There are no comments yet PlayStation Network users are reporting accounts being blocked without warning or explanation from Sony. According to Rozetked, dozens of complaints appeared on X, Reddit and the ResetEra forum. User accounts are blocked without explanation, and they do not receive notification of this by email. [caption id="attachment_85676" align="aligncenter" width="780"] PlayStation[/caption] PlayStation users report permanent bans without explanation from Sony Reports come from the US, Europe and Australia. It is not yet clear on what principle the blocking occurs. Users confirm that they cannot appeal the blocking or withdraw money from the wallet. The support service works intermittently due to the large influx of users. One of them received the following response: “This account has been permanently suspended from PlayStation Network due to violations of the PlayStation Network Terms of Service and User Agreement.” Sony has not yet commented on the situation.

But you need two video cards Nvidia DLSS and AMD FSR upscalers have their own variants of frame generation technology, which work differently and are available on different video cards. But it turns out that these technologies can be made to work together. [caption id="attachment_85199" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Nvidia DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3[/caption] The authors from QuasarZone decided to check whether it would be possible to make the HR generation technologies of two companies work on one PC, and it turned out that it would work. But only in a very specific way, and the results are ambiguous. [caption id="attachment_85200" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Nvidia DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3[/caption] Frame generation technologies in Nvidia DLSS 3 and AMD FSR 3 forced to work together This all works thanks to the fact that AMD has an AFMF generator built into the driver, otherwise it probably would not have been possible to implement the idea. However, the system must still have two different 3D maps. In this case, the authors of the idea used the RTX 4090 and RX 6600. The game (in this case, several projects, including Cyberpunk 2077) was rendered on an RTX 4090 card. It also allowed DLSS 3 to be activated with frame generation. Next, the RX 6600, to which the monitor is connected, comes into operation. Technically it is used for image output, but the AMD driver allows you to improve performance through AFMF before outputting the image. That is, the AMD frame generator adds frames to a picture that the Nvidia generator had previously added frames to. At the same time, productivity increases greatly. Almost three times the original value and twice the value obtained after the generator in DLSS 3. This implementation, surprisingly, does not cause any special technical problems. Is it possible that the 1% Low indicator may even decrease in a number of games, although in Cyberpunk it has increased. In addition, it is worth remembering that AFMF technology turns off as soon as the player starts moving the camera quickly, but in quiet modes it automatically turns back on. Unfortunately, the authors did not pay attention to image quality, which is very important, given two technologies for completing frame drawing.

It occupies four expansion slots Another video card with a Noctua cooler has appeared on the market. And she's incredibly fat again. [caption id="attachment_85159" align="aligncenter" width="780"] GeForce RTX 4070 Ti[/caption] Sycom introduced the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Silent Master, which received Noctua fans. As you can see in the photo, without fans this is a two-slot adapter, but with them it already takes up four slots. Actually, there are simply no high-performance models with Noctua fans (at least for three expansion slots), although the same Sycom previously released a two-slot RTX 4060 Ti . GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Silent Master presented with Noctua fans Like the lower-end cards, the new product uses Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM fans and a special frame for mounting them, developed by Nagao. As the name implies, the new product should stand out primarily for its quiet operation. Compared to the MSI model, according to Sycom's own measurements, the noise level is much lower: 43.6 versus 55.1 dB. Temperatures are also lower, but not as significantly: 74.5 versus 79.3 degrees.

It is 60% smaller than the original PS5 The new version of the PlayStation 5, released by Sony in November 2023, is not much smaller than the original model of the console. Not everyone was happy with how much the PlayStation 5 Slim has shrunk . Enthusiast modder Not From Concrete managed to put the Japanese manufacturer to shame by showing how to reduce the size of consoles. [caption id="attachment_85008" align="aligncenter" width="780"] PlayStation 5[/caption] He introduced the Tiny PlayStation 5, a tiny special version of the console, which is positioned as the smallest PS5 with a removable optical drive. It is 60% smaller than the standard PS5. Learn, Sony: the smallest PlayStation 5 with a removable optical drive is presented It is based on the PlayStation 5 version of the CFI 1200 with a smaller motherboard. It also uses a smaller M.2 SSD with a maximum length of 42 mm, a modified cooling system with a Blackridge radiator and a 120 mm Noctua fan. The power supply has been replaced with a smaller 250W model from HD Plex to save space. https://youtu.be/uUkn_y73U_M The drive is placed in a separate case so that, if necessary, it can be connected or removed at any time to facilitate transportation. Despite the smaller cooling system, the temperature of the Ryzen chip remains below 60 degrees Celsius during games, but the Noctua fan runs at maximum speed, so this mini version of the PlayStation 5 is louder than the regular version. Let us recall that while developing the PlayStation 5 Slim, Sony reduced the body size by 30% and reduced the weight by 24%. In addition to support for a removable drive, the new version of the console has some improvements, such as a 1 TB solid-state drive and two USB Type-C ports.

Is it not clear what kind of chip it is based on? The Sony PlayStation Portal portable game console went on sale, and the first video with the disassembly of this device immediately appeared on the Internet.  [caption id="attachment_83057" align="aligncenter" width="780"] PlayStation Portal[/caption] It turned out that disassembling Portal, despite its technical simplicity, is not so easy, and maintainability, apparently, is not very good.  PlayStation Portal doesn't hide anything unusual inside https://youtu.be/AL5c4qo8utA The battery capacity is 16.9 Wh. There is no active cooling system, but this is because it is based on a rather low-performance chip. More precisely, its low performance can be judged precisely by the absence of any active CO, since the SG4150P number does not allow us to find any clear details about its configuration. Considering that the console does not process data itself, but only displays games launched remotely, performance is not required here.  Let us remind you that Portal may become a more interesting product in the future, since Sony does not exclude the possibility of adding support for the cloud gaming service PS Now , and then a PS5 will not be required to run Portal.

Costs $525 AOC has introduced the MOSS 7 mini-PC, which stands out for its very compact dimensions and unusual design, and at the same time can please you with its performance.  [caption id="attachment_82529" align="aligncenter" width="780"] AOC MOSS 7[/caption] AOC MOSS 7 offers an unusual design, compact size, high performance and low price As you can see in the photo, the mini-PC looks different from most devices on the market. It looks more like some kind of set-top box or other consumer electronics. Dimensions are 145 × 115 × 42 mm. This is far from a record, but the performance here is far from basic.  The heart is the Ryzen 7 7840HS, which means that you can also play games, although, of course, this cannot be called a full-fledged gaming product.  The configuration also includes 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD. And for all this they ask for $525, which is quite a bit, considering the parameters.  From the rest, we can highlight two HDMI 2.0, RJ45, USB-C, three USB 3.0, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.

For now, the services necessary for registration are working, but nothing lasts forever Sony has just started selling its updated PlayStation 5 Slim game console . Users online began to express concern about such an important detail of the new product as the console’s removable disk drive. [caption id="attachment_81938" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Sony PlayStation 5[/caption] The removable drive of the Sony PlayStation 5 Slim may eventually turn into a “brick” The more compact, updated console itself does not have an optical drive, but users can buy it separately and connect it to the console. As previously reported, this will require an Internet connection. Now there are reports that resetting the console will also deregister the drive. This means that the user will have to register it again online, otherwise the device will not work correctly. The concern is that the device may become unusable over time, given that online services do not last forever. The same problems can presumably arise with the internal drive. In addition to support for a removable drive, the new version of the console comes with some improvements such as a 1TB SSD and two USB Type-C ports.

You need a PS5 for it to work. Today, various publications have published their reviews of the portable game console, if you can call it that, the Sony PlayStation Portal. We've collected a variety of opinions and feedback from various reviews to understand what Sony has done and who needs it. [caption id="attachment_81838" align="aligncenter" width="780"] PlayStation[/caption] The Verge says the device makes a confusing first impression. Due to the very nature of Portal and its limitations, the device is, according to journalists, primarily intended for PlayStation fans who want a simple and specialized tool for streaming games in their home. The VGC authors also say that the new product will appeal to a rather narrow circle of gamers. Not only do you have to be a PlayStation fan, you also have to have scenarios where Portal makes sense at all. For example, when there is only one TV in the house and you have to share it with relatives. Or when someone wants to sit on the toilet or lie in the bathroom, but continue to play. Or play while lying on the bed, when the bed is not in the same room as the TV. In addition, this is a good gift option for a gamer who has a PlayStation 5. A strange device for PlayStation fans, but with a number of strengths. If we talk about the advantages, there are many of them. First, surprisingly, is autonomy. After the announcement, it was expected that Portal would not please with this indicator, but it turned out that the device works for 6–10 hours, which is very good. Secondly, journalists say that the device is very comfortable to hold. In addition, the main DualSense technologies are supported here, that is, adaptive triggers and a proprietary haptic feedback system. The screen as a whole is also praised, however, in bright sunlight, if you use the console outdoors, the display brightness will no longer be enough. Connection stability, which is critical for Portal, is also fine. In most cases, journalists did not experience any problems with the quality of data transmission, even when connected via 5G. As for the shortcomings, the main one, of course, concerns the capabilities of the device. If PlayStation Portal could at least launch games from the PS Now cloud service, this would significantly expand its capabilities and attract more gamers. In addition, the console does not support Bluetooth connectivity, which means you can connect either wired headphones or expensive branded Sony headphones. Some people call the price of $200 optimal, while others consider it too high, given the extremely limited use cases.

Open sales will start on November 15, 2023 The first unboxing video of the PlayStation Portal game console has appeared online, showing the size of Sony's new portable device and comparing it with Valve's Steam Deck. There is still about a week left before open sales begin, but the Spanish YouTube channel Hobby Consolas has already published an unboxing video of the device. [caption id="attachment_80905" align="aligncenter" width="728"] Sony PlayStation Portal's[/caption] Due to the embargo from Sony, the device is not turned on and is not demonstrated by the author of the video in operation, but the design can be seen in all details. When comparing the PlayStation Portal and the Steam Deck, we see roughly the same size, despite the fact that the PlayStation Portal comes with an 8-inch display while the Steam Deck offers a 7-inch screen. In addition, Sony's portable console is somewhat lighter than Valve's device. Sony PlayStation Portal's first unboxing reveals actual size, comparison to Steam Deck and more https://youtu.be/V9vmFhWQGGM Let us remind you that the console is equipped with an 8-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1080p and a frame rate of 60 Hz. PlayStation Portal is focused on streaming PlayStation Remote Play games by remotely connecting to the PlayStation 5 over a local network via Wi-Fi. PlayStation Portal allows you to play games installed on the PS5 console, including using the Dualsense controller. There is a 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones. PlayStation Portal also includes the core features of the DualSense controller, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. The company is accepting pre-orders for the new product in some regions from September 2023 at a price of $200.

Deliveries are expected in 2024 One arrogant Chilean retailer called GSMPRO has opened its online store to accept pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 game console. The problem is that Nintendo has not yet made any announcements or presentations of the expected new product. [caption id="attachment_80842" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Nintendo Switch 2[/caption] Apparently, the retailer opened pre-orders solely at his own peril and risk, and all the information on the site is based on rumors and leaks on the Internet. Even the product image on the Switch 2 page is a famous concept created by YouTuber eian. [caption id="attachment_80845" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Nintendo Switch 2[/caption] Pre-order for Nintendo Switch 2 with details and prices has been opened in Chile. Essentially, GSMPRO has summarized the information that is known about the Nintendo Switch 2 at the moment. The Nintendo Switch 2 price is set at 400,000 Chilean pesos (roughly $454), which is in line with the previously rumored $449 for the standard model. GSMPRO also notes that the set-top box will be available “soon” and deliveries will begin in 2024. A potential Switch 2 can be reserved, and any money deposited will subsequently be deducted from the final price of the console. Features include an improved LCD screen, NVIDIA Tegra T239 platform and Samsung 5LPP technology, improved built-in speakers and voice recognition, and “almost guaranteed” backward compatibility with Nintendo Switch games. The same concept: https://youtu.be/Fda-2jkiyWo
