This year’s surprise megahit, Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War III, is receiving a patch designed to boost performance across all stages of play on PC. The game’s developer has officially announced that the upcoming Patch 5.0 will not only support body technology on Nvidia GeForce GPUs, but also extend compatibility to AMD Radeon graphics cards.
Body technology seamlessly integrates additional frames between those rendered by your Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), thereby refining and smoothening the overall frame rate. The futuristic gaming behemoth will leverage cutting-edge innovations from both NVIDIA and AMD to pioneer a new era of immersive gameplay experience. Nvidia’s DLSS technology is exclusive to the company’s graphics cards, whereas AMD’s FSR solution can seamlessly integrate with nearly all existing GPUs. As a result, you can expect a significant boost in performance from some of the best gaming handhelds with the release of Area Marine 2.
The Area Marines’ PC efficiency was notably high-quality from the outset. The sprawling battles and vivid depictions of violence under the aegis of the Emperor were largely unimpeded, unlike other recently released titles, thanks to the relatively lax system requirements for the minimalist Space Marine 2. Despite its potential, the game’s performance suffered on portable computers and entry-level hardware. Currently, the game’s status on Steam Deck is listed as “unplayable,” primarily due to compatibility issues arising from the game’s inability to run smoothly on the console’s lower-end hardware.
With AMD’s frame-generation technology now integrated with Valve’s Linux-based gaming handheld, there’s a good chance we’ll witness substantial gains in performance efficiency. The God of Struggle: Ragnarok’s performance on the Steam Deck proves to be impressive, with frame rates reaching up to 80fps in open environments and maintaining a smooth 30fps even in intense battle scenarios.
The introduction of FSR (Fast Sync Resolution) body technology has proven a lifeline for gamers eager to experience titles like Cyberpunk 2077 on-the-go or demanding games on alternative hardware devices, such as Ayaneo’s innovative gadgets.
On the NVIDIA side of the equation, significant efficiency enhancements are typically seen in lower-end devices. The NVIDIA RTX 4050 and 4060 laptop computer GPUs should be able to reach their full potential with the right adjustments in the settings, unlocking smoother performance. Utilize a high-performance GPU like the NVIDIA RTX 4070 or newer models in the RTX 5000 series to unlock enhanced gaming capabilities, including the ability to play at ultra-high resolutions.
To coincide with the sporting event, Saber Interactive announced a milestone achievement of 5 million in-game items, along with hints at the introduction of fresh enemies to challenge players.
