AI-powered image generation has progressed at a remarkable pace—from early examples of models creating images of humans with too many fingers to now producing strikingly photorealistic visuals. Even with such leaps, one challenge remains: achieving creative control. Creating scenes using text has gotten easier, no longer requiring complex descriptions—and models have improved alignment to prompts. But describing finer details like composition, camera angles and object placement with text alone is hard, and making adjustments is even more complex.

Advanced workflows using ControlNets—tools that enhance image generation by providing greater control over the output—offer solutions, but their setup complexity limits broader accessibility. To help overcome these challenges and fast-track access to advanced AI capabilities, NVIDIA at the CES trade show earlier this year announced the NVIDIA AI Blueprint for 3D-guided generative AI for RTX PCs. This sample workflow includes everything needed to start generating images with full composition control. Users can download the new Blueprint today.

Yeston teased GeForce RTX 50-series Sakura Atlantis and Game Ace card designs back in January, but it has taken a while—for this Chinese manufacturer—to actually get finalized retail stock out there. A slightly underwhelming stopgap arrived in the form of the brand's Deluxe series; launched earlier this month. In fact, these uncharacteristically standard black options are just barely rebadged Gainward Phoenix products. Yeston's brighter truly in-house designs have gained plenty of media attention over the past three months, albeit mainly from their custom AMD graphics card portfolio. As spotted by VideoCardz, Yeston's social media accounts have announced the retail launch of: "(our) GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Sakura Atlantis OC is now online! She is finally here! You can search and buy it in the official flagship stores of major platforms! Come and see if this is your dream love."

The freshly released NVIDIA "Blackwell" GB203 GPU-based model seems to sport a familiar enclosure, but Yeston has updated this variant with the usual GeForce tags. A different "waifu" (or "icon") illustration adorns the card's backplate (with different cutouts); thus making this SKU somewhat visually distinct from Radeon RX 9070 series equivalents. Industry observers believe that the new generation Sakura Atlantis triple-fan cooling solution is robust enough to temper larger GPU dies; Yeston could be working on a GeForce RTX 5080 variant. The company has not made much noise about Team Green-powered Sakura (non-Atlantis) and Game Ace product lines, since issuing their mid-January teaser. In the meantime, Chinese buyers will get to experience the sights and smells of a very special option. Yeston's Weibo account previewed this experience: "something exciting is coming your way. Yes, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Sakura Atlantis is here! Ocean flavor (scent), new back panel design, and a chameleon spray paint process. Keep following for more information!" VideoCardz reckons that there is a likelihood of this particular SKU turning up for sale in the States; but it could take a while before stock arrives at warehouses (e.g. Newegg).

GIGABYTE acknowledges customer feedback regarding thermal conductive gel application on our GeForce RTX 50 Series and Radeon RX 9000 Series graphics cards. This gel is engineered to ensure optimal contact across uneven component surfaces, and is applied via a fully automated process to minimize human variance compared with traditional thermal pads. We take your concerns seriously and want to provide clear information. Regarding the topic, we wish to clarify the following points:

Comprehensive Testing & Validation
The thermal conductivity gel solution on the GIGABYTE graphics cards has undergone rigorous testing to verify the performance and stability, including but not limited to:

• Multi-axis drops and vibration testing (Covering four corners and six sides)
• Long‐duration heavy‐load operational simulations, meanwhile, the exposure to extreme ambient temperatures
• Verification in both vertical and horizontal installation orientations

Igor's Lab has run independent testing and thermal analysis of NVIDIA's latest GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, including the add-in card partner design RTX 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5060 Ti, which are now attracting attention for surprising thermal "hotspots" on the back of their PCBs. These hotspots are just the areas on PCB that get hot under load, and not the "Hot Spot" sensor NVIDIA removed with RTX 50 series. Infrared tests have shown temperatures climbing above 100°C in the power delivery region, even though the GPU die stays below 80°C. This isn't a problem with the silicon but with concentrated heating in clusters of thin copper planes and via arrays. Card makers like Palit, PNY, and MSI have all seen the same issue since they closely follow NVIDIA's reference PCB layout and use similar cooler mounting. A big part of the trouble comes down to how PCB designers and cooler engineers work separately.

NVIDIA's Thermal Design Guide gives AIC partners detailed power-loss budgets, listing worst-case dissipation for the GPU, memory, NVVDD and FBVDDQ rails, inductors, MOSFETs, and other components, and it recommends ideal thermal interface materials and mounting pressures. The guide assumes that even heat is spreading and that there is perfect airflow in a wind tunnel, but actual consumer PCs don't match those conditions. Multi-layer PCBs force high currents through 35 to 70 µm copper layers, which join at tight via clusters under the VRMs. Without dedicated thermal bridges or reinforced vias, these areas become bottlenecks where heat builds up, and the standard backplate plus heat-pipe layout can't pull it away fast enough.

Today, NVIDIA confirmed that its Deep Learning Super Sampling technology (DLSS) boasts native support in 769 games and applications, reinforcing its lead over competing upscaling suites from AMD and Intel. With the addition of six newly announced titles, including the open‑world survival MMO RuneScape: Dragonwilds, DLSS's ecosystem continues to expand rapidly. Since its debut alongside the RTX 20 series in 2018, DLSS has evolved from a single AI‑powered upscaling method into a comprehensive toolkit. The current DLSS 4 iteration introduces Multi‑Frame Generation (MFG) and DLSS Transformers, delivering sharper images and smoother frame rates than earlier convolutional neural network modes. On supported RTX 40‑ and 50‑series GPUs, gamers can now take advantage of frame generation, denoising enhancements via ray reconstruction, and AI‑driven anti‑aliasing.

Of the six titles highlighted in NVIDIA's latest blog post, Steel Seed from Storm in a Teacup is the first to ship with DLSS 4's MFG. RuneScape: Dragonwilds, The Talos Principle: Reawakened, and Tempest Rising have added DLSS 3's frame‑generation and Super Resolution features, while indie releases Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Commandos: Origins deploy DLSS 2's Super Resolution alone. These incremental rollouts demonstrate how studios of all sizes are integrating NVIDIA's upscaling techniques at varying depths. By contrast, AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) and Intel's Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) toolkits support 356 and 161 titles, respectively. While AMD's FSR 4.0 can override older versions, its adoption remains focused on basic upscaling without frame generation, and XeSS continues to trail in overall scope. NVIDIA's manual override in its GeForce Experience app further widens the gap, allowing engineers to retrofit MFG into titles whose developers have yet to implement it natively.

Today, NVIDIA made its tech demo Zorah, A New Era of Rendering, available as a free 108 GB download. Built for Unreal Engine 5, Zorah shows off the sheer power of the new Blackwell architecture, led by the GeForce RTX 5090 and its neural rendering capabilities. After debuting the first version at CES 2025 and refining it at GDC, the company has now opened the doors for anyone with a fast connection and enough storage to explore it firsthand. Downloading the project takes about 15 minutes on a Gigabit link, after which you can fire up Unreal Engine 5 (available from the Epic Games Store) and dive straight into the demo. Once it's running, you'll find yourself in a scene built from nearly 500 million triangles, more than 30,000 materials, over 2,000 particle lights, and 1,500 textures. All of that horsepower would grind any GPU to a halt without NVIDIA's suite of neural tricks.

At the core of Zorah's performance are features like DLSS 4 with frame generation, a Transformer‑based AI model, and the full set of RTX Neural Shaders. These small neural networks run right inside the shaders, creating textures, materials, lighting volumes, and even hair detail in real time. Supporting tools such as RTX Texture Filter, Neural Material networks, Neural Texture Compression, Character Rendering, Neural Faces, Neural Hair, and Mega Geometry help round out the package, delivering visuals that look every bit as rich as big‑budget CGI. That level of efficiency shows how neural rendering can boost image quality and interactivity without hogging resources. NVIDIA hopes developers will experiment with these new tools and push game graphics into what the company calls a new era. If you have a modern RTX 5090 rig and a bit of patience, you can see that future for yourself. Click here to start the 108 GB download.

High-performance GPUs manufactured in Taiwan could now enter the US market tariff-free through a technical loophole in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), found by a research firm SemiAnalysis. Companies can route Taiwan-made GPUs through assembly facilities in Mexico and Canada, effectively circumventing the 32% import duty that would otherwise apply to direct shipments from Taiwan. The exemption hinges on a Most-Favored-Nation clause within the USMCA framework that specifically classifies digital processing units (HTS 8471.50), automatic data processing machine units (HTS 8471.80), and their associated components (HTS 8473.30) as "originating goods." This classification applies regardless of manufacturing origin, creating a duty-free pathway for NVIDIA HGX boards, GB200 baseboards, and RTX GPU cards that undergo final assembly in North American facilities.

The strategy capitalizes on two complementary policy mechanisms. First, President Trump's March 7 executive orders maintained existing USMCA exemptions, preserving the duty-free status for compliant goods from Canada and Mexico. Second, the USMCA's expanded definition of originating products creates a classification framework that treats assembled servers and related components as North American products despite their core manufacturing in Taiwan. For US technology firms, the additional logistical complexity of cross-border assembly operations is offset by eliminating substantial import duties on these high-value components. This practice mirrors established protocols in agricultural imports, where products like Mexican avocados gain preferential treatment under similar origin rules. The global supply chain is adapting quickly, especially in high-margin areas like GPUs, which power AI workloads. We are yet to see how companies set up manufacturing and logistics in the new era of tariff-driven narrative.

NVIDIA has confirmed that its Verified Priority Access (VPA) program for the GeForce RTX 50 Series remains active following its initial announcement two months ago. The program allows a limited number of US-based GeForce account holders to purchase RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 Founders Edition cards directly from the NVIDIA Marketplace. The VPA scheme was introduced three weeks after the RTX 50 Series launch to address supply shortages and high reseller prices. Initially, two months ago, users with NVIDIA Accounts created on or before January 30, 2025, at 6 AM Pacific Time, could register their interest through an online form. Invitations would have been emailed to qualifying account holders, with the first notifications scheduled for next week.

This pilot program applies only to US GeForce users and is limited to the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and RTX 5070 Founders Edition cards. The recently released RTX 5070 Ti is not included and must be purchased through AIB partner custom designs. NVIDIA has not disclosed how many priority access slots are available or whether the program will expand internationally. All we know is that an NVIDIA representative on Reddit posted, "VPA for the GeForce RTX 50 series Founders Edition graphics cards has not ended," responding to an alleged VPA program rumor that it has ended. If the US pilot is successful, the company may consider adding more markets and product lines. Eligible users should watch their inboxes for an invitation to buy at the original MSRP.

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.

More than 700 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.

According to ComputerBase, NVIDIA now requires laptop makers to clearly share full graphics power details for its upcoming GeForce RTX 50 Series "Blackwell" GPUs. This aims to fix long-standing issues with hidden performance limits that have led to unexpected differences between laptops with the same GPU model. In the past, many laptop makers did not provide complete information about total graphics power (TGP). This often meant that some lower-powered models performed better than higher-end ones because the power limits were unclear. Under the new guidelines, manufacturers must list important details such as base TGP, Dynamic Boost limits, and clock speeds on their product pages. NVIDIA said, "We work with laptop manufacturers to ensure they list graphics power on their product websites."

Companies like ASUS, MSI, and XMG have already started to show full specifications for models such as the ROG Scar 18 and Titan 18 HX. While most companies are following the rules, some remain unchanged. For example, Razer's Blade 16 (2025) initially left out the base TGP from its main specifications, hiding it in the product description. This can confuse buyers, as thinner laptop designs might use lower-powered GPUs even in high-end models. The fix for this issue is simple, and listing TGP and TDP values will ensure that gamers who plan on getting a laptop with a new RTX 50 series Blackwell GPU will choose their desired TDP for performance and power on the go aspects.
