Resident Evil: Village PSVR2 Technical review | PS5, PSVR2, PSVR

NX Gamer 2023-04-24 | Back with the release of RE7 Capcom, supported by Sony, demonstrated the flexibility of their REengine with a further string to its Bo, VR.

Aisurix RX580 8GB: Hardware Review | Better value & performance than the Xbox Series S?

NX Gamer 2023-04-01 | The GPU was supplied by Aisurx for review and you can check out this and their full range on Amazon and the website links below:-

Website: www.aisurix.com
Product link: amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BS6LJMWY

The PC GPU market is often like a game of chess, new pieces and players come in and the choices made, both from manufacturer and consumer are tactical. The RX580, a fourth Generation Polaris model derived from the GCN architecture, is similar to what powers the PS4Pro and Xbox One X. Here we have a large 8GB model and pitted against the newer, yet weaker Xbox Series S, I test it in full overclocked mode in a selection of modern 1080, 1440 and even 4K titles including brand new titles in The Last of us Part1. With the aim to test the value and power it offers, is this Check & Mate for the Series S?

Resident Evil 4: Demo Technical Review - PS4, PRO, Xbox Series S

NX Gamer 2023-03-14 | We are back into a bloodbath of new Capcom and Resident Evil releases. Fresh off the back of the PSVR2 update, RE4 gets the remake treatment. Thanks to an early demo ahead of release, I can dive into what this cross gen release offers. With dual modes on PRO and Xbox Series S and a single mode on PS4, just what does this mean for image quality, effects and performance. The Xbox One and X1X are not part of the package, here I look at what has been cut for last gen, how much better is the Series S and what is causing those Image Quality issues across all versions?

The Witcher 3: Next Gen Update Hotfix2x PC, PS5, Series X|S, Last Gen Technical Review

NX Gamer 2023-01-01 | With my final video for 2022, I took a closing look at the latest patches for the Witcher 3. After the initial update for the Witcher 3 Next Gen having some issues on PC & Console. Some hotfixes were released for the Red Engine 3 monster hit, with Hotfix2x tested. Here I cover AMD cards compared to Nvidia, what is the main cause for poor performance on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Compare the old PC version in 1.32 with the removal of HBAO+ and more that is not all positive. Comparisons to console, last gen and more in this in-depth Technical review.

Chapters
0:00 What the video covers and preface
0:23 AMD vs Nvidia performance tested Ray Tracing and Non Ray Tracing
1:54 Main cause of poor utilisation/performance even with Hotfix 4.02, DX11 vs DX12 performance
5:00 Optimised settings on PC and comparisons
10:42 Comparison of V1.32 vs V4.0, HBAO+, SSAO, LoD & more
17:18 Issues & Bugs, Series X LoD bug, Foliage & more
19:55 Console roundup & Final Verdict

Optimised Settings
The settings covered in the video relate to when you are CPU bound, if you see no benefit from these updates then you are likely fully GPU bound. Lower GPU resolution to gain back performance and then retest. Using these on any GPU only requires you to adjust Resolution/FSR/DLSS as needed and leave all other options as is in the menu. Once happy cap your FPS to 30/60 if you can or 40fps if you have a 120Hz screen and a 5600X equal or greater CPU. Using my RTX2070 when not fully GPU bound at 1620p DLSS Perf I gained 15% performance improvement with the same run in this video and 50% on the lows.
Shown here in my Twitter post:- twitter.com/N_X_G/status/1609502441472675840
Optimised settings HERE:- https://we.tl/t-WS02XChmB7
Download and rename your current user settings file to OLD and place this one and remove the 'optimised' section of the name (dx12user.settings) and boot up the game, hope it helps.

Mortal Kombat - A Killer Legacy: 30 years not dead yet - Part 1

NX Gamer 2022-11-05 | Few games create such an instant and long-lasting legacy as Mortal Kombat. But the influences and pop culture that it was built from reach far wider than you may think. From the 70s rebirth of martial arts, 80s action heroes, violence and censorship all became key to the impetus of the long lasting fighter. It managed to define the early 90s so well, it was impossible it could have been made in any other decade.

I cover all this and more in my latest retro episode that is far more a documentary than before, are you ready for Mortal Kombat?

Sega Dreamcast vs Neon 250: Arcade power in your home - Part 2 | Living in the Past

NX Gamer 2022-07-23 | My second episode in a series I have been working on for a while, an early taste of going back to the heyday of 3D and PC gaming blooming into what we still know and enjoy today. The PowerVR2 took hold in the Dreamcast but it was only One player from the PC space vying for console relevancy. The Neon 250 is the direct compatriot of the Dreamcast in the PC 3D accelerator market. How good was it? How did it work? What made it so forward looking? Did it compete with the PC's best? And just how do the consoles and PC stack up to each other?

This is Part 2 of a huge Retrospective and one that covers a great deal of the birth and gestation of modern 3D gaming in the console, arcade and PC space. In this episode we cover the unique and tailored benefits the Dreamcast offered, how forward thinking it really was. What could have happened if the Neon250 launched as planned with the Dreamcast in 1998 and we test more games to see if the Dreamcast can close the gap against the best of the PC market at the time.

Elgato HD60 X - 4K/60 VRR Capture Card Pioneer - Technical review

NX Gamer 2022-04-05 | Games capture is a complex process, now with 4K, HDR and VRR all in the mix it can become a minefield. Elgato have extended their capture card range with an Industry first, a fully capable Variable Rate Refresh card for Console and PC. This is a game changer, quite literally at points, and thanks to early access I have the entire low (and High) down on just what this offers for modern gaming. Is this the complete capture card for all sources?

Neon 250 vs Dreamcast - 90s PC Gaming - Preview

NX Gamer 2022-02-04 | This is the start of a series I have been working on for a while, an early taste of going back to the heyday of 3D and PC gaming. PowerVR took hold in the Dreamcast but it was only 1 player from the PC space vying for console relevancy. The Neon 250 is the direct compatriot of the Dreamcast in the PC 3D accelerator market. How good was it? How did it work? What made it so forward looking and which was better?
