Graphics card pricing has reached unprecedented levels these days, thanks to a combination of an artificial intelligence (AI) gold rush, rabid demand by gamers, uncertainty over tariffs, and generally tomfoolery on the part of add-in board (AIB) partners.

Maingear might be best known for its elite lineup of custom desktop configurations like the Apex Force we reviewed a couple of months ago, but don't sleep on the boutique builder's laptop lineup.

You may have seen a few more NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs on store shelves and in stock lately.

Gigabyte is rolling out an ultra-burly desktop built around AMD's Ryzen Threadripper Pro processors, though curiously enough, it opted to stick with the previous generation Ryzen Threadripper Pro 7000 series lineup rather than the recently-introduced Ryzen Threadripper 9000 Pro series based on Zen 5. Even so, this is...

The main topics of discussion in the PC building world might be about GPU pricing and tariffs, but there's no denying that we're living in an age of seriously powerful hardware.

Folks, for those who care (like myself), the 18-inch laptop form factor is alive and well. Just ask Lenovo, which is rolling out a beast of a system in its new Legion 9i (18", 10).

The GeForce RTX 5090 has been rare to spot at retail (leading to things like NVIDIA's Priority Access Program), which makes the sighting of a version with an old school blower-style cooler design even more of a rarity. If you asked any gamer if they'd like a GPU with a noisier blower-style cooler and no aesthetics...

It's been about two and a half months since NVIDIA rolled out its flagship GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card to retail, and nearly as long since it brought back its Verified Priority Access lottery program to help gamers score a Founders Edition model direct from NVIDIA.

Yes, we're really at a point where spending $1,699 on a flagship graphics card would be considered a heck of a deal. Hell, even finding one priced at NVIDIA's baseline $1,999.99 MSRP (GeForce RTX 5090) would be considered a major score. With that in mind, don't fall for scammers on Amazon listing NVIDIA's top gaming...

Micro Center, a popular US retailer for PC hardware, apparently received a decent shipment of new high-end NVIDIA GPUs.

The general scarcity of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 series has created a market where GPUs are selling for insane prices at places like eBay. That's not the only thing driving up the cost, though. Over in China, smugglers are making some serious bank by selling illicit GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards at highly inflated...

Forget for a moment that it's almost impossible to find a GeForce RTX 5090 in stock or that pricing on some of custom models is way above NVIDIA's baseline MSRP for its Founders Edition variant. All that aside, ASUS is touting a rash of world overclocking records achieved with one of its more pricier models, the ROG...
