We recently tested an RTX 2080 that kept on overheating no matter what. James decided to take it apart and found something he had never seen before - one of the heatpipes appears to have corroded and is now leaking fluid onto the GPU itself...

The GPU market might be improving, but generally, consumers are still dealing with inflation. The new entry-level Radeon RX 6400 is expected to launch soon, but some regions may face abnormal prices. This was the case for the MSI Radeon RX 6400 Aero ITX, which was listed at a higher …

Up to now, most TUF Gaming graphics cards from Asus have used a triple-fan design, but this can be overkill for lower TDP GPUs like the RTX 3050. With that in mind, the new RTX 3050 TUF Gaming has been redesigned with a dual-fan cooler.  Asus will be releasing two …

There was concern over Intel's Arc Mobile GPU launch this week, as few OEMs have begun announcing new laptops with Arc graphics equipped. The first Intel Arc laptops are on the way though, with the first units from Samsung arriving in South Korea, with other OEMs expected to launch new laptops 'in the coming weeks'. 

When Intel launched its Arc Alchemist mobile GPU line-up, availability for Arc 3 powered laptops wasn't supposed to be far behind. However, there has been a weird absence of new laptops. Now, it looks like the first Intel Arc A-series laptops won't be available for quite some time. 

When Intel revealed the specifications of the Intel Arc A-series mobile GPUs, many commented about the relatively low ‘graphics clock'. As it turns out, clock speeds are reported differently on Intel's GPUs compared to Nvidia and AMD graphics cards.  During an interview with HotHardware (via Tom's Hardware), Intel's Tom Petersen …

Given the continued lack of retail availability and astronomically high prices of graphics cards, it might be hard to believe that GPU shipments actually grew in 2021. Still, it appears this was indeed the case, with researchers finding that there was a 30% gain in the number of GPUs shipped …

You may know by now that Intel's mobile discrete GPU offerings are based on two distinct units: the ACM-G10 with 32 Xe-cores and ACM-G11 with 8 Xe-cores. However, it seems there will be a third unit, presumably called ACM-G12, with 16 Xe-cores.

Samsung foundries have produced most, if not all, Nvidia current-gen graphics cards, but that may change soon. As per a new report, Nvidia will opt for TSMC as the foundry for its chips in 2022, meaning the RTX 40 series and H100 GPUs will be based on TSMC's nodes. According …

Intel launched the first Arc A-series mobile GPUs earlier this week, but we have yet to see many head to head comparisons against AMD and Nvidia laptop GPUs. AMD decided to change that by publishing its own benchmark results, comparing the Intel Arc A370M to the Radeon RX 6500M.  The …

Intel only officially announced the Arc mobile GPU series a couple of days ago, but someone has already tested the entry-level A350M on 3DMark Firestrike and Time Spy. Based on the benchmark results, Intel's new mobile GPU seems on par with the Nvidia GTX 1650 Max-Q, matching some early rumours about its performance.

You might've already heard that the Nvidia RTX 3090 Ti is a power-hungry GPU. As such, it needs a decent cooling solution to keep temperatures in check. With that in mind, EK has announced plans to release new water blocks, allowing enthusiasts to add the GPU to a custom liquid …
