Intel Arc Alchemist was released over two years ago. Even so, Intel is still making new products based on the technology. At Embedded World 2024, the company announced six new GPUs designed for edge and embedded applications. While the new Alchemist GPUs have garnered significant attention, they may be the …

Due to RTX 40 Super launching in early 2024, we were unsure if we would see new-gen gaming GPUs from Nvidia this year, and earlier rumours did point to an early 2025 launch, rather than the usual Q3/Q4 launch window. However, new reports citing board partner sources claim that Nvidia's first RTX 50 series GPUs will arrive later this year after all.

Intel's upcoming discrete graphics architecture, Battlemage, remains shrouded in secrecy. However, that might start changing soon. Recently, two unknown GPUs believed to be based on the Battlemage architecture were spotted on the SiSoftware Sandra website. According to posts on the SiSoftware Sandra website (via @miktdt), Intel is currently working on …

AMD recently released a new driver (24.3.1) that brings full overclocking support to the Radeon RX 7900 GRE “Golden Rabbit Edition” graphics card.  This card was previously only available in the Chinese market but is now available worldwide. At launch, reviewers (including us) noted issues with overclocking, which resulted in …

About a year after launching a new series, Nvidia typically releases new SKUs based on non-standard GPUs. These GPUs have deactivated cores that would otherwise go unused, and instead of discarding them, the company reduces the specifications to match lower-end devices. This means a card like RTX 4070 may have …

Intel Arc drivers have come along way since the first discrete GPUs from Intel first hit the market. Since launch, we've seen massive performance gains for older DirectX titles, as well as improvements for other APIs like Vulkan. This week's update brings more impressive performance gains, as well as support …

It's a stripped-back graphics card without a ton of features - but is it worth buying?

The FSR 3 update has finally rolled out, improving the adoption rate of AMD's latest FSR version. However, there are some mixed opinions floating around...

We've heard through rumours that Nvidia's next generation graphics architecture will be formally named as 'Blackwell'. This week at GTC, Nvidia officially announced exactly that, with the Blackwell platform promising to usher in "a new era" of computing. 

This week, Nvidia announced the launch of its next-generation Blackwell GPU architecture, designed for data centres and AI acceleration. The first Blackwell GPU, the B100, is going to be made available this year, with the likes of Microsoft, Amazon and Google already lining up to secure the GPU for their …

Acer has recently entered the gaming graphics card market. First, it launched a few Intel Arc models, followed by various Radeon RX 7000 series cards. However, the brand wants to expand further in this market, specifically into the high-end segment, by launching two new graphics cards: the Radeon RX 7900 …

Although Nvidia's Blackwell GPU line-up should be mostly similar to Ada in terms of memory specifications, the flagship seems to be the exception. Instead of a 384-bit memory bus like the one used on the AD102 GPU, the successor, the GB202, is expected to feature a 512-bit memory bus. Not …

We check out no less than four RX 7900 GRE models from Sapphire and Gigabyte

Resizable BAR is a useful feature that can improve GPU performance. The catch is that enabling it is restricted to newer-gen systems. On the Nvidia side, you need at least an RTX 30 series GPU to activate it, but a new mod will enable the use of ReBar on GTX …

Contrary to previous rumours, it looks like the memory buses of the Nvidia RTX 50 series won't be much different from what we've seen in the RTX 30 and 40 series. Based on recent reports, the flagship GB202 GPU will feature a 384-bit memory bus, just like its predecessors. However, …

There is chatter that Nvidia is in the process of discontinuing the GTX 16 series of GPUs, bringing an end for the Turing generation and possibly marking the end of GTX graphics cards, as Nvidia now places far more focus on its RTX line-up.  Over at the Board Channels Forum …

Last year, in July 2023, the Radeon RX 7900 GRE was first released exclusively for China, but since then, AMD has decided to introduce this SKU to the global DIY market. The card has been widely reviewed by outlets (including us), where many noticed the limitations when trying to overclock …

AMD and its partners have recently expanded the availability of the RX 7900 GRE. Originally launched as an exclusive GPU for the Chinese market, AMD is now launching the RX 7900 GRE via system integrators in other markets. Following the launch into European retailers, the card has arrived in the …

Back in October, AMD was forced to remove its Anti-Lag+ feature from Radeon graphics drivers. Due to the way the feature functioned, it could trip up false positives in the anti-cheat systems of multiplayer games like Counter-Strike 2. The feature has been missing in action ever since, but it should …

The RTX 4070 Super has been out for just a few weeks. At its launch MSRP of £579, we found it to be the best value RTX 40-series card available but surprisingly, prices are already starting to drop a bit.  While the Founder's Edition RTX 4070 Super carries the MSRP …
