This is what photorealistic games can look like on Unreal Engine 5. Train station demo can run on GeForce RTX 2080
The Unreal Engine 5 graphics engine is often referred to as a revolution in computer graphics. So far, not a single game has been released on this engine, and the first projects will obviously not be able to use the full potential of the software, but various demos are quite capable of demonstrating the maximum of what the engine is capable of. And the new Unreal Engine 5 demo looks incredible.
The realism of the picture is such that an uninitiated person may not understand at all that this is not a video. Yes, and experienced gamers from a distance may not see the artificiality of the railway station.
Of course, it’s not a fact that we will ever get a game on Unreal Engine 5 with about this level of graphics, but the potential of the engine is really incredible.
By the way, the demo was created in the image of a real station in the Japanese city of Toyama. The author says that he used the Lumen tool for lighting, but one of the main innovations of the engine – nanites – was not involved.
Unfortunately, the demo does not work in real time, so it is impossible to understand whether modern video cards are even capable of coping with such a task. True, the author noted that, with some decrease in quality, he could run it at 1440p resolution at 30-50 fps on the GeForce RTX 2080 and Ryzen 7 3700X. That is, theoretically, the conditional RTX 3090 can handle the demo in the same mode, but without reducing the quality. But this is just a guess.

When the GeForce RTX 4080 and Ryzen 9 7950X3D were placed in a sneaker. Unusual computer Cooler Master Sneaker X goes on sale

More than six months after its announcement, the unusual Cooler Master Sneaker X PC sneaker is finally going on sale. Moreover, the basic version turned out to be much cheaper than previously stated, although the PC is still very expensive.
The cheapest version is the one with Core i7-13700K and RTX 4070 – they ask for $3,500. The modification with RTX 4080 and Ryzen 9 7950X3D turned out to be the most expensive. They are asking 4,700 euros for this one, but in the USA, apparently, it simply won’t be available.
The configuration also always includes at least 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD. The power supply always has a power of 850 W.
It is difficult to understand from the photo what the dimensions of the PC are, so it is worth noting that it is 650 x 305 x 650 mm.

Almost $5,000 for an Nvidia video card with a 256-bit bus, but 32 GB of memory. RTX 5000 Ada appeared in retail

Nvidia has launched the RTX 5000 Ada graphics adapter. This is a professional solution that should not be confused with the regular RTX 5000, since the latter is a previous generation model.
The RTX 5000 Ada has been available for about a month now, but previously it could only be purchased as part of ready-made workstations. Now it has appeared in retail, although so far, apparently, only in China.
There they ask for about $4,800 for a new product. This is about half the price of the RTX 6000 Ada, but the parameters of the younger model are simpler. The card offers an AD102 GPU, but with only 12,800 active CUDA cores. At the same time, the new product has 32 GB of memory, but a 256-bit bus. Performance (FP32) is 65.3 TFLOPS with a TDP of only 250 W.

Neither in Blender nor in V-Ray can the new Core i9-14900K outperform the “old” Ryzen 9 7950X

The results of testing the Core i9-14900K processor in tasks that can actually load modern multi-core processors have appeared on the Internet.
In Blender, the new product scores almost 560 points, which is 6% more than the Core i9-13900KS. This is good considering that these are technically identical CPUs. The new product is already 8% ahead of its direct predecessor, the Core i9-13900K. However, the Ryzen 9 7950X is still a little faster.
In V-Ray, the new Intel flagship showed a result of 27,790 points, ahead of the Core i9-13900KS by 5% and its predecessor by 8%. But here again the AMD flagship is ahead.
Of course, it was clear in advance that Raptor Lake Refresh would only be a very minor update (except for the Core i7, which will get more cores), but now we can verify this not only through the results from Geekbench.
