</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[QNAP Systems, Inc., a leading innovator in storage, networking, and data protection solutions, today launched the ES2486AFdc, a high-availability (HA) NVMe all-flash storage array engineered for mission-critical applications. The ES2486AFdc is QNAP's first enterprise-class storage combining Active-Active dual controllers with a U.2/U.3 NVMe all-flash architecture. Addressing the market challenges of high costs and limited availability caused by a shrinking number of SAS SSD suppliers, it breaks the performance bottlenecks of traditional HA systems limited by SAS interfaces. Utilizing a PCIe Gen 4 architecture, it delivers exceptional low latency and high throughput. Powered by the ZFS-based QES operating system, it ensures zero data loss and serves as the perfect foundation for enterprise virtualization environments, VDI desktop deployments, and core databases, providing outstanding reliability to minimize downtime and prevent business interruptions.<br />
<br />
With the high cost of enterprise-grade SAS SSDs today, the ES2486AFdc's active-active shared storage architecture enables dual controllers to share a single all-flash storage pool. This eliminates the heavy expense of building two separate storage systems, greatly maximizes hardware resource utilization, and significantly reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) for enterprises.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/FEPEyr11PabsDHro.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1511" data-height="936" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/FEPEyr11PabsDHro_thm.jpg" width="210" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/J0EeZNss1B6nXx9h.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1536" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/J0EeZNss1B6nXx9h_thm.jpg" width="208" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/AB5REPVdeMw6lLgE.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1536" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/AB5REPVdeMw6lLgE_thm.jpg" width="208" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354609/qnap-releases-24-bay-dual-active-controller-es2486afdc">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>AMD Confirms Excessive SSD Writes in Radeon Drivers, Fix Coming with Adrenalin 26.11.1</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354605/amd-confirms-excessive-ssd-writes-in-radeon-drivers-fix-coming-with-adrenalin-26-11-1</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354605/amd-confirms-excessive-ssd-writes-in-radeon-drivers-fix-coming-with-adrenalin-26-11-1#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>26</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[AMD has confirmed that the current versions of Radeon drivers, Adrenalin 26.10.1 and Adrenalin 26.10.2, are experiencing an issue that causes excessive SSD writing. This problem results in the SSD writing dozens of gigabytes of data unnecessarily. The culprit appears to be AMD's External Events Client Module, which runs under the name atieclxx.exe on Windows systems. This module is causing some users' system drives to be constantly busy with writes. Reports indicate that the write rate ranges from 0.3 MB/s to 1.5 MB/s, with one Reddit user reporting sustained activity at 5 MB/s. The process is part of AMD's External Events Utility, which manages tasks such as detecting monitors and responding to Radeon software hotkeys. Unfortunately, it has entered an infinite loop of data writing.<br />
<br />
While this may seem like a small amount, it's important to remember that systems can run for extended periods, and the writing can accumulate over time, potentially leading to SSD wear and tear. SSD lifespan largely depends on its ability to endure constant random writes, and forcing random writes onto an SSD will undoubtedly shorten its lifecycle. This is particularly concerning given the high cost of NAND Flash, as users are operating expensive SSDs that could undergo unnecessary wear. In response, AMD plans to release an update to its Adrenalin drivers with version 26.11.1, which will address this issue.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/EQvCRvNTbhqyFfMt.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="675" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/EQvCRvNTbhqyFfMt_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/cAqekjZ7sROuBZeV.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1221" data-height="359" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/cAqekjZ7sROuBZeV_thm.jpg" width="442" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354605/amd-confirms-excessive-ssd-writes-in-radeon-drivers-fix-coming-with-adrenalin-26-11-1">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Microsoft Showcases Modernized Registry Editor as WinUI 3 Sample</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354591/microsoft-showcases-modernized-registry-editor-as-winui-3-sample</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354591/microsoft-showcases-modernized-registry-editor-as-winui-3-sample#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>50</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Microsoft has updated its core component, the Registry Editor, with the latest WinUI framework as a demonstration of what the WinUI 3 framework can offer to existing applications with legacy Win32 components. The Registry Editor, a fundamental Windows application, has remained unchanged across many generations of Windows operating systems, which have relied on it for essential system modifications. According to a report from Windows Latest, Microsoft showcased a modernized version of the Registry Editor built with the WinUI 3 framework as a sample, but it is not intended to replace the current application found in every Windows build.<br />
<br />
Initially, Windows Latest did not explicitly state that the application overhaul was just a sample. This led Microsoft's executive Scott Hanselman to clarify on X that the new build is merely a sample application and is not connected to the team maintaining the current Registry Editor. Previously, communities on X criticized the new design for its sparse menus and unfinished look, prompting a response from Microsoft's staff. It is important to note that while a new version might be in development, the current application is only a demonstration and is not related to the team maintaining the existing application. A future update may address this, but for now, we remain with the older version.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Y7skhRDEfHFBubWD.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Y7skhRDEfHFBubWD_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/SJ5EMkOnyTSodljt.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/SJ5EMkOnyTSodljt_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Iyhi5Ve3aP9xBvkO.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Iyhi5Ve3aP9xBvkO_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354591/microsoft-showcases-modernized-registry-editor-as-winui-3-sample">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

A few days ago, <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/29/us/politics/nvidia-china-jensen-huang-trump.html" target="_blank">The New York Times</a> broke a story that Jensen had engaged in a close relationship with an executive at Megaspeed, named Alice Huang. Megaspeed is believed to be helping evade U.S. export controls on NVIDIA chips for Chinese companies, allowing them to use chips that have been banned by the U.S. Government from shipping to Chinese customers. Its network of sister companies is building data centers in Malaysia to satisfy the compute needs of Chinese customers. The original NYT report notes that China's Ministry of State Security, the Chinese equivalent of the CIA, reportedly recruited Alice Huang to extract information from Jensen Huang.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/wosHAXgfkh9cOEMc.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1536" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/wosHAXgfkh9cOEMc_thm.jpg" width="208" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354594/nvidia-launches-investigation-into-jensen-huangs-relationship-with-suspected-chinese-spy">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>ASRock Rack Shows Early Xeon 7 &quot;Diamond Rapids&quot; Motherboard for Up to 4 TB of DDR5</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354595/asrock-rack-shows-early-xeon-7-diamond-rapids-motherboard-for-up-to-4-tb-of-ddr5</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354595/asrock-rack-shows-early-xeon-7-diamond-rapids-motherboard-for-up-to-4-tb-of-ddr5#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>12</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[ASRock Rack is promising up to 4 TB of DDR5 on a single socket with its DMRD16-2L+, one of the first motherboards built for Intel's upcoming <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/351476/intel-xeon-7-diamond-rapids-to-arrive-with-up-to-256-p-cores" target="_blank">Xeon 7 &quot;Diamond Rapids&quot;</a> processors. The board was shown at the OCP Global Summit 2026 and has since been detailed by <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.servethehome.com/asrock-rack-dmrd16-2l-plus-diamond-rapids-ocp-summit-2026/" target="_blank">ServeTheHome</a>. It has 16 DIMM slots in a one-DIMM-per-channel layout, matching the 16-channel memory setup Intel <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/351893/intel-details-xeon-7-diamond-rapids-package-design-at-hot-chips" target="_blank">detailed at HOT CHIPS</a>. Regular RDIMMs top out at 128 GB per module and 8000 MT/s, while MRDIMMs run at up to 12,800 MT/s, with taller 2U MRDIMMs reaching 256 GB each. Populate all 16 slots with those, and you hit 4 TB, along with a theoretical bandwidth of roughly 1.6 TB/s.<br />
<br />
Expansion is unusual, with no standard PCIe slots and no OCP NIC 3.0 connector. All I/O goes through up to 16 MCIO x8 connectors, each rated for PCIe 6.0 or CXL 3.0, for 128 lanes in total. The rest is fairly basic: one PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot, two Intel I350 Gigabit Ethernet ports, an ASPEED AST2700 BMC with a dedicated management port, and VGA output. ASRock Rack fits it all on a 12 x 13-inch EEB PCB, about the size of a large E-ATX board, so it could squeeze into some bigger workstation cases. Pricing and availability have not been shared yet, but that is hardly surprising, since Intel has the Xeon 7 family <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/350046/intel-details-18a-p-foundry-node-powering-next-gen-xeon-diamond-rapids-processor" target="_blank">slated for a 2027 debut</a> on the new LGA9324 socket. The board is aimed at servers, though anyone planning a high-memory workstation for local AI will probably keep an eye on it.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ZT6D4x4lqBY6z41P.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1200" data-height="800" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ZT6D4x4lqBY6z41P_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/z2ZEFBXaTqkBfigD.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1068" data-height="713" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/z2ZEFBXaTqkBfigD_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Gets a Native PC Port Through Static Recompilation</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354592/zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake-gets-a-native-pc-port-through-static-recompilation</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354592/zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake-gets-a-native-pc-port-through-static-recompilation#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>42</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[A GitHub developer going by tangerineturtle1 has released <a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/tangerineturtle1/NX2navi" target="_blank">NX2navi</a>, a native Windows port of the new Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake built through static recompilation. Rather than emulating Switch 2 hardware, it converts the game into x86-64 code before you play, then draws everything through a custom Vulkan renderer. No game files are included, so players need their own dump of version 1.1.1, and the launcher then builds the game locally, which takes 10 to 25 minutes the first time. RTX owners get DLSS, while FSR 3.1 and its frame generation work on any GPU, and HDR is supported too. Resolution goes beyond 1440p to 5K, frame rate can be uncapped or set as high as 240 FPS (60 FPS is the default), and 21:9 or 32:9 ultrawide screens are supported with the HUD kept at 16:9.<br />
<br />
The remake only launched last week, and it was already <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354510/zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake-runs-on-pc-through-switch-2-emulator-on-launch-day" target="_blank">running through an emulator on launch day</a>, albeit poorly. NX2navi is much further along, but it is still labeled early development. Visual bugs, the occasional crash and brief stutters when entering new areas are listed as known issues. It also needs 16 GB of RAM, about 30 GB of storage and a GPU with Vulkan 1.3 and mesh shader support. An earlier showcase on an RTX 5090 reportedly used 18.6 GB of VRAM, though a newer showcase claims memory use is way down.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Vw5ghI9h42eLBgWd.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2293" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Vw5ghI9h42eLBgWd_thm.jpg" width="311" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/C6hTBDsA6uaIfZav.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2293" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/C6hTBDsA6uaIfZav_thm.jpg" width="311" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/MLerGcRO5kvVGHQa.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="2293" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/MLerGcRO5kvVGHQa_thm.jpg" width="311" height="130" alt="" /></a></div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354592/zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake-gets-a-native-pc-port-through-static-recompilation">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Dead Pixels Creep In Along the Edges of Older WOLED TVs, RTINGS Finds</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354590/dead-pixels-creep-in-along-the-edges-of-older-woled-tvs-rtings-finds</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354590/dead-pixels-creep-in-along-the-edges-of-older-woled-tvs-rtings-finds#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>78</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Fourteen of the 16 WOLED TVs in <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/research/edge-rot-plagues-woled-tvs" target="_blank">RTINGS</a>' 18,000-hour accelerated longevity test developed what the outlet calls &quot;edge rot,&quot; meaning dead pixels and other damage creeping in along the panel edges. All of these sets use LG Display panels and were released between 2020 and 2023, and the test works out to roughly ten years of typical U.S. viewing. Older WBC panels fared worst, with nine of ten affected and five rated severe, while five of six newer WBE panels also showed it. Only the LG A2 and LG G3 came out clean. Meanwhile, the three QD-OLED TVs in the test, Samsung's S95B and S95C and Sony's A95K, didn't have a single dead pixel. However, RTINGS says three units are too few to call QD-OLED immune.<br />
<br />
Unlike burn-in, edge rot doesn't depend on what you watch, so the usual advice of mixing up content won't help. RTINGS suspects contamination during manufacturing or flaws in the encapsulation layer that keeps moisture out, though confirming that would need proper failure analysis. Two staffers also found it on their own LG GX and C1 at home. In a statement to RTINGS, LG said the issue may appear in a very small number of products under prolonged heat, humidity or other harsh conditions, and isn't expected in normal use, which is interesting given that LG Display <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/305405/lg-display-claims-samsungs-qd-oled-more-susceptible-to-screen-burn-than-lgs-woled" target="_blank">once argued QD-OLED was more prone to burn-in</a>. RTINGS now rates WOLEDs slightly lower for expected reliability, including newer models as a precaution, though it still considers OLEDs more durable than LCDs. Its next planned test includes 2025 and 2026 models, some with LG's RGB Tandem panels, which should show if it's been fixed.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/11uejJ9GmQikg1vD.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1000" data-height="563" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/11uejJ9GmQikg1vD_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/PDTck52lQAArpjyF.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1779" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/PDTck52lQAArpjyF_thm.jpg" width="241" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/QKbxsMXWubgIJeFV.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="3429" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/QKbxsMXWubgIJeFV_thm.jpg" width="464" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Call of Duty: Warzone Arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 as PS4 and Xbox One Support Ends</title>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354587/call-of-duty-warzone-arrives-on-nintendo-switch-2-as-ps4-and-xbox-one-support-ends#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>1</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Nintendo Switch 2 owners can now play Call of Duty: Warzone for free, without buying Modern Warfare 4. The battle royale arrived on the eShop with the start of Season 1 on November 6, which also fully folds Modern Warfare 4 into Warzone. According to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.callofduty.com/blog/2026/11/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-warzone-season-1" target="_blank">Activision</a>, the Switch 2 version gets the same features and seasonal content as every other platform, including the new Hajin battle royale map set in South Korea, the Zodiac Resurgence map, and all other playlists. Progress is tied to your Activision account. At the same time, Warzone has stopped running on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, though players on those consoles can carry their progress over to any supported platform by logging in with the same account.<br />
<br />
This comes about two weeks after Modern Warfare 4 launched on October 23 as the first Call of Duty on a Nintendo console since Ghosts on the Wii U back in 2013, something that was <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/344387/call-of-duty-coming-to-nintendo-switch-2-in-a-few-months" target="_blank">first rumored late last year</a>. Infinity Ward built that port natively for Switch 2 with help from Digital Legends, and the game has generally <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353835/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-gets-a-warm-steam-welcome-with-90-positive-reviews" target="_blank">been well received</a>, at least on PC. However, Activision hasn't shared resolution or frame rate targets for Warzone on Switch 2. Modern Warfare 4's multiplayer reportedly aims for 60 FPS when docked, with a fairly low base resolution and upscaling, but Warzone's large maps and player counts will probably be tougher to run. Readers planning to play on Switch 2 may want to wait for proper performance tests before making it their main platform.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/4TYbrjUZxZylHVMr.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/4TYbrjUZxZylHVMr_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/rA2W9o5zZlolBAFg.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/rA2W9o5zZlolBAFg_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/EHZcGUQ7xhCE8nC1.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/EHZcGUQ7xhCE8nC1_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Microsoft Patent Application Describes AI That Edits Live Speech</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354585/microsoft-patent-application-describes-ai-that-edits-live-speech</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354585/microsoft-patent-application-describes-ai-that-edits-live-speech#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>19</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Microsoft has filed a patent application for an AI system that can change what someone says in a live video and redraw their lips to match. The filing, US 2026/0341309 A1, was submitted in April 2025, published on October 29, 2026, and first spotted by patent tracker <a rel="nofollow" href="https://patentlyze.com/patent/microsoft-live-ai-video-rewrites-speech/" target="_blank">Patentlyze</a>. In short, an AI agent scans the live audio and picks words to swap or remove based on rules and a viewer's profile, such as their age, languages, or location. A generative model then replaces those words in both the audio and video, reworks the frames around each edit and plays the result with a delay of roughly one to ten seconds. It could run locally on AR glasses, phones, tablets or cameras.<br />
<br />
A separate claim covers live translation with matching lip movements, which is easily the most practical use. However, the filing also lists filler words, stutters, mispronounced or offensive words, and colloquial terms like &quot;y'all&quot; or &quot;bite the bullet&quot; as things to replace, and the new words can even come from an internet search. It mentions lectures, award shows, game shows, and live sports as examples. The original feed may be stored as &quot;ground truth,&quot; but the main claim says nothing about telling viewers what was changed. Of course, Microsoft <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/352914/microsoft-patent-shows-ad-breaks-during-loading-screens-and-after-boss-fights" target="_blank">files plenty of patents</a> that never become products, and the examiner has already rejected the claims as filed, which is routine at this stage. Sony has been busy with AI patents as well, ranging from <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353851/playstation-6-could-get-sonys-own-frame-generation-technology-patent-suggests" target="_blank">frame generation</a> to an AI that can <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/346682/sony-soft-pause-patent-may-let-ai-play-for-distracted-players" target="_blank">play for distracted players</a>.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/zH2dqvLb05frSSPM.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1355" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/zH2dqvLb05frSSPM_thm.jpg" width="183" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Sob2iruNJdXgarbU.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="705" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Sob2iruNJdXgarbU_thm.jpg" width="95" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/0GU0DI4FpP4JNFrk.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="712" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/0GU0DI4FpP4JNFrk_thm.jpg" width="96" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>WoW: Forever Sets a New Franchise Record for Peak Concurrent Players</title>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354583/wow-forever-sets-a-new-franchise-record-for-peak-concurrent-players#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>33</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[World of Warcraft: Forever is now the biggest launch in WoW history by peak concurrent players, according to Blizzard. The <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/Warcraft/status/2118893768984162668" target="_blank">official Warcraft account</a> also says the game brought back the highest number of returning players the franchise has ever seen. Forever went live on November 4 for Windows and macOS, and it is included with a regular WoW subscription. Blizzard didn't share any actual numbers, so it's hard to say how big the lead is. Going by the claim, Forever beat every expansion launch, including Wrath of the Lich King, as well as WoW Classic in 2019. However, Blizzard never published peak concurrent figures for those launches either, so a direct comparison isn't possible.<br />
<br />
The launch itself went far more smoothly than the beta, which had its population caps raised several times. Forever runs on large megaservers that span multiple regions instead of dozens of smaller realms, and many players reported short login queues or none at all. Blizzard's Holly Longdale <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/TheWindstalker/status/2118894053094035457" target="_blank">summed it up on X</a> as &quot;so far so goodish.&quot; Developer Josh Greenfield admitted to a few problems, mainly with the boat and zeppelin service, and Blizzard added temporary portals while it prepares a proper fix. On Twitch, the WoW category reportedly peaked at around 1.12 million viewers during launch, per Streams Charts. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella had already called the Forever beta the largest in franchise history, and it looks like the launch has kept that momentum going.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/cDfzjONVgwYy1Nob.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1536" data-height="864" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/cDfzjONVgwYy1Nob_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/uEcIyAEd7TjT4qU1.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="720" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/uEcIyAEd7TjT4qU1_thm.jpg" width="98" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Maxsun Readies Panther Lake and Wildcat Lake MoDT NAS Motherboards for November</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354582/maxsun-readies-panther-lake-and-wildcat-lake-modt-nas-motherboards-for-november</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354582/maxsun-readies-panther-lake-and-wildcat-lake-modt-nas-motherboards-for-november#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>5</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Maxsun has shared full specifications for the SK-PTLNAS and SK-WCLAIO, two NAS-focused MoDT (Mobile on Desktop) motherboards built around Intel's <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel-panther-lake-technical-deep-dive/" target="_blank">Panther Lake</a> and <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/348285/intel-wildcat-lake-is-official-up-to-6-cpu-cores-and-2-xe3-cores" target="_blank">Wildcat Lake</a> chips. Both were first shown at Computex 2026 and are expected to launch this month, though pricing is still unknown. The SK-PTLNAS now tops out at the Core Ultra 9 386H, a 16-core chip with four Xe3 GPU cores, a 25 W base power and up to 80 W of turbo power. The Computex listing mentioned options up to the Core Ultra X9 388H, which no longer seems to be on the table. It supports up to 128 GB of DDR5-7200 memory across two SO-DIMM slots, with five M.2 slots and three Mini SAS ports for storage. The board also gets a PCIe 5.0 x8 slot, 10GbE, 2.5GbE and two 1GbE ports, plus two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Maxsun lists Windows 11 and Ubuntu support.<br />
<br />
The SK-WCLAIO measures just 90 x 165 mm, a big change from the mATX design shown in June. It runs the six-core Core 7 350 (2P + 4LPE) with two Xe3 cores, a single DDR5-6400 SO-DIMM slot for up to 48 GB, 1 TB of onboard UFS 3.1 storage and four M.2 slots. Wildcat Lake has very few PCIe lanes, so those drives probably won't each get full x4 bandwidth. Maxsun rates the system at 45 W when active and 16 W with drives on standby, which should suit an always-on home NAS. The power input is a bit unclear for now, since the listing mentions both a 12 V DC jack and USB-C PD.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ShNS0ztkRKJmHjoR.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1066" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ShNS0ztkRKJmHjoR_thm.jpg" width="144" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/YpinfTX3aOLzjqod.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1589" data-height="921" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/YpinfTX3aOLzjqod_thm.jpg" width="224" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>This Week in Gaming (Week 46)</title>

			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354580/this-week-in-gaming-week-46#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>6</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[Welcome to the second week of November, which we could call the calm before the storm, but it doesn't mean this is a bad week for new releases. This week's major release takes us fishing in a Lovecraftian inspired world with all that it entails. When it comes to this week's other games we once again have a lot of releases on a single day of this week, but we start off with a psychological horror survival game, followed by some sports management and a pixel graphics Warhammer game. We round off the week with a game that was more popular as a benchmark than a game and a space factory builder. Don't forget to check out this week's other releases as well.<br />
<br />
<a rel="nofollow" href="https://dream-dock.com/" target="_blank"><b>Dreadmoor</b></a> / This week's major release / Early access / Monday 9 November<br />
Take the helm of a fishing trawler and explore a world flooded by a catastrophic human mistake. Coastal regions have sunk beneath the water, and much of the remaining land has been submerged underwater. Travel between scattered settlements, catch fish to trade, upgrade your vessel, and craft essential equipment. Face mutated creatures across sea and land and move carefully through a divided world where resources are scarce, and trust is fragile. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3629430/DREADMOOR/" target="_blank"><b>Steam link</b></a><div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/Ws6JA5sQ959HRT6Z.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1920" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/Ws6JA5sQ959HRT6Z_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/uMa0Jz1TiYX5Tnsf.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1920" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/uMa0Jz1TiYX5Tnsf_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/V9xkIE5p20u685Up.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1920" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/V9xkIE5p20u685Up_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/O0AKGQzFZ55oNeKe.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1920" data-height="1080" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/O0AKGQzFZ55oNeKe_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> </div><div class="readmore"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354580/this-week-in-gaming-week-46">Read full story</a></div>]]></description>

			<title>Epic Games Names SteamOS Among Planned Linux Targets for Its New Launcher</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354575/epic-games-names-steamos-among-planned-linux-targets-for-its-new-launcher</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354575/epic-games-names-steamos-among-planned-linux-targets-for-its-new-launcher#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>14</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[SteamOS is now officially on the list of Linux distributions Epic Games plans to support with its new Epic Games Launcher. In a statement to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/11/epic-games-comments-on-planned-linux-distribution-support/" target="_blank">GamingOnLinux</a>, Epic communications director Jake Jones said the launcher is still in Preview, and that Epic plans to &quot;support as many Linux distributions as possible, including Fedora, SteamOS, Cachy, Omarchy, and more.&quot; It seems to be the first time Epic has explicitly named SteamOS, which runs on the Steam Deck and Steam Machine. For now, the Preview only ships as a.deb package for Debian and Ubuntu, though Epic says it is testing other packaging formats and will bring back the AppImage version this month. Epic first said a <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/351601/epic-games-launcher-coming-soon-to-linux" target="_blank">native Linux launcher was coming</a> back in August, and the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353725/new-vibe-coded-epic-games-launcher-claimed-to-launch-46-faster-than-steam" target="_blank">Preview arrived on October 14</a>. <br />
<br />
For Steam Deck owners, official support could mean an easier way into their Epic libraries without third-party tools like the Heroic Games Launcher. However, Epic hasn't said how the launcher will work in SteamOS's Game Mode, and Windows games will still need a compatibility layer. In the current Preview, the launcher handles that by downloading GE-Proton. As for Fortnite, Epic plans to bring it to Linux through the new launcher once <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353720/fortnite-is-coming-to-linux-confirms-epic-games" target="_blank">EAC Linux v2</a> is ready, but the new anti-cheat relies on a signed kernel, Secure Boot, and several other security features. Back in October, Epic said the Steam Deck doesn't currently support what EAC v2 needs, and that it is talking with Valve about it. It looks like Steam Deck owners will get the launcher well before they get Fortnite.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/5B66ndNtAQ3U9FCj.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1707" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/5B66ndNtAQ3U9FCj_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/yrJbcp898xSZcKBy.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1600" data-height="900" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/yrJbcp898xSZcKBy_thm.jpg" width="231" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>

			<title>CPU-Z Data Shows 16 GB RAM Gaining Ground While 32 GB and 64 GB RAM Shares Shrink</title>
			<link>https://www.techpowerup.com/354574/cpu-z-data-shows-16-gb-ram-gaining-ground-while-32-gb-and-64-gb-ram-shares-shrink</link>
			<comments>https://www.techpowerup.com/354574/cpu-z-data-shows-16-gb-ram-gaining-ground-while-32-gb-and-64-gb-ram-shares-shrink#comments</comments>			<slash:comments>36</slash:comments>			<description><![CDATA[PCs with 32 GB and 64 GB of RAM are becoming less common, at least in the latest <a rel="nofollow" href="https://valid.cpuid.com/statistics/" target="_blank">CPU-Z Validator</a> statistics. According to <a rel="nofollow" href="https://x.com/d0cTB/status/2118776662292906051" target="_blank">Doc TB</a>, one of the developers behind CPU-Z, this is the first time RAM capacity on PCs has declined year over year. 32 GB is still the most popular configuration at 37.2% of validations, though its share is down 2.5% compared to a year ago. 64 GB took a much bigger hit, falling 18% to 7.3%. Lower capacities are moving the other way, with 16 GB up 12.9% to 33.0% and 8 GB up 5.5% to 11.0%, while 96 GB and 128 GB setups dropped by more than 26% each. Memory type tells a similar story, with DDR4 now making up 54.5% of validations, up 6.0%, while DDR5 slipped 2.9% to 32.9%. <br />
<br />
Of course, these figures only cover systems that users actually submit to the validator over the last three months, so they aren't a full picture of the PC market. Steam's September survey, for example, showed <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353334/steam-hardware-survey-32-gb-overtakes-16-gb-as-the-most-common-system-ram-configuration" target="_blank">32 GB overtaking 16 GB</a> as the most common configuration among gamers, but that promptly flipped with the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354406/steam-hardware-survey-old-leaders-return-as-16-gb-ram-and-rtx-3060-are-back-on-top" target="_blank">October survey</a>. Still, the timing makes sense. Memory prices have climbed sharply this year, and Team Group expects the <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/354432/the-worst-is-yet-to-come-for-memory-shortages-warns-team-group" target="_blank">worst of the shortage</a> to land between Q4 2026 and Q2 2027. DDR4 platforms may also get a second wind, with DDR4 motherboards getting released for <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/353552/gigabyte-bios-update-points-to-new-ddr4-intel-processors-coming-next-year" target="_blank">unannounced LGA1700 processors</a> expected in early 2027. It looks like plenty of people are sticking with older DDR4 systems or settling for 16 GB instead of paying current prices.<div class="imgcontainer"><a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/CvmyfUBRZ2vIAoSL.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1439" data-height="960" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/CvmyfUBRZ2vIAoSL_thm.jpg" width="195" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/ld9Hs0RyyKcZ35gC.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1159" data-height="487" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/ld9Hs0RyyKcZ35gC_thm.jpg" width="309" height="130" alt="" /></a> <a href="https://www.techpowerup.com/img/lSv7CNyG5JzPD1vL.jpg" target="_blank" data-width="1159" data-height="754" ><img src="https://tpucdn.com/img/lSv7CNyG5JzPD1vL_thm.jpg" width="200" height="130" alt="" /></a></div>]]></description>
