If you ask any PC gamer in 2025 if prices have risen for their hobby, chances are you'll get a thunderous 'YES' or, more accurately, 'Ugh, YES!'. Ask them which component is largely the culprit, and the graphics card will surely be at the top of the list. In both performance and pricing, NVIDIA leads the pack with its GeForce RTX 50 series Read more...
With recent GPU prices experiencing incredible surges, it's only fitting that at least they be made of solid gold, right? We're not far from that reality, with the ASUS ROG Astral Dhahab Edition GeForce RTX GeForce 5090 now available. This GPU is made to celebrate how fast the Middle East has advanced, with the theme...Read more...
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 is the most expensive gaming graphics card in history, and it's still one of the rarest to find in stock. With its significant specifications including a staggering 32GB of GDDR7 VRAM, it's been used for many other use cases, too (AI, content creation, and so forth). If you're looking for...Read more...
If you're a chip architecture addict, better brush up on your Chinese, as there's steamin' hot news about the Nintendo Switch 2's SoC to discuss. Youtuber GeekerWan got a hold of a dead, but fully assembled Switch 2 motherboard and has spilled the beans in great detail about the SoC therein.
Thanks to the help of a...Read more...
On paper, the launch of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 family brought the price of Blackwell to below $500. In practice, the GPU situation is what it is—'frustrating', if summing it up in a single word—but there is reason to be a bit optimistic. We're seeing more models listed at MSRP, availability be damned, and there's...Read more...
Chip smugglers have reportedly found all kinds of creative ways to sneak semiconductors into China, such as hiding them with live lobsters, inside fake baby bumps, and other means designed to evade customs and, more broadly, import and export restrictions. In an effort to crack down on chip smuggling, a U.S. lawmaker...Read more...
Butter. Corn on the cob. Potatoes. White wine. These are all things that pair nicely with lobster. But chips? Not so much, though when it comes to the non-edible variety (you know, semiconductors), there's a report claiming that smugglers are using live lobsters to sneak NVIDIA's AI chips into China. Is this really...Read more...
If the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 is too light for your senses, there's a new game coming that hearkens back to a time of doom and gloom. This gory gaming title is Doom: The Dark Ages, slated for release on May 15th with early access opening on May 13th. NVIDIA is pushing this game as its main bundled item for new...Read more...
There aren't any major triple-A games releasing this week that we are aware of (soon, though), but there is a new 'Game Ready' driver release by the folks at NVIDIA all the same. It's version 576.28, it's WHQL-certified, and it's yet another release that is brimming with bug fixes, most of which were made available in...Read more...
It looks like NVIDIA's driver team has been working overtime since the launch of the GeForce RTX 50 series, and especially in recent weeks. Following the launch of its 'Game Ready' 576.02 WHQL GPU driver chock full of bug fixes two weeks ago and a more recent hotfix GPU driver to address a handful of more issues...Read more...
NVIDIA is not yet finished fleshing out its GeForce RTX 50 series lineup based on its Blackwell architecture, and we're not just talking about more budget-oriented GPUs, either. If past launches are any indication, we can expect a Super refresh at some point. To that end, rumors are swirling of NVIDIA launching both a...Read more...
The Nintendo Switch 2 is a highly anticipated console, especially with Nintendo having gone a significant amount of time since the first Switch came out (to much acclaim).

Just days after NVIDIA began rolling out its 'Game Ready' 576.02 WHQL driver package that's packed to the brim with bug fixes, it's made available an out-of-band hotfix to iron out even more wrinkles related to its GeForce GPUs. The incremental release—hotfix driver version 576.15—is based on the same 576.02 driver...Read more...
On paper, it's hard to quibble with NVIDIA's pricing on its newly minted GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (see our review), even with much of the uplift over last-gen coming from DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation. The 16GB model at a $429 MSRP is actually $70 less than the launch price of the previous generation GeForce RTX 4060...Read more...
A new wave of GPUs is upon us, and this time it's the more affordable NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 family of products.

The Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 5060 Solo brings the Blackwell...Read more...

The GPU landscape has become difficult for gamers, with availability and pricing being of paramount concerns. Lurking in the shadows is another issue with a very small number of GPUs, mainly defective units, as is the apparent case with a GeForce RTX 5070 with a burned connector.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's recent appearance at a $1 million-a-head dinner at Mar-a-Lago may have influenced more than just the guest list.
