MSI lowered the MSRP for the Ventus 3X OC RTX 4080 card by US$100 and Newegg offered for a little over 24 h an additional US$100 promo code. Prices are back to normal now, but such flash sales signal that AIBs are now more inclined to offer substantial deals on select RTX 4080 cards.

Researchers may have found the culprit behind the sudden unintended acceleration problem that Tesla vehicles have often been accused of. While investigations by NHTSA and Tesla attributed it to acceleration pedal mishaps, invertor voltage spikes may have mimicked erratic driver behaviour.

It appears that Fiat has witnessed the effect of nostalgia in the electric vehicle market, and it wants some of that pie too. The new all-electric Fiat 600e compact SUV has launched with plenty of retro flair and a very convincing spec sheet to boot. As platform partners with the Jeep Avenger, the Fiat 600e has the same WLTP range of 400 km (248 miles) and 115 kW (~154 hp) of power.

A new rumour now hints that the a6700 will ship with 6K video chops, setting it up as a competent vlogging camera.
