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

wired.com Luke Larsen 2025-08-04 20:55:37

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 We've been collecting the best Prime Day deals all week (and liveblogging the whole event) There's a lot of outdated, previous-gen laptops flooding the virtual Amazon store shelves, most of which are not discounted enough to be worth buying with the new RTX 50-series graphics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

Gaming laptops come in various shapes and sizes, though many of the heavy hitters remain thick and beefy machines that maximize cooling to get the most out of their powerful chips.

Asus pushes 2,600W into RTX 5090 to prove new cableless GPU power connector works

techspot.com Daniel Sims 2025-08-29 06:19:00

Forward-looking: As cases of burning and melting RTX 5090 power cables continue to mount, Asus has demonstrated that its new Back to the Future (BTF) power connector design can maintain safe temperatures while delivering more than triple the GPU's stock wattage limit. The test also revealed that BTF can work in tandem with traditional 16-pin connectors – just in case anyone ever wants to attempt a 2,600W overclock.

Something to look forward to: Nvidia has officially announced the RTX 5050 mobile GPU for entry-level gaming laptops. The company has also reportedly informed its AIC partners that the desktop version of the card will launch on July 1 , earlier than the end-of-month debut that was initially expected. The RTX 5050 mobile is based on the GB207 GPU and features 2,560 CUDA cores – the same number of shaders as the desktop model. It comes with 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM, a 128-bit memory interface, and 384 G

NVIDIA's add-in board partners won't start selling the GeForce RTX 5050 until mid-July, but it looks like the company has given the early go-ahead to OEMs to start announcing laptops with the new entry-level GPU. Wccftech and Videocardz report that 5050-equipped laptops are available to order in China as of this morning from domestic manufacturers like Mechrevo. Over in the US, companies like MSI and Acer have begun announcing their own RTX 5050 laptops. The former, for instance, will sell the

Borderlands 4 recommended specs call for an RTX 3080 and 32GB RAM

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-09-11 01:22:00

A hot potato: Now that people are no longer angry over Borderlands 4 possibly costing $80 (it's actually $70 for the standard edition), something else is causing plenty of outrage: the game's PC requirements. Asking for an RTX 3080 as the recommended GPU does seem excessive, and even the minimum specs are higher than expected. Borderlands 4's system requirements on its Steam page are certainly higher than one would expect. Even the bare minimum requirements, where we usually see ancient and/or

Repair technician finds three of four RTX 4090s were fakes packing RTX 3000-series GPUs

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2025-09-13 21:46:00

Why it matters: The surprisingly common practice of replacing a high-end graphics card's GPU with a different one from a cheaper card, borking it in the process, isn't going away. A Chinese repair technician uploaded a video to YouTube showing that of the four faulty RTX 4090 cards he recently received, three of them packed RTX 3090 or RTX 3080 dies. The YouTuber explains in the video that the customer in this case paid 10,000 yuan ($1,392) for each graphics card, which were purchased from an o

The Real Nvidia GPU Lineup: GeForce RTX 5060 is Actually a Mediocre 5050

techspot.com Tim Schiesser 2025-09-17 04:12:00

Nvidia's latest generation of graphics cards might look familiar on the surface, but dig into the specs and a different story emerges. Earlier this year, we were discussing how the GeForce RTX 5080 is actually closer to an RTX 5070 based on its hardware configuration. Since then, Nvidia has released more graphics cards, and the shrinkflation problem continues. The underwhelming RTX 5060 is effectively an RTX 5050, we're going to show you the data to back that up – and even then, it is arguably

Nvidia confirms ‘rare’ RTX 5090 and 5070 Ti manufacturing issue

theverge.com Sean Hollister 2025-06-03 14:00:36

It’s true : Nvidia has just confirmed it shipped some RTX 5090, RTX 5090D, and even some RTX 5070 Ti graphics chips that were missing render units, as TechPowerUp originally reported — and that you’ll be able to get a replacement if your card was affected. We have identified a rare issue affecting less than 0.5% (half a percent) of GeForce RTX 5090 / 5090D and 5070 Ti GPUs which have one fewer ROP than specified. The average graphical performance impact is 4%, with no impact on AI and Compute w

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

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-06-03 09:57:45

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,

Nvidia’s Big Plan to Beat Back RTX 5090 Scalpers Is the Same as Everybody Else’s

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-06-03 09:43:13

The markup on Nvidia’s $2,000 GeForce RTX 5090 and $1,000 RTX 5080 GPUs has reached new heights. Cards fly off store shelves as soon as they’re posted online, and then they end up on eBay and other reselling platforms at a 50% or 150% markup. Nvidia’s new plan to help you get an FE card for the base price involves entering your name in a raffle and hoping your name gets drawn out of a hat. Nvidia’s process is very simple.
