Princess Peach: Showtime! is already playable on PC via Nintendo Switch emulator Ryujinx with over 60fps
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/princess-peach-showtimepc-nintendo-switch-ryujinx-60fps/
Nintendo has just released Princess Peach: Showtime! on Nintendo Switch and, to the surprise of no one, the game is already playable on PC via emulators. To be more precise, the Nintendo Switch emulator Ryujinx can run the game with over 60fps.
(...)
Princess Peach: Showtime! is powered by Unreal Engine 4 and from what we see, it does not push the Nintendo Switch hardware to the limits. However, this game comes with an amazing art style. This is to be expected as most “Mario” games follow the same tech formula.
As showcased in the following video, an Intel Core i9-14900K with an ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 can run the game at around 90fps. GPU utilization is at 39% so no, this game won’t be taxing any high-end or mid-tier GPUs.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 DLSS 3 Frame Generation Mod Released
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/dragons-dogma-2-dlss-3-frame-generation-mod-released/
Capcom has just released Dragon’s Dogma 2 on PC and in a matter of hours, modder PureDark released a free DLSS 3 Frame Generation Mod for it.
Although NVIDIA claimed that the game would support DLSS 3 from the get-go, there is currently no support for it. My guess is that Capcom will add it via a post-launch update. So, for now, you’ll need this mod in order to improve the game’s performance.
Now contrary to PureDark’s previous DLSS 3 Mods, this is free to everyone. Yep, you read that right. You can go ahead and download this must-have mod from his Patreon page. And no, you won’t have to pay the modder so that you can gain access to it.
