Current AI chips face a transmission bottleneck where they’re pushing 200Gbps per lane, so even the slightest interference can affect performance. Possibly realizing that there needs to be a better way to maintain optimal server throughput, NVIDIA is reportedly looking at an unlikely material to tackle one of AI hardware’s biggest headaches: PTFE, better known by the brand name Teflon and as the coating on non-stick pans. PTFE wastes far less energy, making it suitable for achieving NVIDIA’s goals, but material complexity makes it difficult to…
Nvidia’s latest GeForce driver adds Advanced Shader Delivery, promising to cut the tedious wait while PCs compile shaders.
According to TeakTown Driver 621.01 introduces support for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and Gears of War: E-Day, with Windows 11 and the Xbox PC app required.
Microsoft’s technology can reduce shader compilation times by up to 95 per cent in supported games. That is a welcome improvement for anyone who bought a graphics card to play games and ended up watching progress bars. The system compiles shaders ahead of time…
While we see multiple reports indicating the discontinuation of the flagship Blackwell GeForce GPU, NVIDIA, on the other hand, denies such reports. NVIDIA's Jeff Fisher Says RTX 5090 isn't Discontinued After Acknowledging Supply Constraints Multiple Taiwanese publications have reported NVIDIA's refutation of reports that the RTX 5090 is being discontinued. If you have been following us, you must be aware that a few days ago, there were reports suggesting NVIDIA has ended the supply of the GeForce RTX 5090, the flagship Blackwell GeForce GPU,…
NVIDIA is on its way to release the refreshed RTX 5080 by discontinuing the existing one. Newer GeForce RTX 5080 With 24 GB VRAM Rumoredly Hitting Shelves in Q1 2027, Although Board Partners Haven't Received Any Development Information A few days ago, we reported that NVIDIA is discontinuing the flagship Blackwell gaming card, and at the same time, it's replacing the GPU sitting right below it in the tier list with a refreshed one. We are talking about the GeForce RTX 5080 card, which is the second most powerful Blackwell GeForce card in the…
The Hot Take: Mid-range only for us pleebs! We will own nothing soon enough.
Nvidia has reportedly ceased selling its GB202 graphics processors for consumer-grade GeForce RTX 5090-series add-in-boards (AIBs), including 'D' variants for the Chinese market, according to a leaked notice from an unknown factory cited by @hongxing2020, who tends to have insights into the graphics card market. Another prominent leaker @Zed__Wang confirmed the report and said that from now on the GB202 silicon will be exclusively used on data center and professional graphics cards."According to a notification from the factory, Nvidia will no…

The Hot Take: If true, definitely an opportunity for AMD to take the performance crown for a time.
With GPUs and memory chips in incredibly high demand, 2027 is shaping up to be one of the more unusual graphics card release cycles. NVIDIA has been dominating the segment for years, but if recent rumors suggesting that the RTX 60 series is delayed until 2028 turn out to be true, AMD could find itself in a unique position to lure users toward its upcoming cards.
A report says NVIDIA GPUs contain multiple embedded RISC-V cores that handle work outside shader computation, including functions related to graphics-driver execution.
The Hot Take: As expected, while they continue to squeeze out every dollar from Ai.
Both GPU giants are expected to skip 2027 for their next-generation of graphics cards, and only one configuration is expected to see its debut next year. Leaker Claims AMD and NVIDIA Planning to Launch Their Next-Gen Graphics Cards in 2028 While RDNA 2 AT2 GPU Launches in 2027 We have previously heard reports claiming that AMD is reportedly planning to launch its next generation of graphics cards in late 2027. Some reports claimed that the launch could be delayed until early 2028. Looks like we aren't getting the complete GPU family out until…
The Hot Take: Smh, I think we stop buying Nvidia to show them what we think on this. I'm tempted to go AMD...
The GeForce RTX 5090 is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the best graphics cards. However, you'd better pray the serial number on the inside of the metal bracket does not fade over time, since that could be a reason for Nvidia to reject warranty claims. At least one Redditor has shared a case of Nvidia reportedly denying a warranty claim because the bracket's serial number was unreadable.Go deeper with TH Premium: GPUs(Image credit: Noctua)Desktop GPU RoadmapNvidia's Enterprise GPU RoadmapTesting DirectStorage with GPU…
