BIWIN has launched what it calls DW100 DDR5 memory kit, featuring two sticks of 24 GB DDR5 memory modules, clocked at 6000 MT/s at just CL28. The memory kit features AMD EXPO ULL certification for tighter secondary timings such as tREFI, tRRDS, and tWRWRSCL. AMD has previously claimed up to 4% higher average FPS with EXPO ULL-certified DDR5 memory kits compared to the standard EXPO-certified memory. As per BIWIN's own testing with this kit in a setup comprising AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and GeForce RTX 5070, the new DW100 48 GB DDR5-6000 CL28 kit delivers up to 10% higher 1% lows vs standard EXPO memory kits. According to CS2 benchmarking, the game saw an 8% increase in average FPS with the new kit and up to 11.91% increase in 1% low FPS. Moreover, Blackmyth Wukong, reportedly got a staggering 18.18% increase in minimum FPS.

If you've kept up with our coverage lately, you already know that we've been following the progress of Speclizer's multiplayer mod for The Last of Us Part II. The mod was supposed to be released publicly later this month, but a few hours ago, Speclizer revealed it will not be released at all, the reason being the obvious one: Sony dropped the hammer. Here's the message shared by the modder: "Hey everyone, as many of you know, the TLOU 2 Multiplayer mod that has been in development since January was supposed to release to the public this month. Unfortunately, I recently received a letter on behalf of Sony Interactive Entertainment requesting for the mod not to be released. Extremely sad that this never got to see the light of day, but I hope you'll continue to follow me onto the next project, this time something of my own. Thank you all for the incredible amount of support over the last year. I hope to bring you something bigger and better soon!"

Blizzard’s upcoming StarCraft shooter will reportedly avoid the live-service model in favor of a traditional, narrative-driven experience. Director Dan Hay describes it as an open-world game with main missions, side quests, character progression, and a definitive ending. Players can freely explore, gather gear, and tackle missions at their own pace, with the game drawing some inspiration from Hay’s work on Far Cry.

Suyu 0.0.4, the final public release of the Nintendo Switch emulator, introduces a new Recompiler mode that significantly improves emulation performance, particularly on mid-range PCs. The feature converts Switch ARM64 game code into native x86-64 code ahead of time, reducing CPU overhead and shader-related stutters. While games still rely on translation layers and aren't truly running natively, titles such as Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom could benefit substantially.

Czech veteran developer Daniel Vávra, known for his work on the Mafia and Kingdom Come: Deliverance franchises, has never shied away from controversy. Vávra has been an outspoken supporter of NVIDIA's DLSS 5 Neural Rendering technology. After previously praising its impact on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 following the leaked DLSS 5 .dll, he has returned to the subject with a comparison of Katherine, an NPC from the game, alongside real-life actress Kristýna Leichtová. Vávra argues that DLSS 5 produces a visual rendition closer to the actress because its improved lighting brings out facial details that are otherwise lost due to the limitations of real-time rendering.

A new community-made fix, FF13NovaFix, significantly improves the PC versions of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIII trilogy after years of unresolved issues. The fix adds proper support for high refresh rates, VSync, triple buffering and frame limits while addressing high-FPS problems, UI issues, controller features and other technical limitations across all three games.

A Reddit user reportedly found a large hole in the 16-pin power connector of their RTX 5090 after playing the 11-year-old indie game Crypt of the NecroDancer on Ultra settings. After nearly an hour, they noticed a burning smell and discovered that part of the connector had melted, joining two ports together.

AMD’s new $99 Ryzen 5 5500F has shown noticeable gaming gains over the Ryzen 5 5500 in early benchmarks. Testing shows the Zen 3 chip delivering 3-15% higher performance depending on the game, with particularly strong gains in Battlefield 6. However, its 16 MB L3 cache limits its potential, keeping it closer to the Ryzen 5 5500 than the Ryzen 5 5600.

A stage has seemingly been reached where games can be developed using local AI models that don’t require an internet connection or consume any tokens. According to one individual’s claim, Qwen3.8-27B was used to create a first-person zombie shooter in around five hours. While it doesn’t come close to the breathtaking visuals of AAA titles, it is still an excellent example of how far AI-powered game development has evolved.

NVIDIA has introduced the RTX PRO 5500 Blackwell Workstation Edition with 21,760 CUDA cores, matching the GeForce RTX 5090, but featuring 84 GB of GDDR7 memory. The workstation GPU also offers up to 1.398 TB/s bandwidth, 600W TDP, and air- or liquid-cooled configurations, targeting AI, simulation, and professional graphics workloads.
