If/I mean when the bubble burst it will be harder for nvidia and AMD to bring back people over to even more overpriced GPUs. Many will most likely stay with their iGPUs/consoles. Everything come at a price. People won't pay extra premium for gamer cards due the AI bubble failure.

No problem. If the rumors is to follow then Nvidia will take the responsibility and help the gamers... So no need for next gen Intel iGPU If you can swallow the 8GB vram limit. NVIDIA reportedly shifts RTX 50 supply toward RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti 8GB in 2026

Yup. You may only need iGPU for gaming (sarcasm). You even get MFG from Intel iGPU. And yep, you get an (NPU) cpu in the package. Intel "Nova Lake" Xe3P iGPUs Could be 25% More Powerful Than Xe3 Models

What are Microsoft doing wrong? Force it on the users? If people really wanted Copilot AI they could download it as an free optional app from their trash-store. Pretty much no one is using Microsoft's Copilot AI, report suggests The AI assistant trails behind Grok, Claude, and Perplexity in market share—at least as far as web usage goes.

Can't beat going cheapo.

ID-Cooling Introduces IS-77-XT BLACK and FROST X55 Thermal Grease FROST X55 thermal paste is rated for 16.2 W/mK thermal conductivity, is non-electrically conductive and non-corrosive, and is designed to resist drying and pump-out effects for long-term thermal performance. It is available in Core, Luna, Poma, Bella, and Viola scent variants.

Microsoft continue improve their trashware. Microsoft confirms it’s killing offline phone-based activation method for Windows 11 after 20+ years

You can't do that. Don't spread this type of negativity. Jensen Huang says relentless negativity around AI is hurting society and has "done a lot of damage"

Of course it will be like this when all graphics cards being funneled into China. Nvidia's AIC partners sell to the grey market for higher profits. And we all know China is nvidia's preferred market. Where everything easly will sell out and make shortage in the global market. This of course will result in higher prices and bigger profit margins globally. Japanese retailer will buy almost any used gaming PC as new and used systems get harder to find A similar type of shortage is reportedly affecting the Japanese GPU market. A recent report says higher-end GeForce cards are selling out almost as soon as they arrive, with the weakest availability starting around the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB tier and above. Some retailers say restocks are hard to predict because the bottleneck seems to be further up the supply chain, and many stores have put purchase limits in place for all models

RebelsTool Shows How Linux Still Unlocks AMD GPU Power Controls Windows Can’t https://wccftech.com/rebelstool-shows-how-linux-still-unlocks-amd-gpu-power-controls-windows-cant/ A new Linux utility called RebelsTool is gaining attention as it introduces deep power and voltage control for AMD GPUs that is almost impossible with most Windows-based tools. It's developed and documented by Igor's Lab, and as explained in the blog post, the RebelsTool takes a different approach to increase the power limit for AMD RDNA GPUs. Unlike conventional tools, RebelsTool bypasses the traditional driver paths entirely and can directly interact with the hardware controllers.

@Mr. Fox when you thought you have seen the dumbest tech ever... 12v-2*6 cable adapers as replacements for real cables. COUGAR showed a 1200W PSU with six 16-pin power ports at CES 2026, and it is probably not what you think Well, the explanation is simpler than it looks. The six 12V-2×6 ports are PSU-side modular connectors that act as a shared interface. COUGAR’s bundle uses adapter cables that turn some of those ports into CPU EPS connectors, and others into PCIe 6+2-pin connectors for GPUs. For cards that use a 16-pin input, the same ports can stay 12V-2×6 on both ends. We don’t know, though, what would have happened if these conectors had only been used for GPU This one offer firecracker for all the tiny 12V-2*6 connectors on the PSU shroud🥴 Yup, the yellow tip from MSI stands out. And the pc consumers is their own enemy. 750W PSU should be fine for 5080 but that heavily depends on the quality of the SKU and the brand. After RAM and SSDs, PSUs and CPU coolers are next in line for price hikes......
