According to reports and rumors floating around on the internet, it appears that Nvidia is gearing up to bring back the RTX 3060 gaming GPU. Compared to the RTX 5060, the RTX 3060 will have to be sold at a rather attractive price to justify its existence.

Nvidia has announced a new lineup of games that will be joining the GeForce NOW library this month. The main highlight is Crimson Desert, which is one of the most anticipated games of the year.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the chipmaker may curb further investments in OpenAI and Anthropic as both companies consider IPOs, signaling a potential shift away from Nvidia’s high-profile role as a key financier of the AI ecosystem.

Nvidia released the 595.71 Game Ready Drivers to fix issues caused by the previous release of 595.59. While the new driver addresses some of the major issues, it does bring some other new limitations.

Nvidia will soon be launching its GeForce Now service in India, and we had a chance to take an early sneak peek at the service. The technology demo felt very promising and has the potential to be a good hit, but many details about the service are still anybody's guess despite a Q1 2026 launch promise.

Lenovo has released a new 16-inch gaming laptop. Available worldwide, the laptop combines a 240 Hz OLED display with an 84 Wh battery and AMD Ryzen AI 400 processors. Lenovo installs an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU and 32 GB of RAM inside the Legion 7a too, which is noticeably smaller than the existing Legion 7i.

Nvidia's GB10-based DGX Spark mini workstation has witnessed a price hike, surprising absolutely no one. The system ships with a whopping 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory, which makes it extremely susceptible to DRAM price hikes.

A thief has stolen more than $11,000 worth of GPUs from a store in Korea. We saw similar GPU theft unfold during the COVID-era GPU shortage. It is quite easy to see that stolen desktop GPUs will end up in the hands of scalpers who will then charge much more than the official MSRP.

A report from the Wall Street Journal says Nvidia’s consumer-facing N1X chip is expected to debut in 2026. It is expected to be a modified version of the GB10 Grace Blackwell chip found on the DGX Spark.

MSI's RTX 5090 Lightning Z is not for the faint-hearted. With a modified BIOS setting that can allow the card to pull in a mind-bending 2,500 watts, the Lightning Z GPU has already broken several world records, and is currently selling for unfathomable prices on eBay.

Nvidia's DGX Spark platform faces serious competition from the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. Both chips offer on-par performance in FP16 and FP64 calculations. A look at the architecture, software, and price reveals significant differences for interested parties.

Nvidia has announced a special chip reveal at GTC 2026. CEO Jensen Huang spoke of processors that will “surprise the world.” All indications suggest the focus will be on AI hardware rather than new consumer graphics cards. The next Rubin generation, likely paired with HBM4 memory and advanced integration technology, is considered a strong contender for the unveiling.

The XMG Apex 17 is primarily an extremely fast RTX 5060 gaming laptop—but after calibration, its QHD display reveals surprisingly strong qualities for content creators. With full DCI-P3 coverage and very low DeltaE values, the panel achieves excellent color accuracy. This means the powerful 17-inch laptop could be appealing not only for gamers, but also for photo and video editing.

Windows 11 KB5077181 (OS Builds 26100.7840/26200.7840) shipped on Feb. 10, 2026. On a Lenovo LOQ test system, KB5077181 installed Feb. 11 (Build 26200.7840) and was followed by Wi-Fi instability, Bluetooth disconnects, stutter, and slow shutdowns.

High-performance gaming laptops are often loud—but the XMG Apex 17 proves that quiet gaming doesn’t have to mean slow gaming. In our testing, switching from Performance mode to Entertainment mode reduces fan noise by up to 60%, while gaming performance drops by only 10 to 12 percent. Here’s how much speed you really lose—and whether quiet mode is the better choice for everyday gaming.

Nvidia has released Linux driver 580.126.18, a recommended update that fixes a kernel module build issue affecting Linux kernel v6.19. Here’s what changed and who should update.

In our review of the XMG Apex 17, it’s not just the GeForce RTX 5060 delivering strong gaming performance — the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX inside sets a new standard for this class. In our CPU benchmarks, the Apex 17 achieves faster multi-core performance than any other RTX 5060 or RTX 5070 gaming laptop we’ve tested so far.

MSI’s $5,090 RTX 5090 Lightning Z was built for extreme overclocking — and it delivered, breaking a Geekbench 5 world record at over 1,000W and 3.5 GHz under liquid nitrogen. But an aggressive 2,500W XOC BIOS and a sudden thermal imbalance ultimately cracked one GPU core, turning a record attempt into a costly casualty.

The supply crunch affecting the RTX 5070 Ti has resulted in the price of the GPU rising by 25% in the US. The GPU now costs $1,000 on average. The RX 9070 XT, AMD's value-oriented answer to the RTX 5070 Ti, has also suffered a 21% price hike. The GPU now reportedly sits at $700 in North America.

In our review, we noted that the RTX 5060 laptop powered by the Ryzen 9 9955HX can outperform some RTX 5070 competitors. Now we’re taking a closer look at exactly which RTX-5070 laptops the Apex 17 manages to outperform—and where it falls behind.

The Galaxy Book 6, Galaxy Book6 Pro, and Galaxy Book6 Ultra are launching with two different display sizes, optional Nvidia RTX GPU, AMOLED or LTPS display, and state-of-the-art Intel Panther Lake processors. We have all the variants and prices, as well as our first impressions of the notebooks.
