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......

Exactly what gamers need when nvidia struggle to gobble up enough vram and at reasonable prices. China... They will get exactly what they want with big help from the US adm. And in the huge quantities they need. "The more you buy, the more you save". GeForce RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti and even 5060 Ti are now sold in blower-style designs for AI farms Blower-style GeForce cards built for AI workloads are showing up for sale in bulk on Chinese marketplaces. We have seen this idea in renders for a while. Now there are listings that look like real stock, not one-off mods RTX 5090 32GB : 28,999 CNY (about $4,156). RTX 5090D 32GB : 26,999 CNY (about $3,869) RTX 5090D V2 24GB : 23,999 CNY (about $3,439) And if the xx90 series is too expensive. You can get 16GB cards for your AI farms. RTX 5080 16GB : 8,988 CNY (about $1,288) RTX 5070 Ti 16GB : 7,699 CNY (about $1,103) RTX 5060 Ti 16GB : 3,999 CNY (about $573) No problem get cards if you pay enough. Also MSI want their share of the cake. Jazzed up $2000 cards with fancy coolers, screen and RGB turn into ++$4000 purchases finally get meaning. Even $2500 for each of the better custom cards would provide nice profit margins. Greed have no limits. MSI GeForce RTX 5090 LIGHTNING has three variants, LIGHTNING X model also revealed MSI’s RTX 5090 LIGHTNING lineup is not a single card. MSI now lists two retail models: GeForce 5090 32G LIGHTNING X (G5090-32LX) and GeForce RTX 5090 32G LIGHTNING Z (G5090-32LZ). A third variant, called the LIGHTNING Z OCER (no product code and no listing on the official site), is a special version designed specifically for overclocking the elite/the chosen ones. These cards will not go on sale, and they are not easy to find or buy. Overclockers almost never sell them.

You can't trust Microsoft anymore. All they really want is your data/privacy for their AI training. Of course the satisfaction rating is now lower than ever. Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why Files can be permanently deleted if you aren't careful "At some point your computer will update to start using OneDrive, and at no point will you be given any kind of plain-language warning or opt-out, it will just do it. At some point you will notice that it is quietly uploading everything on your computer to Microsoft's servers."

Dell admits customers are not buying PCs based on AI videocardz.com Very useful. Grok is generating thousands of AI "undressing" deepfakes every hour on X "X, the deepfake porn site formerly known as Twitter"

LOL. So the buy and notify me message is the same. I have seen people said no stock even if it say BUY. Nice, click the buy button then come to notify me "out of stock". Disgusting. AMD could also have stayed away from CES this year.

Latency shouldn't be a problem. If gamers are forced to play in the cloud forwards it doesn't really matter anyway. ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX™ 5090 is right now available in Asus US Store for the steal of $1,999.99 https://www.asus.com/us/motherboards-components/graphics-cards/all-series/filter?Category=NVIDIA&Spec=354488

What a failure. Band aid fix for something that should be fixed by nvidia before they release new gen graphics cards. And Nvidia.... Nothing is wrong🙄 Stupids! I expect next gen graphics cards will get same/similar band aid fix. Warning (beeps from a buzzer on the gpu), then shutdown a couple of minutes after). The tiny connector will introduce more expensive graphics cards. We already see it with the Astral and the per pin monitoring feature. Come on.... Make a connector that just works. No more band aid fixes. Introducing GPU Safeguard+: Advanced GPU Protection on MSI Next-Gen Power Supplies The RTX 5090 Matrix is available for €5999 at Infomax! Now, we know that graphics card prices are rising due to the current chaos in the memory sector. However, when you consider that LDLC was already selling this model for €4399 in November , seeing it now at €6000 is painfully ironic.

I'm sure Jensen will push their engineers hard to make the 3060 as a amazing purchase. Gamers will be trilled for a bargain. Also DDR4 will come back. What next? Community tests confirm DLSS 4.5 yields 20%+ performance loss on older RTX 30 and 20 series GPUs compared to DLSS 4.0

Are you ready to bench worlds first MFG integrated graphics? But you'll buy thin & light. Or better known as JOKEBOOKs. A real replacement for desktop graphics cards. Can't beat fake frames and AI. I will wait in anticipation for your results 🙂

The stupid government.
