Capcom says it will not ship games containing AI-generated materials or assets, but will use generative AI internally to speed up development across areas like graphics, sound, and programming. The policy, disclosed in a March 23 investor Q&A amid renewed scrutiny following NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 showcase, positions AI as a productivity tool rather than a source of final in-game content.

Machenike has announced plans to release a new gaming-focused mini-PC. Dubbed the Dawn Gaming Mini PC, the new device combines Intel Raptor Lake HX processors with 32 GB of RAM and up to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 laptop GPU.

Lenovo has revealed details of four new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 12GB gaming laptops. At the same time, MSI is preparing to offer the same laptop GPU paired with Intel's new Core Ultra 7 251HX processor.

Nvidia confirms that DLSS5 is just taking a screenshot of the display output and is analyzing it with a generative AI model in order to “enhance” the visual fidelity. The AI model essentially decides what it thinks the final render should look like with little control over the output from the artists.

Lenovo has been spotted releasing a new 15-inch gaming laptop in North America. Officially arriving this spring, the new release combines a 165 Hz OLED display with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB GPU. Also, Lenovo has equipped the new Legion 5i with the unreleased Intel Core Ultra 7 251HX processor.

Dell has now started selling three new gaming laptops powered by Intel's latest Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor. Also configurable with up to 64 GB RAM, 12 TB of storage and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 in some cases, the Alienware 16X Aurora, Alienware 16 Area-51 and Alienware 18 Area-51 are the first laptops to ship with Intel's first Arrow Lake HX Plus processor.

Digital Foundry's Alex Battaglia has criticized DLSS5 for its infringement on artistic vision in games. The game reviewer explains that DLSS 5, in its current form, is clearly doing more than just simply enhancing the lighting of a scene, as, for instance, Grace from Resident Evil Requiem looks like a completely different person with DLSS 5 enabled.

DLSS 5 is probably one of the most controversial technologies in the history of gaming, as Nvidia's artificial intelligence can seriously change the look of a game. A free website now shows what the result would be if any game were made more realistic by AI - with some bizarre consequences.

Capcom artists may not approve of how DLSS 5 reshaped Grace in Resident Evil Requiem. Ubisoft developers also informed Insider Gaming that the Nvidia presentation took them by surprise. Nvidia stated that the publishers collaborated with the company before the controversial demo.

Samsung has unveiled HBM4E at Nvidia GTC 2026 while showing commercial HBM4 for the Vera Rubin platform, alongside broader AI memory, storage, and AI factory plans.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has dismissed gamers’ criticism that DLSS 5 homogenizes game visuals and “yassifies” character faces, calling detractors “completely wrong” after backlash to examples cited from titles like Resident Evil Requiem and Hogwarts Legacy. Huang argues DLSS 5 is “neural rendering” that applies generative AI at the geometry level under developer control rather than a post-processing filter, with its real-world visual and performance impact to be tested ahead of a gradual rollout in fall 2026.

Nvidia DLSS 5 was probably the most controversial announcement at this year's Game Developers Conference, as Nvidia's latest AI feature uses an AI filter to make games more realistic, regardless of artistic intent. The Internet reacted partly with amusement, partly with criticism, but in any case DLSS 5 divides opinions.

Nvidia is stepping on Tesla's toes by notching the biggest EV and ride-share names as customers for its autonomous driving system. It will also be making AI chips for orbital data centers of the type that SpaceX has teased.

Nvidia debuted DLSS 5 at GTC 2026 to make existing games more realistic through AI. However, the reaction to the image output of DLSS 5 has been quite harsh. Fans have criticized DLSS 5 as it appears to push AI slop into mainstream gaming.

Windows 11 KB5077181 (OS Builds 26100.7840/26200.7840) shipped on Feb. 10, 2026. On a Lenovo LOQ test system, KB5077181 installed Feb. 11 (Build 26200.7840) and was followed by Wi-Fi instability, Bluetooth disconnects, stutter, and slow shutdowns.

High-performance gaming laptops are often loud—but the XMG Apex 17 proves that quiet gaming doesn’t have to mean slow gaming. In our testing, switching from Performance mode to Entertainment mode reduces fan noise by up to 60%, while gaming performance drops by only 10 to 12 percent. Here’s how much speed you really lose—and whether quiet mode is the better choice for everyday gaming.

Nvidia has released Linux driver 580.126.18, a recommended update that fixes a kernel module build issue affecting Linux kernel v6.19. Here’s what changed and who should update.

In our review of the XMG Apex 17, it’s not just the GeForce RTX 5060 delivering strong gaming performance — the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX inside sets a new standard for this class. In our CPU benchmarks, the Apex 17 achieves faster multi-core performance than any other RTX 5060 or RTX 5070 gaming laptop we’ve tested so far.

MSI’s $5,090 RTX 5090 Lightning Z was built for extreme overclocking — and it delivered, breaking a Geekbench 5 world record at over 1,000W and 3.5 GHz under liquid nitrogen. But an aggressive 2,500W XOC BIOS and a sudden thermal imbalance ultimately cracked one GPU core, turning a record attempt into a costly casualty.

The supply crunch affecting the RTX 5070 Ti has resulted in the price of the GPU rising by 25% in the US. The GPU now costs $1,000 on average. The RX 9070 XT, AMD's value-oriented answer to the RTX 5070 Ti, has also suffered a 21% price hike. The GPU now reportedly sits at $700 in North America.

In our review, we noted that the RTX 5060 laptop powered by the Ryzen 9 9955HX can outperform some RTX 5070 competitors. Now we’re taking a closer look at exactly which RTX-5070 laptops the Apex 17 manages to outperform—and where it falls behind.
