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.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 has become rare and difficult to get, but certainly not for everyone as an AI farm in Vietnam shows us.

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...

Maingear has once again retooled its sleek and well-crafted MG-1 desktop gaming PC lineup (see our review of a 2023 MG-1 config to see just how well put together these boutique machines are), this time with the latest generation CPU hardware from AMD and Intel, alongside NVIDIA's Blackwell-based GeForce RTX 50 series...

Micro Center, a popular US retailer for PC hardware, apparently received a decent shipment of new high-end NVIDIA GPUs. While store restocking is typically not newsworthy, the elusive GeForce RTX 5090 GPU certainly deserves a mention. Since its release in January, it has been consistently difficult to acquire for...

We made the trek out to HP Amplify this week (as well as NVIDIA's GTC conference), and while there, we got to to go hands-on with a beastly laptop configuration that is available to preorder.

This GPU generation has been quite the spectacle for the consumer. More accurately, we're the gladiators in the ring, with pricing becoming a daily battle. ASUS, one of the premium board partners for both NVIDIA and AMD, seems to be on the upward trajectory for its GPUs in terms of pricing. For context, NVIDIA's...

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...

It's been almost a month since the GeForce RTX 5090 and GeForce RTX 5080 landed on retail shelves, both of which sold out in all of a nanosecond (or at least it felt that way). In the days and weeks since, multiple retailers and add-in board (AIB) partners have implemented systems designed to get limited restocks in...

It turns out that a spattering of reports about some GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards shipping with missing render output unit (or raster operations pipeline) hardware were the result of a "production anomaly" and not an issue with the BIOS. NVIDIA said as much in a statement confirming a "rare issue" with some cards...

If you thought "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was an odd premise, wait until you get a load of the curious case of missing render output unit hardware (or raster operations pipeline, if you prefer—ROP from here on out) on some GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards that are out in the wild. One of the seemingly...

The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti came and went in similar fashion during its retail debut, and we suspect the non-Ti variant...

Whether retailers want to admit it or not, you have almost no shot of a bagging a GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card against the barrage of bots and scalpers that swoop in whenever there's an inventory refresh. Stock has been slightly better for the GeForce RTX 5080, but those are nearly impossible find at retail, too. In...
