MSI has quietly confirmed that Nvidia intends to release a new RTX 50 series graphics card with more VRAM than its existing variant. Paired with Intel's new Core Ultra 7 251HX and Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processors, MSI will sell the Crosshair 16 Max HX E2WGXK exclusively with a 12 GB version of the GeForce RTX 5070.

Defective graphics cards cost Nvidia almost a billion US dollars in 2025, ten times as much as in the previous year. The combination of the vulnerable 16-pin power connector, increased use for AI applications and extended sales apparently lead to a drastically higher number of warranty claims.

Pragmata reviews are revealing that graphics cards with 8GB of VRAM may struggle. A popular tech site had to adjust settings to achieve smooth 1440p performance on an RTX 4060. Capcom has also prevented testers from comparing GPU benchmarks until closer to the Pragmata release date.

Nvidia could be planning new memory configurations for its mid-tier RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti models. It is expected to increase the memory capacity from 8 GB GDDR6 to 9 GB GDDR7.

Nvidia is said to be planning the largest takeover in the history of the PC market, and could thus change the laptop, PC and server market forever - and bundle a market power that comes close to a monopoly.

A recent product listing on Goofish has revealed an engineering sample of a laptop motherboard housing the upcoming Nvidia N1 SoC. Laptops powered by Nvidia's N1 family of SoCs have been rumored for a long time, and are expected to arrive later this year.

Veteran artist Mark Linington says Nvidia’s DLSS 5 demos have pushed AI-assisted rendering beyond simple enhancement and into reinterpretation territory, creating new concerns about creative control, authorship, and whether the final image still belongs to the artists who built it.

DLSS 5 stirred a huge controversy in the gaming and game development world as it was seemingly adding geometry and detail that wasn’t originally present. A YouTuber has now tried to debunk those claims with some comparisons of the original vs DLSS on footage.

As gamers are frequently annoyed by the dreaded shader compilation progress bar, Nvidia has decided to do something about those long game loading times. A new Automatic Shader Compilation tool comes with the latest Nvidia drivers update.

New Blood Interactive CEO David Oshry and Dusk creator David Szymanski have criticized Nvidia’s forthcoming DLSS 5, set to launch this fall on RTX 50-series GPUs, arguing that its shift toward generative AI goes beyond super-sampling and muddies what DLSS is meant to be. Both warn that “optional” adoption may become effectively mandatory as games are built around the tech, and they urge developers and consumers to push back by withholding collaboration and spending.

Lenovo has released a new 16-inch laptop in North America with 32 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM and a 120 Hz OLED display. The 16IPH11 also combines a 16-core Panther Lake processor with an Nvidia dGPU that has a 105 W TGP. Currently, the IdeaPad Pro 5i is only available as a 16-inch laptop in North America.

The Gigabyte A16 Pro promises a lot: a slim chassis, RTX 5070 Ti, a bright display, and solid battery life—all at a relatively low price. But in everyday use, unexpected weaknesses show up in connectivity, drivers, and efficiency. Can it still deliver as an affordable creator laptop?

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 creative director Daniel Vávra has publicly defended Nvidia’s DLSS 5 amid widespread backlash over its early “uncanny” visual demos, arguing the neural-rendering tech will improve and may eventually reduce reliance on costly ray tracing. Vávra says “haters won’t stop” DLSS 5’s adoption, predicting developers will learn to tune it to specific art styles even as he acknowledges his past skepticism toward AI-generated art.

Asus has revealed the extent of its global launch plans for one of its next 18-inch gaming laptops. Launching in eight SKUs, the ROG Strix G18 2026 departs from last year's model in a few areas while retaining an ultra-bright Mini LED display and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 laptop GPU.

Asus has revealed more details about its new 16-inch gaming laptop. Set for a global launch, the laptop will be available in six variants with Intel's Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor. The ROG Strix G16 2026 will be configurable with up to Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5080 laptop GPU, too.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has softened his stance on criticism of DLSS 5 after initially dismissing gamers as “completely wrong” following the technology’s GTC 2026 showcase. In a Lex Fridman podcast interview, Huang said he understands concerns about “AI slop” and insisted DLSS 5 is intended as an optional, artist-controlled development tool amid controversy sparked by an altered Resident Evil Requiem demo and Capcom’s subsequent rejection of generative AI for final assets.

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.

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.
