AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT eGPU Boosts Valve Steam Machine 4K By 183%
Pairing the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT eGPU with Valve's Steam Machine offers a unique glimpse into the potential of modular gaming setups. As demonstrated by ETA Prime, this experimental configuration relies on an Oculink-to-M.2 adapter to connect the external GPU, overcoming the Steam Machine's inherent hardware constraints. The setup also required relocating the Steam OS to an external SSD and upgrading the system's memory to 64GB, making sure sufficient resources for modern gaming demands. Despite these enhancements, the Steam Machine's Ryzen CPU, with its 30W thermal design power, emerged as a limiting factor, particularly in CPU-intensive scenarios, underscoring the challenges of achieving balanced performance in such configurations.

NVIDIA's Six-Years-Old A100 "Ampere" GPU to Remain in Use Until 2029
With the expansion of AI, every bit of available computing power is being utilized, and even NVIDIA's six-year-old A100 "Ampere" accelerator is being fully utilized at CoreWeave. According to CoreWeave, and confirmed by NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang, the company has signed an agreement with a customer to rent chips released more than half a decade ago for several more years, specifically through 2029. This demonstrates that NVIDIA's platforms remain in high demand, with chips released in 2020 expected to have a usable lifespan extending nearly to the end of the decade. CoreWeave customers have rented these chips through 2029 for AI training and inference. In late 2020, NVIDIA introduced a GA100 GPU SKU for the A100, featuring 6,912 CUDA cores and up to 80 GB of HBM2E memory. By today's standards, the core count may not match modern solutions, but in an era where memory shortages affect everyone, even older HBM2E is acceptable when there is 80 GB of it per card.

Modified GeForce RTX 4080 Cards Appear With 32GB of GDDR6X
Unofficial GeForce RTX 4080 cards with 32GB of GDDR6X memory have appeared on the Chinese second-hand market. A normal RTX 4080 provides 16GB across a 256-bit interface. The modified cards replace or repopulate the memory devices to double capacity without changing bus width or memory bandwidth. The GPU retains 9,728 CUDA cores. Additional VRAM therefore does not improve ordinary rendering throughput and will generally have little effect in games that already fit inside 16GB. The modification is aimed at local AI, rendering and data-processing workloads where model or dataset capacity matters more than gaming performance. A 32GB card can run models that would otherwise require aggressive quantization, CPU-memory offloading or a substantially more expensive professional accelerator.

NVIDIA Opens cuFile and Builds an SSD-to-GPU Storage Ecosystem
NVIDIA has opened the source code for the cuFile API and associated GPU-direct storage components. The change gives storage vendors and software developers greater access to the technology used by GPUDirect Storage to move information between NVMe storage and GPU memory without routing every transfer through a conventional CPU-managed system-memory buffer. The announcement does not literally convert an SSD into graphics memory. HBM and GDDR remain considerably faster and provide much lower latency. Instead, cuFile creates a more efficient path for loading model weights, datasets, textures and other information that cannot remain permanently resident in GPU memory. NVIDIA is also organizing a Storage-Next initiative involving approximately forty storage and flash companies, including Kioxia, Micron and DataDirect Networks.

AMD Is Reportedly Jumping on the GPU Price Hike Gravy Train as Its Partners Claim a 10% Increase Is on Its Way in August
It was only a matter of time, and if the latest rumors are accurate, AMD will be the next GPU manufacturer to raise its prices this year. Stories of competitor NVIDIA raising GPU kit prices to its AIB partners have already been circulating, and now it seems a similar claim is being made for AMD's board partners. The only catch here is that AMD reportedly was holding off on telling anyone until NVIDIA made its move first. This strategy is the norm between the two GPU manufacturers, who often will wait for the other to show its cards (figuratively and literally) before showing its own. Channel Gate (via VideoCardz) reports that AMD will raise its GPU+memory kit prices by 10% beginning in August.

AMD Reportedly Raises Radeon GPU and Memory-Kit Prices by at Least 10%
AMD has reportedly notified graphics-card partners that it will increase the price of its combined GPU and graphics-memory kits by at least 10 percent. The adjustment is said to follow a similar increase from NVIDIA and would affect the cost basis used by add-in-board manufacturers rather than representing a formal change to AMD's public suggested retail prices. The report originates from ChannelGate, a supply-chain publication, and was subsequently circulated by technology publications. No public pricing notice from AMD was available at the time of writing, so the increase should be treated as a channel report rather than a confirmed corporate announcement. The alleged adjustment is particularly important because AMD has only just introduced the Radeon RX 9050 at $279. That card already sits unusually close to the $299 launch price of the substantially faster Radeon RX 9060 XT.

A PC builder has demonstrated an unconventional dual-GPU configuration in which a GeForce RTX 3090 renders a game while a separate GeForce RTX 3050 6GB performs frame generation through Lossless Scaling. The reported configuration produces a 4K HDR output at 144 frames per second from a native frame rate capped at 71 FPS. This is not SLI. The GPUs do not combine CUDA cores, memory capacity, or raster performance. Instead, each card receives a separate job. The RTX 3090 generates the real game frames, which are transferred over PCIe to the RTX 3050. Lossless Scaling then creates intermediate frames, and the RTX 3050 sends the resulting signal to a 42-inch LG C4 OLED display. The display must be connected to the frame-generation GPU. Connecting it to the RTX 3090 would require the processed output to travel back across PCIe, introducing additional bandwidth consumption and latency.

SanDisk Proposes HBF NAND Stacks Beneath GPUs for AI Systems
SanDisk has outlined a new memory architecture concept called High-Bandwidth Flash (HBF), aimed at addressing one of the fastest-growing challenges in artificial intelligence computing: the need for significantly more memory capacity without relying entirely on increasingly scarce and expensive High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). The proposed HBF technology combines high-capacity NAND flash storage with advanced packaging techniques commonly associated with HBM. Instead of positioning storage devices away from the processor, SanDisk's design vertically stacks multiple NAND dies using through-silicon vias (TSVs), creating a compact storage structure that can be integrated much closer to the GPU. According to the company, one of the key advantages of HBF is capacity.

Analysts are raising questions over Nvidia's recent dive into the consumer hardware market with the launch of its RTX Spark PCs. As Reuters reports, the N1 platform, with its mix of ARM CPU cores and Nvidia RTX GPU cores, appears to court developers and gamers in its marketing. But these are two groups with radically different ideas of what a PC should be, leaving Nvidia's partner companies without a clear audience to sell to.

NVIDIA Rolls GeForce Gaming Products into "Edge Computing" Category for Financials, Now Attributes to Less than 8% of Overall Revenue
NVIDIA has officially moved its GeForce Graphics card division into another category within its latest financial reports. It's been a spell since NVIDIA introduced its first consumer-grade PC gaming graphics cards in the late 1990s and to say that the GPU market has changed since then would be a vast understatment. From competitors and partners that have fallen to the wayside to the rise of the AI boom, which is now consuming both natural and manufacturing resources, the chip manufacturer has weathered many a storm, including those it helped create. That being said, the gaming community has criticized NVIDIA for seeming to step back from releasing consumer products in recent years, and this latest change in fiscal reporting appears to align with that perception.

AMD Adrenalin 26.5.1 Reportedly Triggers Radeon Zero RPM Fan Issue
Some AMD Radeon users are reporting a fan-control issue after installing the Adrenalin 26.5.1 graphics driver. The reported behavior involves AMD's Zero RPM mode, which normally stops GPU fans during idle or low-load operation to reduce noise. According to the user reports cited by Tom's Hardware, the problem may appear after a monitor enters sleep mode or is manually powered off and then turned back on. Zero RPM mode is intended to operate within defined thermal limits. When the GPU is cool, the fans remain stopped and the heatsink handles passive cooling. Once temperature rises beyond the configured threshold, the fans should automatically start again.
May 15th, 2026 — Source

AMD Radeon GPU Driver Update Breaks Zero RPM Mode for Several Users
AMD's second-latest GPU driver update, version 26.5.1 WHQL, is causing issues with the Zero RPM mode on many graphics cards. Zero RPM is a feature found in most modern dedicated graphics cards, allowing the GPU to be passively cooled by its heatsink when idling. This means that when the graphics load is low, temperatures remain low, eliminating the need to spin the fans. This helps preserve fan longevity and reduces system noise. However, when temperatures rise above a certain threshold, Zero RPM is disabled, and the GPU's fans begin to spin to maintain stability. Interestingly, several users are reporting that updating to the Adrenalin 26.5.1 drivers is causing the Zero RPM mode to malfunction in a specific way.

ASUS ProArt RTX 5090 OC Features Compact 2.5-Slot Design
ASUS has introduced the ProArt GeForce RTX 5090 OC Edition, bringing NVIDIA's flagship Blackwell gaming GPU architecture into the company's creator-focused ProArt lineup. Unlike many oversized RTX 5090 partner models, the new ProArt edition is specifically designed for compact workstation and small form factor systems while maintaining high-end cooling and premium construction features. The graphics card uses a slimmer 2.5-slot design with a dual-fan cooler, making it noticeably smaller than many triple-slot and quad-slot RTX 5090 variants currently available. ASUS continues the established ProArt styling with a black-and-gold finish and adds a wood-patterned laminate trim along the curved outer edge of the shroud, giving the card a more studio-oriented aesthetic compared with traditional gaming-focused models.

TrendForce: Nvidia Rubin GPUs Face Delays Due To Memory Shortages
Nvidia's next-generation Rubin AI GPU platform may not arrive in the volumes many had expected, with TrendForce now pointing to memory shortages as a key reason for a slower rollout. According to the market researcher, Rubin-based products are likely to account for 22 percent of Nvidia's high-end GPU output this year, a reduction from its previous 29 percent forecast. That revision suggests Nvidia could bring Rubin to market later than anticipated and in more limited quantities during the early phase of availability. The main issue appears to be HBM4, the next wave of high-bandwidth memory required for advanced AI accelerators. For products at Rubin's level, memory is no longer a supporting detail.

New Rowhammer Attack Puts GDDR6-Powered NVIDIA GPUs at Risk
Rowhammer attacks exploit vulnerabilities in DRAM hardware by causing targeted bit-flips, allowing attackers to bypass memory isolation and gain control over a device. These attacks were initially focused on CPUs and their associated DDR memory, such as DDR4. However, recent research indicates that NVIDIA GPUs are also vulnerable due to the fragile nature of the GDDR6 memory they use, which directly compromises the CPU host. Two independent research teams have discovered ways to exploit this decades-old memory vulnerability against modern graphics hardware, with trouble extending beyond the GPU itself.

Reportedly, NVIDIA plans to double the regular "Rubin" two-die package with 8 HBM4 modules into a new "Rubin Ultra" package that will include four silicon dies and 16 HBM4E modules in a single package.

NVIDIA GeForce 595.97 WHQL driver download
NVIDIA has pushed out GeForce Game Ready Driver 595.97 WHQL, and this one looks like a practical cleanup release rather than a flashy feature drop. It landed on March 24, 2026, supports Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 11, and comes in as a 913.01 MB package. NVIDIA positions it as a Game Ready driver for titles and apps using DLSS, ray tracing, path tracing, and Reflex, so the goal here is broad platform tuning instead of a single major game launch headline. What matters most in this release is the fix list. NVIDIA calls out a texture corruption issue in Halo Infinite affecting R595-series drivers, which is the sort of problem users notice immediately because it directly impacts image integrity in gameplay.

NVIDIA DLSS 5 Reveal at GTC 2026 Draws Strong Negative Feedback
NVIDIA's unveiling of DLSS 5 during its GTC 2026 event has generated significant discussion across the gaming community, with early engagement metrics pointing to a notably negative reception. The official livestream presentation has accumulated over one million views, but user feedback shows a low approval ratio of roughly 16 percent positive reactions compared to more than 82,000 negative responses. This places the announcement among the more controversial technology reveals in recent GPU history. The trend extends beyond the main event stream.

NVIDIA DLSS 5 Takes 2D Frame and Motion Vectors as Input
The public is still learning more about DLSS 5 technology, and NVIDIA is gradually revealing additional details. In a conversation between YouTuber Daniel Owen and NVIDIA's GeForce Evangelist Jacob Freeman, we discover that DLSS 5 essentially takes 2D frames and motion vectors as input, applying its generative AI model to output frames in a 2D context rather than 3D. This means that while the model is trained on materials that might appear 3D, its actual work is based on 2D imagery. It identifies each frame's motion vectors and anchors the model to them, operating in a 2D space instead of a full 3D environment.

GeForce 595.71 WHQL sparks RTX 50 voltage-cap performance complaints
NVIDIA's GeForce Game Ready Driver 595.71 WHQL was released as a corrective step after the short-lived 595.59 driver triggered widespread reports of fan-related problems. Many users complained that monitoring utilities failed to detect all GPU fans, while others reported one or more fans not spinning after the update. NVIDIA's quick follow-up with 595.71 was meant to restore expected behavior and bring systems back to a stable baseline. However, early feedback suggests 595.71 may be carrying its own baggage—at least on some GeForce RTX 50-series "Blackwell" graphics cards. Multiple user reports are now pointing to a potential voltage cap that reduces boost frequency and, by extension, performance. The symptom pattern is consistent: lower observed core voltage under load, lower sustained clocks, and lower power draw.

Modder cross-flashes ASUS Matrix 800W vBIOS onto ROG Astral 5090
A fresh RTX 5090 mod story is circulating that shows how far enthusiasts will go to bypass power limits once software tuning hits a wall. The claim: the 800 W vBIOS from ASUS' ROG Matrix Platinum GeForce RTX 5090 has been made to run on an ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090, unlocking roughly 200 W of additional power headroom compared to the Astral's typical configuration. The underlying idea is familiar to anyone who has followed extreme GPU overclocking. A vBIOS defines the card's guardrails: power targets, voltage behavior, boost rules, and fan control logic. When vendors or GPU makers restrict what user utilities can change, the easiest path to a higher power ceiling often becomes "run a firmware that was built for it."

AMD FSR "Redstone" Has a Frame Pacing Problem, Doesn't Use Flip Metering
According to a series of tests from Digital Foundry, AMD's FSR "Redstone" technology has issues with frame pacing, which can sometimes result in smoother gameplay when the technology is turned off. AMD has enhanced the FSR 4 technology by adding machine learning-based rendering stages focused on frame generation, ray tracing reconstruction, and lighting acceleration (Radiance Caching). The FSR 4 machine learning frame generation (MLFG) introduced with "Redstone" has yielded great FPS boost on paper, but has cause the system to output spiky frame rate across the game.

Graphics card manufacturers rarely treat this as a defect, so if you discover the problem outside the return window, you may be left with a buzzing GPU.

The core problem is simple and physical: low-voltage, high-current delivery forces bulky copper conductors and complex buswork into every rack, wasting space and money while creating thermal and installation headaches.
