Even a Temperature Sensor Failed to Prevent 12V-2×6 Cable Melting

Graphics, PSUs, News | | Jan Olšan

The new 12VHPWR—later renamed to 12V-2×6— power connector is plagued with persistent reliability issues involving random overheating, melting, and even burning ever since Nvidia graphics cards adopted it. Since then, every conceivable company—that notably not including Nvidia itself—has been trying out various workarounds. However, it seems that the connector’s tendency to fail is so consistent that even thermal protection cannot stop it. Read more “Even a Temperature Sensor Failed to Prevent 12V-2×6 Cable Melting” »

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.

Intel Titan Lake, Hammer Lake CPUs detailed: Unified Core and HT

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

We previously covered information about Intel’s future Razor Lake processors, expected to launch as the Core Ultra 500 generation likely at the end of 2027 (that is, after the upcoming Nova Lake generation). Moore’s Law is Dead, who leaked those details, also revealed information about the following generations—Titan Lake and Hammer Lake. These are even further out, but they will introduce a long‑awaited, radical architectural shift. Read more “Intel Titan Lake, Hammer Lake CPUs detailed: Unified Core and HT” »

Asus ROG Equalizer: Robust 12+4pin connectors that don’t burn?

Graphics, PSUs | | Jan Olšan

Failures of the 12V‑2×6 power cable (formerly 12VHPWR) have become the scourge of recent GPU generations. Especially for Nvidia cards pushing this power standard, but also for a few Radeon models using these connectors. Various attempts to work around or mitigate the risks have popped up; this time, Asus is introducing the Equalizer special‑purpose cable for its power supplies, that aim to prevent connector melting in several ways.

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 App solves the problem of long shader compilation in games

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Yesterday we reported on an update to the Nvidia App utility for GeForce graphics cards, which brought owners of the latest‑generation GPUs the ability to use 6× frame generation and a dynamic mode in DLSS 4.5. But that’s not the only new feature the company has prepared. This version of Nvidia App includes another improvement that can free you from the annoying waiting for shader compilation, which often takes several minutes.

Dynamic frame generation in DLSS 4.5 to launch in three weeks

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

In January, Nvidia announced DLSS 4.5—a new version of AI upscaling for games with a new AI model and improved frame generation. This can insert up to five artificial frames between two real frames rendered by the game (meaning a sixfold increase of displayed frames). However, the more interesting part may be the addition of a dynamic mode that allows the number of generated frames to be switched on the fly.

Our visit at Nvidia: AI game assistants and G-Sync Pulsar LCDs

Analysis, Graphics, Monitors, Technology | | Jan Olšan

Yesterday, Nvidia hosted a Central European media briefing where they showcased its latest technological developments live. Unsurprisingly, the spotlight was on innovations unveiled or launched last month at CES 2026—namely the G-Sync Pulsar technology for monitors and DLSS 4.5, both of which we have already covered in separate articles—as well as a demo of the ACE technology, which aims to bring AI-driven assistants into games.

Graphics cards to get more expensive, board partners raise prices

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Most hardware is getting more expensive and unfortunately graphics cards are joining the trend. According to Asian sources, major board partners are now raising GPU prices due to increasing costs of GDDR6 and GDDR7 graphics memory. In the short term, this is expected to push prices up by 15–20 %. That may not be the final outcome, however, as further increases could be driven by reduced GPU supply due to supply-and-demand dynamics.

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.

DLSS 4.5 brings 6× frame generation and better image quality

Graphics, News, Technology | | Jan Olšan

Last night, Nvidia held their keynote ahead of CES 2026, which—as usually—only focused on AI, robotics and large enterprises market rather than consumer PCs and devices. Even so, the company does have something new for gamers.  The company is introducing a new generation of their AI-based game rendering—DLSS 4.5. It places even greater emphasis on interpolated frame generation, but improvements go beyond that as well. Read more “DLSS 4.5 brings 6× frame generation and better image quality” »

Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5070 with 3× Noctua NF-A9 Deshroud

Cooling, Extra tests, Graphics | | Adam Vágner

Most mid-range Asus card models allow easy removal of the shroud. We have already tried classic 120mm fans on the card, which do not fit very well on a narrow and long card. With them, the card becomes significantly wider and they do not cover the heatsink along its entire length. A trio of smaller 92mm fans fits a 30cm card better. After testing the low-profile NF-A9x14, we will try how the NF-A9 with the standard 25mm height performs. Read more “Asus Prime GeForce RTX 5070 with 3× Noctua NF-A9 Deshroud” »

MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ventus 2x OC 8 GB review: A Solid Baseline

Extra tests, Graphics | | Adam Vágner

The Ventus 2X OC model with 8 GB of memory is the most affordable GeForce RTX 5060 variant from MSI. It features a compact dual-slot cooler with a length of 20 cm, making it suitable even for small-form-factor cases. The cooler is slightly louder than average due to overly high fan speeds, but it has sufficient headroom for manual fan speed reduction. But with 8 GB of memory, compromises are necessary in the most demanding games. Read more “MSI GeForce RTX 5060 Ventus 2x OC 8 GB review: A Solid Baseline” »

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.
