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.

Micron Technology, Inc. (MU): 'It's The Old Micron!' Says Jim Cramer
Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) is one of the . Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) is the only American company that makes and sells leading-edge memory chips. This provides the firm with a wide moat at least when it comes to domestic exposure particularly due to President Trump's efforts to expand US manufacturing. Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU) is also NVIDIA's only American supplier of high-end memory chips to NVIDIA for the latter's high-end AI GPUs. The firm's shares have gained 42% year-to-date, with a fresh catalyst being its fiscal third-quarter earnings report which saw Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU)'s $9.3 billion in revenue and $1.91 in earnings beat analyst estimates of $8.87 billion and $1.60. The firm's $10.7 billion in guidance also beat estimates of $9.88 billion. Cramer discussed the stock's recent performance ahead of interviewing its CEO: 'You know David, about a year and half ago, I tried to get Sanjay Mehrotra to say incredibly bullish things. He pulled me back. He said, Jim it's not there yet. I'll tell you when it's there. Well, you know what, it's there now. Micron shares, moving higher after beating the top and bottom line. Shares now up more than 55% year-to-date. It's the old Micron!' A close-up view of a computer motherboard with integrated semiconductor chips. Earlier, Cramer discussed Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:MU)'s share price performance: 'I think it is getting a little toppy. I think the market's getting a little toppy and Micron's going to go with it. Now, it went down to 66. I think it could go down to 80 without a problem, and then you'll probably want to buy it again. But I sense that there is a trade here, not an investment, for the moment, and you need to do a little [kaching kaching].'
