The Hot Take: Ridiculous.
NVIDIA is on its way to release the refreshed RTX 5080 by discontinuing the existing one. Newer GeForce RTX 5080 With 24 GB VRAM Rumoredly Hitting Shelves in Q1 2027, Although Board Partners Haven't Received Any Development Information A few days ago, we reported that NVIDIA is discontinuing the flagship Blackwell gaming card, and at the same time, it's replacing the GPU sitting right below it in the tier list with a refreshed one. We are talking about the GeForce RTX 5080 card, which is the second most powerful Blackwell GeForce card in theā¦

The Hot Take: Mid-range only for us pleebs! We will own nothing soon enough.
Nvidia has reportedly ceased selling its GB202 graphics processors for consumer-grade GeForce RTX 5090-series add-in-boards (AIBs), including 'D' variants for the Chinese market, according to a leaked notice from an unknown factory cited by @hongxing2020, who tends to have insights into the graphics card market. Another prominent leaker @Zed__Wang confirmed the report and said that from now on the GB202 silicon will be exclusively used on data center and professional graphics cards."According to a notification from the factory, Nvidia will noā¦

The Hot Take: If true, definitely an opportunity for AMD to take the performance crown for a time.
With GPUs and memory chips in incredibly high demand, 2027 is shaping up to be one of the more unusual graphics card release cycles. NVIDIA has been dominating the segment for years, but if recent rumors suggesting that the RTX 60 series is delayed until 2028 turn out to be true, AMD could find itself in a unique position to lure users toward its upcoming cards.

The Hot Take: Good to see the honor their warranty. Something becoming more rare in these times....
Itās a scary situation when an expensive GPU like the RTX 5090Ā thatās tamed using a water-cooled solution begins to show cracks in the exact waterblock thatās used to effectively reduce its temperatures. One owner has shown evidence that it took the waterblock less than a month to begin displaying these cracks, but he was lucky that GIGABYTE offered a quick replacement for the AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE version. It took GIGABYTE around two weeks to provide the replacement for the water-cooled RTX 5090, which is a lower turnaround time consideringā¦

The Hot Take: Will have to see how this works and if the fidelity is good.
Ā AMDĀ has shown a ray tracing trick that slashes memory and acceleration-structure costs while keeping hundreds of millions of animated triangles moving in real time.
AMD Fellow Holger Gruen demonstrated the technique using a terrain scene containing about 25,000 independently animated plants. At maximum level of detail, the vegetation represents roughly 2.8 billion triangles.
After level-of-detail selection, the system ray-traces about 500 million animated triangles each frame using primary and shadow rays. AMD says the scene runs at moreā¦

The Hot Take: As expected, while they continue to squeeze out every dollar from Ai.
Both GPU giants are expected to skip 2027 for their next-generation of graphics cards, and only one configuration is expected to see its debut next year. Leaker Claims AMD and NVIDIA Planning to Launch Their Next-Gen Graphics Cards in 2028 While RDNA 2 AT2 GPU Launches in 2027 We have previously heard reports claiming that AMD is reportedly planning to launch its next generation of graphics cards in late 2027. Some reports claimed that the launch could be delayed until early 2028. Looks like we aren't getting the complete GPU family out untilā¦

The Hot Take: Smh, I think we stop buying Nvidia to show them what we think on this. I'm tempted to go AMD...
The GeForce RTX 5090 is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the best graphics cards. However, you'd better pray the serial number on the inside of the metal bracket does not fade over time, since that could be a reason for Nvidia to reject warranty claims. At least one Redditor has shared a case of Nvidia reportedly denying a warranty claim because the bracket's serial number was unreadable.Go deeper with TH Premium: GPUs(Image credit: Noctua)Desktop GPU RoadmapNvidia's Enterprise GPU RoadmapTesting DirectStorage with GPUā¦
