    ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Video Card Review

    There's no reason getting a 4070TiS or 4080S because they are completely OOS everywhere other than China.

    AMD RX 9070 XT with 32 GB GDDR6 VRAM Is Reportedly in the Works to Sway Consumers Needing More Memory

    Then make your dataset work within it's specifications. There's zero reason a gaming card like the 9070XT should have 32GB of VRAM it'll never be able to utilize in gaming, just to drive up the cost so a very small percentage of people can "tinker".

    AMD RX 9070 XT with 32 GB GDDR6 VRAM Is Reportedly in the Works to Sway Consumers Needing More Memory

    If that's the case you aren't exactly buying gaming cards for that workload. You're buying Radeon Pro's or Nvidia Ava's or H100's for DC's. Right tool for the job.

    Production of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs Increased Due To Less-than-Expected Demand for Blackwell Datacenter GPUs, It’s Claimed

    Never trust Nvidia. They've been deceptive, manipulative and downright criminal since the mining craze of 2016/2017. Same with the AIB's.

    EK Introduces EK-Quantum Vector³ Water Blocks for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 GPUs, Featuring Acrylic or Acetal Tops, a Durable Nickel-Pl...

    Even if they do produce those products unlikely they'd be available in the U.S. as they lost their U.S. manufacturing and distribution. Last I heard the building was abandoned.

    Testing Shows Recent NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 FE Cable Meltdown May Be Due to Uneven Power Distribution

    Yup, the old Deskstar drives. As said they were fine if you never turned them off. lol

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series GPUs Surface at Canadian Retailer for $839 CAD (~$586 USD) to $1,239 CAD (~$865 USD)

    "having inventory" could mean anything though. 1 card is technically inventory.

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series GPUs Surface at Canadian Retailer for $839 CAD (~$586 USD) to $1,239 CAD (~$865 USD)

    I hope they delayed release so they could actually have inventory to ship. If it's another paper launch with a couple hundred units what's the point?

    Graphics Card Manufacturers Raise Prices for RTX 5080 and RTX 5090 Premium Models to Astronomical Levels as MSRP Becomes a Mythical Beast

    Why let scalpers have all the fun when they can scalp the cards themselves! That's what I get out of it since tariffs have not been raised/enacted yet.

    They're launching it. Says so right there on that piece of paper. See? Right there! On the paper! Launched! :ROFLMAO:

    AMD Radeon RX 9070 Series Will Go on Sale in Early March, Bringing “Significantly” Better Ray Tracing Performance and 4K Gaming to Mainstream P...

    If they're targeting creators they better have encoding performance on par with the NVENC capabilities of the 5070 Ti. That's been the biggest thing pushing people to Nvidia. NVENC H.264 works amazingly well for a single PC setup streaming to Twitch/YT. While AMD's solution is lack luster or...

    AMD 9800X3D Is the Biggest Seller of the Zen5 Series as Retailer Reports AMD Processors Account for over 90% of Its CPU Sales

    I have a feeling AMD is holding on to the 9900/9950 X3D parts to see if Intel drops something or releases a BIOS/driver update to increase performance of their existing chips. Then AMD can drop the bomb on them with stock ready to ship. And if Intel doesn't then the new parts release end of...

    AMD Will Be Holding a Press Conference for the Radeon RX 9070 Series and RDNA 4 in Late February, It's Claimed

    If AMD doesn't ship 10's of thousands of units they'll have already failed.

    EA Plans to Bring Need for Speed Back in “New and Interesting Ways” as It Moves Criterion to Battlefield, Marking the End of Content for NFS Un...

    I've played the hell out of Forza Horizon 5. Yeah it's arcadey. But it's fun. Haven't played a NFS game since Hot Pursuit. I tried their latest one and couldn't get it to work right with my wheel and pedals. It was weird, I'd get great FPS until I stepped on the throttle then FPS would tank to...

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D Users Say Their “Blackwell” GPUs Failed After Installing the Latest Driver: “It Became a Brick”

    Are you being serious? Every new to market GPU requires the latest driver.

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Founders Edition Video Card Review

    I'm grabbing one tomorrow. Any way I slice it it'll be a massive improvement over my 2080 Ti. The latest gen NVENC encoders is icing on the cake for me. I'm also going to put it on water, and if needed overclock it. I wish reviewers would including encoder performance from gen to gen. I know...

    2560x1600 would be the sweet spot for me. Sadly no one makes one outside of small portable monitors. Dell used to make them until last year.

    NVIDIA Expects “Significant Demand” for the GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 as People Begin Camping Out for “Blackwell” GPUs at Micro Center: “...

    This was expected. Even MSI said there weren't going to be many units shipped since they didn't receive many from Nvidia. I'm sure Der8aur, J2C, GN, HU and rest of the influencers are enjoying their free cards.
