NVIDIA finally gave DLSS 5 a date. It is 3 September, it needs an RTX 50 card, it costs 50 to 60 percent of your frame rate, and on day one there is one supported game.

The same neural rendering library is now available two ways. One is a supported NVIDIA product on RTX 50 cards. The other is leaked code held together with clever guesswork. They are not the same thing.

DLSS 5 only works by hooking a game's own DLSS calls. So how is it running in Skyrim, Batman and a PS2 emulator? The answer is a clever fake, and it explains why the results look unstable.

The MSI Claw 8 EX AI+ is one of the first handhelds on Intel's Arc G3 Extreme, and MSI's most powerful yet. It trades the OneXPlayer 3's modular tricks for a lighter, more comfortable body, but it inherits the same Intel Arc emulation question.

The OneXPlayer 3 is the first handheld on Intel's Arc G3 Extreme, and a modular 3-in-1 that turns from a handheld into a tablet or a mini laptop. It is also the most expensive way to emulate.

The Lenovo Legion Go S brings an 8" screen and AMD horsepower to SteamOS — a legitimate Steam Deck OLED alternative that trades OLED and portability for raw size and power.

The ROG Xbox Ally X is the most powerful handheld PC you can buy — and one of the best emulation machines ever made. Windows 11 is the asterisk.
