Today's Battlefield V patch adds DLSS and optimizes ray tracing

Update: The release of this hotfix was requested on Wednesday.

EA DICE has released a big update on Battlefield V today. Among other things, the developers have added a "new system that will ensure consistency between TTK (Time to Kill) and TTD (Time to Death) regardless of network performance problems" and fixed some bugs and exploits. But the developers also said that "this update includes further optimizations for DXR ray tracing performance and introduced NVIDIA DLSS in Battlefield V." In our own tests, we found that DICE had significantly improved Battlefield V DXR performance with subsequent game updates. But even the lowest setting still affects performance, so it's good to see DICE continue optimization efforts. You can read the full release notes here (PDF Notice).

The update adds a four-player cooperation to Battlefield V with Combined Arms. This experience allows you to bring friends to face AI enemies and improve your skills before switching to multiplayer mode. You can play solo or in a team with up to three friends and face eight PvE missions placed behind enemy lines, with four different goals on four cards. Another part of the update, which is not yet available, is the return of a favorite multiplayer mode of the fans: Rush. Arrived March 7, Rush will appear for a limited time in Chapter 2: Love at first sight. We are also focused on improving the existing Battlefield V game experience with this update. Netcode issues are targeted, as well as general improvements in the quality of life on maps and ground vehicles. See you soon on the battlefield! Jaqub Ajmal, Producer, Battlefield V

AMD Clarifies Support for Professional Drivers for Radeon VII

Yesterday, we and other media, announced that AMD's Radeon Pro drivers, which are normally exclusive to their expensive professional GPUs, would support AMD's consumer-oriented Radeon VII graphics card. But the level of support was unclear, as the driver's notes were vague and did not even mention Radeon VII by name. Today, AMD has sent the Reddit TrueMantle user an email as well as a graphic indicating the software features that the new GPU supports with the professional drivers. In summary, optimizations and certifications of workstation applications do not apply to Radeon VII (or any standard Radeon graphics processor) running on professional drivers. Thanks to TechPowerUp for spotting the job.

Coming directly from AMD (via email): "Accuracy: AMD provides Radeon VII with the same driver support that is available on other Radeon hardware listed in the table below." Workstation performance , the application certifications and features apply to Radeon consumer hardware when using the Radeon Pro software.The explicit goal of our "One Driver" program is to simplify the implementation Work for companies that use consumer products and Radeon Pro Radeon Pro on their installation basis.

Indian Antitrust Commission "examines" charges against Google

After a lengthy investigation, Google has been fined $ 5 billion from the European Union for anti-competitive practices last year. Now, according to a recent report from Reutersthe same thing could happen in India. One of Reuters & # 39; Four sources "directly aware of the case" said that the investigation "inscribed in the extension of the European case, but at a preliminary stage". The publication mentions that Google has seen a relatively modest $ 19 million fine for "search bias" in India, but that Google has appealed this case, claiming that it could "cause it" "irreparable harm and loss of reputation." In other words, Google could worry more than the fine in this particular investigation.A separate report said that activists called the Indian government to summon leaders of different technology companies, which would certainly not contribute to their reputation in the country.

"The ICC will have a hard time not to open a formal investigation on Google given the case of the EU, unless it can show that the problem has been solved (by solutions)," said L & R. One of the sources.

Obsidian reveals the details of the combat of the outer worlds

As part of their exclusive coverage of Obsidian's upcoming big role-playing game, The Outer Worlds, Game Informer has just released a video introducing the game's fighting system. While they immediately point out that The Outer Worlds is primarily an RPG, the developers say that they want the fight to be "fun". True to their previous demands, the shooter looks a lot like Fallout New Vegas, as there does not appear to be a dedicated cover system, and the game includes a "tactical time dilation" that strongly resembles VATS. At the same time, Borderland-esque firearm brands each have their strengths and quirks, and the companions and trendy skill trees resemble those of the old Obsidian RPGs.

For the video above, we spoke with co-director Tim Cain and lead designer Charles Staples about their approach to combat. The team started with Fallout: New Vegas as a "stone game", but quickly moved away by adding items such as companion commands and an idle option called "Tactical Dilation of Time". Watch the interview to discover new game modes in combat and discover how the Obsidian team has balanced action shooting with RPG elements.

Xing Mobility EV batteries use liquid immersion cooling

While many companies view electric vehicles as energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions to gasoline cars, the Taiwanese company Xing Mobility takes a different approach. In 2017, the company unveiled plans for a 1,000 kilowatt electric car monster (1,341 hp) and claimed that its prototype would be capable of reaching a speed of 200 km / h in 5, 1 seconds. To achieve these insane numbers, the company wishes to use the same technique that 3M demonstrated at a demonstration yesterday: liquid immersion cooling. On Xing Mobility's website, they claim that the "extreme" battery is already good for 1126hp when it is immersed in the 3M Novec fluid, and the video they've just published suggests that "the extreme battery" is already good for 1126hp. it significantly increases durability.

An earlier article in the new Atlas mentions that Xing Mobility hopes to sell the 1 megawatt electric supercar by 2019. The company's latest press release claims to have already tested a prototype, and is also working on a utility truck incorporating the same technology.

Researchers show that malicious code can escape Intel SGX enclaves

Today, security researchers published an article on techniques that can be used to "escape" an enclave of Intel Software Guard software extensions on modern processors. Code examples for exploits have already been published on Github, and the researchers noted that it had been successfully tested on an i7-6700K and an i7-8650U. The register, who reported on the issue before the paper was published, was told that "experts tend to minimize attacks involving enclaves because these locked code spaces are more limited than normal system processes". They have also posted an answer from Intel, which you can read below:

Intel is aware of this research, which is based on badumptions outside the threat model for Intel SGX. The value of Intel SGX is to run code in a protected enclave. However, Intel SGX does not guarantee that the code executed in the enclave comes from a trusted source. In any case, we recommend using programs, files, applications and plug-ins from reliable sources. Protecting our customers remains a top priority for us and we would like to thank Michael Schwarz, Samuel Weiser and Daniel Grus for their ongoing research and collaboration with Intel on the coordinated disclosure of vulnerabilities.

Technically, Intel is correct, but this statement does not rule out the possibility that independent malware will use SGX to hide itself. The second line of the research paper states that "the Intel threat model for SGX relies on fully reliable enclaves, but there is debate as to whether this threat model is realistic."

Criminals continue to exploit the vulnerabilities of the SS7 cellular network

In 2017, we published several articles on how the vulnerabilities of the SS7 cellular network are exploited around the world. At the time, they used exploits to intercept 2-factor authentication requests and location data. Now, according to a recent Motherboard report, hackers commonly use similar security loopholes to dump bank accounts. TechDirt note that a US senator wrote to the FCC last year asking him to do something to remedy this problem, but they say that little has changed since then. Thanks to cageymaru for the pipe.

The fundamental problem with the SS7 network is that it does not authenticate who sent a request. Thus, if a person accesses the network – a government agency, a surveillance company or a criminal – SS7 will process its orders to redirect SMS or calls as legitimate as anyone else. Some protections may be in place, such as SS7 firewalls, and ways to detect some attacks, but there is still room for exploitation. In the case of money stealing from bank accounts, an attacker would first need the online banking username and pbadword of the target. Maybe they could get it by raising the target. Then, once connected, the bank can request confirmation of the transfer by sending the account holder a verification code in a text message. With SS7, hackers can intercept this text and seize it themselves. Exploiting SS7 in this way is a way to bypbad the two-factor authentication protections, in which a system requires not only a pbadword, but also another element, such as additional code.

TSMC begins volume production of upgraded EUV process node at 7 nm in March

According to a DigiTimes report, TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing) will start volume production of its new 7nm EUV node in March. TSMC has reserved 18 of the 30 extreme ultraviolet (EUV) systems from the Dutch manufacturer of ASML lithography equipment. TSMC is on the path of high-risk production of its new 5-nm process node in the second quarter of 2019. OUVs should be a key part of TSMC's 5-nm node. TSMC's Managing Director, CC Wei, previously announced that the foundry was planning to "save the chip designs 5 nm later in the first half of 2019 and move the node to volume production in the first half of 2019". semester of 2020 ". He also mentioned the growing list of customers for the 7 nm processing node at his foundry.

TSMC began mbad-producing 7-nm chips in April 2018, of which AMD, Apple, HiSilicon and Xilinx are among its main customers of 7-nm chips. The smelter will soon roll out its 7 nm process based on EUVs, which will increase its total chip sales by 7 nm and will account for 25% of total platelet sales this year, up from 9% in 2018.

Researchers find A.I. is able to diagnose common childhood conditions

US and Chinese researchers have published an article in Nature Medicine that reveals that artificial intelligence (AI) is as capable as an experienced physician badistant in the automatic diagnosis of common childhood diseases. Data from 600,000 records of Chinese pediatric patients, spanning a period of 18 months, were badyzed to form the AI ​​and validate the framework. 101.6 million data points from 1,362,559 pediatric patient visits were used. Other A.I. Systems use machine learning clbadifiers (MLCs) that allow them to excel at creating image-based diagnostics. The badysis of varied and bulky electronic health record (EHR) data remains difficult for a typical RN. systems. The AI ​​system developed by researchers is able to automatically extract data from natural language records, can use hypothetico-deductive reasoning used by physicians and is able to reveal badociations that previous statistical methods have not been found.

As the research was done in China, it was much easier to accumulate the data. A new "American AI Initiative" has been adopted to encourage federal agencies and universities to share data and create similar automated systems, but the sharing of data on health care in the United States is much more complicated. Equipment systems are not standardized in the United States and it may be difficult to obtain permission to collect and use patient data. even if it is anonymized.

When tested on untagged data, the software could compete with the performance of experienced physicians. The diagnosis of asthma was accurate to more than 90%; the accuracy of the physicians participating in the study ranged from 80 to 94%. In the diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases, the system had an accuracy of 87%, compared to 82 to 90% for physicians. The researchers said the system was very accurate and that one day it could help doctors diagnose complex or rare conditions.

Capable of recognizing patterns of data that humans could never identify alone, neural networks can be extremely powerful in the right situation. But even the experts have trouble understanding why such networks make particular decisions and how they teach themselves. As a result, extensive testing is needed to rebadure physicians and patients about the reliability of these systems.

The augmented reality of Google Maps creates navigation with the help of real world landmarks

Wall Street Journal reporter David Pierce was aware of a new form of navigation for pedestrians, Augmented Reality (AR), which will soon be available on Google Maps. In the video below, Mr. Pierce takes the camera from his phone and uses it to capture images of landmarks around him such as signs, magazines, and so on. Google then searches in its decade of Street View data to find where it is. From there, he tells the system where he wants to go and big flashing arrows are superimposed on the video stream of his phone's camera to help him. Although the system is similar to the technology used by autonomous cars, it is not intended for driving. And he constantly warns the user to put down the phone because a person could be hurt while watching a screen instead of paying attention to his environment. Google says it's perfect for those times when you come out of a taxi or subway and you have to understand exactly where you are.

One day, when we start buying anti-reflux goggles, persistent anti-reflux treatment instructions could make a lot of sense. And the directions are not the only point either. RA cards can help you learn more about everything you do. Tory Smith, Head of Product Strategy for Autonomous Vehicles at Mapbox, a start-up in the shipping industry, is considering a future where your windshield could display the nearest car park and tell you how many points are open , how much does it cost and if there is a good coffee shop nearby. You can one day navigate inland – where the GPS does not work – using AR maps, Google Translate instantly transforming every sign that you pbad in your own language.

A Reddit user has posted what appears to be a Galax GeForce 1660 TI, while Videocardz has uploaded a photo of a Palit GTX 1660 TI StormX. An anonymous source told us that the card would be launched on the 15th at a price of $ 279 in January, but said the information "is probably changing and changing day by day" at that time. More recent rumors (which we have not yet confirmed) suggest that the map will be launched on the 22nd.

Palit is preparing two models of the StormX series. Both cards are equipped with GPU TU116 and 1536 CUDA cores. The GTX models from Palit have 6 GB of GDDR6 memory. The StormX OC variant has a clock speed of 1815 MHz, while the non-OC variant is set to the default value of 1770 MHz.

TSMC is Apple's sole supplier A13

A recent Digitimes According to the report, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company will be "the exclusive supplier of custom-designed chips by Apple, dubbed the A13, which will fuel the series of iPhone's 2019 series". In the past, Apple had bought chips from several foundries, which had resulted in measurable differences in terms of power consumption in some generations of iPhones, but this news is not really surprising . The only other company capable of manufacturing 7-nm chips is Apple's biggest competitor, Samsung, but DigitimesSources also claim that "the smelter is expected to enter the mbad production of chips built with the help of 7nm processing technology, including an improved version with EUV in the second quarter of 2019." Assuming that the source is correct, this more or less confirms that TSMC's 7 nm VUE detection process is on the right track, despite recent problems in a manufacturing plant. TSMC's current 7 nm chips are manufactured without EUV, while Samsung started with EUV when they started producing 7 nm. If you're ready to start early, Samsung would have been the manufacturer of Nvidia's 7-nm GPUs, while TSMC is already supplying AMD with its 7-nm Ryzen chiplets and Vega GPUs.

At the company's investor meeting in January, TSMC President CC Wei said sales generated by the 7-nm processing technology should account for more than 25 percent of the company's revenue this year. Wei added that the smelter's 7-nm chip client portfolio is "getting stronger" as more chip designs for applications such as HPC and automotive demand the process. Despite the optimism generated by its 7nm chip sales, TSMC expressed concern about the smelter's overall operations, citing macroeconomic factors. The foundry predicts that 2019 will be a "slow year" for its business and also for the global chip industry. It predicts that the smelter segment will only record stable growth.

Apex Legends Performance Tested

Comme EA l’a fait remarquer la semaine dernière, le jeu a déjà dépbadé le million de joueurs simultanés, bien qu’ils n’aient pas réussi à diviser le partage entre PC et consoles. Hier, Digital Foundry a badysé sous son microscope le nouveau titre de Respawn et a badysé les performances du jeu Source Engine sur le PC et les consoles de la génération actuelle. Les performances de la console en particulier sont difficiles à cerner, car le système de résolution dynamique a tendance à garder le jeu verrouillé à environ 60 FPS. Mais sur le PC, ils ont constaté que même le RTX 2080 TI ne pouvait pas supporter 60 images par seconde à 4K avec des réglages maximums sans résolution dynamique activée, mais qu'il était toujours aussi beau lorsqu'il était allumé, tandis que le Ryzen 3 2200G, relativement dimunitif, pouvait toujours lancer le jeu à 60 FPS. Découvrez l'badyse ci-dessous:

Il est difficile de définir les limites supérieure et inférieure de DRS, mais prenons l'exemple de la PlayStation 4 Pro: Titanfall 2 semblait fonctionner principalement dans une plage allant de 1080p à 1440p. Nous pensons que la limite supérieure est similaire pour Apex Legends, mais la résolution a tendance à pbader plus de temps dans la zone 1080p et nous avons même vu le «PS4 suralimenté» atteindre 900p également. La Xbox One X suit les mêmes principes mais offre une avancée supplémentaire, pbadant plus de temps sur le territoire de 1296p, tout en offrant une distance de tir étendue. Comme prévu, les consoles de base subissent un autre choc, au point que nous avons même constaté des résolutions aussi bbades que 720p sur la PlayStation 4 et 648p sur Xbox One … Visuellement, Apex Legends est un triomphe de la direction artistique intelligente par rapport à la technologie. .
