In case you couldn't tell from our coverage, some of us around here—particularly your present author—are big fans of Cyberpunk 2077. That's not only because it's a legitimately great game these days, but also because it is a showcase for the absolute bleeding edge in graphics technology. That will continue to be the...

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...

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...

SK hynix has developed what it claims is the world's best performing HBM3e memory with throughput of up to 1.15 terabytes (TB) per second. Translated into real-world workloads, that's fast enough to process more than 230 Full HD 1080p movies (each one 5GB in size) in a single second. That's kind of mind-boggling when...

The GPU shortage during the height of the pandemic and when cryptocurrency mining was fashionable has left us all more than a little jaded. Remember what it was like trying to a find a graphics card from a first-party seller? Not fun. Same can be said for trying to score a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X (or even...

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...
