Astronomers Just Found a Record-Breaking Space Explosion That Makes No Sense

If you’ve been following Gizmodo’s astrophysics coverage, you’ve probably noticed a pattern: Scientists study a cosmic phenomenon and start to get a handle on it—then something shows up that completely upends their understanding. The latest example? It’s explosive. Literally. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful explosions in the universe. Generally, GRBs last from milliseconds to several minutes. Scientists believe they emerge when massive stars explode in supernovas or get ripped apa

PNY’s Overclocked RTX 5070 Ti Is Finally Selling at Retail

If you've been hunting for a new GPU, you already know that getting one for its suggested retail price isn't guaranteed. High demand, low supply, and a constantly shifting economic space have caused the new 50 Series graphics cards to hit the market well above the expected price, at least at launch. Thankfully, the situation seems to be stabilizing a bit, as indicated by this deal on PNY's overclocked example of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, which is available on Amazon for its MSRP of $750. Even be

SK hynix confirms 3GB GDDR7 modules, paving way for RTX 50 Super VRAM boost

The big picture: Rumors about Nvidia's RTX 50 Super series graphics cards featuring more VRAM started circulating almost immediately after the standard variants launched with underwhelming memory capacities. Although the chipmaker has yet to comment, a recent announcement from SK hynix suggests that larger VRAM pools are indeed on the horizon. SK hynix has confirmed plans to develop GDDR7 memory modules with a maximum capacity of 24Gb (3GB), an upgrade from the long-standing 16Gb (2GB) standard

One of My Favorite Gaming Laptops Gets a Serious Prime Day Cut

This has not been a good year for Prime Day gaming laptop deals. We've been collecting the best Prime Day deals all week (and liveblogging the whole event) There's a lot of outdated, previous-gen laptops flooding the virtual Amazon store shelves, most of which are not discounted enough to be worth buying with the new RTX 50-series graphics having just come out. There's one diamond in the rough though—and it's a laptop I tested out recently, the Asus ROG Strix G16. It's one of the best gaming la

Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti vanishes in seconds as supply woes continue

Facepalm: After Nvidia's RTX 5090 and 5080 faced immediate shortages, consumers hoped that the company's new mid-range graphics cards would at least stay in stock for more than a millisecond. Unfortunately, the RTX 5070 Ti sold out just as quickly, and reports suggest that the RTX 5070 and 5060 may face similar supply issues. As the RTX 5070 Ti officially "launched" on February 20, screenshots of storefronts revealed just how quickly every model sold out. Screenshots of Newegg's front page, ta

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti review: An RTX 4080 for $749, at least in theory

Nvidia's RTX 50-series makes its first foray below the $1,000 mark starting this week, with the $749 RTX 5070 Ti—at least in theory. The third-fastest card in the Blackwell GPU lineup, the 5070 Ti is still far from "reasonably priced" by historical standards (the 3070 Ti was $599 at launch). But it's also $50 cheaper and a fair bit faster than the outgoing 4070 Ti Super and the older 4070 Ti. These are steps in the right direction, if small ones. We'll talk more about its performance shortly,
