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” »

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 plans GeForce RTX 5090 SE graphics. A chance for gamers?

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

A few days ago, we reported that the previously canceled GeForce RTX 5080 Super card is once again on track for launch. It was expected to be the fastest model in the Blackwell refresh lineup, but Nvidia is apparently preparing another model above it. However, it will not officially carry the “Super” designation, since it will be a cut-down sibling of the flagship GeForce RTX 5090. As such, it could prove to be an attractive card for gamers.

Seasonic confirms Nvidia’s incoming GeForce RTX 5080 Super GPU

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

If you’re planning to buy an Nvidia graphics card, it may be worth waiting. Nvidia apparently works on a “Super” branded refresh GeForce RTX 5000 cards. In the past, Super models have often offered significantly better specs and a superior price-to-performance ratio than the first wave of cards in a given generation, so the RTX 5000 Super lineup could also improve the product stack like that—including upping the problematic VRAM capacity.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Series: Your ideal graphics studio

PR article | | Editors

NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs are the most popular solution for PC gaming, but they are also designed for use across a wide range of semi‑ and fully‑professional workflows and creative tasks. NVIDIA Studio drivers open give GeForce RTX 50‑series GPUs in desktops and laptops capabilities that were previously limited to much more expensive professional GPUs. That means you can confidently tackle demanding 3D work with them. Read more “Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 Series: Your ideal graphics studio” »

Nvidia to cut GPU production by 20%—RTX 5070 Ti going MIA?

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Recently, we reported that Nvidia has likely canceled the new GeForce RTX 5000 Super graphics cards planned for this year, and that the wait for the 6000 generation will also be long, as it is expected to arrive only in H2 2027. For gamers, the situation may get even worse, as the company is now reportedly reducing production of currently available graphics cards as well. A resulting shortage could then push retail prices higher. Read more “Nvidia to cut GPU production by 20%—RTX 5070 Ti going MIA?” »

GeForce RTX 5000 Super not coming, Blackwell refresh plan shelved

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

It is widely known that the AI boom has triggered massive DRAM shortages—including GDDR6 and GDDR7. Unfortunately, it appears that one of the consequences will be the cancellation of new gaming graphics cards Nvidia had planned for this year. The so-called “Super” cards were expected to be expected at CES 2026, but that did not happen and according to sources from Asia, Nvidia has completely halted the plans.

New GPUs Delayed Due to AI: RTX 5000 Super Not Until Q3 2026

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

This year’s AI boom—or bubble—has caused shortages of NAND flash, SSDs, DRAM, and even memory for graphics cards. Price rising is reportedly even accelerating. It seems this situation could also disrupt the gaming graphics card market. Throughout this year, reports piled up suggesting Nvidia would likely release an updated GeForce RTX 5000 Super series next year with larger memory capacities, but this plan may have fallen through.

Asus GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua OC Ed. 16GB Review: Silent Monster

Extra tests, Graphics | | Adam Vágner

When Asus, Noctua, and Nvidia team up, it’s clear the result won’t be a compromise. For those who find the RTX 5090 already too expensive, the GeForce RTX 5080 Noctua OC Edition offers a unique combination of a massive heatsink and three top-tier Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 120 mm fans. An air cooler capable of keeping a powerful 360 W card at low temperatures with the fans spinning at just under 700 RPM is something you rarely encounter.

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Gaming OC 16GB: Price Feels Dated

Extra tests, Graphics | | Adam Vágner

When the RTX 5060 Ti launched, we tested one of Gigabyte’s cheaper Eagle models. Today we’re looking at the better-equipped RTX 5060 Ti Gaming OC from the same manufacturer. It uses a larger cooler and is quieter at the same temperatures. The price uplift over the base models is modest, and prices across brands are nearly identical. Even so, it faces stiff competition from Radeons, which are highly attractive alternatives. Read more “Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Gaming OC 16GB: Price Feels Dated” »

GB10 or N1X? Nvidia’s Arm Superchip Packs RTX 5070–class GPU

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

One of the major tech announcements expected this year was Nvidia’s entry into the CPU market for PCs and laptops with its own Arm-based N1 and N1X chips. While they didn’t show up at CES or Computex, Nvidia introduced something else instead — the GB10 processor for AI systems, developed in partnership with MediaTek. Interestingly, the N1X might use identical silicon. Nvidia has now revealed its specs, giving us a better idea of what to expect. Read more “GB10 or N1X?

GeForce RTX 3080 vs. RTX 5080 Thermals: Normal or Overheating?

Extra tests, Graphics | | Adam Vágner

Nvidia surprised many by changing the boost limits on the new GeForce RTX 50 series, removing the option to set a temperature limit during overclocking. Now, only the power limit is adjustable, and specs list only the GPU’s maximum temperature. We’ll look at how this affects GPU Boost compared to the RTX 30 series, what happens to clock speeds and performance when limits are hit, and how to tell if your GeForce is overheating.
