This year's Focus 17 gaming laptop from XMG is marketed as one of the more affordable gaming laptops powered by the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti. In order to keep prices below €2,000, XMG kept the previous gen Raptor Lake/-R processors and the port selection is missing TB4 connectors. However, the 17.3-inch screen features a quality IPS panel with 1440p resolution and 240 Hz.

Over a year after installing a WireView power monitoring tool on his RTX 4090 TUF, a viewer contacted der8auer with signs of GPU failure, ultimately traced to a melted 12VHPWR connector. The video not only documents a successful repair, but also calls into question Nvidia's claim that its official adapters prevent melting through integrated current bridging.

Gamers who are in the market for an RTX 5060 laptop can choose between devices tending towards €1,000 and those approaching the €2,000 mark. Using Lenovo's LOQ 15 and Legion 5 as examples, we'll help with that purchase decision.

Lenovo's new Legion 5 15 is an impressive showcase that you do not have to spend a fortune for a good gaming laptop. But what features are missing compared to more expensive models like the Legion Pro 5?

Imagine spending almost $5000 on one of the fastest and most feature-packed gaming laptops in the world only to find that it has no 4K or HDR display options.

An early review has now confirmed what the specifications already suggest: The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 is slower than last generation’s GeForce RTX 4060. Even the Intel Arc B580 outperforms the RTX 5050, whilst offering significantly more graphics memory for a minimal price premium.

Not all GeForce RTX 5090 laptops are created equal. If you want the fastest version of the GPU, then the Alienware 18 Area-51 should be on the top of your list.

We've tested the 16-inch variant sof both the Legion Pro 5 and the Legion Pro 7. The Pro 7 is considerably more expensive, so what are the differences? We'll clarify and also take a look at our benchmark results.

The big topic with Nvidia's new mainstream mobile GPUs is the amount of VRAM and many users complain about 8 GB. This is also the case for the Razer Blade 14, but is it really that big of a deal? And then there is also the topic of the price.

Nvidia has announced that its upcoming Release 580 driver will be the last to support for Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta GPU architectures, affecting popular graphics cards including the GTX 700, 900, and 10 series, as well as the Titan V. While users can continue using existing drivers, they will no longer receive Game Ready updates, performance optimizations, or security improvements once the 590 series launches. The newer Turing-based GTX 16 series remains unaffected by this change.

Nvidia is expected to launch the RTX 50 Super GPUs in the coming months. The series, which could have both high-end boards like the RTX 5080 Super and low-end boards like the RTX 5060 Super, is said to bring mainly VRAM upgrades over the non-Super RTX 50 GPUs.

Specs of Nvidia's upcoming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Super have leaked online. It will feature the same GPU as the regular RTX 5070 Ti but come with way more video memory.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 is scheduled to launch in Europe in July. Nvidia has now confirmed the euro price of the cheapest Blackwell desktop graphics card, and as the US price already suggested, the graphics card is too expensive in terms of features, so customers with a smaller budget should look for alternatives.

As our review of the MSI Katana 17 HX illustrates, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle no longer crashes too quickly due to insufficient video memory, but performance is still severely compromised.

Desktop users may be envious of a new deal on the HP Omen Max 16 gaming laptop. The notebook ships with the efficient Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 Strix Point processor. An RTX 5080 graphics card allows the laptop to offer incredibly high framerates at 2560x1600.

The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 desktop is now official. It packs 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM on a 128-bit bus and has a default TGP of 130 Watts.

The Nvidia RTX 5050 laptop GPU has now gone official, as specs and expected performance of the mobile GPU have been confirmed. The key upgrades in the RTX 5050 laptop GPU is more and faster VRAM than the RTX 4050, as well as a wider bus.

The upgraded Alienware Aurora prebuilt gaming PC models are finally experiencing discounts. In the current deal, the system ships with an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor and 32 GB of DDR5 memory. Although it has some upgrade limitations, an RTX 5070 Ti graphics card makes it a tempting purchase.

Apart from the processor, RAM and dGPU that already offer great value for the discounted price, the laptop also comes with a sub-par 144 Hz 16-inch IPS display that is relatively dim with lower color gamut. Additionally, while there is no USB4 connector, port selection is decent and the 83 Wh battery is big enough.

Nvidia has yet another RTX 5090 variant lined up for the Chinese market. The RTX 5090DD will use a slightly different GB 202 GPU and cut down on VRAM.

We've now reviewed both the ROG Zephyrus G16 and the smaller G14 with the new GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU. Despite a slightly higher TGP, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285H lags behind the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 in gaming performance.

The RTX 5050 laptop variant has shown up on Geekbench. Specs-wise, it isn't different from the RTX 4050 laptop, with the notable exception of more VRAM.

Once again, the top-of-the-line Nvidia GPU option isn't necessarily always faster than the next option down depending on the implementation or thickness of the laptops in question.

The Ultima 18 tackles the difficult task of downsizing a high-end desktop. With a Core Ultra 9 CPU and available Nvidia RTX 5090 graphics card, the gaming laptop is performance-focused. Shipping with a large 4K display, the 8.8 lb. Ultima is one of the heavier 18-inch models.

A new, entry-level Asus ROG Strix G16 version has shown up online. It features Nvidia's unreleased RTX 5050 GPU, an Intel Raptor Lake CPU and 32 GB of GDDR5 RAM.

Dell likes to advertise its high 175 W TGP graphics for the Alienware 16 Area-51 laptop, but you'll have to manually set the system to Overdrive mode if you want to run the GPU at its full potential.

If you want the fastest 14-inch gamer right now, there is no way around the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. While rivals including the Razer Blade 14 only offer the RTX 5070 Laptop, Asus also offers the two significantly faster GPU options RTX 5070 Ti Laptop as well as RTX 5080 Laptop.

A new leak suggests Nvidia plans to unveil the entry-level RTX 5050 desktop GPU in July 2025. It will launch with GDDR7 VRAM instead of GDDR6 speculated earlier.

MSI has unveiled two tiny GeForce RTX 5060 graphics cards: the Cyclone and Inspire. Despite their single-fan design, both models promise relatively high boost clocks, making them ideal for ultra-small form factor gaming rigs and creator PCs.

Yet again another laptop with an RTX 5090, namely Gigabyte's Aorus Master 16. This brings the total of reviewed gaming laptops with the 5090 to over 10. Which is the most powerful of them all and where does the Master 16 rank?

A Taiwanese media outlet reports that Nvidia and MediaTek will work together to launch a gaming APU. It is said to have a TDP of 65 Watts and will use a Blackwell-based GPU.

The Asus ProArt GeForce RTX 5080 offers two features that are rather common for modern graphics cards. It sports a versatile USB-C port and an M.2 slot for storage expansion. The design includes real wood and sets the ProArt apart from other desktop GPUs.

If you want the fastest gaming laptop, there is no way around the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX3D. Thanks to the additional 3D V-cache, Intel's current HX-series CPUs are clearly beaten in some games.

Nvidia's native Steam Deck app boasts great performance and low input lag for any tier on GeForce Now. We take a deep dive in a review of the app in addition to an installation guide; from Balatro to Monster Hunter to all the way to free-to-play like games such as Genshin Impact and Marvel Rivals.
