Diablo IV has already become available for a number of players, and the authors of Tom`s Hardware decided to test the game on different video cards, including very old ones, because the project has low system requirements, and gamers who participated in the beta test reported that the game feels great on older GPUs.

It turned out that even old 3D cards like the GeForce GTX 670 are enough for normal operation of the game in Full HD at minimum graphics quality settings. Even such an adapter with only 2 GB of memory provides more than 60 fps, although the 1% Low indicator drops up to 28 fps. The GTX 1050 performs better, hitting 56 fps and around 40 fps for 1% Low.

At the same resolution, but already at the maximum graphics quality settings, the GTX 1050 is no longer enough, as the 1% Low value drops to 15 fps. But the GTX 970 or RX 570 handles the game without any problems.

In the same mode, but at 1440p resolution, it is better to get something like the RX 590 or GTX 1070, although the activation of FSR 2 allows you to continue using the same GTX 970.

4K resolution traditionally places much higher demands on the graphics subsystem. Here you already need a video card of a level not lower than the Radeon RX 6600, but better than the RTX 3060. For the cherished 60 fps, you will have to buy at least an RTX 4060 Ti or RX 6700 XT.

It is also worth noting that the game does not currently support ray tracing, but soon such a mode will appear, which will increase the requirements for the GPU.

GPUs for GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards will still be produced by TSMC.

This was stated by the head of Nvidia Jensen Huang. Thus, the company’s possible cooperation with Intel or Samsung in this direction is at least strongly postponed.

Recall that recently Huang said that he is open to cooperation with Intel, and the company uses Samsung services from time to time. But, apparently, already now the developments of TSMC are superior to the solutions of competitors.

At the same time, the head of Nvidia nevertheless noted that in the event of any global problems, the company is ready to produce its GPUs at the facilities of other companies. In this case, the fears about the military conflict between Taiwan and China, which were expressed by journalists, were meant. However, Huang noted that TSMC has factories in different regions.

Intel has announced that the Innovation 2023 event will be held September 19-20.

Intel is at the forefront of technology and what’s happening in the real world. We are uniquely positioned to connect the industry and dive deep into hardware and software technology solutions that push the boundaries of what is possible and change the world.

There are no details about what will be shown to us at the event yet, but the date is quite suitable for the announcement of new processors. At least Raptor Lake Refresh, but possibly Meteor Lake. Although it is not certain that Intel will mix these two announcements.

Last year, at a similar event, Intel introduced a lot of different products and revealed its plans. So, probably, we are waiting for a lot of important information.
