In the past, when it came to building a new gaming or workstation PC, the only thing that you judged or paid any attention to was the case or chassis. This is still true, but the modern PC case is now also all about celebrating and showcasing what's inside - in other words, the whole build. From coolers to fans to components like graphics cards (GPUs) and memory, PC hardware is no longer simply about function and performance - aesthetics play an integral role.

The new Gamma C72 case from hardware maker Ocypus offers unobstructed panoramic views of internal hardware. Whether that's a custom water-cooled solution or a minimal blend of fans and other components, the wraparound tempered glass panels on the front and side complement the minimal look, which is available in black or white. And with ample routing, clean cable management gives every build that professional look.

The Ocypus Gamma C72 is also all about airflow, with the top and side panels including perforated patterns alongside removable top and bottom dust filters to reduce the need for maintenance. This modern case is perfectly suited for the latest generation of GeForce RTX 50 Series and Radeon RX 9000 Series GPUs, with support for cards up to 425mm long.

NVIDIA's beefed-up B300 AI chip production has been reportedly pulled forward to May, and will be fabbed on TSMC's new 5nm (N4P) process node and will use CoWoS-L advanced semiconductor packaging.

In a new post by Ctee, we're hearing that NVIDIA's new B300 AI chips will use Bianca compute boards with 1 x CPU and 2 x GPUs, with B300 to enter mass production before the end of the year. Analysts estimate that NVIDIA's new B300 AI GPU will boost the related supply chains including TSMC, Machtech, Inventec, Chipset, and assemly plants Quanta, Wistron, and Foxconn.

NVIDIA's new B300 using TSMC's new 5nm family (N4P) process node was used to fill the production capacity gap left wide open by the now-banned H20 AI GPU in China. Ctee reports that the supply chain noted a shipment of AP8 from Nanya Advanced Packaging in early April, in order to follow the CoWoS-L advanced packaging to be used for B300.

Huawei is working on its next-gen Ascend 910D AI GPU, which is said to offer AI performance matching NVIDIA's previous-gen Hopper H100 AI GPU for the Chinese market.

In a new report from Bloomberg, we're learning that Huawei's new Ascend 910D AI chip will have its first batch of samples out in late May, with development "still at an early stage". Huawei hopes that its new Ascend 910D will be more powerful than NVIDIA's previous-gen Hopper H100, which was released in 2022, and has been succeeded by Blackwell B200, and soon B300 and B300 Ultra AI GPUs.

NVIDIA's custom made-for-China H20 AI GPU was recently banned from being sold in China with new US export restrictions, with the company taking a $5.5 billion hit on its Q1 2025 revenue because of it. China can't get its hands on even lower-end AI GPUs, so it is having to rely on homegrown solutions, with Huawei and its new Ascend 910D.

AMD is reportedly set to reveal RDNA 4-powered Radeon RX 9000M series laptop GPUs at Computex 2025 in a couple of weeks time, led by the new flagship Radeon RX 9080M that will reportedly have 64 Compute Units of RDNA 4, with 16GB of GDDR6 memory.

In a new post on X by @All_The_Watts, we're hearing that AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 9000M series "RDNA 4" laptop GPUs will arrive in 6 variants ranging from the flagship Radeon RX 9080M with 16GB of VRAM, down to the Radeon RX 9060S with 8GB of VRAM.

AMD will reportedly launch two cards based on the Navi 48 GPU with the Radeon RX 9080M with 16GB VRAM and the Radeon RX 9070M with 8GB of VRAM, while Navi 44 powers the RX 9070M XT with 12GB, RX 9070S with 8GB, RX 9060M with 8GB, and the RX 9060S with 8GB. The S variants are low-power models, similar to how NVIDIA does it with its Max-Q laptop GPU variants.

SK hynix showed off its next-gen HBM4 memory at TSMC's recent North American Technology Symposium, with up to 16-Hi stacks and 2TB/sec memory bandwidth per stack, ready for NVIDIA's next-gen Vera Rubin AI hardware.

SK hynix showed off both 12-Hi and 16-Hi stacks of HBM4 memory, which feature a capacity of up to 48GB, up to 2TB/sec memory bandwidth, and I/O speeds rated at 8Gbps, with the South Korean memory leader announcing mass production for 2H 2025, and into AI GPUs by the end of this year, flooding the market with HBM4-powered AI GPUs like NVIDIA's next-gen Vera Rubin in 2026.

We will see SK hynix's world-leading HBM4 memory chips inside of NVIDIA's upcoming GB300 "Blackwell Ultra" AI GPUs, with the company planning to shift fully into the arms of HBM4 memory starting with Vera Rubin later this year. SK hynix also pointed out that they've managed the high number of layers through using Advanced MR-MUF and TSV technologies.

Oblivion Remastered didn't ship with a photo mode, but it's still possible to take beautiful HUD-free screenshots on PC.

Like all Bethesda games, Oblivion Remastered can be manipulated with a series of console commands, which are basically strings of text that you type in a special command line that can adjust in-game parameters. With enough knowledge, anyone can force the game to accept some pretty crazy conditions. But we wanted to do one thing first: Take pristine screenshots to show off just how impressive Oblivion Remastered actually is.

While it's not possible to turn off Oblivion Remastered's HUD while in-game, and certain older console commands like tm (toggle menu) don't work, we can brute force the functionality with mods and with new commands. These mods work on Game Pass, and this tutorial is for the PC Game Pass version of the game.

The new Oblivion Remastered re-release has generated tons of buzz and popularity, amassing millions of players in a matter of days.

Predictably enough, the new Oblivion remaster in Unreal Engine 5 is a big hit. While we don't know exact game sales performance, Bethesda did confirm over 4 million people had played Oblivion Remastered across all platforms as of April 25, indicating a 3-day span to accumulate these players.

"We are so grateful to the over 4 million of you that have already ventured into Cyrodiil with Oblivion Remastered. Thank you!" Bethesda said on Twitter.

A colorful and dramatic French indie RPG is making waves in the world of gaming, and it could be one of the best-rated video games of all time.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a thunderous indie success on all platforms. The ultra-stylish turn-based RPG achieved 1 million sales in just 3 days, no doubt as a result of it's high reviews and universal acclaim. As Forbes notes, Expedition 33 might actually have the best user rating score on Metacritic, where it sits at a 9.7 across 2,500+ user reviews (to contrast this, something as big as Tears of the Kingdom has an 8.8 user score with over 13,000 user reviews). It's also rated 4.92 stars on PlayStation with 6.2K ratings, and 4.5 out of 5 stars on Xbox with 1.9K total reviews.

The game's official Twitter account described the situation quite succinctly: "And here we are. Three days after launch. One million copies sold. Thank you for believing in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33."

id Software apparently is not trying to connect the Quake and Doom franchises together, at least with Doom: The Dark Ages.

It's been long-rumored that the modern iterations of id's shooter franchises--Doom and Quake--could be connected. Initial rumors of a new Quake game said it could have a female protagonist, and that Wolfenstein and Indiana Jones developer MachineGames was helping with the project. Speculation hinted at some sort of crossover between Doom and Quake, and the two have been connected by tenuous threads.

That hellish crossover hasn't happened, though, and apparently id Software has no actual intention of bridging the two franchises...at least with the latest game, Doom: The Dark Ages. In a recent episode of the PlayStation Podcast, id Software's Hugo Martin says that the Dark Ages' Cosmic Realm isn't meant to be a supernatural link between the two shooter series, despite the obvious inter-dimensional similarities.

Chinese AI firm DeepSeek is cooking up its next-gen R2 AI model, which is said to be 97% cheaper to train than GPT-4, and it has been fully trained on Huawei AI GPUs.

In a new post on X by @deedydas has the hype train for DeepSeek R2 rocking and rolling, claiming that the new R2 model is going to adopt a hybrid MoE (Mixture of Experts) architecture, which is meant to be an advanced version of the existing MoE implementation, which should provide advanced gating mechanisms, or a combination of MoE + dense layers to optimize high-end AAI workloads.

DeepSeek R2 is set to double the parameters of R1, with 1.2 trillion parameters at the ready, and it's reportedly a whopping 97.3% cheaper to train than GPT 4o with the unit cost per token lower than 97.3% compared to GPT-4 at $0.07/M input token and 0.27/M output token. This means DeepSeek R2 is going to be uber-cheap for enterprise use, as it'll be the most cost-efficient AI model on the market.
