NVIDIA might launch its GeForce RTX 4090 as early as August, KyTy is the first PS5 emulator available and AMD’s FSR 2.0 compares favorably with DLSS 2.3 on God of War.
Another news-packed week, especially on the GPU side with news of NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce RTX 4000 Series and the GPU Lancaster Sound d’Intelemulation with two promising new emulators or the race for power with Intel targeting zetaFLOPS for 2027.
The GeForce RTX 4000 Series launched this summer?
The next generation of NVIDIA graphics cards might land as early as the month next August with the RTX 4090 at the top of the list. The RTX 4080 would follow in September, then the RTX 4070 in October. Their specifications unofficially unveiled in mid-May have been partially confirmed by other sources, such as their amount of memory, PCB identification or memory bus width.
In the meantime, the current GeForce RTXs can already run the DLSS 2.3 integrated into the God of War game, but also AMD’s FSR 2.0 which is not reserved for Radeons. And that’s good, since it allows compare these two technologies FSR 2.0 and DLSS 2.3 in the same game, as did our colleagues from Tom’s Hardware US.
Big week for the community of emulation enthusiasts
Finally, if the emulation of the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox360 is now rather functional with sufficiently powerful emulators, this is not yet the case with the more recent consoles from Sony. However, the number of emulation projects is growing little by little: following Spine and GPCS4, this week we have the right to fpPS4, a PS4 emulator that runs on Windows and uses the Vulcan API. Another project available on GitHub called Kyty offers to emulate the PS5, in addition to the PS4just that !
