We are still a little while away from Ryzen 7000HS-equipped laptops becoming available to consumers, but some already have these new-gen laptops on hand for testing. In a recently spotted benchmark run, we see the new Radeon 780M iGPU in action.  Over at Bilibili (via VideoCardz), a user shared what …

The Nvidia RTX 40 series and AMD Radeon RX 7000 series have finally made their first appearance on the Steam hardware survey. Out of all the new generation GPUs currently available, the RTX 4090 has the biggest share of users, but considering the RTX 4070 Ti released just a few …

In AMD's Q4 earnings release, Lisa Su admitted that AMD had been “undershipping” CPUs and GPUs to balance supply and demand in the last two fiscal quarters. Initially, some interpreted AMD CEO's words as the company intentionally doing it to keep prices high. Soon after, a representative clarified that the …

If you're curious about how the RTX 6000 Ada GPU would fare in gaming workloads, the recently leaked 3DMark Time Spy score hints at how it would perform. Despite its raw specs, performance is inferior to that of an RTX 4090, but that's only expected considering it only has a …

This week, Intel began rolling out a new graphics driver for its Arc GPUs. The driver launched earlier this morning, but it is only now that we can talk about the big improvements this driver brings. Since Arc's launch, Intel's engineers have been hard at work to polish up performance, particularly in DX9 titles. With this new driver, Intel has delivered up to 43 percent better performance in DX9 with smoother frame times too. 

Rumours so far have treated the RTX 4090 Ti and the Titan as one GPU, but the latest reports suggest that's not the case. As it seems, these will be two separate graphics cards using different boards, but still with similar specifications, except for the memory. When kopite7kimi shared the …

Nvidia unveiled the RTX 4070 Ti last month at CES and it seems the RTX 4070 won't be too far behind. According to recent reports, board partners are currently in the process of preparing custom RTX 4070 graphics cards, and we may already know the GPU's base and boost clock …

Acer took its first steps into the desktop graphics card market last year as an AIB partner for Intel. Now, the company looks to expand and may soon offer AMD Radeon graphics cards too.  According to ITHome (via Wccftech), Acer will join the ranks of AMD AIB partners this year. …

If you play games regularly, particularly multiplayer games, then chances are you have Discord installed. Unfortunately, a recent update to the app has introduced a bug that unintentionally harms Nvidia GPU performance.  The bug seems to have an impact on memory clocks, reducing them by up to 200MHz on a …

The first time we heard about the specific specifications for the RTX 4090 Ti/Titan was last Summer. Since then, not much has changed until just recently. As per the latest rumours, Nvidia has apparently updated a few things on the GPU's spec sheet, including the board and the memory subsystem. …

While Nvidia has yet to announce a gaming graphics card utilising the full AD102 GPU, it does appear that the company is cooking something up. Following on from previous leaks, new images show a massive quad-slot design graphics card, possibly set to launch as the RTX 4090 Ti, or as …

AMD Radeon RX 400 and 500 series GPUs are not new by any means. They've been available for over five years and have done a terrific job for many users who still rely on them to this day. However, the release of Forspoken might suggest the end for these GPUs …

Up to now, the only known Intel Arc GPU with 16 Xe-cores is the A550M for laptops. However, a new and unknown Intel Arc GPU packing the same number of Xe-cores has now been spotted, but unlike the A550M, the high clock speeds suggest it's a desktop card. The card …

Apple's new M2 Max seems quite promising on paper. However, according to a recently spotted GPU benchmark, it may not meet the high expectations some were putting on it. As of now, we can't say much about its CPU performance, but thanks to the Geekbench OpenCL entry spotted by Wccftech, …

Liquid metal is known to be an extraordinary thermal conductor, but if not used properly, it can do more harm than good. One example of misusing this thermal product is to transfer heat from a chip to an aluminium heatsink, as you can see in Der8auer's latest video. Liquid metal …

We've known about Nvidia's GDDR6X RTX 3060 Ti for a while now, but due to limited availability, the latest revision has not seen much public testing. That is starting to change, with one new review arriving, revealing a small performance bump over the original RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6 memory.  …

As AMD and Nvidia have mostly stopped releasing MXM-based products, we thought the standard would be dead by now for GPUs. However, that doesn't seem to be the case, as Intel and Gunnir have just made an Arc A380 GPU available using that form factor. As spotted by BionicSquash, Gunnir …

External GPUs have become a great way to give some extra oomph to the graphics capabilities of a laptop. Pairing a desktop RTX 4090 graphics card with a laptop using an iGPU will definitely improve graphics performance. Still, due to the limited maximum bandwidth of eGPU enclosures, you might end …

This week, new rumours regarding Nvidia's RTX 4060 Ti GPU have hit the web. As per the latest reports, the upcoming mid-range graphics card will deliver the same performance as the RTX 3070, but at a lower price. Unfortunately, it's not yet clear exactly how much less it will cost. …

Nvidia's discrete MX laptop GPUs don't top the performance charts, but historically they've still provided a bit more grunt than a mobile CPU's iGPU. iGPUs are getting better and better however, and now they're often replacing the MX series in laptops that you would expect to have a dGPU. As …

Early rumours suggested the RTX 4060 Ti was likely to ship with a 220W TDP, which perhaps did seem a touch high for a xx60-series class of GPU. New information has come to light however, and the leaker who shared the previously-reported specs has now updated the TDP, which has …

As far as we know, all Nvidia RTX 4080 graphics cards use AD103 GPUs. Up until now, the only variant of this GPU used for the RTX 4080 was AD103-300, but it seems a new AD103 configuration is in the works. This new variant is known as AD103-301, and it …

It's been widely reported that Radeon RX 7900 series GPUs are not as efficient initially hoped, with the GPUs consuming more power than expected while playing videos and games with an unlocked framerate. AMD has been aware of that fact for some time and has since released a graphics driver …

We check out Palit's flagship 4070 Ti, assessing thermals, overclocking and more

MSI Afterburner is probably the most popular GPU overclocking tool out there, but according to its developer, it may soon be dead. MSI, however, says otherwise, as the company is trying to keep things going with the dev in question. In a comment on the Guru3D forum, Alexey “Unwinder” Nicolaychuk, …

Nvidia AD104-based graphics cards are already available with the release of the RTX 4070 Ti, but it seems there are a couple more coming in just a few months. It hasn't been confirmed which exactly SKUs these are, but the most likely scenario is that we're talking about RTX 4070 …

It's always a nice surprise when a new GPU driver drops and offers an increase to your gaming performance. Nvidia is reportedly readying something even more significant however, as a recent report claims the company plans to launch graphics drivers with AI optimisations to areas such as "instructions, throughput, hardware utilisation, threading, [and] settings"...

We've been hearing about 7900 XTX reference cards with very high junction temperatures for a few weeks, and AMD has now responded. Speaking with PCWorld, Scott Herkelman, senior VP and GM at AMD Radeon, confirmed there is indeed a batch of AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX reference graphics cards with …

Following the success of the Asus x Noctua RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 graphics cards, both companies have decided to work together once again to release an RTX 4080-based card. On the outside, the card looks a lot like the previous Noctua cards, but there are significant differences under the …

Just as promised, last night AMD went live with its CES 2023 keynote, unveiling new hardware for laptops, new Ryzen AI technology and a new wave of Ryzen processors for desktops.  In recent days, we've seen companies like Asus announcing laptops with new Ryzen ‘Zen 4' processors. Now at AMD's …
