Last year, NVIDIA encountered a United States ban on certain chip exports to China in an effort to control the latter’s growth in edge computing, military capabilities, and artificial intelligence. At that time, the graphics card company moved to sidestep those restrictions; however, it seems that avenue has been...

The NVIDIA RTX 3080 GPU is one for the record books, with its $699 MSRP enticing gamers to splurge. It also came during a turbulent time of the great GPU shortage, causing its street price to sky rocket. This likely means we also have many gamers still using this fantastic graphics card in 2023, due to its still...

Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming service has taken on new importance in the wake of Stadia's untimely demise. Some of those who fled Google's failed streaming platform for Nvidia are in for a rude awakening, though. Nvidia has announced a price hike for select markets, one of which will see the base subscription...

Folks who have been around the hardware scene for a while will likely recall that NVIDIA used to release new GPUs every year, even if they weren't necessarily a new architecture. This went on for quite some time, but in the last decade or so, ever since the relatively-long gap between the Maxwell-based GeForce GTX 900...

A lot is happening in the world of entry-level GPUs right now. Intel is reportedly finally launching its Arc A580 graphics card despite announcing the model a year ago. The Arc A580 is expected to target RTX 3050 performance levels. Meanwhile, NVIDIA appears to be releasing a competitor to the Arc 580 in the form of...

For the past decade, the semiconductor industry has been experiencing the effects of Moore's Law running out of road. It's getting harder and harder for fabs to offer new process nodes that deliver the traditional power, area, and performance improvements of yesteryear. But NVIDIA and its ambitious CEO Jensen Huang...

Counter-Strike in all of its forms has some of the most hardcore players of any game out there. These are people who want the game to be running at hundreds of FPS above their screen refresh for the infinitesimal input latency benefit that it gives. In that context, it's kind of crazy that the brand-new Counter-Strike...

When you hear "super-sampling", you have a certain expectation. Super-sampling is the oldest form of anti-aliasing, and it essentially amounts to just raising the render resolution. That's the type of anti-aliasing that early GeForce and Radeon cards used, as well as the last 3dfx Voodoo boards.
NVIDIA's DLSS...

ASUS and Make A Wish International have clubbed together to launch a special graphics card auction. The highly anticipated ASUS ROG Matrix RTX 4090 is the prize, and a cherry on this deliciously powerful cake is that it bears the gold-inked signature of the NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang. As you might expect, proceeds of...

You probably already know that AMD's most recent Radeon GPUs are created using chiplets: a single GCD for graphics and compute, and then between three and six MCDs for memory access and caching. Intel hasn't released any consumer GPUs using chiplets yet, but its Datacenter GPU Max—that's the part formerly known as...

Imagine a world in which no competition existed for PC hardware components and what that would do to pricing for CPUs, system memory, storage, and graphics cards (among other parts). Yeah, that would royally suck. Fortunately competition does exist and because of this, street pricing on some GeForce RTX 4070 models...

A prototype GeForce RTX 3090 series graphics card was spotted by @KittyYYuko on X (Twitter), featuring NVIDIA's RTX SUPER series badging and a unique matte black finish. The special card seemingly confirms that NVIDIA was considering reusing its SUPER nomenclature for another generation beyond the RTX 20...

Unlike many computing trends, AI has practical purposes, so it has stuck around beyond the initial fad period. People are using AI for anything and everything, even when it isn't particularly-suited for the task. (Note that all of our articles are written by humans!) If you want to run large AI models like GPT-4, you...

If you're a PC hardware enthusiast of a certain age—and if you're reading this site, you probably are—you are likely to recall that back around 2010, GPU overclocking was a big deal. Folks were doing overclocks by 25% or more, something that's basically impossible now. Around that same time, there was a practical...

If you want to know how ray tracing works, it's all in the name: the renderer simulates ("traces") the bouncing of light "rays" to determine how the scene should be lit and colored. This is great, but objects are huge and light particles are very, very small. To get truly simulated lighting, you would need billions...

NVIDIA says the jury is in and members have seen the distinct advantage of being able to stream at 240fps with a GeForce NOW Ultimate membership during QuakeCon's Ultimate KovaaK's challenge. For Ultimate members who could not attend QuakeCon, they can still compete in the KovaaK's challenge for some sweet prizes that...
