NVIDIA internal GPU codenames typically go something like this: first a G (for "graphics" or "GeForce"), then the first letter of the architecture name, and then three digits. The first digit indicates the architectural revision, the second digit marks the chip revision, and then the last digit suggests the specific...

Remember the GeForce GTX 280? The "GT200" GPU was a gigantic beast that maxed out the limits of the "Tesla" design it was based on. It boasted 32 ROPs and something almost unseen in graphics cards before or since: a 512-bit GDDR memory bus. Well, NVIDIA could be bringing the half-kilobit bus back when the next...

ASUS is purportedly getting ready to mass produce a batch of GeForce RTX 4070 graphics cards that draw power entirely from the motherboard, via a proprietary slot. Such a design sidesteps the need to plug a power supply cable directly into the graphics card, which effectively makes it a cable-less GPU. The tradeoff is...

As a gamer, you sort-of get inured to loading time. It's largely unavoidable that games will, at some point, have periods where they have to say "please wait" and you can do little but twiddle your thumbs or maybe read some interesting load screen text while you wait for the engine to prepare the play...

It requires a PCIe 8-pin connector to do its thing...

If you're a dedicated fan of the original Portal, then chances are high that you're familiar with Portal: Prelude.

CENS overclock was achieved with liquid nitrogen overclocking...

NVIDIA has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, as it skirts a one-TRILLION-dollar market valuation. While we're fond of the company's products, its corporate behavior has occasionally come under fire, with some of the most high-profile remarks coming from former partner EVGA.
The latest such allegation comes...

It turns out that NVIDIA’s RTX 4070 is not carrying the same 16-pin power connector found on other RTX 40 series graphics cards. After careful inspection from Igor at Igor’s Lab, he found that the RTX 4070 Founders Edition and 16-pin equipped AIB partner cards are carrying a modified 16-pin power connector that...

Whether you think that the spate of melted 12VHPWR connectors was the fault of users (for not plugging it in all the way) or the fault of the connector's design, it's clear that it was a fairly unique situation to that connector. In that case, the connector probably needs revision, as having people fry components due...

When it comes to playing games, few people would dispute that NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4090 is the king of GPUs, or the Radeon RX 7900 XTX if looking at AMD's product stack. That's if judging solely on performance. If looking at market share among gamers on Steam, the king of GPUs is a budget graphic card that released a little over four years

It took a country minute, but there's finally a mainstream graphics card available at retail that's based on NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace architecture, the GeForce RTX 4060 starting at $299. Technically you could call the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti a mainstream SKU as well. Fair enough, but as far as being the most affordable GeForce RTX 40 series product
