Stellar Blade is set to run smoother than ever on PC as its multi-frame generation support promises to triple its frame rate, as long as you have the pricey hardware needed

Nearly a year after its original launch, there's not too much longer to wait for Stellar Blade to launch on PC, and it's now been confirmed that the action RPG will support the latest Nvidia tech on day one to make its frame rate juicier than ever.
Ahead of the PC port's release in June, Nvidia has confirmed that Stellar Blade will immediately support DLSS 4. For anyone with compatible hardware (specifically, the pricey GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs), the game will also boast Nvidia's new Multi Frame Generation tech that can generate "up to three additional frames per traditionally rendered frame."
Basically, it'll look extra smooth, and in the comparison trailer below, you can see the frame rate triple up to the high 300s at times, allowing the action to flow better than ever. This staggering fps isn't entirely consistent, but you can rely on it being significantly higher than the native frame rate (which, for what it's worth, also looks great in the video, falling around the 100-130fps range).
Beyond the Multi Frame Generation, Nvidia confirms in a blog post that Stellar Blade's DLSS 4 support means you can use Super Resolution to "further enhance image quality," while you can expect responsiveness to be improved by Nvidia Reflex (which reduces latency).
Unrelated to all the tech details, Stellar Blade's crossover DLC with Goddess of Victory – Nikke (also developed by Shift Up) is arriving in June, too. Although it's not clear exactly what that'll contain at this point, you can certainly look forward to some new outfits for Eve, like the 2B costume added in the NieR: Automata collab DLC.
It'll be interesting to see where Stellar Blade goes beyond this. Last May, it was revealed that Shift Up was already considering a sequel, and considering how popular the game has been, it'd really be no surprise if this happened. Kicking off this year, all of Shift Up's employees were reportedly given a $3,400 bonus and a PS5 Pro, so clearly, they were very happy with how things went last year.

Here's How Many Shares of Nvidia Stock You Should Own to Get $500 in Yearly Dividends

Spoiler: You'll need to buy a lot of Nvidia shares. And those shares will cost a lot. But you can get dividend income elsewhere and you might want to invest in Nvidia anyway. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › So you're looking for dividend income -- good for you! Dividend income can be a lifesaver in retirement and can provide cash for more investing when you haven't yet retired. You might also be wishing you were an Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) shareholder -- because, let's face it, who wouldn't want to be? The semiconductor company has been on a tear in recent years, growing like gangbusters and averaging annual gains of 75% over the past five years and 51% over the past 15 years. If you're thinking maybe you can combine your quest for dividend income and for Nvidia shares, you might want to think again, though -- because while Nvidia does pay a dividend, it isn't a very big one. It's currently a penny per share per quarter, totaling $0.04 per share over the course of a year. So if you're looking for, say, $500 in annual dividend income, you'd need a lot of Nvidia shares. Divide $500 by $0.04, and you'll get 12,500 -- which is the number of shares you'd need to own to generate $500 per year in dividends. Here's the catch -- with shares recently at $142 apiece, buying 12,500 shares would cost you nearly $1.8 million. That could certainly be a terrific investment, but it's not the most efficient way to produce annual income of $500. So look elsewhere for great dividend investments, but do consider investing in Nvidia. It used to be known as a maker of gaming-chip semiconductors, but it's now a titan in the world of data center chips (often used for artificial intelligence (AI) operations and even cryptocurrency mining). It may grow via acquisitions, too. Better still, Nvidia's stock seems reasonably valued at recent levels. Its recent forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 34, for example, is below its five-year average of 40. And its recent price-to-sales ratio of 24 is close to its five-year average, though that's quite a steep level.

New wave of Tech IPOs should find their home in London, says Head of Tech Sector at the London Stock Exchange

"Nvidia had $29 million of revenue at IPO, and Amazon had revenues of $16 million at the time they went public. London has all the potential to provide companies with this growth opportunity" says Neil Shah, Head of Tech Primary Markets at the London Stock Exchange. Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur United Kingdom, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Despite comprising only 1.4% of the 503 companies in the S&P 500 index of the largest US-listed businesses, the 'Magnificent 7' (Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Alphabet, Meta, and Tesla) were responsible for over 50% of the index's total gains - and over 75% of its earnings growth - in 2024. It's sometimes hard to believe how small some of those companies were when they first went public, especially when high profile US IPOs are now reserved for companies with revenues in the billions, not millions. "When I started out in investment banking at Thomas Weisel Partners in 2009," continues Shah, "there were software companies going public in the US with about $40 million in revenue. It is a very different picture today, that would just be impossible. It would probably still be impossible at $400 million in revenue. $400m of revenue a quarter, maybe, but not annually." But it is still possible in London. This may come as a surprise to the average Brit who may only come across the London Stock Exchange in the evening news summary of the FTSE 100 with its big banks, big pharma and miners. The London Stock Exchange team gets as excited about early stage growth companies as they do about unicorns. Most stock exchanges have left the messy business of young, growing scale ups to VCs or Private Equity. Not so in London. "AIM turns 30 this year. It is the world's most successful growth market and is run by the London Stock Exchange. Nominated advisers closely support companies not only through the IPO process, but thereafter. And some of the work required by a company to go public could potentially be done at a tenth of the cost of a US listing." "When companies choose to list in London, they can benefit from a full-time fundraising team in the form of the house broker retained by the company, meaning there is less of a burden on a company founder. And as public companies, they can also attract and incentivise talent in a liquid, transparent way that private companies cannot." Shah also believes that (along with a range of high-quality small cap funds and investors) Venture Capital Trusts, or VCTs - a unique British invention that combines the best of a Silicon Valley VC and a traditional small cap fund - offer an attractive alternative to more fashionable venture funding sources. The traditional venture capital model has fueled household name successes like Uber, Facebook and Zoom. But it has also given the world high profile failures like WeWork, Theranos and 23andMe. London's approach, where sensible valuations, supportive institutional investors and quality growth companies mingle, could be having its moment. AIM has supported some fantastic founder-led companies such as Craneware which went public with $15m of revenue in 2007 ($200m today) and Cerillion, which went public in 2016 with £14m of revenue and a £22m market cap. Today, it's worth over £450m. Nvidia founder Jensen Huang took to the stage at London Tech Week in mid June, saying "The UK has one of the richest AI communities anywhere on the planet... and the third largest AI capital investment of anywhere in the world." If Huang or Bezos were taking Nvidia or Amazon public today, they may be looking to the City, not Wall Street, for support. "British investors are really well-travelled. More than a third of our [London-listed] companies are international," says Shah. "It doesn't matter where you're from, you can be successful here."
