Lossless Scaling has received a major update to version 3.0 (beta) from developer THS. This update represents a significant step up in quality, productivity and reduction delays. The developers noted many improvements that make this program even more popular among users.

There was flickering and image artifacts reduced, which improved the clarity and smoothness of movement. Thanks to optimizations, the load on graphics processor decreased by 40% in x2 (non-Performance) mode, and at multipliers above x2 the decrease was more than 45%. This update makes the program more accessible for use on a wider range of devices.

The delay in the new version has been reduced by 24% compared to version 2.0. In addition, Lossless Scaling 3.0 now supports frame rate generation multipliers up to x20, which opens up new possibilities for users.

Users can test the updated interface by activating the beta version through the Steam library. To do this, go to the program properties and select the "beta versions" tab. Users can also Windows 11 versions 24H2 can use the DXGI API again thanks to the latest Microsoft update KB5046617.

This update makes Lossless Scaling 3.0 not only a tool for scaling, but also an important component for frame generation, which is ideal for both gamers and professionals.

During CES 2025, AMD top manager Frank Azor shared news about possible support for the technology FSR4 for previous generations of video cards. This statement gives hope to owners GPU based on RDNA 3.

Frank Azor noted that AMD engineers are working on adapting FSR 4 for architecture RDNA 3, but compatibility cannot yet be guaranteed. According to him, the main limitation is related to the use machine learning, which requires a lot of computing power. This is the reason why FSR 4 technology is initially compatible only with video cards built on RDNA 4.

However, the AMD team is trying to optimize upscaler, so that it can run on the current generation of graphics cards. Azor emphasized: “We hope that we can solve this problem, but for now it is a work in progress.”

Gamers can only hope that AMD will be able to implement FSR 4 support on more devices, which will make upscaling technology more accessible to a wider audience.

ZOTAC has announced a new series of GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards, including the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. One of the key features of these graphics cards is the updated 12VHPWR connector with the function "Safety Light".

"Safety Light" prevents power from being supplied to the video card when the cable is not fully connected, which significantly increases safety and reduces the risk of equipment damage. For additional protection, the connector is equipped with 5 micron thick gold-plated contacts, which provide better conductivity and corrosion protection.

These improvements are aimed at solving the overheating and melting issues of the 12VHPWR connectors that were previously observed in graphics cards of other series. In addition, the GeForce RTX 50 graphics cards from ZOTAC are equipped with the IceStorm 3.0 cooling system, which provides effective heat dissipation, and also supports technologies such as DLSS-4, to improve performance and graphics.

On the CES 2025 AMD has not revealed the expected architecture RDNA4, explaining this by the need to hold a separate event. An AMD representative commented on this decision Frank Azor, stating that the new line of graphics cards deserved a full presentation rather than a shortened display at a general conference.

The main reasons for the delay:

• Lack of time to cover the topic in detail during CES.
• AMD's desire to focus on the new architecture and associated software improvements, including FSR4.

Frank Azor explained that RDNA 2 and RDNA 3 were also showcased at separate events, allowing the company to fully demonstrate their capabilities.

RDNA 4 Release and Pricing Plans

Azor also shared what to expect from the new line:

• The price range for the new models will be from $300 to $1,000.
• The RX 9070 series graphics cards (including the RX 9070 XT) will be comparable in performance to the Radeon RX 7800 XT and RX 7900 GRE, meaning the mid-range RDNA 4 will compete with the higher-end RDNA 3 models.

AMD is expected to hold a separate event where it will not only unveil RDNA 4, but also talk about related software improvements.

Some analysts believe that AMD deliberately delayed the announcement to gauge the reaction to the series presentation. NVIDIA RTX 50. In addition, insiders previously reported that the RX 9070 series could be a real breakthrough and a serious alternative for those considering buying the RTX 50.

The Perfect Cooler for Your BTF Build: ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB

Once you start tidying up one part of your build with the BTF design, you may find it hard to stop. Once you hide all the wires for your front I/O, SATA drives, and case fans, you'll be even more interested in the BTF graphics card hiding your GPU. And what about cooling your processor?

We’ve already seen PC builders experiment with clever ways to cool the CPU without ruining the ultra-clean aesthetic of the BTF. As much as we love these solutions, we also want to give mainstream builders an alternative that combines the convenience and performance of a liquid cooler with a neat, uncluttered style. The result of ASUS’s efforts is the all-new ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB CPO.

By redesigning the pump housing, we were able to reduce the length of the wrapped rubber tubing for this cooler to 200mm while still maintaining ample mounting options within the housing.

The ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB has also been updated with some customization elements that are so exciting, you’ll barely notice the tubes. The pump body now features a curved 6.67-inch AMOLED display that supports eye-catching 3D media without glasses — or personalized hardware monitoring information if you’re more practical. The display module is magnetically attached and attaches to the pump body in two different orientations, so your view is always on point.

The radiator fans also match the new cyberpunk-inspired lighting design, which extends to the sides of the fans as well as the front. To simplify installation and minimize cables, the fans are connected in series. They are connected by a magnetic connector that transmits control and power signals.

Dive into the BTF concept

The ROG Maximus Z890 Hero BTF, TUF Gaming B850-BTF WiFi, and ROG Ryuo IV SLC 360 ARGB join the large and growing ecosystem of ASUS BTF components. With BTF motherboards, BTF graphics cards, and BTF cases, you can easily build a PC that hides cables and wires.
