We've already had our geek meters blown up over all of the other AIB partners' custom GeForce RTX series graphics cards, and now it's time for ASUS to shine.

VideoCardz is behind this leak (and every single other one) with our first look at the ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 cards smiling for the camera. We also get a look at the upcoming DUAL and TURBO RTX series, with a blower fan cooling down the next-gen Turing GPU architecture and GDDR6 memory.

First up, we have the ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2080 Ti with a triple-fan cooler and what seems like a 2.5-slot design. The RTX 2080 version of the card looks identical, except it has cut down specs compared to the RTX 2080 Ti.

Cable network FOX is making a live action television series based on the excellent Vampyr game, proving the stars do align sometimes.

When I first learned about Vampyr's premise--that of a vampire doctor who can either heal or feed on those around him, or both--I thought one thing quite clearly: it's an absolute perfect fit for a TV or movie adaptation. The game's story is winding and clever, its early 1900's London grim and dark, and its themes macabre but also unique (I love the idea of a vampire doctor who keeps denizens alive like cattle just so he can feed on them in the future). In my Vampyr review I noted that the game's themes are darkly enchanting and Dr. Acula's arc of development is bloody good...and even noticed some interesting parallels to other shows like Tales From the Crypt.

Other than FOX securing the rights, not much is known about Vampyr's TV series right now. We have no clue who will play Dr. Jonathan Reid (aka Dr. Acula) but we do know that Wonderland Sound and Vision will produce effects and work alongside DJ2 Entertainment to create the show. No release date or window was given and it could take some time to flesh out Dontnod's grim and foggy world, but I for one can't wait to see what FOX and company cook up.

To celebrate the release of 'Deadpool 2' on home video, we have ten Blu-ray copies of the film to give away thanks to our friends at Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment!

After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) (Ryan Reynolds) struggles to fulfil his dream of becoming Mayberry's hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste.

We've seen MSI's upcoming GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO as well as the upcoming MSI GeForce RTX 2080/2080 Ti DUKE... and now it's time for Palit.

Palit will reportedly, according to the leak from VideoCardz, be offering their new series in the form of the GamingPro and GamingPro OC. Both cards will use custom PCBs and cooling solutions, with a dual-fan cooler on both models.

Both of the Palit offerings in the GeForce RTX 2080 and GeForce RTX 2080 Ti will have factory overclocks applied (clock speeds unknown right now), with 8GB of GDDR6 on the RTX 2080 and 11GB of GDDR6 on the GTX 2080 Ti.

I'm literally sitting at the airport here in Adelaide, South Australia writing all of this news about the new flow of leaks on NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 20 series and it isn't stopping. Germany, here I come!

Before I went to bed last night I wrote up about MSI's new GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO graphics card, something VideoCardz leaked to the world and now they're back with a leak on MSI's other RTX 20 series card.

We now have our first look at the MSI GeForce RTX 2080 and RTX 2080 Ti DUKE graphics cards, which are similar - but not identical to the GAMING X TRIO variant.

It looks like NVIDIA will be unveiling the higher-end GeForce RTX 2080 Ti next week, and not just the expected GeForce RTX 2070 and RTX 2080 graphics cards. VideoCardz is now showing off some photos of MSI's first custom RTX 2080 Ti graphics card.

MSI's new GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO graphics card is similar to the current GTX 1080 Ti GAMING X TRIO, but the new card features a few fairly large changes, apart from the new Turing GPU and GDDR6 memory. The new RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO has a VirtualLink connector, the new USB-C port for next-gen VR headsets but it is the loss of SLI and gain of NVLink which has me happy.

I only just wrote about NVIDIA ditching the SLI connector in favor of NVLink, which could see VRAM doubling instead of being wasted on the other card. This would mean that two RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards in NVLink would have a truly insane 22GB of GDDR6 at its disposal.

Tarsier Studios, the developers behind the indie horror adventure success Little Nightmares have announced that their title has reached a massive milestone of 1 million units sold.

For those that don't know, Little Nightmares is a game where players take control of a little girl called Six. Six has awoken in what is called The Maw, a underwater resort scattered with different monsters that she has to escape from. Now jumping over to where the sales came from, the numbers include both digital and physical copy releases across all platforms, the platforms are the following: PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.

Andreas Johnsson, CEO at Tarsier Studios has spoken out about this achievement, here is what he said "We're very proud that our first original game sold so well, it's well beyond what we ever expected. "Little Nightmares is after all part of an indie game landscape and the fact that one million players have played our game is wonderful. This achievement is a milestone for both Tarsier Studios and Little Nightmares. To have created an original game that becomes as successful is proof that the new direction for the studio was the right choice, and that feels great. Little Nightmares is available on the Xbox One, PS4, PC and the Nintendo Switch. If you missed out on the Little Nightmares Nintendo Switch trailer, check that out here.

After the recent news confirming Diablo 3 being ported over to the Nintendo Switch, Blizzards Senior Producer, Pete Stilwell was asked if it was possible that Overwatch could see the same treatment. Hold onto your hat because Overwatch coming to the Nintendo Switch is completely possible.

Blizzard and Nintendo just confirmed that Diablo 3 would be making its way to the handheld console this fall, and while that is amazing news GameSpot has sat down with Senior Producer at Blizzard Entertainment, Pete Stilwell. Stilwell was asked a series of questions regarding the now confirmed port of Diablo 3, the producer said that now that the developers have worked very closely with the Nintendo Switchs' technology, the developers have now achieved a much better grasp on how everything works, thus opening up more possible avenues for collaboration.

With the developers now new found knowledge of how the system works, GameSpot directly asked Stilwell if he could see Overwatch being ported over to the Switch. Stilwell replied with: "Anything is within the realm of possibility. Our team was given the task to work on this. If [Overwatch developer] Team 4 picks up that endeavor, that's on them. As of right now Diablo is our only focus on Switch." Stilwell was further asked if the Switch had the technological capabilities to run Overwatch, the Senior Producer replied with "Yes, it is feasible." Sure, this isn't really much to go off to say that Overwatch is 100% coming to the Switch, but it does confirm that it is entirely possible. Could we see Blizzard make an Overwatch port sometime soon? Perhaps, my personal guess would that the developers will wait until Diablo 3 is successfully brought over before tackling another massive project.

Square Enix has released yet another video revealing some footage of the upcoming Shadow of the Tomb Raider. This time round we get to see Lara in action as she takes down many enemies with his makeshift arsenal.

The video focuses on the weapons that Lara will be making to take down her enemies. According to the video "Makeshit Arsenal", Lara can make bows, bottle grenades, smoke grenades, poison grenades, fire arrows, explosive arrows and much more. From the video we can see Lara using a multitude of weapons to take down her foes, we even see her going guns blazing with a rapid fire pistol, machine guns and even a pump action shotgun.

If you missed out on the other short trailers that Square Enix has released, be sure to check out the 40 second clip showcasing the 'Deadly Tombs' that will be found throughout Shadow of the Tomb Raider. There is also another short video that reveals some of the vast enviroments that will be present throughout the title, check that out here. Shadow of the Tomb Raider will be released on PS4, Xbox One and PC on September 14th.

Rumors have surfaced about a coming New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U coming to the Nintendo Switch. According to the rumors the title will be released sometime in 2018.

According to Comic Book, sources that are close to Nintendo Europe have told the website that Nintendo are planning on releasing port of 'New Super Mario Bros. U' for the Nintendo Switch. The rumor reveals that this port of New Super Mario Bros. U will also contain the paid DLC New Super Luigi U. Comic Book claims that these rumors have been provided by the same person who gave them accurate information regarding Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, but no definitive proof has been provided.

Comic Book also says that the title of the finished game could be 'New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe', "It's unclear whether or not this could be an internal placeholder, but the recurring nature of this title among multiple Nintendo sources suggests it could be more final." This would make sense and it would certainly complement the Gameboy Color Super Mario Bros. Deluxe title. Do take these rumors with a grain of salt because at the moment this is all hear-say , if anymore information surfaces regarding the potential port we will be sure to update you.

Following yesterday's leak, Blizzard today confirmed Diablo III is coming to the Nintendo Switch while detailing some interesting tidbits about the port.

We've known for a while now that Diablo III would arrive on the Switch, but key details remained unknown. According to new info passed along to Eurogamer, the Diablo III Switch port will actually be filled with a number of options and modes.

The ARPG's Switch version will run at a smooth 60FPS across both handheld and docked modes, Blizzard confirms, and comes with extra Nintendo-inspired goodies like a Ganondorf skin, a cucco pet, a set of vanity wings, and a Triforce portrait for customization. The game is also bundled with the Reaper of Souls expansion alongside the new Rise of the Necromancer pack, which adds Diablo II's necromancer as a playable class.

343i's big new Halo game may not be numbered, but that doesn't mean it's anything other than a sequel.

When Halo Infinite was announced I'll admit I was anxious. 343 Industries is investing a ton into the next mainline game, going so far as to create a brand new games engine (the Slipspace Engine) just for the project, and is making promises to take the series in new directions. But one thing I pretty much knew from the start is that Halo Infinite is indeed Halo 6 and will continue where Halo 5 left off--for better or worse.

Now 343i confirms that yes, Halo Infinite is Halo 6, and no, it won't be any sort of prequel that, say, chronicles the story of Blue Team or dabbles in the Covenant's formation (much to my dismay). "It is Halo 6. You should just consider it Halo 6. Don't think of it as a weird prequel kind of thing. It's the next story. It's the next chapter in what is going on," said 343 Industries lead writer Jeff Easterling in a Mixer stream.

Battlefield V's new Gamescom 2018 gameplay footage highlights the game's dynamic mayhem and teases its battle royale mode.

Predictions of weak pre-orders notwithstanding, Battlefield V is looking damn good insofar as fluidity, gameplay, and overall technical prowess. Every bit of footage we've seen so far shows DICE's strengths across the board: destructible environments, new player mechanics, impressive effects, and a myriad of in-engine improvements.

The latest gameplay footage is short but sweet and full of seamless chaos. It gives players a look at a few new theaters of war where they'll battle for WW2 dominance, as well as a glimpse at the upcoming Grand Operations and battle royale modes.

Sony's PlayStation VR headset has broken 3 million sales worldwide, the company today announced.

While console-powered headsets are better suited for VR gaming than dedicated PC-driven HMDs like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, the market is dominated by cheaper mobile VR headsets. Sony has still managed to steal quite a bit of VR hardware sales from its competitors and remains a dominant player in the space--case in point: the PSVR has sold 3 million headsets globally. The headset has done well insofar as unit sales since it was released in October 2016. Sony's PSVR topped 1 million sales as of June 2017, and as Twitter's Dom's Playing notes, hit 2 million units nearly a year after its release.

At the same time, however, the headset's attach rate remains rather low. Sony has shipped over 82 million PS4 consoles as of Q2'18, which means about 3.7% of all PS4 owners actually have a PSVR too.

Feral Interactive has taken to their Twitter page as well as their YouTube Channel to announce that ROME: Total War is on its way to the iPhone. The title is scheduled for release on August 23rd.

The upcoming iteration of ROME: Total War for the iPhone will be including a very specifically redesigned user interface. According to Feral Interactive, the game is going to be taking full advantage over Apples Metal API, this will give the title further performance and overall provide a smoother experience for the user.

According to the mini-website made by Feral Interactive, ROME: Total War will be available on the following models of iPhone:

Flash Memory Summit 2018 - In 2015, Micron purchased a start-up SSD controller company called Tidal Systems, Inc. Tidal was on the verge of announcing IP and products when Micron purchased the company and all of its assets. Since then, Tidal Systems disappeared, and so did the products it was working on. At FMS 2018, Micron displayed a next-generation SSD with a Micron-branded controller. A company representative went off the record to confirm this is the long awaited Tidal NVMe controller.

Everything we could gather on the client SSD can be seen in the video. The display show two unannounced products, the first with a Marvell SATA controller paired with QLC flash. The middle product, the one with the Micron branded controller, is more interesting.

The display leads us to believe Micron will release the unnamed NVMe SSD to OEMs for high-performance systems. It supports user mode encryption and appears to be an 8-channel architecture with support for DDR4. The screen makes it difficult to see more than the broad strokes.

Flash Memory Summit 2018 - After ravaging the consumer SSD market for the last two years, Silicon Motion took the wraps off its first enterprise-focused controller.

The SM2270 will initially ship in enterprise SSDs from subsidiary Shannon Systems. SMI will likely have a number of additional design wins. Most of the companies we speak with on the consumer SSD side praise SMI for exceptional customer service and responsive field engineers that help bring products to market.

The SM2270 supports up to PCIe 3.0 x8 and started out as a design for add-in cards (AIC). Changes in market conditions pushed SMI to move the design to 2.5" products with dual-mode compatibility. We may see the SM2270 used in both AIC and 2.5" products.

Publisher for Gone Home, Annapurna Interactive and developer Fullbright Studios, have announced that their title is on its way to the Nintendo Switch.

Gone Home debuting to the Nintendo Switch is in celebration of the 5th anniversary for the title, according to Annapurna Interactive the publisher is "happy to announce that this genre-defining classic will be available for Nintendo Switch on August 23rd, 2018." For more information regarding the Nintendo Switch release visit the official Gone Home website here.

Insomniac Games' Spider-Man title for the PS4 is moving closer and closer to its release date and the hype is no where near slowing down. To add to that snowball of hype, a new trailer has been released via the IGN YouTube Channel and it reveals some most notable structures from the Marvel universe.

The trailer has been titled New York City Open-World trailer and showcases Spidy flinging around his concrete jungle playground and it looks absolutely incredible. The trailer is narrated by J. Jonah Jameson and Jameson is throwing the blame for the cities crimes on Spider-Man, Peter Parker then calls into the station under the allias Peter Patterson to defend him. Jameson continues and we can see from the trailer that these 'swan dives' that are mentioned are in front of the Avengers Tower.

Not only was the Avengers Tower spotted within the trailer but so was the Dr. Strange building. That is right, the Sanctum Santorum can be seen at exactly 0.40 seconds into the video. It is unclear what kind of interaction players will be able to do with Stranges building, but at least it can be confirmed that it is in the game. Marvel's Spider-Man will be releasing exclusively on the PlayStation 4 on September 7th.
