NVIDIA's hardware partners have a little bit of pricing wiggle room between the GeForce RTX 4080 (the real one) and GeForce RTX 4090, with $400 separating their $1,199 and $1,599 MSRPs, respectively. As is typically the case, you can expect some factory-overclocked and custom-cooled GeForce RTX 4080 cards to come with...

NVIDIA's recent high-end graphics cards from the GeForce RTX 3000 and 4000 series use a new 12 or 16-pin connector that is known as 12VHPWR. The implementation of the connector on the RTX 3000 cards was fine, but since the release of the GeForce RTX 4090, some users have been experiencing melting connectors and burned...

The third NVIDIA RTX 40 series GPU isn't due until 2023, according to a usually reliable leaker. Once we hit 2023, there won't be long to wait though, as the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is touted to become available on January 5, 2023.
If you haven't been following the Ada Lovelace GPU rollout news very closely, the...

NVIDIA has reportedly prepared a new variant of its Ampere A100 GPU for the Chinese market. Currently, and until March next year, Chinese businesses can still acquire A100 GPUs via official channels, but new US sanctions come into play before April, meaning that NVIDIA’s most powerful enterprise GPUs can no longer be...

We still have just over a week to go before NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4080 releases to retail (the real one rather than the version that could make a comeback as a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti). In the meantime, a user on Twitter has shared a few high-resolution photos of the printed circuit board (PCB) on the Founders Edition (FE)...

NVIDIA ultimately ended up de-launching its GeForce RTX 4080 with 12GB of GDDR6X memory after outspoken enthusiasts complained about the specs disparity between it and the burlier 16GB model. While the scaled down card might be gone, it's not forgotten. It also might be making a comeback under a completely different...

The new NVIDIA RTX 4090 is the undisputed king of PC graphics right now, but these spendy $1,600 cards may have a fatal flaw. Reports of melting 16-pin power adapters are piling up, and NVIDIA says it's investigating the issue—things might be getting even more complicated, though. Some users have started reporting...

Chinese graphics card maker Manli has prepared an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 design in a surprising form factor, producing a (relatively) slim blower cooled model. This is surprising on two fronts: firstly, the Ada Lovelace architecture RTX 4090 has pushed AIB partners to create some of the largest air cooling solutions...

Remember that ridiculous GALAX GeForce RTX 4090 HOF we told you about a few days ago? To the surprise of absolutely no one, that card has now been crowned the fastest GPU in the world thanks to some benchmarks performed under liquid nitrogen by hardy overclockers.
Elite overclocker OGS from Greece currently holds...

Everyone loves a nude photo shoot, right? Especially when it's obscene. As in, "obscenely-expensive computer hardware," that is. GALAX's upcoming GeForce RTX 4090 Hall of Fame (HOF) edition has one of the most brutally over-built boards we've ever seen, and it comes equipped with a pair of twelve-pin 12VHPWR...

A YouTuber has shared a video online demonstrating that it is perfectly feasible to indulge in some Genshin Impact PC gaming at '13K', and achieve an average of 30 frames per second, using one of NVIDIA's latest and greatest (and supremely power hungry) consumer GPUs. Of course, we are talking about the beastly NVIDIA...

In case you haven't heard, NVIDIA's recent high-end GPUs are using a new connector, known as "12VHPWR". That's "twelve-volt high power" in ATX-spec-speak, and it's a small plug with twelve pins that can supply up to 600 watts of power for thirsty graphics cards. The GeForce RTX 4090 includes an adapter that converts...

NVIDIA announced a temporary price cut to its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service today when signing up for six months of Priority-level access. Normally a six-month Priority membership would run $49.99 (versus $9.99 per month, which works out $59.94 for six months). But for a limited time, you can score a six-month...

According to Chinese-language site MyDrivers, the famed leather jacket aficionado (who also happens to be the CEO of NVIDIA) Jensen Huang recently returned from a trip to Taiwan. While there, he reportedly visited TSMC to ensure that his company would be among the first to have access to the foundry's 3nm process when...

GPU shoppers should be prepared for some new GeForce RTX 3060 SKUs to be released by NVIDIA's AIB partners shortly. We have spotted both an RTX 3060 Ti with improved bandwidth, and an RTX 3060 with narrower bandwidth, being listed in recent days. We are not fond of new models being released with very similar naming...

Back when we were hearing rumors about the GeForce RTX 4090's monstrous power draw, there were fears that the humongous current demands of the massive graphics processor could trip breakers or even start fires. These fears were amplified when Zotac warned of the concerning fragility of the 12VHPWR connector. Now...

Reports published by Chinese language computer media indicate that NVIDIA is re-prioritizing its GPU orders. According to unverified sources, it is claimed that NVIDIA is shifting its production mix in favor of enterprise GPUs. Specifically, it will be asking TSMC to produce more Hopper architecture H100 (GH100) GPUs...

Both major GPU vendors right now have either launched or are about to launch new graphics processors based on the latest process technology. NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace architecture has seen the light of day with the GeForce RTX 4090, and AMD's set to launch its Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs on November 3rd. As happens with...

The GeForce RTX 4090 is fast. Real fast. Fast enough that, even without DLSS upscaling—to say nothing of frame generation—you can play everything in 4K with the settings turned up to the ceiling. Despite that, it's not as fast as Ada could be, and there have been persistent rumors of a faster card waiting in the wings...

NVIDIA seemingly annoyed a few people with its decision to name two completely different Ada Lovelace graphics cards based on different GPUs both, "RTX 4080." The GeForce RTX 4080 16GB model uses the AD103 GPU and is significantly faster—according to NVIDIA's own data—than the GeForce RTX 4080 12GB model, which is...

Like death and taxes, you can always count on scalpers to crash the party without an invitation and ruin the fun for everyone else. You didn't really think they'd skip the release of the GeForce RTX 4090, did you? Of course not. This has prompted NVIDIA to test its own "Verified Priority Access" program similar to the...

Right on cue, NVIDIA has issued an updated GPU driver release to officially support its beastly new flagship graphics card, the GeForce RTX 4090. That's not all, though. The GeForce 522.25 WHQL driver release also purportedly includes key optimizations that could benefit GeForce RTX 30 series owners in a big way when...
