Next week's planned launch of NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5060 Ti series brings two SKUs differentiated by memory capacity and pricing. Both models leverage the GB206‑300 GPU, made on a 5 nm node from TSMC, and feature a 128‑bit memory interface paired with GDDR7 chips running at an effective 28 Gbps. According to IT Home, NVIDIA has communicated MSRP figures to its key AIC partners ahead of the mid‑April rollout. The entry‑level 8 GB variant is set at an MSRP of ¥3,199 (roughly $379), while the 16 GB version carries an MSRP of ¥3,599 (about $429). This is a reduction from the $399 and $499 prices anticipated earlier. NVIDIA is adjusting its pricing strategy for these mid-tier chips to align itself against the competition better and draw more new buyers.

Under the hood, the GB206‑300 core activates 36 streaming multiprocessors, delivering a total of 4,608 CUDA cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2,407 MHz, boosting to 2,572 MHz under load. Memory runs at 1,750 MHz (28 Gbps effective), routed through the 128‑bit bus to yield up to 448 GB/s of bandwidth. Graphics‑specific throughput is augmented by 144 texture mapping units and 48 render output units, while 36 dedicated ray‑tracing cores handle real‑time lighting calculations. Additionally, 144 tensor cores accelerate AI‑driven workloads such as DLSS upscaling and machine‑learning inference. Power delivery for both cards is managed via a single 16‑pin connector, with a total board power of 180 W. Display connectivity includes one HDMI 2.1b port alongside three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs, and the card interfaces with host systems over PCI Express 5.0 x16.

Greetings, Creators! inZOI delivers high-quality graphics and realistic city-level simulations, which require higher system specifications to run smoothly. While the minimum and recommended system requirements are already listed on our Steam page, we wanted to provide a more detailed and comprehensible breakdown of these specifications and how they might impact your gameplay experience. As such, we've categorized the system requirements into four tiers and provided the optimal game settings for each tier.

What are optimal settings?
Optimal settings ensure you experience the game on your current PC in the best possible way. Since inZOI was developed using Unreal Engine 5, adjusting the game's settings can lead to significantly different experiences, even on systems with identical specifications. Let's explore how different factors impact gameplay and which settings you'll need experience inZOI in the best way possible.

We frequently find ourselves stunned with the sheer number of mini PCs and SFF systems that are hitting the market as of late. This segment of the personal computing market is undeniably expanding at an unprecedented rate, clearly indicating a positive growth in interest surrounding compact systems. However, a majority of such SFF and mini PCs lack the advantage of being able to thermally afford discrete graphics, which makes them rely either on passable iGPU performance, or go the eGPU route. Thankfully, the list of eGPUs available on the market also appear to be on the rise, especially systems with OCuLink support, which allows for a comparatively low performance downgrade as compared to USB4.

GMKTec has now announced its latest offering for the segment, dubbed the AD-GP1. This eGPU, unlike many others, comes pre-installed with a Radeon RX 7600M XT GPU, which means that it is not upgradeable or replaceable down the road. The RDNA 3-based 7600M XT is a decently potent GPU, which is commonly found in gaming laptops. However, the GPU is paired with a paltry 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, which is might not be enough for a number of modern demanding titles, considering that AMD GPUs generally need more VRAM than NVIDIA counterparts (different texture compression methods, for the most part). In terms of ports, the AD-GP1 sports dual HDMI 2.1 ports, dual DisplayPort 2.0 ports, USB4, and the aforementioned OCuLink port. Priced at $460 on GMKTec's official website as of this writing, the AD-GP1 is an interesting option for those on the lookout for a mid-range eGPU with OCuLink support.

Intel has released its latest version of the Arc GPU Graphics Drivers, version 101.6557 Beta.
