RTX won a seven-year, $22.9 billion contract to boost Tomahawk production to about 1,000 missiles per year, with broader increases across Patriot/THAAD and other missiles; suppliers like L3Harris and General Dynamics stand to benefit, though investors remain wary of defense-spending shifts tied to midterm politics.
Halo: Campaign Evolved launched on July 28 with RTX/DLSS support and peaked at 25,376 concurrent Steam players; Steam reviews are mixed (67% positive) due to performance issues, login glitches, and other bugs, with many readers preferring Halo: The Master Chief Collection or Game Pass as a better value.
MDA Space will acquire Blue Canyon Technologies from RTX for $620 million in an all-cash deal, expanding its access to the U.S. government defense market; closing is subject to regulatory approvals including CFIUS; BCT employs 400+ people in Colorado and is projected to generate about $160 million in revenue in 2026 and is cash-flow positive; executives say the deal gives MDA Space an established U.S. presence, a path to classified work, and potential product synergies with its spacecraft, aligning with its strategy of growth through acquisitions (including last year’s SatixFy purchase) to strengthen U.S./European footprint.
NVIDIA’s DLSS 4.5 update adds Dynamic Multi Frame Generation and Multi Frame Generation 6X for RTX 50‑series GPUs. The AI-driven features interpolate extra frames to raise FPS without speeding native frames, with 6X capable of up to five new frames per native frame and about a 35% 4K FPS boost, albeit with possible artifacts in certain scenes. Supported games include 007 First Light, CONTROL Resonant Directive 8020, and Tides of Annihilation.
Despite last year’s handover of RTX’s GPS OCX ground system, 16 years and about $8 billion later the software remains non-operational, with extensive testing revealing persistent issues across subsystems and lawmakers weighing cancellation as the Space Force considers options to continue with legacy systems or pursue alternatives to enable M-code and GPS III capabilities.
NVIDIA's app update (v11.0.6) brings the DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution model to all RTX GPUs, improves image quality and stability in DLSS modes, and introduces 6x/Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation for RTX 50‑series coming in spring 2026. It also completes the migration of Control Panel features by moving the remaining Nvidia Surround settings (bezel correction, hotkeys) into the Nvidia app, unifying GeForce Experience and Control Panel. Update automatically or manually via Nvidia’s site, and enable DLSS 4.5 with the latest Game Ready driver.
