Blackwell RTX 5000

The massive 18-inch laptop doesn't care about being "thin-and-light" if it means squeezing as much performance as possible out of the mobile GeForce RTX 5090.

After a decline in USD value, European gamers are seeing prices slashed on RTX 50-series GPUs. Nvidia has updated its pricing for several EU countries and the UK. Unfortunately, the changes are unlikely to make finding Blackwell cards at MSRP easier.

Dell has announced Premium versions of its new Pro Max 14 and 16 enterprise-grade laptops. They are equipped with tandem OLED displays of up to 4K in resolution, driven by next-gen RTX Pro Blackwell graphics. The PCs will also have Thunderbolt 4 to 5 ports to go with their HDMI 2.1, WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 specs.

The Pro Max 14 and 16 are Dell's latest entry-level enterprise-grade laptops. They are powered by Arrow Lake-based Intel Core Ultra processors and can be configured with Nvidia Pro Blackwell GPUs. The OEM has now finally revealed when they will start to show up on the market in 2025.

PowerGPU, a US-based system integrator, has expressed disappointment and concern regarding RTX 5090 pricing. The company claims that it is getting quoted more than $3000 for even the low-end RTX 5090 models from distribution.

With declining stock levels, Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 prices continue to climb. Hardware Unboxed has posted a comprehensive breakdown of why so few GPUs are selling at MSRP. AMD's inadequate rebate program is partly to blame for the high pricing.

An early retail listing has revealed when Acer expects to start offering the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 in laptop form. The company has also confirmed that Nvidia will grace the GeForce RTX 5060 with GDDR7 VRAM, albeit only 8 GB of it.

A new leak has provided initial details about the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 for laptops. Seemingly, the laptop version will ship with faster VRAM than desktop variants, which will be stuck with older GDDR6 VRAM.

The official arrival of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 and GeForce RTX 5060 Ti could almost be upon us. According to a new leak, Nvidia plans to lift the lid on all desktop variants later this week, including a 16 GB version of the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti.

As buyers await the Nvidia RTX 5060 debut, manufacturers are preparing gaming PCs using the GPU. A leak from a French online retailer gives insight into the value of the Blackwell card. Official confirmation of RTX 5060 specs and price could happen within the next week.

AMD's launch of the RX 9070 has exceeded expectations. With ample supply, the RDNA 4 GPU leads its Nvidia 50-series opposition in sales leaderboards. The lack of models priced at MSRP hasn't deflated enthusiastic buyers.

The launch of the GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti cards could be right around the corner. Not only that, but the GeForce RTX 5060 could be 45% cheaper than the GeForce RTX 5070.

Buyers who have invested thousands of dollars into an RTX 5090 can keep gaming with their high-powered GPUs. MSI has cleared up rumors of a potential recall originating from a Dutch retailer. Still, reports of burned power connectors and bricked RTX 5090 cards are a cause for concern.

Taking aim at Nvidia, the RX 9070 XT is one of the best values of any recently released GPU. Sadly, some buyers are finding the lack of options at its $599 MSRP disappointing. Also, RDNA 4 cards may see price increases after retailers restock inventories.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card has quietly slotted into PassMark’s G3D Mark chart for high-end video cards. The RTX 5070 has taken up an unassuming spot above the RTX 4070 and almost on the same level as an RTX 4090. Unfortunately, the latter is the Laptop GPU variant, with the desktop RTX 4090 way beyond the performance level of the new Blackwell board.

The RTX 5070 is set to grace store shelves today March 5th while the RX 9070/XT releases a day later. When AMD's RDNA 4 offerings are available to purchase, the GPUs are expected to have tons more supply than the RTX 5070 according to a new leak by Moore's Law Is Dead.

Those looking to buy the RTX 5070 Founders Edition cards will have to wait till later this month as Nvidia has informed reviewers about a delay, just before the reviews drop. This delay will reportedly affect global markets.

A recently released AMD tech demo shows advancements with the RX 9070 series. Unfortunately, the improved path tracing effects didn't wow all gamers. Viewers have pointed out more ghosting and artifacts than seen with the Nvidia RTX 50-series GPUs.

RTX 5080 buyers are experiencing déjà vu, as RTX 5070 Ti prices on store sites are already higher than on its release date. After revisions, most MSI cards cost significantly more than the $749.99 MSRP. So far, the arrival of the $599 RX 9070 XT is not leading to more affordable Nvidia GPUs.

GPU Compute test results of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 on PassMark could improve as the site has released a patch that should solve the problems that the Blackwell card had previously faced. Even before the patch, one beefed-up RTX 5090-based system produced a score that was nearly 10x the previous average result.

Lenovo has unveiled an upgraded 16-inch Yoga Pro 9i Aura at MWC 2025.

The RTX 5080 with eight fewer ROPs becomes noticeably slower in some games according to a new analysis. The difference in performance between a perfect RTX 5080 with full ROPs and a faulty unit is shown to be as much as 10+%.

Scalpers are drooling over the prospect of flipping the RTX 5070. Even so, gamers can target many different models priced at $549.99. With the RTX 5070 release date approaching, more U.S. retailers are listing the GPUs.

CyberPowerPC, a system integrator, has presented its customers a guarantee against faulty RTX 50 GPUs with missing ROPs. It was discovered recently that a small number of RTX 50 cards, including the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 Ti, include fewer-than-advertised ROPs.

Like DLSS 4, AMD's FSR 4 uses AI to maximize framerates with minimal quality loss. Games must also be updated to use the new upscaling features. What popular titles might see a generational leap in performance?

An Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090D graphics card has appeared on PassMark and delivered an incredible result despite having to overcome a couple of potential challenges. The RTX 5090D topped the high-end video card chart by an impressive margin while also managing to produce double the DirectX 12 test result of the RTX 4090.

Black screens have turned the thrill of finding an RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 in stock into frustration. The issue appears without warning when gaming or even enabling/disabling displays. RTX 50-series owners are hoping a new Nvidia driver update eliminates the bug.

The RTX 5070 is reportedly set to suffer the same dismal fate as its bigger brothers at launch with low supply. Based on the information from a major online retailer shared by Moore's Law Is Dead, the RTX 5070 will likely be hard to buy. Naturally, low launch stock will result in massive price hikes by scalpers.

The first Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU sample has landed on PassMark and delivered a healthy, but unfortunately compromised, benchmark result. The RTX 5090 Laptop managed to become the best-performing mobile GPU on the site, but it is currently stuck at RTX 4060 Laptop levels in the GPU Compute test, likely because of software support issues.

The performance issues that the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 seemed to have on the PassMark benchmark website have apparently been solved, with future visits by the new Blackwell cards potentially offering better results. However, the reason behind the RTX 50 issues may cause even more problems in the future for gamers.

Asus has opened pre-orders for the 16- and 18-inch variants of its 2025 ROG Strix Scar series, both of which have up to RTX 5090 graphics. The laptops feature advanced cooling for their Intel Core Ultra 9 silicon, which drives a mini LED versions of their 240Hz ROG Nebula display. The Strix Scar (2025) line starts at ~$2,700, but to say it doesn't stay there is an understatement.

The 2025 version of the ROG Strix G18 laptop has descended on North America with RTX 5080 graphics, an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX platform and a 500-nit 240Hz 2.5K display. It is backed for productivity as well as gaming, yet has a decent amount of RGB that includes underlighting.

It is now official: RTX 5080 is also plagued by the issue of fewer-than-advertised ROPs, making it the fourth RTX 50 GPU to be affected by the issue. Gamers who have, unfortunately, ended up with faulty RTX 5080 GPUs will have to bring their cards to the board maker themselves for replacement.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti card, which has only just been released, has turned up on the PassMark benchmark site. The new Blackwell board has delivered a promising average result so far, based on a small sample size. However, the RTX 5070 Ti was not able to surpass the RTX 4070 Ti and struggled in the GPU Compute test.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card has been knocked off its perch at the top of PassMark’s high-end video card benchmark chart. The RTX 4090 has moved back into the number one spot, with a very slight advantage of +1.02%. The new Blackwell GeForce RTX 50 series cards have suffered a bumpy ride since their initial launch in January.

Nvidia has clarified why some GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards have been reaching consumers with worse performance than advertised. While the problem should only be present in fewer than 1% of cards, it has also hit the GeForce RTX 5090D and GeForce RTX 5070 Ti.

Nvidia has introduced a new program aimed at giving gamers the chance to buy an RTX 5090 and the RTX 5080. Titled "Verified Priority Access", the program gives gamers the opportunity to snag either the RTX 5090 or the RTX 5080 directly from Nvidia.
