Helldivers 2 has a new update that aims to improve the extraction shooter's performance, a source of some woe lately among Super Earth's democracy-managers. …
… Performance is largely similar between the two cards at 1440p and 4K, although the RTX 5070 nonetheless supplements strong mid-range performance with Nvidia's multi-frame-gen tech and the new DLSS Transformer model for better resolution of fine detail. …
