PC gamers could soon have a new tool in their arsenal that could eliminate the need to tweak graphics settings. NVIDIA is testing out a product called GeForce Experience that’s designed to automate all of your settings and resolution while playing a video game. The tool is a cloud-based service that will analyze the hardware you’re playing on and make adjustments accordingly, from anti-aliasing to shadow options, for the best gaming experience on any given machine.

The company has said that GeForce Experience will require minimal technical expertise for the gamers who use it, claiming that the goal of the tool is to offer as simple an experience as possible. After retrieving optimal settings from the cloud, GeForce Experience applies the changes and saves them directly to your game’s config file. It will also automatically deliver driver updates.

While the ability to tinker and perfect graphics settings is a point of pride for many PC gamers, the more casual players will probably find this tool a huge help once it goes public. Getting your graphics exactly right can involve a lot of guesswork, but playing under less than ideal conditions can really hinder the enjoyment of a game. NVIDIA certainly has the cred to make GeForce Experience a powerful and useful tool; after all, its graphics cards are often contenders for gamers looking to upgrade their computer performance.

When it comes time to put together your custom PC gaming rig, you’re going to want a few core components for your machine. A solid CPU is a great place to start, as is a great mouse and keyboard setup, but a powerful GPU is probably the most important part of the equation. Your PC’s graphics card handles all your visuals, and can make a big difference in how good your gameplay looks and feels. Fortunately, as part of Amazon’s Prime Day sales event, you’ll be able to a fantastic deal on one of our favorite NVIDIA GPUs: the GeForce RTX 4070 Super GPU. At full price, the graphics card goes for $650 but it can be yours for just $590!

Why you should buy the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070
Steering the ship on this powerful GPU is NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace architecture. Engineered for amazing clock speeds, you can expect up to 1,980MHz on average and max speeds of 2,502MHz. Whether you plan on playing some Fortnite or a demanding MMORPG, the RTX 4070 is guaranteed to deliver the frame by frame performance you need for crisp-clear visuals. We’re also glad to see that NVIDIA built using the PCI Express 4.0 interface, which makes the GPU compatible with many different PCs.

Details on the upcoming AMD and Nvidia GPUs just got leaked

The RX 7900 XTX.

Seasonic, a prominent PSU manufacturer, has reportedly revealed several upcoming GPUs from AMD's Radeon RX 7000 series and Nvidia's RTX 5000 series on its website. Seasonic listed the unreleased GPUs on its Wattage Calculator webpage, mentioning at least four new AMD and five new Nvidia models, although they seem to be removed at the time of writing this article.

As per a report, Seasonic’s website referenced high-end models of AMD's forthcoming Radeon RX 7000 series, including the RX 7990 XTX, RX 7950 XTX, and RX 7950 XT. This is the first time these specific models have been spotted anywhere online, adding to the anticipation surrounding AMD's next-gen GPUs. However, it's worth noting that this isn't the first time AMD has introduced a high-end refresh. Previously, it launched the "XX50" models as part of the RDNA 2 refresh, which included the 6950 XT, 6750 XT, and 6650 XT.

AMD just revealed a game-changing feature for your graphics card

AMD is set to reveal a research paper about its technique for neural texture block compression at the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering (EGSR) next week. It sounds like some technobabble, but the idea behind neural compression is pretty simple. AMD says it's using a neural network to compress the massive textures in games, which cuts down on both the download size of a game and its demands on your graphics card.

We've heard about similar tech before. Nvidia introduced a paper on Neural Texture Compression last year, and Intel followed up with a paper of its own that proposed an AI-driven level of detail (LoD) technique that could make models look more realistic from farther away. Nvidia's claims about Neural Texture Compression are particularly impressive, with the paper asserting that the technique can store 16 times the data in the same amount of space as traditional block-based compression.
