The great graphics card shortage of 2025 (yes, I'm officially dubbing it as such now, at least in reference to NVIDIA's newest generation GeForce RTX 50 series) is not only frustrating, it's also stalling growth in the PC GPU market, according to the latest report by the bean counters (or would that be chip counters?)...

One of the controversies surrounding the ongoing launch of the GeForce RTX 50 series concerns the fact that it has dropped hardware acceleration for PhysX effects in 32-bit games.

No, that headline isn't clickbait: in the midst of a graphics card market that continues to be an absolute disaster, ASUS is out here pitching a four-year-old GPU as “the best budget graphics card we offer in 2025 for gamers who prefer NVIDIA GPUs.” That kind of statement would be a joke coming from a site like ours...

The picture above is not a Photoshop job—or at least, if it is, we didn't make it. It comes from a Taobao listing for a listing that Google assures us is "RTX4090 Graphics Card Adapter 16PIN 180 Degree Graphics Card Power Steering Head Turbo Cooling 4080/4070."
