GeForce RTX 50-series
Hardware, storefront and ecosystem news for GeForce RTX 50-series.
Nvidia's RTX 50 Super GPUs will allegedly show up in early 2027, but I'd be surprised if PC players are…Fresh rumors suggest Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50 Super graphics cards may launch in early 2027, contradicting earlier claims of a 2026 release. The upcoming GPUs are expected to feature GDDR7 VRAM, with potential models including an 18GB RTX 5070 Super and a 24GB RTX 5080 Super. The article questions whether PC players will find the new cards compelling given current pricing trends.
Tech leaker claims that the RTX 50 Super refresh is still on, despite the RAMpocalypse, and it'll be joined by a 12…Despite previous rumors of cancellation due to the 'RAMpocalypse,' a tech leaker suggests Nvidia is still planning a Super refresh for its RTX 50-series graphics cards. This refresh is expected to include models like the RTX 5060 with 12GB of VRAM, potentially utilizing GDDR7 memory modules to increase capacity.
The blower is back: Cooler Master has made a GPU accessory that pushes hot air outside your case rather than onto your…Cooler Master has reintroduced the blower-style GPU shroud with its new MasterFlow accessory, designed to exhaust hot air directly out of the PC case. This aims to prevent GPU heat from negatively impacting CPU temperatures, potentially offering a four to six degree improvement. While currently planned for use in prebuilt systems, there is hope for a consumer release.
This supply chain Sankey diagram for an Nvidia AI megachip is a handy guide to understanding just how easy it is to ruin…A Sankey diagram from Veridion illustrates the complex supply chain for Nvidia's H200 AI megachip, highlighting components also relevant to common graphics cards from manufacturers like TSMC, Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron. The article discusses how disruptions or price increases from key suppliers can significantly impact the cost and availability of PC gaming hardware.
It looks like Nvidia's AI inference GPU won't see the light of day this year, which could actually be good…Nvidia's dedicated AI inference GPU, Rubin CPX, is reportedly cancelled or significantly delayed, with no PCB or GDDR7 orders indicating a halt in production. This development, potentially linked to a licensing deal with Groq, could positively impact the pricing of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards by alleviating VRAM supply constraints.
If this breakdown of the full cost of producing your favourite graphics card is accurate, then prices for certain GPUs are going to make 64 GB DDR5 kits look cheapA breakdown of graphics card production costs suggests that prices for certain GPUs, particularly high-end models, are set to increase significantly. Factors like DRAM shortages, increased wafer prices from TSMC, and rising shipping costs are contributing to these hikes, with some cards already exceeding MSRP and more price surges expected.
Data, not guessing: Looking at Nvidia's past GPUs to predict the specs for its future RTX 60-series graphics cardsThis article analyzes Nvidia's past GPU development trends to predict the specifications for future RTX 60-series graphics cards. It examines factors like process nodes, die density, CUDA cores, cache, and AI capabilities, suggesting potential increases in transistor counts and performance while considering cost and competition.
Nvidia's very keen on you 'catching the future of real-time rendering' at this year's GTC, though I suggest not waiting with bated breath for anything groundbreakingNvidia's CEO Jensen Huang is expected to discuss the future of real-time rendering, likely focusing on AI integration within the graphics pipeline, at the upcoming GTC event. While the exact announcements are speculative, potential topics include AI-driven path tracing improvements and new DLSS features, though new hardware releases like the RTX 50-series Super refresh seem unlikely due to DRAM shortages.
