We reviewed the Lenovo Legion 5 17, the latest gaming laptop from Lenovo, and were satisfied with the performance and noise levels. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600H and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 mobile GPU have a lot of potential without breaking the bank.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 2050 manages to score 9,673 on the 3D Mark Fire Strike benchmark. In terms of performance, it sits between the Turing-based GeForce GTX 1650 and GTX 1660 Ti and could match the Ampere-based GeForce MX570, as they both share the same GA107 GPU.

The Kone XP is the latest mouse from ROCCAT, complete with its series' signature shape and Owl-Eye 19K DPI optical sensor. However, it boasts 15 buttons, which have up to 29 possible functions, and more extensive, tunable RGB lighting. The NVIDIA Reflex-compatible Kone XP also benefits from a Titan optical switch with a 100 million-click life cycle.

Not only does MSI equip the latest GS66 generation with a brand-new Alder Lake CPU, but also with an updated Ampere GPU. The GeForce RTX 3070 Ti of the base 12UGS variant already promises enough performance to handle the QHD display.

Some astonishing Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 series-related power requirement rumors have surfaced. A well-known leaker has claimed that the flagship Lovelace AD102 GPU, which should appear in an RTX 4090 or 4090 Ti card, has a high-end TGP figure of 850 W. This would mean a 1,500 W and above PSU would be required to eke out full performance levels.

Dell has launched the G15 5520, a refreshed version of the 5510. The G15 5520 arrives with a choice between two Intel Alder Lake-P processors, GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs and three display options. Also, the G15 5520 has DDR5 RAM, up to 1 TB of storage and an 86 Wh battery.

Zotac has officially listed three Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti desktop graphics card variants featuring a GA103 GPU. Other than the GPU swap, it seems to have identical specs to its GA104-toting sibling, including 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and 4,864 CUDA cores.

(Update: Malware warning) A public beta of the nifty little piece of software for cryptominers will be released in the coming few days, and it could possibly impact the prices of all Nvidia's RTX GPUs with the infamous hashrate limiter.

China is reacting to new outbreaks of the Omicron variant of the Coronavirus with partial lockdowns. This could further delay the availability of laptops with 12th Gen Intel Core processors and Nvidia's Ti graphics cards, which debuted at the beginning of the year. The first factories have already been closed in Suzhou in the east of the country. Supply chain and logistics bottlenecks, a shortage of certain chip types and price increases are already on the horizon.

Generational performance improvement estimates for the upcoming Nvidia Lovelace family and AMD RDNA3 next-gen graphics cards have seemingly left the rivals looking evenly matched. Figures were compared to the performance of the GeForce RTX 3090. A noted tipster has also signaled that GPU prices will fall “dramatically” in March.

Razer is now accepting orders for its refreshed Blade 14 equipped with AMD's latest Zen 3+ Ryzen 6900HX CPU, DDR5 RAM, and GeForce RTX 3070 Ti or 3080 Ti graphics. Prices range from $2000 up to $3500 USD with shipments expected to begin on March 17.

While the i7-12700H + RTX 3050 Ti combo may seem questionable, the US$1,099 price point is undoubtedly enticing. Colorful's latest X15 XS models also come equipped with 16 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM and a 512 GB NVMe SSD, plus there is an i5-12500H model for US$999, as well.

One of the fastest 14-inch gaming laptops in the market seem to be always on sale every few weeks or so. This time, a fully configured model can be had for hundreds of dollars less than the competing Razer Blade 14 equipped with the same GeForce RTX 3060 GPU.

Thanks to a steep discount and an additional mail-in rebate, MSI's powerful GP66 Leopard 15-inch gaming laptop with an Intel Core i7 and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 is currently offered for just US$1,799 at the well-known American retailer Newegg.

Nvidia has officially declared that it has no new information about the GeForce RTX 300 Ti in a statement to The Verge. Initially slated for a January 2022 launch, the graphics card got pushed back due to hardware issues, presumably because of its high power requirements.

GPU prices are falling drastically and availability is the best it has ever been since January 2021 according to a report by 3DCenter. The current fall in the prices can be attributed to the recent cryptocurrency crash that has seen the price of ETH go down as low as US$2,242.

Laptop hardware has come so far since its inception. We have gone from having hideous, slow, thick monstrosities to thin, beautiful designs that come dangerously close to rivalling desktop performance. So where did these next wacky ideas come from?

Igor's Lab reports that Nvidia is working on a GeForce RTX 3050 version. It will be powered by a GA107 GPU and draw 115 W of power. The graphics card could be launched alongside the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 16 GB variant in the coming weeks.

The next generation of GPUs coming from both AMD and Nvidia have been broken down into subsequent chips, models, and manufacturing process by a well-known leaker. The breakdown is a best guess scenario, with one of the tipster’s followers offering suggestions of relative VRAM amounts.

Price predictions for both the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 and the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT have been offered up by a YouTuber who focuses their channel mostly on graphics cards. Estimates for the RTX 4090 and RX 7900 XT come in at just under US$2,000, with the AMD Navi 31-based card expected to outperform the Lovelace AD102 GPU-powered rival.

An EEC listing for an unknown Nvidia GPU has shown up with the model number PG136C. The entry is rumored to be for the upcoming RTX 3090 Ti. The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti was previously reported to have been delayed indefinitely.

As a part of its supposed anti-bot measures, Best Buy allowed only users with a US$199 Totaltech subscription a chance at buying Nvidia RTX 3000 series graphics cards. However, there wasn't a limit on the number of purchases per account, which effectively allowed scalpers/bots to walk away with a good chunk of the GPUs.

If you want a 14-inch gaming laptop even thinner than the Razer Blade 14, then be prepared to pony up two grand for Dell's thinnest and lightest gaming laptop yet equipped with both vapor chamber and liquid metal cooling.

The Nvidia GeForce MX550 laptop graphics card has shown up on the PassMark benchmark database. It nets an overall score of 5,014, which is 37% faster than the GeForce MX450. The entry-level graphics card runs a TU117 GPU, but the rest of its specs are unknown.

Fresh retailer prices for the missing-in-action GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card have turned up online, and if accurate they indicate price tags in the range of the equivalent of US$5,000. This time, they were SKUs from Asus while unpriced boards from Palit’s GameRock range have also been spotted.

IdeaCentre may be one of Lenovo's more business-like lines, yet still has a Gaming version of its desktop that it has released over the years as of late. According to a new leak, the latest variant with 12th-gen Intel processors and a variety of graphics options (RTX 3060-series cards included) may be released soon. A new case design with subtle RGB accents might also be involved.

A Japanese retailer has listed the MSI RTX 3090 Ti Suprim X 24G for backorder on its website with an absurd price tag. RTX 3090 Ti, which NVIDIA announced at CES 2022, has yet to hit the market. Till today, NVIDIA has given no official release date or the MSRP of the GPU.

A couple of troubling rumors have been shared about Nvidia’s flagship GeForce RTX 3090 Ti graphics card. The Ampere board still hasn’t been properly launched yet and now it appears that its release has been delayed “indefinitely”. On top of that, an astronomical price tag for the RTX 3090 Ti from a Vietnamese retailer is supposedly right on the money.

More high-end performance options are now available for Linux-based users through the introduction of the updated System76 Kudu6 laptops that now feature the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X APU and Nvidia's RTX 3060 GPUs.

Dell is offering a couple of incredible deals on RTX 30-series laptops at the moment. There is a choice between a notebook from the well-respected Dell XPS line and the powerful Alienware gaming range, in the form of an XPS 17 and M15 R4, respectively. Shoppers can save over US$1,000 on the M15 R4 gaming laptop with RTX 3070 GPU.

You can now get the lightweight ultrabook Schenker Vision 14 with a dedicated RTX 3050 Ti GPU, but still weighs less than 1.2 kg. The compact laptop leaves a good impression in many regards, but there are also some drawbacks and Intel's H35 CPU is not really convincing, either.

An investigation into Nvidia’s Lite Hash Rate (LHR) solution to prevent GeForce RTX 30 series boards from being bought up en masse by crypto miners has revealed that many involved in the crypto craze were not discouraged by Team Green’s limiter. Third-party software is available to bypass the LHR mining lock and raise the rate.

It's another GPU launch gone awry. And this time, it is the high-demand entry-level segment that is feeling the pinch. The Nvidia RTX 3050 that is supposed to have a US$250 MSRP, with some variations in AiB pricing, is already out of stock at major retailers around the world. What's worse is that the odd card or two in stock is being sold at significant markups putting the budget gamer at a serious disadvantage.

The E1 beast from EVGA packs powerful components like the unreleased RTX 3090 Ti Kingpin edition and Z690 Dark Kingpin mobo with overclocked i9-12900K processor, but it is also quite lean with a custom open air carbon fiber frame and patent pending independent suspension system comprised of steel cables.

There is the possibility that one of the SKUs in the upcoming “Lovelace” GeForce RTX 40 series of graphics cards from Nvidia could eventually break the 100 TFLOPS barrier in regard to graphical compute performance (FP32). A noted leaker claims 90 TFLOPS is on the horizon for a board featuring the AD102 GPU.

Users can pre-order now with an expected ship date by March. Initial benchmarks show Intel's Alder Lake series to be a significant improvement over the previous generation and even outperforming the latest mobile Zen 3 CPUs from AMD in key areas.

Unfortunately, Nvidia chose to compare the RTX 3080 Ti with the 2020 RTX 2080 SUPER. Of course, the performance improvements are clear, but a comparison with the RTX 3080 would have been more appropriate. The Razer Blade 17 2022 used for the RTX 3080 Ti tests appears to not feature the max TGP version and yet performance is comparable to a desktop RTX 3070 Ti.

The average retail prices for units in the Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 series and the AMD Radeon RX 6000 range have dropped slightly in the last three weeks. The fall in prices for the Ampere and RDNA 2-based cards appears to coincide with the weakening Ethereum price and improved stock availability. However, average retail prices are still close to double list prices.

Synthetic benchmark results for the upcoming Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card have been shared, and it seems to be another nail in the coffin for the brand-new AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT board. While the RTX 3050 appears to be likely yet another successful addition to Team Green’s lineup, the much-lambasted RX 6500 XT is practically destined to fail.
