Can a 100 W GeForce RTX 3070 beat a 140 W GeForce RTX 3060? Apparently not. Buying a gaming laptop these days can be harder than it needs to be when performance between different GPUs often overlap.

A Core i9-12900HK CPU combined with a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU with access to 16 GB of VRAM are more than powerful enough to run all current games smoothly on the Aero 16's 16:10 4K OLED display. The device also comes with two Thunderbolt 4 ports.

More details about the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti have emerged, a few days before the card's rumoured announcement and release. NVIDIA's partners will sell the RTX 3090 Ti with up to a 3.5-slot design, while the card's power requirements call for new power cables.

The alleged AD102 RTX 4000-series PCB presented by Igor's LAB reveals memory configurations with up to 24 GB GDDR6X VRAM, pin layouts featuring the PCIe 5.0 standard, 28-phase voltage supply, and 3-slot or 3.5-slot air cooling solutions, plus possible AIO and water blocks straight from the factory.

With a 4K display and RTX graphics card, the basics are ideal for working with videos and images. But aside from that, our test also reveals some weaknesses that can only be balanced by the price point.

AMD admits that switching from spatial to temporal upscaling can be a bit more taxing on the GPUs, but the new FSR 2.0 upscaler should work even on Nvidia's GTX 16-series with good results. Team Red also reveals that FSR 2.0 implementation is fastest on games that already include DLSS 2.0 support.

NVIDIA may not have released the RTX 3090 Ti yet, but it has showcased six new workstation and studio GPUs. Ranging from the RTX A500 to the RTX A5500, all the new GPU options rely on NVIDIA's Ampere architecture.

The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti has appeared sporting some shocking price tags in a leaked retailer listing. Two board variants were spotted, with both of them coming from Asus. AIB modifications will add to the price tag, and it is not known whether Nvidia will actually publish an MSRP for the long-awaited RTX 3090 Ti.

Laptops tend to get thinner every year, but is this really a good thing for a gaming system? We are not sure and the new Alienware x14 shows that a thin chassis requires compromises in terms of performance.

Even though the GPU heist itself was successful, trying to sell the almost two dozen brand-new Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Ti graphics cards at a local pawn shop may not have been the smartest move by the three Russian robbers.

The Apple M1 Ultra has been absolutely flattened by the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 in a synthetic benchmark and gaming comparison. This particular M1 Ultra, in a brand-new Apple Mac Studio, was the 20-core CPU/64-core GPU model, which is as high-end as it gets. But the RTX 3090 was able to score over +158% higher than the Apple silicon in one synthetic benchmark.

GPU prices on eBay have dropped almost 9% in the first two weeks of March 2022 according to Tom's Hardware. Compared to December 2021, the prices have come down by an average of 25%. Both the current-gen and the last-gen GPUs experienced this price reduction.

The Zenbook 14X OLED starts at $1399 USD with the Core i7-1165G7 CPU, ScreenPad 2.0, and GeForce MX450 GPU while the Zenbook Flip OLED starts at $1099 USD with the Ryzen 7 5800H. Both models carry the same 16:10 2.8K OLED touchscreen but with very different chassis designs.

A new rumor about the Navi 33 GPU from AMD claims that the next-gen entry-level graphics processor will be able to match, and even outperform, the flagship Navi 21 chip from the Radeon RX 6000 series. In addition, the Radeon RX 7000 series will likely require much lower power draws than the GeForce RTX 40 lineup for high-performance usage.

The Total Graphics Power (TGP) figure for the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 has supposedly been confirmed. Apparently, it stands at a toasty 600 W, considerably higher than its Ampere counterpart. In addition, an astonishing figure of 800 W or more for the potential GeForce RTX 4090 Ti has also been suggested.

The Razer Blade 15 series has been utilizing the same chassis design for almost five years running. Despite the lack of any major physical changes between yearly models, the internal updates have nonetheless added up over time. If you have the original 2018 model, would it be worth upgrading to the 2022 model even though they look almost identical?

A refreshed Lenovo Legion 7i gaming notebook has turned up on a retailer site sporting big-budget specs for an unsurprisingly high price. The 2022 Legion 7i retains its predecessor's 16-inch form while updating the CPU and GPU components, bringing in Intel’s 12th Gen Core i9-12900HX processor and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop chip.

You can get the regular Surface Laptop with Intel or AMD processors, but Microsoft equips the new high-end device Surface Laptop Studio with old Tiger Lake quad-core CPUs, which are hardly competitive anymore. The manufacturer saved money in other respects as well.

A potent Intel Core i9-12900HX and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Lenovo laptop has been spotted on Geekbench producing predictably impressive results. The i9-12900HX Alder Lake part has 16 cores and 24 threads and hit a peak rate of 4,888 MHz. It’s likely that the unnamed device was a 2022 Legion 7i gaming notebook being put through its paces.

YouTuber Moore's Law is Dead has leaked a trove of new information about the Nvidia AD102 GPU that will reportedly be featured in the RTX 4090/RTX 4080. The information includes alleged TDP numbers and GDDR memory spec for the upcoming chip. The YouTuber also confirmed incredible performance numbers for Nvidia's next-gen lineup.

Embargo dates for the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti have leaked, a graphics card that NVIDIA teased in January at CES 2022. Unlike recent GeForce RTX 30 series releases, the RTX 3090 Ti's announcement, review and on-shelf embargo all end simultaneously. As such, the RTX 3090 Ti will be orderable right after NVIDIA announces the card later this month.

Some GeForce RTX 3080 Ti laptops are faster than other laptops with the same GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. Just like with many Max-Q laptops in the past, the often overlooked TGP values shouldn't be ignored when deciding between different gaming laptops based on performance.

Average prices for AMD Radeon RX 6000 series cards and boards from the Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 range have hit a 12-month low according to a new report. The data was taken from numerous German and Austrian retailers and could indicate that RX 6000 and RTX 30 series graphics cards may soon hit MSRP levels.

A new leak suggests that Nvidia will launch the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti on March 29 after ironing out problems with its memory. Nvidia has also cancelled the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 16 GB variant outright.

A year after launching Resident Evil: Village, Capcom announced that it will be adding official ray-tracing support to Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3. These enhanced updates will arrive on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

A super-thin and sleek gaming laptop can only be as portable as the AC adapter that comes with it. With the power-hungry Intel Alder Lake-H series, GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, and RTX 3080 Ti now available, potential buyers will want to prepare for the accompanying bulky power bricks.

The South American hacker collective allegedly put the confidential data that was stolen in a recent cyber attack to good use and has developed a bypass tool for Nvidia's cryptomining hashrate limiter that is integrated in most GeForce RTX GPUs.

NVIDIA's DLSS source code leak didn't just spill secrets from NVIDIA; it may have also revealed that Nintendo is indeed working on a successor to the Nintendo Switch. While it's unlikely the Japanese gaming giant is gearing up to release a brand new console, wording in the DLSS source code leak hint that a revised or "Pro" version of the Switch is in the works.

This information appears to be coming via the hacked confidential data stolen from Nvidia a few days ago. The images show driver code mentioning six Ada Lovelace SKUs, two Hopper SKUs and two more Blackwell SKUs. Judging by the number of SKUs, Ada Lovelace is clearly Ampere's successor, and we already knew that Hopper is targeting data centers, but it is still unclear what Blackwell is bringing to the table.

Lenovo has refreshed the ThinkPad X1 Extreme, its flagship multimedia laptop. Now on its fifth generation, the ThinkPad X1 Extreme includes powerful Intel Alder Lake processors and a choice of four dedicated NVIDIA GPUs. Lenovo continues to equip the ThinkPad X1 Extreme with socketed RAM and storage too.

It's Max-Q all over again. Certain GeForce RTX 3070 Ti laptops can be up to 20 percent faster than others with the exact same GPU due to the wide TGP range between laptop models. If you're in the market for a fancy RTX 3070 Ti or RTX 3080 Ti laptop, then be sure to look at the specified TGP target whenever possible to get the most out of the GPU.

Nvidia has reportedly been the victim of a ransomware attack, with the hackers successfully making off with over 1 TB of sensitive date from Team Green’s servers.
