Our dear friends at PCGamesHardware had the chance to interview Starbreeze and found out some juicy tech details about the upcoming Syndicate game. According to the company, Syndicate uses an advanced and evolved in-house engine, that comes with a global illumination solution and an optimized postprocessing pipeline. Sadly though, Syndicate won’t support the DX10 or DX11 API’s. And there is no need to point your gun to Starbreeze, as this is what we’ve expected. Syndicate is a multi-platform game (therefore it’s built on DX9 by default) and as we’ve said in the past, a proper DX11 game needs to be built from the get-go with that API in mind. Continue reading PC version of Syndicate won’t support DX10/11; multi-core CPUs will be better supported→

Remember a while ago when we informed you about the frame limiter that was hidden in Nvidia’s ForceWare drivers? Well, good news for everyone as the latest versions of both EVGA Precision and MSI Afterburner come with a new, Frame Limiter option. What is really interesting here though, is that the algorithm for this limiter is entirely different from the one found on the latest Nvidia drivers. This basically means that the Frame Limiter works with more games, with any NVIDIA driver version and any hardware (both AMD and NVIDIA). Yeap, that’s right AMD fans, you can use the frame limiter. Rejoice. Oh, and no more stuttering for our Nvidia friends! Continue reading Look and behold; new versions of EVGA Precision and MSI Afterburner come with a Frame Limiter→
