We know with reasonable certainty that NVIDIA is planning to launch a new flagship graphics card in the not-too-distant future, and very likely the GeForce RTX 5090. There are too many leaks and rumors to suggest otherwise. What we don't know yet, at least not officially, is when exactly the GeForce RTX 50 series will...

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4090 is a powerful GPU, dominating the charts across virtually all games today (see our GeForce RTX 4090 review). The RTX 4090 variants found in mobile laptops, while still powerful in their own right, are not the same GPU with performance on a much lower tier compared to their desktop...

We never did end up seeing a Ti or Super variant of NVIDIA's flagship GeForce RTX 4090 like there was with the previous generation's top SKU (GeForce RTX 3090 Ti). That ship has sailed at this point and instead, all eyes are looking ahead to NVIDIA's next-generation Blackwell lineup. While we wait for the eventual...

NVIDIA reached out to ask if we wanted to test one of their RTX 40 Laptops "for STEM students," and my ears perked up. Not only because I'm two years into a Neuroscience PhD and enjoy being catered to by tech companies, but because this use case doesn't get a lot of attention compared to things like gaming...

These days, virtually every monitor—certainly every gaming monitor—supports at least some form of variable refresh rate technology. NVIDIA's G-SYNC was the pioneer, but AMD's FreeSync is far more ubiquitous largely due to its lower costs and less stringent requirements. Essentially, FreeSync simply requires a monitor...

NVIDIA's most powerful GeForce RTX graphics cards use GDDR6X memory as offers more stable signaling, in turn granting higher transfer rates—which is exactly why NVIDIA uses it. However, because the company's graphics cards are the only things that use GDDR6X memory—and the next-generation cards will use lightning-fast...

There are many reasons why a graphics card (or any hardware component) may run hotter than expected, which in turn can lead to unwanted throttling. Insufficient cooling, dust buildup, and overly aggressive overclocks are just a few examples. It could also be the result of poor quality and sloppily applied thermal...
