Nvidia's grand claim on gaming history meets DLSS-driven performance critique

A GamesRadar feature challenges Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s assertion that Nvidia created the modern video game industry, arguing the company’s heavy focus on AI upscaling (DLSS) and multi‑frame generation acts more as a software fix than a hardware solution, with widespread concerns about declining native game optimization, bottlenecks in current GPUs, and growing developer reliance on upscaling to hit high frame rates.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers - A Powerful Soulslike Experience

WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers is a demanding game that requires high-end GPUs for smooth gameplay at native resolutions, with NVIDIA DLSS 4 providing the best performance, though it currently has bugs. The game lacks support for AMD FSR 3.0 and Intel XeSS, limiting options for mid-tier GPU users. Graphics settings impact performance minimally, and the game looks impressive thanks to Unreal Engine 5's features, but optimization issues and bugs hinder the experience.
