Update: Game's most recent allocation of PS5 stock has now sold out. Those who were waiting in the queue will have been presented with the following message: "We're sorry to tell you that stock is now sold out for PlayStation 5."

Starting today, February 17, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S owners can now enjoy a selection of backwards compatible games at up to four times the framerate. That means games which were previously locked to 30 frames per second can now hit that silky-smooth 60fps target thanks to Microsoft’s new FPS Boost feature – some can even hit 120fps. If that doesn’t mean anything to you, just know that higher, steadier framerates make games visually smoother and more responsive. The end result is a more immersive gameplay experience. The initial catalog of titles that support the FPS Boost feature is rather small, but you can now play Far Cry 4, Watch Dogs 2, UFC 4, Sniper Elite 4 and New Super Lucky’s Tale at far higher frame rates.

In brief: We've long been warned not to buy older, second-hand graphics cards from eBay that have been used for mining. It's assumed their continued use causes wear and tear that impacts gaming performance, and a YouTube channel has investigated this claim by testing an RTX 2080 Ti that's been mining for 18 months. Testing Games (via Tom's Hardware ) compared the 4K performance of several titles, pitting a brand-new Turing consumer flagship against one that had been mining for around 18 months. Not too surprisingly, the newer card was the better performer, offering about 10 percent more FPS in games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Battlefield V, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. One exception was Forza Horizon 4, where the difference was slightly greater. Buying an ex-mining card might not be as bad as you think As you can see in the video, the main reason behind the performance difference is the mining card running at a lower clock speed and with higher temperatures. The older … [Read more...] about See how an RTX 2080 Ti’s gaming performance compares to a new card after 18 months of mining

London: The UK Competition Appeal Tribunal has dismissed Fortnite creator Epic Games 's bid to take Apple to court in the UK over competition law . Fortnite was removed from Apple and Google 's app stores worldwide after it broke rules about in-app purchases. Claiming that the rules were unfair, Epic Games had sought permission to take both the US-based tech giants to court in the UK, the BBC reported on Monday. But the UK Competition Appeal Tribunal gave Epic Games, which is also US-based, permission to pursue only Google. While saying that the UK was not the right place for the Epic-Apple row, the judge, Justice Roth, did not have the same ruling when it came to Google for complex legal reasons. Epic Games last week said it has filed an antitrust complaint against Apple in the European Union, expanding the company's fight to advance what it calls "fairer digital platform practices" for developers and consumers. The complaint complements legal processes … [Read more...] about Epic Games’ bid to pursue case against Apple in UK rejected
