DLSS 5 leaked and modders are putting Nvidia’s AI effects on everything

The unofficial version of DLSS 5 makes Jesse Faden’s features much more pronounced. | Image: gabdeg via YouTube Modders are trying out an unofficial version of Nvidia's DLSS 5 on Skyrim , Cyberpunk 2077 , GTA V , and a bunch of other games after code for the AI upscaling tech appeared in an early-access build of NBA 2K27 . Members of the RenoDX modding channel on Discord reportedly found a way to extract the DLSS "Neural Rendering" file and apply it to Control before it expanded to other games, as reported earlier by Notebook Check and VideoCardz . In one video , a person shows how Control protagonist Jesse Faden's facial features become more and less defined as they tweak various DLSS 5 settings enabled by the RenoDX modders. With the "Neural Uplift" sett … Read the full story at The Verge. from The Verge https://ift.tt/LNUPkl1

The iPhone Fold could make concerts even worse

You know the person blocking your view of the concert because their phone is swaying in the air, recording the entire thing? Get ready for the unfolded version of it. This week on The Vergecast , we dive right into the big week of Apple news. First, it's the refreshed Mac Mini and Mac Studio, as well as the new M6 and M5 Ultra chips. Apple is advertising them all as achievements in AI inference, but we're skeptical this is more than a marketing ploy for now. Then we get into the newly announced Apple event, why we're not expecting to see an iPhone 18, and whether the folding phone form factor is really good enough yet for Apple. After that, … Read the full story at The Verge. from The Verge https://ift.tt/47uqUFd

Apple TV’s sci-fi thriller Dark Matter gets even trippier in season 2

Confusion is a generally accepted side effect of mystery box shows . They slather on secrets with the promise of a satisfying payoff in the end, and sometimes the cast and crew even have a hard time following what's going on . But even by the standards of the genre, Dark Matter is extreme. Its multiversal premise, which involves a man kidnapping a version of himself from another world, can be hard to wrap your head around, and as the first season went on, things only got harder to follow. With the return of the show for season 2, I have both good and bad news: The show is more dramatic and thrilling than ever, while also being ever so much har … Read the full story at The Verge. from The Verge https://ift.tt/IFOtdRg

Of course Samsung made a 1,100Hz gaming monitor

Samsung announced its upcoming lineup of Odyssey gaming monitors today at Gamescom, and says that several will feature "world-first innovations" across display speeds and design. This includes the 27-inch Odyssey G6 it initially unveiled in December, which now features a 1,100Hz refresh rate, alongside new OLED Odyssey G9, G8, and G7 updates for 2027. The Odyssey G6 G60H's upgraded 1,100Hz final launch specification is a smidge faster than the already ridiculous 1,040Hz refresh rate that Samsung announced it would have at CES 2026. Little has changed otherwise, so this is still a dual-mode gaming monitor with an IPS-based display and a 1ms … Read the full story at The Verge. from The Verge https://ift.tt/lm3wTjs

Xiaomi’s new Redmi phone lasts for three days on a single charge

The Note 17 Pro Max also has a photochromic design, which is revealed by sunlight. The 9,210mAh dual-cell battery in the new Redmi Note 17 Pro Max is the biggest that Xiaomi has fit in any phone it's sold in Europe - and remarkably, in some other markets the phone comes with an even larger 10,000mAh single-cell design. As you can probably guess, this is a silicon-carbon battery either way, one with a high 16 percent silicon content, meaning it's more energy-dense than most. It's allowed Xiaomi to fit this huge battery into a phone that's basically the same size as an iPhone 17 Pro Max , but 8g lighter and fractionally thinner too. Xiaomi says the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max should give you "worry-free use" for up to three days, … Read the full story at The Verge. from The Verge https://ift.tt/IPof8jn

The second-generation Bose QuietComfort Headphones are good, but don’t stand out

The Bose QuietComfort Headphones Gen 2 look a lot like all other Bose headphones from the past few years. Bose QuietComfort headphones used to be innovative. Bose's noise-canceling research is the reason the technology is where it is today, and its headphones set the standard. They were the ubiquitous traveler's accessory. But over the past few years, it's felt like Bose has rested on that reputation, as other companies have caught up. Sony and Apple have both surpassed Bose in noise-canceling performance, and even midrange headphones like the $130 Soundcore Space 2 are close for much less money. That means the $359 Bose QuietComfort Headphones 2nd Gen need to stand out in other ways - and I don't think they do. Bose QuietComfort Headphones Gen … Read the full story at The Verge. from The Verge https://ift.tt/1meASEW
