It is barely a surprise that the desktop RTX 50X0-series cards will be accompanied by laptop variants soon after their launch. And as such, multiple listings of upcoming gaming laptops have appeared on the internet. The information is rather intriguing, to say the least. The leaked listings indicate that both AMD and Intel will have products ready to join forces with Blackwell, with Intel's Arrow Lake-HX and, rather shockingly, Ryzen 7000HX-series from Team Red - much to the chagrin of those expecting Ryzen 9000HX to drop sooner. The listings also reveal some other specifications, such as the display, but there is nothing notable there - it's the typical spread of mini LED and OLED panels.

Among the leaked laptops, we have the ROG Strix Scar 18, which will pack up to a Core Ultra 9 285HX "Arrow Lake-HX" CPU, along with either an RTX 5080, or an RTX 5090 GPU. Disappointingly, it appears that the RTX 5090 will be limited to only 16 GB of VRAM, which is half that of its desktop counterpart. The RTX 5080 will also be available with 16 GB of VRAM, which certainly makes us sigh in relief. A lower-tier laptop, namely the Strix 16, has also been leaked, packing either an RTX 5070 Ti, or an RTX 5060 GPU with 12 GB and 8 GB of VRAM respectively. The laptops further down will also have the entry-level RTX 5050, with 8 GB of VRAM as well. Of course, all of this is on the new GDDR7 spec. The full-resolution image of the leaked listings can be found here.

Acer has jumped the gun and listed its ACER Predator Orion 7000 systems with the upcoming NVIDIA RTX 50 series graphics cards, namely the GeForce RTX 5080 and the GeForce RTX 5090. In addition, the listing confirms that the GeForce RTX 5080 will come with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, while the GeForce RTX 5090 will get 32 GB of GDDR7 memory.

The ACER Predator Orion 7000 gaming PC was announced back in September, together with Intel's Core Ultra 200 series, and it does not come as a surprise that this high-end pre-built system will now be getting NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards. In case you missed previous rumors, the GeForce RTX 5080 is expected to use the GB203-400 GPU with 10,752 CUDA cores, and come with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit memory interface. The GeForce RTX 5090, on the other hand, gets the GB202-300 GPU with 21,760 CUDA cores and packs 32 GB of GDDR7 memory.

NVIDIA's RTX 5000 series GPU hardware has been leaked repeatedly in the weeks and months leading up to CES 2025, with previous leaks tipping significant updates for the RTX 5070 Ti in the VRAM department. Now, Inno3D is apparently hinting that the RTX 5000 series will also introduce updated machine learning and AI tools to NVIDIA's GPU line-up. An official CES 2025 teaser published by Inno3D, titled "Inno3D At CES 2025, See You In Las Vegas!" makes mention of potential updates to NVIDIA's AI acceleration suite for both gaming and productivity.

The Inno3D teaser specifically points out "Advanced DLSS Technology," "Enhanced Ray Tracing" with new RT cores, "better integration of AI in gaming and content creation," "AI-Enhanced Power Efficiency," AI-powered upscaling tech for content creators, and optimizations for generative AI tasks. All of this sounds like it builds off of previous NVIDIA technology, like RTX Video Super Resolution, although the mention of content creation suggests that it will be more capable than previous efforts, which were seemingly mostly consumer-focussed. Of course, improved RT cores in the new RTX 5000 GPUs is also expected, although it will seemingly be the first time NVIDIA will use AI to enhance power draw, suggesting that the CES announcement will come with new features for the NVIDIA App. The real standout feature, though, are called "Neural Rendering" and "Advanced DLSS," both of which are new nomenclatures. Of course, Advanced DLSS may simply be Inno3D marketing copy, but Neural Rendering suggests that NVIDIA will "Revolutionize how graphics are processed and displayed," which is about as vague as one could be.

NVIDIA is preparing to unveil its "Blackwell" GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card, featuring cutting-edge GDDR7 memory technology. However, RTX 5080 is expected to be equipped with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory running at an impressive 30 Gbps. Combined with a 256-bit memory bus, this configuration will deliver approximately 960 GB/s bandwidth—a 34% improvement over its predecessor, the RTX 4080, which operates at 716.8 GB/s. While the RTX 5080 will stand as the sole card in the lineup featuring 30 Gbps memory modules, while other models in the RTX 50 series will incorporate slightly slower 28 Gbps variants. This strategic differentiation is possibly due to the massive CUDA cores gap between the rumored RTX 5080 and RTX 5090.

The flagship RTX 5090 is set to push boundaries even further, implementing a wider 512-bit memory bus that could potentially achieve bandwidth exceeding 1.7 TB/s. NVIDIA appears to be reserving larger memory configurations of 16 GB+ exclusively for this top-tier model, at least until higher-capacity GDDR7 modules become available in the market. Despite these impressive specifications, the RTX 5080's bandwidth still falls approximately 5% short of the current RTX 4090, which benefits from a physically wider bus configuration. This performance gap between the 5080 and the anticipated 5090 suggests NVIDIA is maintaining a clear hierarchy within its product stack, and we have to wait for the final launch to conclude what, how, and why of the Blackwell gaming GPUs.

CD Projekt RED pulled out a rabbit out of its hat, revealing the first trailer for the upcoming The Witcher IV title. The new trailer is pre-rendered in a custom build of Unreal Engine 5, which CD Projekt RED is now using instead of its own in-house engine, as announced earlier. More interestingly, it is pre-rendered on an "unannounced NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPU." CD Projekt RED teamed up with Platige Image, who were responsible for intro cinematics in the previous Witcher games.

The trailer, which is almost six minutes long, follows Ciri, which confirms earlier rumors that the game might focus on Ciri as the main character. As detailed by CD Projekt RED, the trailer shows Ciri's new abilities and tools, as well as a small part of the story, a witcher contract set in a remote village. CD Projekt RED is promising that The Witcher IV will be "the most immersive and ambitious open-world Witcher game to date."

Forza Motorsport, Xbox Studios's cinematic 2023 live-service racing sim, is getting a nice visual upgrade in an upcoming update (titled Update 15) shortly after the first anniversary of its release. On December 9, Forza Motorsport will get Ray-Traced Global Illumination (RTGI), making the racing game and all its shiny cars look more realistic. RTGI will be available for all PC versions of Forza Motorsport as of December 9—as long as the game is up-to-date that is—although it will need to be manually enabled in the game's graphics settings. After being enabled, RTGI will apply to both gameplay rendering and in-game cinematics, as well as the built-in photo mode.

While Forza Motorsport's minimum recommended GPU specification is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060, you will need at least an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20-series or AMD RX 6000-series graphics card to take advantage of RTGI, with the game's developer, Turn 10, recommending an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 or better for high graphics and RTGI settings. For the uninitiated, RTGI helps increase realism by simulating how light interacts with surfaces and materials, more accurately rendering indirect lighting and shadows in-game. In NVIDIA's blog post announcing the updated visuals for Forza Motorsport, it recommends using the RTGI in conjunction with DLSS Super Resolution or DLAA to get the highest frame rates. Forza Motorsport is available for PC on Steam (currently 50% off), the Microsoft Store, and PC Game Pass

Steam's monthly hardware and software surveys provide a decent picture of what hardware and software gamers rely on to play their favorite games—at least those on Valve's game platform. Since the launch of Windows 11, it has been a somewhat reliable way to track the adoption of the new Windows version, and, as the official cut-off for Windows 10 support draws near, one would expect Windows 11 to pick up steam, especially among gamers, where Windows is the dominant OS. The results of the November Steam Survey are in, and while not much has changed on the hardware front, it seems like Microsoft is indeed wearing gamers down when it comes to Windows 11 adoption. Despite seeing a decent uptick in Windows 11 installations, the overall Windows market share dropped, even if almost imperceptibly, while Linux and macOS both saw a slight uptick in adoption among Steam gamers. As expected, Windows remained the dominant platform for gamers, but Windows 11, specifically, saw growth of 4.18%, while Windows 10 lost 4.15%, which is almost an exact 1:1 match, indicating that gamers are largely staying on Windows when they finally decide to move on from Windows 10. Overall, Windows lost 0.05% market share, compared to Linux, which gained 0.03% and macOS, which grew by 0.02%.

Valve's SteamOS Holo was the most popular Linux version in the survey, but it, too, slid by 0.28%. Of course, the hardware split for Linux is representative of the software side of things, which is to say: It's mostly just Steam Decks. As expected, most of the video cards and CPUs in the Linux results were AMD GPUs, with well over 36% of the sampled Linux gamers using AMD GPUs, even disregarding the obvious bias introduced by the AMD-powered Steam Deck hardware. The most popular NVIDIA GPU on Linux systems running Steam is currently the GeForce RTX 3060, at a mere 1.46% of the market share. Meanwhile, on Windows side, 5.03% of gamers are using the GTX 3060, with the next most popular GPU being the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, at 4.92%.

A recently discarded NVIDIA graphics card prototype has emerged from an unexpected source—a dumpster. Reported by VideoCardz citing an anonymous tipster from Reddit, the new GPU is identified as an experimental RTX 4090 variant, and has very unique design features and engineering choices. The recovered prototype shares core specifications with the retail RTX 4090 Founders Edition, featuring identical PG147 SKU 330 board architecture and power specifications of 450 W typical draw with a 600 W peak capacity. However, technicalities reveal some differences, particularly in its BIOS version (95.02.01.22.01) and operating frequencies, with a 2115 MHz base clock and 2355 MHz boost clock running approximately 5% lower than the regular Founders Editions model.

Most intriguingly, the prototype implements an interesting triple-fan cooling solution, distinguished by a concealed middle fan integrated within the heatsink structure. This design element aligns with previous industry speculation about NVIDIA's development of an 900 W-capable Founders Edition card. However, the discovered unit maintains standard RTX 4090 branding without any "Ti" or "TITAN" designations, which we previously associated the massive heatsink with. Further analysis suggests the prototype's distinctive three-section PCB layout was likely developed to accommodate additional processing cores and memory components, pointing to NVIDIA's exploration of more powerful variants that ultimately never reached production.

More than 600 games and applications feature RTX technologies, and each week new games integrating NVIDIA DLSS, NVIDIA Reflex and advanced ray-traced effects are released or announced, delivering the definitive PC experience for GeForce RTX players.

As we entered November, Valve just finished processing data for October in its monthly update of Steam Hardware and Software Survey, showcasing trend changes in the largest gaming community. And according to October data, AMD's discrete GPUs are not exactly in the best place. In the top 20 most commonly used GPUs, not a single discrete SKU was based on AMD. All of them included NVIDIA as their primary GPU choice. However, there is some change to AMD's entries, as the Radeon RX 580, which used to be the most popular AMD GPU, just got bested by the Radeon RX 6600 as the most common choice for AMD gamers. The AMD Radeon RX 6600 now holds 0.98% of the GPU market.

NVIDIA's situation paints a different picture, as the top 20 spots are all occupied by NVIDIA-powered gamers. The GeForce RTX 3060 remains the most popular GPU at 7.46% of the GPU market, but the number two spot is now held by the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU at 5.61%. This is an interesting change since this NVIDIA GPU was in third place, right behind the regular GeForce RTX 4060 for desktops. However, laptop gamers are in abundance, and they are showing their strength, placing the desktop GeForce RTX 4060 in third place, recording 5.25% usage.

Minisforum stands as a reputed brand in the ever-advancing segment of mini PCs. The brand's recently unveiled 790S7 joins its commendable lineup of high-performance SFF PCs with specifications that are impressive to say the least. At 7 liters, the 790S7 is not exactly 'tiny', but is substantially more compact than traditional tower PCs.

The system is powered by a 16-core Ryzen 9 7940HX 'Dragon Range' CPU at its heart, paired with up to 64 B of DDR5-5200 RAM and 4 terabytes of flash storage along with the titular RTX 4060 discrete GPU. Unlike most of the other compact PCs from the brand, the RTX 4060 GPU in the 790S7 is of the full-fledged desktop variant and not the slower 'Laptop' kind.

We officially have the first look at NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 "Blackwell" add-in board from what appears to be ZOTAC manufacturing facility. The leaked video shows a newly opened factory in Indonesia, which is recently opened-up to circumvent US export regulations. Published on Chiphell platform, the factory video shows NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 AIB design powering up, followed by cheering of factory workers. This signals that the alleged NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 series scheduled for CES is near indeed, and AIB designs are also going to be available around that timeframe.

To confirm that the video is indeed showing GeForce RTX 5090, the video description, translated from Chinese, is as follows: "Due to the US's chip export control on China, graphics card chips with performance equal to or higher than 4090 are prohibited from being exported to mainland China. In order to avoid the impact of this move on the launch of RTX 5090, Bo Neng urgently built a factory in Batam, Indonesia. The video shows the debugging of the factory production line. The graphics card that lights up the monitor in the video is the NVIDIA RTX 5090 graphics card that will be launched soon." Although the video is quite blurry, we have to wait for the official launch or more leaks to see the GPU in its full glory.

Thanks to the renowned NVIDIA hardware leaker kopite7Kimi on X, we are getting information about the final versions of NVIDIA's first upcoming wave of GeForce RTX 50 series "Blackwell" graphics cards. The two leaked GPUs are the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080, which now feature a more significant gap between xx80 and xx90 SKUs. For starters, we have the highest-end GeForce RTX 5090. NVIDIA has decided to use the GB202-300-A1 die and enabled 21,760 FP32 CUDA cores on this top-end model. Accompanying the massive 170 SM GPU configuration, the RTX 5090 has 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, with each GDDR7 die running at 28 Gbps. This translates to 1,568 GB/s memory bandwidth. All of this is confined to a 600 W TGP.

When it comes to the GeForce RTX 5080, NVIDIA has decided to further separate its xx80 and xx90 SKUs. The RTX 5080 has 10,752 FP32 CUDA cores paired with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus. With GDDR7 running at 28 Gbps, the memory bandwidth is also halved at 784 GB/s. This SKU uses a GB203-400-A1 die, which is designed to run within a 400 W TGP power envelope. For reference, the RTX 4090 has 68% more CUDA cores than the RTX 4080. The rumored RTX 5090 has around 102% more CUDA cores than the rumored RTX 5080, which means that NVIDIA is separating its top SKUs even more. We are curious to see at what price point NVIDIA places its upcoming GPUs so that we can compare generational updates and the difference between xx80 and xx90 models and their widened gaps.

NVIDIA is on the brink of finalizing its next-generation "Blackwell" graphics cards, the GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080. Sources close to BenchLife indicate that NVIDIA is targeting September for the official design specification finalization of both models. This timeline hints at a possible unveiling at CES 2025, with a market release shortly after. The RTX 5090 is rumored to boast a staggering 550 W TGP, a significant 22% increase from its predecessor, the RTX 4090. Meanwhile, the RTX 5080 is expected to draw 350 W, a more modest 9.3% bump from the current RTX 4080. Interestingly, NVIDIA appears to be developing "D" variants for both cards, which are likely tailored for the Chinese market to comply with export regulations.

Regarding raw power, the RTX 5090 is speculated to feature 24,576 CUDA cores paired with 512-bit GDDR7 memory. The RTX 5080, while less mighty, is still expected to pack a punch with 10,752 CUDA cores and 256-bit GDDR7 memory. As NVIDIA prepares to launch these powerhouses, rumors suggest the RTX 4090D may be discontinued by December 2024, paving the way for its successor. We are curious to see how the power consumption is handled and if these cards are packed efficiently within the higher power envelope. Some rumors indicate that the RTX 5090 could reach 600 watts at its peak, while RTX 5080 reaches 400 watts. However, that is just a rumor for now. As always, until NVIDIA makes an official announcement, these details should be taken with a grain of salt.

In a recent event hosted by Chinese laptop manufacturer Hasee, company's chairman Wu Haijun unveiled exciting details about NVIDIA's upcoming GeForce RTX 5060 "Blackwell" laptop GPU. Attending the event was industry insider Golden Pig Upgrade, who managed to catch some details of the card set to launch next year. The RTX 5060 is expected to be the first in the market to feature GDDR7 memory, a move that aligns with earlier leaks suggesting NVIDIA's entire Blackwell lineup would adopt this new standard. This upgrade is anticipated to deliver substantial boosts in bandwidth and possibly increased VRAM capacities in other SKUs. Perhaps most intriguing is the reported performance of the RTX 5060. Wu said this laptop SKU could offer performance comparable to the current RTX 4070 laptop GPU. It's said to exceed the RTX 4070 in ray tracing scenarios and match or come close to its rasterization performance.

This leap in capabilities is made even more impressive by the chip's reduced power consumption, with a maximum TGP of 115 W compared to the RTX 4060's 140 W. The reported power efficiency gains are not exclusive to RTX 5060. Wu suggests that the entire Blackwell lineup will see significant reductions in power draw, potentially lowering overall system power consumption by 40 to 50 watts in many Blackwell models. While specific technical details remain limited, it's believed the RTX 5060 will utilize the GB206 GPU die paired with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory, likely running at 28 Gbps in its initial iteration.
