Intel today launched new 9th generation Core mobile processors, while NVIDIA unboxed brand new GeForce GTX 16 Series Turing GPUs for laptops. As you might expect, OEMs are refreshing their lineups around these new chips, and we got the chance to get some hands-on time with new hardware from ASUS. ASUS ROG Mothership At the top of the lineup is the ROG Mothership, which we first saw in January at CES 2019 with a factory overclocked Intel Core i9-8950HK processor running the show. However, this time around ASUS has upped the stakes with an available 9th generation Intel Core i9-9980HK. This 8-core/16-thread processor has a base clock of 2.4GHz, but can turbo boost...

Earlier this year at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2019), NVIDIA launched its GeForce RTX 20 Series mobility GPUs for gaming laptops. These Turing-based mobile GPUs brought top-notch gaming performance and hardware-accelerated real-time ray tracing with the GeForce RTX 2060, RTX 2070 and RTX 2080. Today, NVIDIA is pushing its mobility line-up a bit further downrange to hit better price points with Turing-based GeForce GTX products for laptops with its new GeForce GTX 1650 and GeForce GTX 1660 Ti GPUs. Just as on the desktop side of the equation, this new GeForce GTX 16 Series for laptops forgoes dedicated hardware to tackle real-time ray tracing and tensor cores for DLSS image...

So far, we’ve seen the arrival of two members of the GeForce GTX “Turing” family of graphics cards. The GeForce GTX 1660 Ti was the first to arrive, which was then followed up by the GeForce GTX 1660. The final and least powerful member of the family, the GeForce GTX 1650, has yet to be released, but is now turning up in benchmarks. The latest leak come courtesy of TUM_APISAK, who has been a frequent source of GeForce GTX Turing information. In this case, the GeForce GTX 1650 made an appearance on the FFXV benchmarks page, with results at 1920x1080 (High Quality) and 2560x1440 (Lite Quality) resolutions. At the 1920x1080, the GeForce GTX 1650 offers...

When NVIDIA launched its first trio of Turing GPUs – the GeForce RTX 2070, RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti – the headlining feature of the cards was their support for hardware-based real-time ray tracing. We’ve seen titles like Battlefield V and Metro Exodus make full use of real-time ray tracing to deliver ultra-realistic reflections, water effects, and shadows (among other visual effects) to enhance the gaming experience. The effects look amazing, but they require beefy hardware to extract acceptable performance. But given that ray tracing technology has been commoditized within DirectX 12 as DirectX Raytracing (DXR), it will soon possible for...

NVIDIA is expanding its Turing-based GPU lineup today and pushing its latest graphics architecture down into a more affordable price point. Although it does share some similarities with its predecessors, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti we will be showing you here is unlike all of the other Turing-based GPUs that have launched to date in a few meaningful ways. The fact that the card is branded a GeForce GTX, rather than a GeForce RTX, hints at the biggest difference – the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti doesn’t support NVIDIA’s RTX real-time ray tracing technology. What the GeForce GTX 1660 Ti does do, however, is incorporate all of the architectural efficiencies of Turing into an affordable...

It appears that Apple isn't the only company that is issuing revenue warnings for its most recent quarter; NVIDIA has added its name to the list as well. The company announced today that it has revised its revenue guidance for fiscal Q4 2019 from $2.7 billion down to $2.2 billion. The reason for the downward trajectory in revenue is twofold. For starters, NVIDIA says that its gaming business was impacted due to "macroeconomic conditions" in China. This was also one of the factors that Apple cited as a reason for its revenue shortfall. According to NVIDIA, demand for its gaming GPUs in particular took a hit. More importantly, demand in general was also soft for its brand-new Turing-based...

NVIDIA announced that it's now offering a bundle of rare Fortnite gear with GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, GTX 1070 and GTX 1060 graphics cards. The new gear includes a specialized Reflex outfit that comes equipped with a Response Unit on its back. The bundle also contains a Pivot Glider, an Angular Axe pickaxe and 2000 V-Bucks. With the exception of the 2000 V-Bucks, NVIDIA said that this gear will only be available as part of this bundle. NVIDIA also announced it would extend its Monster Hunter: World bundle which is available on the same GPUs. What's really interesting about NVIDIA's GeForce GTX Fortnite bundle is the timing. This bundle comes shortly after AMD started bundling a number of new...

NVIDIA CEO Jen Hsun Huang just delivered a keynote speech at Computex Taipei, during which he unveiled some new mobile technology designed to optimize game performance, in smaller notebook form factors than have been previously possible. NVIDIA calls the technology Max-Q Design, and it enables NVIDIA’s notebook partners to cram high-performance GPUs like the GeForce GTX 1080 into notebooks that are a fraction of the size of previous-gen offerings. Jen Hsun brought out a couple of system to illustrate the differences between older gaming notebooks and next-gen notebooks featuring Max-Q design. Although there are a myriad of designs on the market, with varying z-heights and form factors, etc.,...

There are plenty of ways to bling out your PC with an LED light show. You can install LED fans, cold cathode tubes, LED strips, and a few other options. Still not enough? Than perhaps you'll be interested to know that NVIDIA, for the first time ever, has begun selling GeForce GTX SLI LED bridges in 2-Way, 2-Way Spaced, and 3-Way Spaced configurations. You may have seen these same LED bridges in configured systems that were showcased during NVIDA's 24-hour PC gaming event called GAME24. Now's your chance to own one. The bridges are designed for GeForce GTX cards with SLI support -- specifically, GeForce GTX 770, GTX 780, GTX 780 Ti, GTX Titan, and GTX Titan Black, along with NVIDIA's recently...

By now, you know that Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan graphics are here. (Check out our in-depth look here.) Maingear is one of the system builders to get in early on the technology, and it’s touting GTX Titan in three systems, ranging from the space-conscious Potenza to the muscle PC SHIFT. Maingear's Potenza is a space-saver. The Potenza is a mini-ITX gamer (see our review) that takes up a mere 7.4 x 9.25 inches on your desk, so it’s not surprising that the system includes only one GTX Titan-based card. Maingear installed the motherboard so that hot air from the cards exhausts at the top of the computer, rather than the back. This SHIFT has three GTX Titans in SLI. Maingear also implemented...

In a surprising turn of events, NVIDIA-built graphics cards have begun popping up at Best Buy stores across the nation. This is decidedly odd for a company that's made billions of dollars designing GPU products while leveraging board partners to bear the cost of manufacturing and marketing them, but NVIDIA confirmed that this new Best Buy partnership is a new direction for the company. "NVIDIA and Best Buy are working together to offer PC customers the opportunity to experience firsthand the latest in PC technologies right inside Best Buy stores," a company representative said. "As part of this broad initiative, NVIDIA is supplying to Best Buy specific GeForce models built and supported by NVIDIA....
