In over 15 years of tech journalism, I’ve never issued a correction quite like this! Asus and LG Display originally said HD 720p, then corrected to 1080p when we explicitly did a fact check, then corrected again to 720p.
But it does 1440p at 540Hz, too, and that seems more than good enough for me!
Blizzard released the new cinematic for World of Warcraft: Midnight, the MMORPG’s eleventh expansion and the second in its World Soul expansion trilogy. In the trailer, the blood elves are besieged by Xal’atath, the villain who’s been kicking around since The War Within. Twenty years on and still nobody can make cinematics like Blizzard does.
This four-fan GPU is the “ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 5090 — ASUS Graphics Cards 30th Anniversary Edition.” Reminds me a bit of the motorcycle from Akira with its red design and wheel. Asus says it’s inspired by the 2008 ROG Matrix 9800 GT. You can’t buy this one; you have to win it.
Nvidia didn’t provide specific model names, but it’ll be a native app for monitors and TV with 5K120 and 4K120 HDR streaming. “No Android TV devices, no Chromecast, nothing, run it directly on the television,” says Nvidia product marketing director Andrew Fear. More on GeForce Now’s big upgrade:
I thought it breathed new life into the Steam Deck even in my 60Hz tests — but next month, Nvidia’s adding its promised new mode that matches the Steam Deck OLED’s 90Hz refresh rate, too. Also, you’ll be able to stream some games with the power of an RTX 5080.
Nvidia is returning to Gamescom this week and it’s holding a “community update” stream today that promises new GeForce features, some “major GeForce Now news,” and the chance to see some “highly anticipated PC games.” No new hardware will be announced, though. Nvidia’s stream kicks off at at 12PM PT / 3PM ET on YouTube and Twitch.
FMVs take an ordinary horror game to frighteningly real-feeling heights.
