NVIDIA's newest budget gaming GPU is notable for a couple of reasons. For one, the freshly-minted GeForce RTX 5050 is the first xx50 model GPU since the GeForce RTX 3050 (NVIDIA never released a GeForce RTX 4050, and instead the GeForce... Read more...
As of this moment, NVIDIA's stack of desktop graphics cards for gamers based on Blackwell stands six models high, or seven models if you count the 16GB and 8GB variants of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti separately. However you want to audit the... Read more...
A new rumor suggests that an upcoming NVIDIA graphics card will feature 96GB of GDDR7 memory, if data uncovered on a shipping manifest proves accurate. The document seemingly confirms a 512-bit memory bus, suggesting the card will use a... Read more...
As we approach CES 2025 in January, the hype for NVIDIA's next generation GPUs are starting to build. NVIDIA even has a hype meter for the highly-anticipated GeForce RTX 50 series product launch, which we've yet to see many details of... Read more...
One of the main appeals of GPU refreshes is the type of RAM configuration that will accompany next-generation products. To that end, Samsung is laying claiming to the "industry's highest capacity" GDDR7 with what it says are the first... Read more...
As the end of the year quickly approaches, new tidbits of information start to indicate what NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 series may be like. While a 2024 release is unlikely, all hints point to a potential announcement at CES 2025 in January... Read more...
There are basically three important characteristics for a memory technology: its latency, its bandwidth, and the power it uses. Disparate workloads have differing requirements, though. Graphics, generally speaking, cares relatively little... Read more...
As GPU enthusiasts prepare for the next generation, one key aspect that drives excitement comes down to VRAM. Micron, one of the biggest memory manufacturers, is touting GDDR7's improved performance. With as much as a supposed 30% uplift... Read more...
Micron just announced that it is now sampling GDDR7 SDRAM to customers. This means that if you are building products that can make use of bleeding-edge memory technology, the fastest RAM in the world is available to you for testing and... Read more...
NVIDIA has been blazing a significant trail in its push with AI and data center GPUs, but that does not mean it's forgotten gamers. With the GeForce RTX 40 Super GPUs behind us, all eyes are pointed towards the next-generation GeForce RTX... Read more...
It's clear by now that consumer graphics card will continue to be fed by Graphics Double Data Rate (GDDR) memory standards rather than making the leap to High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), the latter of which is more costly and more suitable for... Read more...
There are a few key specifications that heavily influence the performance of a graphics card. GPU fillrate—the rate that it can "fill" polygons with color—is a major one. GPU compute throughput is another, and arguably more important in... Read more...
Samsung just annoucned its next-generation HBM3E "Shinebolt" and GDDR7 memory. While Samsung may have lagged behind rival memory manufacturers SK Hynix and Micron in launching HBM3E, Shinebolt is poised to be the fastest HBM3E for the high... Read more...
It still feels like we're getting our feet wet with the latest-generation graphics cards from AMD and NVIDIA, the former of which just expanded its lineup with the Radeon RX 7800 XT and Radeon RX 7700 XT at Gamescom. Be that as it may... Read more...
Micron just put out a press release crowing about its latest achievement: 8-high HBM3 Gen2 memory stacks with up to 24GB of capacity and a 50% improvement in per-pin transfer rate over extant HBM3. That raises the data rate to 9.2 Gbps... Read more...
Samsung is claiming a key victory against rival Micron in the race to bring next-generation graphics memory to market. While not exactly stated in so many words, what Samsung did say is that it has wrapped up development of what it is... Read more...
Every major graphics product out right now uses either GDDR6, GDDR6X, or HBM3 memory, and the latter option only really exists for super-computing chips like NVIDIA's Hopper H100, AMD's Instinct MI250X, and Intel's Data Center GPU Max... Read more...
A report emanating from a Chinese tech news source asserts that the next generation of NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards are “expected” to come packing GDDR7 memory. It is also claimed that the next-gen NVIDIA lineup, unsurprisingly referenced... Read more...
We have only now entered into the era of DDR5 memory with the introduction of Intel's Alder Lake platform pushing us through the door, and it will take some time for the latest memory standard to gain significant traction. That's to say... Read more...
