Framework has just launched a new graphics module featuring the RTX 5070 mobile 12GB, and it costs a cool $1,200, representing a 72% raise in pricing over the 8GB variant, that's $699. Both GPUs are identical apart from the memory capacity (and bandwidth), but Framework says pricing is out of its control.
Galax has moved under the direct control of Palit, owned by the Palit Group, but the brand itself isn't going anywhere. Official statements from both companies clarify that Galax will continue to design, produce, and release hardware like before, but will be managed by Palit now to streamline the business.
Lisuan Tech has secured Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) certification for its 6nm graphics cards, making it only the fourth company to ever do so.
Despite ongoing memory shortages, Nvidia has launched a higher-capacity 12GB trim of its RTX 5070 laptop GPU. The new part has 50% more capacity compared to Nvidia's existing RTX 5070 8GB model.
We go over every GPU in the RTX 30-series lineup to determine whether or not it's the right time to leave the Ampere platform for newer Blackwell and RDNA4-based pastures.
Northwest Repair was sent an Asus ROG Strix 4090 that had a dead core and memory chips with fake markings to make it look like the real thing. Unfortunately, there's no way of telling what these counterfeit parts actually were, but the main takeaway is just how good these scammers are getting as of late.
New leaks claim that Intel's upcoming Xe3P graphics architecture won't feature any discrete gaming GPUs, and even the next-gen Xe4 lineup isn't confirmed to. Intel is instead prioritizing the datacenter and workstation segments for new graphics IP, and is featuring them on mobile parts.
An RTX 5090 plugged into this eGPU using the CopprLink standard was able to get essentially the same level of performance as the GPU directly plugged into the motherboard. The setup requires a $1,300 enclosure and a $1,000 adapter card, and it's only meant for enterprise markets, but it shows what the future of eGPUs could be for consumers.
A research team at Specops benchmarked an RTX 5090, against two AI datacenter GPUs with Hashcat to see which GPU is the better password cracker. Spoiler alert, the RTX 5090 was the winner.
Intel's latest GPU driver is capable of booting Crimson Desert and can reportedly run at nearly 60 FPS at ultra settings on an Arc B580. But the game suffers from occasional crashing and visual artifacts.
Intel is working on its own neural texture compression with similar compression performance to Nvidia's counterpart. Best of all, Intel has a fallback version of its compression tech that will work with GPUs that don't come with Intel's XMX engine.
The company behind the tiny box AI accelerator says that its macOS driver for Nvidia eGPUs has just been signed by Apple, making it a legitimate software for Macs and no longer needs workarounds to work with the device.
Nvidia has just demoed its Neural Texture Compression technique again at a GTC talk, where it showed VRAM usage dropping from 6.5 GB to just 970 MB in a scene. NTC uses a neural network to decompress textures instead of standard block-based compression, reducing texture size and VRAM usage while also improving final image quality.
Two new Rowhammer attacks for GPUs have been discovered that can cause bit flips in VRAM to gain arbitrary read/write access over it. These attacks target page files and the page directory that are otherwise protected from electrical disturbance by the driver. By "massaging" these data structures into vulnerable regions where a bit flip can occur, the attacker can access even the CPU memory.
