AMD Adds New AI Model to Graphics Card Line.
AMD announced support for DeepSeek-V3, a powerful AI system, on its Instinct graphics cards. The move brings stronger AI tools to more users.
DeepSeek-V3 handles both text and images. It uses 671 billion math rules but only needs 37 billion for each task. The system builds on older features like Multi-head Latent Attention and special load control methods.
The model stands out in math and code tasks. It brings fresh ways to balance workloads. With its expanded memory, users can process words and pictures simultaneously.
AMD's Instinct cards offer the speed these AI tasks need. The cards work with AMD's ROCm software to run complex programs. This setup helps more people use advanced AI...
RTX 5090 Graphics Cards Face Months-Long Shortages.
The latest high-end graphics card from NVIDIA remains hard to find. Overclockers UK reports buyers might wait up to 16 weeks for the RTX 5090.
Manufacturing limits play a key role in these delays. NVIDIA shares factory space with data center products at TSMC. Both gaming cards and business chips need the same production lines. Memory part shortages add to these problems.
The entire RTX 50 series faces strong buyer interest. Both the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 sold out fast after launch. This led Overclockers UK to stop taking pre-orders. Some sellers list these cards at double their normal price.
Supply problems affect markets worldwide. When TSMC makes more business chips, fewer gaming...
GALAX Unveils Premium White Graphics Card with Advanced Controls.
GALAX revealed its latest high-end graphics card, the RTX 5080 HOF. The card features an all-white design across its fans, shroud, and circuit board.
The cooling system uses three fans—two 102mm units and one 92mm fan in the middle—to push air through a large heatsink. Soft RGB lights shine from the fan centers and along the card's top edge.
A single 16-pin power plug replaces the two connectors found in past models. The bracket can be equipped with a Hyper Boost switch that allows users to run fans at full speed during intense gaming.
The card packs a 14+6+6 phase power system with 70A DrMOS parts. This setup helps maintain stable power for high-speed operation. A...
Intel Skips Desktop Gaming Chips for 2025.
Intel announced it will not release new desktop gaming processors in 2025. The news sparked debate among tech experts about the company's market position.
AMD and NVIDIA keep launching fresh products into the gaming space. Some analysts wonder if Intel risks losing ground by taking this break. The decision affects both gamers and data centers, which need similar high-end chips.
The company says it plans to focus on AI features and better manufacturing instead. Yet critics warn this pause might help rivals gain more desktop customers. The move raises questions about Intel's commitment to gaming hardware.
Intel's next big project, Panther Lake, targets laptops in 2025. This chip aims to use...
Game Tech Giants Roll Out New Frame Smoothing Tools.
NVIDIA and AMD have created new ways to make games look smoother on screen. These tools work by adding extra frames between the ones games normally show.
NVIDIA calls its version "Smooth Motion." Users can find it in their graphics settings under Dynamic Super Resolution. AMD offers a similar feature named "Fluid Motion Frames."
The system looks at current and past frames to guess what should come next. This helps games feel more fluid, though fast action scenes might show some visual glitches.
RTX 50 series owners can use Smooth Motion with DirectX 11 and 12 games. NVIDIA plans to add support for 4000 series cards later.
These driver-based tools differ from special game features...
Investigation Reveals Stripped Graphics Card in Repair Scam.
A repair shop found key parts missing from an RTX 3090 graphics card brought in for service. The customer claimed the card had been in storage, unused for mining work.
Tests showed the card would not connect to any computer. The repair team opened the unit and found both the main processor and memory chips gone. High-tech scans proved these vital parts had been removed.
Clear marks on the circuit board pointed to planned part removal. Broken solder points and damaged circuits showed someone had taken the card apart with care. This evidence went against the owner's story of simple storage damage.
The case raises red flags about possible fraud. The repair team noted the...

NVIDIA Plans New Graphics Cards for March Release.
Two new graphics cards from NVIDIA will be available in March 2025. The RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti are designed for mid-range computer users.
Both cards will use the GB206 GPU design. Buyers can choose between 8 GB or 16 GB of video memory. These cards feature new GDDR7 memory technology, which runs faster than older versions.
The 8 GB model faces stiff competition from Intel's Arc B580 card. Memory size matters for complex tasks like ray tracing, and tech experts say more memory helps cards run better under heavy loads.
A leaked presentation from Taiwan revealed the March launch date. Earlier rumors had pointed to an early second-quarter release. Full technical details remain under...
