Mafia 3 launched on the PC today so in preparation for our full game analysis and benchmarks, I sat down to play the game this morning and get started on forming my first impressions. Unfortunately, the problems with Mafia 3 on the PC are immediately apparent with a very limited …

AMD has introduced a new feature for its latest driver release, Radeon Crimson Edition 16.10.1, that will be of benefit to anyone running more than one AMD graphics card. It's called Frame Pacing and when DirectX 12 games can take advantage of it, it should make the overall experience much …

KitGuru was recently given the chance to fire some questions over to AMD's Scott Wasson on the topic of frame pacing for multi-GPU (mGPU) configurations using DirectX 12. Frame pacing has long been an issue for enthusiasts wanting smooth gameplay from their multi-GPU configurations. High frame rates are one aspect …
