Nvidia’s New Feature Could End Post-Driver Update Gaming Stutters
Nvidia has introduced a new Automatic Shader Compilation feature in beta through its Nvidia App, designed to eliminate stuttering and long loading times that often occur after graphics driver updates. This feature works by updating shader caches in the background during PC idle times, aiming to provide a smoother gaming experience similar to consoles. While promising, concerns remain regarding system resource usage, potential GPU wear, and the exact definition of 'idle' for the software.

I had high hopes for Nvidia's DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Gen, but it's not quite what I expected
Nvidia's new DLSS 4.5 Dynamic Multi Frame Generation feature, available in beta via the Nvidia App, aims to boost frame rates without constant frame generation. Testing on an RTX 5080 with Cyberpunk 2077 revealed that while the feature can achieve high frame rates, it often results in increased input lag and a less responsive feel, especially with mouse and keyboard input. The dynamic mode showed limited variation in frame generation levels, suggesting its effectiveness is constrained by game engine limitations and the inherent trade-offs of AI-generated frames.

CoreWeave co-founder says even older GPUs are still rising in price and are in demand for AI servers
CoreWeave co-founder Brannin McBee stated that older GPUs, specifically from Nvidia's Ampere generation (circa 2020), are still in high demand for AI servers. This demand persists even as newer generations like Hopper and Blackwell are released, indicating that not all AI workloads require the latest hardware. The continued robust demand for these older SKUs contributes to rising prices in a supply-constrained market.
Minecraft creator Notch says 'DLSS fundamentally makes no sense', but the X comments say 'um,…
Minecraft creator Markus Persson, also known as Notch, expressed skepticism about Nvidia's DLSS and Frame Generation technologies, stating they 'fundamentally make no sense.' He argued that using the same hardware to run a neural network for frame generation is illogical when the graphics card is already struggling. The article also touches on the evolution of graphics technology, including AI's role in rendering.
PC RAM prices are so high that gaming PCs with 32GB just dropped 20% on Steam
The latest Steam Hardware Survey for March 2026 indicates a significant 20.31% drop in gaming PCs equipped with 32GB of RAM, attributed to high PC RAM prices. Consequently, configurations with 16GB, 12GB, and 8GB of RAM have seen notable increases. The survey also shows the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 has overtaken the RTX 4060 as the most used GPU, while generic 'AMD Radeon Graphics' have risen in popularity.
Linux installs jump to over 5% of gamers on the latest Steam Hardware Survey while the RTX 5070 reverts to the norm
The latest Steam Hardware Survey for March shows a significant increase in Linux adoption among gamers, jumping to 5.33%, while Windows 11 usage also rose at the expense of Windows 10. GPU statistics have normalized after a suspicious spike for the Nvidia RTX 5070 in February, with the RTX 3060 returning to the top spot.

The author tested Nvidia's new DLSS Dynamic Multi Frame Generation update, specifically a new preset designed to improve UI elements in games. Despite testing with multiple games and comparing presets closely, no discernible difference in UI elements was observed, leading to speculation about potential driver bugs or hyperbolic marketing claims.
Now that you can try out Nvidia's new Dynamic Multi Frame Generation for yourself, you might want to know that there's a bit of an issue when it comes to frame rate limiters
Nvidia's new Dynamic Multi Frame Generation technology for RTX 50-series GPUs exhibits an issue when frame rate limiters are applied. When a frame rate cap is set, Dynamic MFG locks to a fixed mode, leading to increased latency (PCL) compared to when no limiter is used. This behavior has been observed in games like Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and it is unclear if it is a bug or a system limitation.
