RTX 5090 Laptop Sips Power and Slays Benchmarks
The newest laptop graphics card from NVIDIA saves power but plays games at almost the same speed as older models. Tests show the RTX 5090 runs games only three percent differently than the previous RTX 4090. Players might not notice any change when looking at game smoothness alone. The main benefit comes from the RTX 5090 using much less electricity during heavy gaming sessions. Laptop fans run quieter because the computer stays cooler with this new design. AI features make the biggest difference when comparing these cards. Games look better with special DLSS 4 technology that creates extra frames between real ones. This can make action appear much smoother on screen without needing more raw power. The card works especially well for...
AMD Slim Dual Fan RX 9060 XT Has Gamers Hooked
AMD released a picture showing a small Radeon RX 9060 XT card with two fans. The company labeled the image as artwork not available for purchase. Jack Huynh will share details about this compact design at Computex on May 21. The card looks different from the earlier three-fan models seen after the March RDNA 4 release. AMD had claimed they would not make reference boards for stores. Several AMD-made units appeared in Chinese markets despite official statements. People found a three-fan version created through AMD online after RDNA 4 became available on March 6. Gaming forums showed photos of dual-fan RX 9070 XT models made by AMD. Acer, ASUS, and XFX create their versions of RX 9060 XT cards using special cooling systems. The new image...
addlink Gen5 Drives Shatter Speed Limits
Addlink plans to show new computer storage drives at the Computex event. The company makes two models, called G57 and G57H, that transfer data at speeds up to 14000 megabytes per second. Both drives use the same fast controller chip, but only the G57H comes with extra cooling parts. Customers can choose between three sizes, from 1 to 4 terabytes, when buying these drives. The largest drives will likely reach the fastest speeds compared to smaller versions. These storage devices contain special memory chips that help them work faster for short bursts of activity. Addlink adds protection features that prevent data loss and keep the drives from getting too hot during use. The company backs these products with a five-year promise to...
Asus ROG White Edition RTX GPUs Go Beast Mode
ASUS offers new white graphics cards with special cooling features. The ROG Astral RTX 5090 uses four fans and heat pipes to stay cool during gameplay. It handles more power than regular cards and warns users about connection problems through special software. The smaller Prime RTX 5070 fits in compact computers with its thinner design and three fans. Both cards use special materials that change form when heated to move heat away faster. The TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti cards have extra tough parts that last longer. To keep things quiet, fans stop completely when the card runs light tasks. ASUS made matching white power supplies for each card type with different power levels. The ROG Thor reaches 1200 watts for the biggest cards and runs...
Gamers go crazy for ASUS ROG XG32U screen
ASUS released new ROG Strix XG32U gaming monitors with special screens that reduce light reflections by almost 40 percent. These displays come in two models with different refresh rates when users switch from 4K to FHD mode. The faster version reaches 480 Hz speed for competitive gaming. Both screens feature technology that prevents image burn-in problems common to OLED displays. A built-in sensor darkens the screen when nobody is sitting at the desk. The monitors connect to multiple devices through HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C ports, or the four-port USB hub. Users can adjust height, tilt, or swivel on the compact stand, which takes up less desk space than previous models. The screens show sharper text because special software fixes color...
GTA6 Delay Torpedoes Console Craze
The delay of Grand Theft Auto VI will hurt game companies across the industry in 2025. Experts predict that PlayStation and Xbox will sell 700,000 fewer gaming systems because of this schedule change. According to these forecasts, players might buy 21 million fewer games throughout the year. The total money lost reaches almost three billion dollars between hardware and software sales. This creates very different market conditions than companies expected earlier this year. Multiple research firms say Nintendo is the only winner from this delay. The market will grow less than one percent this year instead of the previous higher estimates. Analysts expect much stronger growth next year when GTA VI finally arrives. Reports suggest the game...
