End of GeForce RTX 5090: Retailers Ending Sales, Nvidia too

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

According to recent leaks, Nvidia is discontinuing the GeForce RTX 5090 and redirecting the GB202 chips to the production of AI accelerators for workstations and servers. At first, it was hard to believe. It would be the first time the company itself had canceled the most powerful and most expensive GPU model for gaming PCs—and what’s more, two years before the new generation. However, more and more signs appear to confirm this. Read more “End of GeForce RTX 5090: Retailers Ending Sales, Nvidia too” »

DLSS 5 v Hogwarts Legacy

Nvidia Speeds Up DLSS 5 and Frame Gen. The Cost Is Quality

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Long awaited laptops with Nvidia’s RTX Spark N1X processors are finally coming the market. One of their main propositions is a GPU derived from the GeForce RTX 5000 graphics architecture, although games will have to contend with the poorer compatibility of the Arm platform. Nvidia has therefore aligned various gaming news with the launch of the RTX Spark, including updates to DLSS technologies that also benefit regular GeForce cards.

New Radeon GPUs Likely Won’t Arrive Until Second Half of 2027

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

We recently reported the new generations of GPUs from Nvidia (GeForce RTX 6000 / Rubin) and AMD (RDNA 5) will not arrive until 2028. There was supposed to be one exception, however—AMD could reportedly release one of the new-generation cards in 2027. The information at the time did not say when exactly in that year this might happen. Now we have clarification, and it seems it will not be anytime soon either—as might have been expected.

AMD Reportedly Raising GPU Prices. Apart From One Radeon card?

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Radeon GPUs have been significantly better value than similarly fast Nvidia cards lately. These lower prices (by today’s dismal standards) may not last much longer, however. According to news from China, AMD and AIB makers are now preparing a substantial price increase, despite similar price move happening recently. The reason is the AI mania again, which has massively driven up the cost of memory, as well as manufacturing itself. Read more “AMD Reportedly Raising GPU Prices. Apart From One Radeon card?” »

Advanced Shader Delivery Comes to Nvidia, Intel & Qualcomm GPUs

Graphics, News, Software | | Jan Olšan

Advanced Shader Delivery appeared in the Windows gaming ecosystem a year ago, addressing the issue of modern games often spending many minutes compiling shaders after launch, if they were freshly installed or the GPU driver was updated (which happens frequently). With Advanced Shader Delivery, shaders are instead downloaded, which is much faster. Initially, only AMD GPUs supported the feature, but now the others are getting it too.

AMD to Raise Prices on All Products: GPUs, CPUs and Chipsets

Chipsets, Graphics, Motherboards, News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

We reported that Intel was preparing to raise CPU prices next month, but according to further information, the same was planned by AMD. Further sources have now confirmed that this manufacturer will also be raising prices. However, the scope of the price increases is to be much broader—it will affect not only CPUs, but apparently all chips manufactured by AMD. As a result, graphics cards pricing will rise further, but so will prices of motherboards. Read more “AMD to Raise Prices on All Products: GPUs, CPUs and Chipsets” »

DLSS 5 Now Running on Intel GPUs Too: Support Vibe Coded by AI

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Nvidia’s clearly intended the DLSS 5 game AI image-enhancement technology to be exclusive for GeForce GPUs—as with previous DLSS versions—if not outright a “vendor lock-in” to stifle competition. Ironically, it currently seems to be the DLSS tech easiest to get running on competing hardware, hough actual practical viability of the unofficial ports remains unclear. And modders have now managed to get it running on Intel GPUs as well. Read more “DLSS 5 Now Running on Intel GPUs Too: Support Vibe Coded by AI” »

New Nvidia and AMD GPUs Not Coming Until 2028. Except for one

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

It used to be the case that new generations of graphics cards would arrive every two years. GeForce RTX 3000 and Radeon RX 6000 at the end of 2020, RTX 4000 and Radeon RX 7000 at the end of 2022. However, the last generation already went off track, and things are looking to get even worse: the GeForce RTX 6000 series reportedly won’t launch until 2028. The same is reportedly true for next-gen Radeons—although perhaps not quite. Read more “New Nvidia and AMD GPUs Not Coming Until 2028. Except for one” »

Nvidia Changes Course, DLSS 5 Coming to Some Older Cards

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Nvidia finally released DLSS 5 last week, which you could read about here (and we covered the impact on performance and power draw here). There were also some unpleasant news: when Nvidia announced the first game launch (the release of NBA2K27), the company stated DLSS 5 support would only be available on GeForce RTX 5000 cards, not on older generations. Now, however, there has been a change of course. Read more “Nvidia Changes Course, DLSS 5 Coming to Some Older Cards” »

Next-gen Radeon GPUs: RDNA 5 architecture clock targets leaked

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

2027 is approaching with new generations of GPUs, although they will be delayed compared to the previous two-year cycles. AMD has GPUs with the new RDNA 5 architecture coming, which could incorporate fairly major changes compared to today’s RDNA 4 based  GPUs, as well as a new manufacturing process. Thanks to the latter, clock speeds will apparently increase, although perhaps not by as much as one would have expected. Read more “Next-gen Radeon GPUs: RDNA 5 architecture clock targets leaked” »

mVolt+ Unlocks Forbidden GeForce RTX 5000 Overclocking Options

Graphics, News, Software | | Jan Olšan

Overclocking graphics cards is quite different from how “OC” works on CPUs. GPUs generally operate at fairly low voltages and clock speeds, and their overclocking is mostly artificially limited by various power or voltage limits in the drivers and firmware. The same is true of Nvidia’s current cards. But the artificial OC limits have now been bypassed, so it may be possible to extract significantly higher performance from them, although not without risks.

DLSS 5: First Game Out, Inner Workings and Performance Cost

Graphics, News, Technology | | Jan Olšan

The files of the AI game image enhancement technology DLSS 5 have leaked last week, and modders added the filter to the first games—unofficially. However, the official launch was not far behind. Nvidia has announced that it is now officially launching in the first game, NBA2K27, which is also the title from which the files previously leaked. Starting tomorrow, you will be able to try out what it looks like and what its costs are. Read more “DLSS 5: First Game Out, Inner Workings and Performance Cost” »

Nvidia Has Launched Improved DLSS 4.5 with Ray Reconstruction

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

In spring, Nvidia announced a new version of the DLSS 4.5 gaming upscaling technology coming in August, promising improved output quality, through settling a debt of sorts: The DLSS 4.5 technology eliminated the Ray Reconstruction technology (originally introduced as part of DLSS 3.5), so you lost access to it when enabling DLSS 4.5. Now this incompatibility has been solved, and Ray Reconstruction is also coming to DLSS 4.5. Read more “Nvidia Has Launched Improved DLSS 4.5 with Ray Reconstruction” »

What can Instinct MI455X tell us about RDNA 5 GPUs? [Analysis]

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Last month, AMD unveiled its CDNA 5 architecture-based Instinct MI455X AI accelerators. This matters even outside AI and server workloads, because CDNA 5 is now related to the RDNA 5 architecture that will power the next generation of Radeon gaming GPUs. Let’s take a look at what the new Instincts reveal about RDNA 5 and what else has leaked about this architecture. This includes one change that is rather surprising.

HWiNFO Now Shows Temps of Individual Video Memory Chips

Graphics, News, Software | | Jan Olšan

Not long ago, HWiNFO gained the ability to monitor GPU hotspot temperatures—local hotspots with significantly higher temps than the average having been reported by Nvidia chips. This has been followed by another improvement in graphics card temperature monitoring. You will now be able to look at the temperatures of all memory chips on the card, which can reveal cooling problems in much the same way as the GPU hotspot temperature.
