Arm is bringing Android its own version of DLSS – game with Unreal MegaLights will show it off

Arm has announced that advanced rendering features like ray tracing, Unreal MegaLights, and neural supersampling will soon be available on new Android mobile devices. A tech demo called Neural Dawn by Sumo Digital showcases ray tracing at playable framerates with AI-based upscaling, exclusive to devices equipped with an upcoming successor to Arm's Mali G1 GPU. This will be the first mobile game to support Unreal Engine 5's MegaLights, previously exclusive to high-end console and PC games.

Minecraft Horror Mods That Turn Simple Nights Into Nightmares

In Minecraft, horror mods enhance the gameplay experience by introducing unsettling elements that create tension and fear. Notable horror mods include: - Cave Dweller: Features a creature that breathes heavily as it approaches, causing dread. - The Man From The Fog: A figure that silently observes players, creating suspense. - Weeping Angels: Statues that move only when players are not looking, increasing stress. - Creepypasta Mod: Incorporates characters from Minecraft creepypasta tales, offering unpredictable encounters. - Silent Hill Fog Mod: Reduces visibility with dense fog, enhancing atmospheric horror. These mods are primarily compatible with Forge, and players should check compatibility before installation. Combining multiple horror mods may lead to performance issues. Playing with friends can amplify the experience, but all participants must have the same mods installed. Players should be aware of their comfort levels, as some mods can induce jump scares or prolonged psychological tension.

Microsoft is killing the Copilot+ PC advantage, brings Windows 11’s local AI to RTX 30+ PCs with 6GB vRAM

Microsoft has made its local Language Model APIs for Windows 11 accessible on non-Copilot+ PCs, requiring an NVIDIA RTX 30 series GPU with at least 6GB of VRAM. Copilot+ PCs, which debuted on June 18, 2024, require 16GB of RAM, an SSD, and a minimum of 40 TOPS NPU. The new APIs allow broader access to AI functionalities, including AI-powered text formatting, summarization, text rewriting, text-to-table conversion, and general prompt generation, through a compact language model called "Phi Silica." Users with compatible NVIDIA GPUs can utilize these features locally, enhancing privacy compared to cloud-based models. However, some features remain exclusive to devices with NPU chips.
