Graphics Cards - Page 34

It's taken a few years, but we're not at a point where building a new all-white rig is viable and easy enough, thanks to companies like ASUS releasing white-colored components, peripherals, and hardware covering all aspects of a modern gaming or enthusiast PC.

With the GeForce RTX 50 Series now out in the wild, with multiple models released so far this year, ASUS has announced a new range of White Edition versions of GeForce RTX 5070, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and even RTX 5090 graphics cards. These cards cover the company's value-focused Prime and premium TUF Gaming and ROG Astral models. The only difference here is the shift to an all-white color scheme.

Aesthetics is one of those subjective things, and many PC gamers aren't fussed about the look of a GPU or a complete PC build, for that matter. But that's the beauty of PC gaming in 2025 - there's something for everyone. For me, GPUs like the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti White Edition 16GB would look stunning in an all-white build.

When Intel released the mainstream-focused Intel Arc B580 GPU in December last year, we were impressed with the second-generation Arc card's performance and overall stability. With 12GB of VRAM and an MSRP of $249, it presented a viable alternative to cards like the GeForce RTX 4060. However, it left us wondering at the time if and when we might see an Intel Arc B770 - the flagship mid-range 'Battlemage' GPU and the real successor to the Intel Arc A770.

It's a question that persists to this day. Even though there have been rumors and information pointing to an Intel Arc B770 being an actual, for-real thing, Intel's recent Computex 2025 teaser made it seem like a B770 for gaming might be off the table or postponed. The teaser, which confirms that we will see multiple new Intel Arc Pro 'Battlemage' GPUs unveiled at the show, shifted the discrete GPU focus from gaming to the workstation and AI market.

It's a sensible move, and credible leaks suggest that an Intel Arc B580 GPU with 24GB of VRAM will be the basis for at least one of these new Arc Pro cards. Still, what about the B770? Well, many have been asking Intel on social media. Surprisingly, Intel is responding with variations of 'stay tuned.'

AMD's Computex 2025 presentation will be held on May 21 and will be live-streamed for everyone to see. The YouTube embed is below. Jack Huynh, SVP and GM of the Computing and Graphics Group, will be there, alongside AMD partners and customers, to showcase "what's next in gaming, AI PCs, and more."

With that, the AMD Gaming channel on X has posted a little teaser confirming that we'll see the next entry in AMD's RDNA 4-powered Radeon RX 9000 Series - the Radeon RX 9060 XT. The teaser includes an image of what could be the GPU's reference design, showcasing a compact two-slot, twin-fan build with a single 8-pin power connector.

And we say 'could be' because the image notes that the GPU pictured is simply an 'artistic render' and that this particular model is 'not available for purchase.' This is unsurprising as AMD didn't release a reference design or model for its flagship Radeon RX 9070 XT, and used a similar 'artistic render' for its promotional material.

Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) filings can often be a catch-all, including products planned for release that may or may not see the light of day. However, the latest from MAXSUN, which includes references to a MAXSUN Intel Arc B580 iCraft 24G and MAXSUN Intel Arc B580 iCraft 24G OC GPU, adds weight to the rumor that Intel is planning to announce one or more GPUs with 24GB of VRAM at Computex next week.

Last week, Intel took to social media to tease that it was planning to announce multiple Intel Arc Pro GPUs at Computex, aimed at the AI and workstation market. With this new listing from MAXSUN, it does look like Intel's partners have been working with the premise that there will be a consumer-focused Intel Arc B580 with 24GB of VRAM, with designs similar to the current gaming-focused Intel Arc B580 12GB graphics card.

Again, this could simply be a placeholder catch-all listing, so it remains to be seen if the 24GB 'Battlemage' GPU will be limited to new Intel Arc Pro cards or if there will also be a B580 with 24GB of VRAM with a more traditional PC gaming design.

AMD's RX 9060 XT has been the subject of further leaked specs, and not only have we had a glimpse of some nippy clock speeds for this GPU, but it appears that AMD is going to trump NVIDIA in terms of full support for PCIe lanes.

According to @momomo_us, a hardware leaker who pops up with info regularly on X (hat tip to VideoCardz), boost clocks for the RX 9060 XT are going to be pushed hard to around 3.3GHz, with Game clocks at around the 2.7GHz to 2.8GHz level.

That's a lot faster than RX 9070 models, particularly the vanilla spin on that higher-tier RDNA 4 GPU which only clocks in at around 2.5GHz for boost. Previous speculation has insisted that AMD is going fast with the clocks for the 9060 XT and this appears to very much back up that assertion.

The super-rare ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 "Dhahab Edition" graphics card is now available, featuring $700 worth of REAL gold, and a starting price of an eye-watering $7000.

The new ultra-high-end graphics card is exclusive to the Middle East, and won't be available anywhere else, with a price ranging between $6700 to a quite simply insane $10,600 depending on where you buy it. The new ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 "Dhahab Edition" features an all-gold finish, with the word "Dhahab" meaning gold in Arabic.

ASUS includes 6.5 grams of 999 fineness gold embedded into the RTX 5090, with the gold on the graphics card worth around $700 on its own with today's gold prices.

AMD's RX 9060 XT is rumored to be going on sale in June - following a supposed May 21 reveal at Computex - and it looks like Amazon might have spilled the intended release date.

VideoCardz flagged up that Amazon has posted a pair of listings for the XFX Swift Radeon RX 9060 XT OC Gaming Edition, one for the 8GB version and another for the 16GB model.

Price tags are provided - the 8GB variant is $450 and the 16GB flavor is $520 - and the release date is marked as June 5.

A new report at Igor's Lab has information on the upcoming May 19 launch of the GeForce RTX 5060 8GB GPU from NVIDIA, the long-awaited successor to the popular RTX 3060 and RTX 4060. According to the report, the site won't publish a day-one or launch-day review for the mainstream RTX Blackwell GPU for a reason that raises a few questions.

As per the article, Igor's Lab notes that it has already received its GeForce RTX 5060 sample or samples; however, their review is delayed due to NVIDIA not providing any press drivers until launch. For those wondering, the review process for a GPU (check out our many reviews of RTX Blackwell and RDNA 4 here) involves receiving samples with enough lead time to ensure that reviews are ready (and as thorough as they can be) when stock hits shelves.

Part of this process includes gaining access to pre-release or press drivers, which specifically add support for the new GPU. In the case of GeForce RTX, official drivers are made available to the public on launch day with minimal, if any, changes to the pre-release or press drivers.

If you're a keen antique collector in the tech sphere, then here's something that might interest you - an NVIDIA Riva TNT video accelerator is up for auction.

As VideoCardz was switched on enough to notice, the sale is being run by Heritage Auctions, and it's for an "NVIDIA Riva TNT Engineering Prototype Kit & Lunch Box" both of which are signed by Jensen Huang.

Well, we say signed by the NVIDIA CEO, but that isn't verified in the case of both signatures, so take that with a pinch of pixels.

Yes, the rumors are true. Intel plans to announce and unveil a new range of discrete graphics cards at Computex 2025 with the latest Intel Arc Pro GPU range. Details are scarce, with Intel taking to social media to tease the new line-up with the Intel Arc Pro logo while hinting that these new GPUs will be for the workstation and AI workload market.

There have been rumors for a few months that Intel was planning to debut a workstation version of the Intel Arc B580. Intel partner SPARKLE recently said that a 24GB model was on track for May or June before retracting those comments. VRAM capacity is a key component for workstations and AI GPUs, more so than clock speeds and other hardware designed primarily for gaming.

With this in mind, Intel is expected to announce Intel Arc Pro B570 20GB and Intel Arc Pro B580 24GB GPUs at Computex 2025, based on the company's existing Battlemage desktop line-up. However, there's also a chance that it will unveil a more powerful Battlemage-powered Intel Arc Pro GPU based on the "BMG-G31" chip.

AMD has launched its third RDNA-powered Radeon RX 9000 Series GPU in Asia, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE (which stands for Great Radeon Edition). In the past, GRE models have traditionally launched in countries like China first before making their way globally months later - case in point, the Radeon RX 7900 GRE.

With the GPU now available in the region, reviews are online detailing its performance compared to new GPUs like the Radeon RX 9070, GeForce RTX 5070, and even the new GeForce RTX 5060 Ti. Per AMD's official product page for the Radeon RX 9070 GRE, which went live last week, the card is, on average, around 6% faster than the Radeon RX 7900 GRE.

According to one review online at Bilibili (via @unikoshardware and Wccftech), which tested 20 games at 1440p, including Cyberpunk 2077, Counter-Strike 2, Call of Duty, Forza Horizon 5, Black Myth: Wukong, F1 24, Resident Evil 4, Monster Hunter: Wilds, and more, we have the following results.

An AMD RX 7300 graphics card has just been spotted as an addition to AIDA64, which is a somewhat mystifying move.

What's going on here? Well, that's got a lot of people confused as you might imagine, but an entry for the GPU info relating to the RX 7300 is present in the latest beta release notes for AIDA64. It appears alongside NVIDIA's mobile RTX 5060 and 5070 graphics cards (and a couple of other GPUs to boot).

VideoCardz noticed this and theorizes that maybe there is actually an RX 7300 out there already, in some obscure corner of the computing world. We guess it's possible that somewhere in Asia an unknown OEM has this card in a PC, but we're not sure it's all that likely.

Intel's Tom Petersen has previously confirmed that the company's next-gen Arc graphics architecture, Xe3 "Celestial," is effectively baked, meaning its specs, hardware, and other improvements have been finalized. He also hinted that the Arc design team has already moved on to Xe4. Xe3 "Celestial" is the successor to Xe2 "Battlemage," the architecture that powers the Intel Arc B580 GPU and the integrated graphics in the latest Intel Core Ultra processors.

According to a new post on X from @Haze2K1, discrete Xe3 "Celestial" GPUs have reached the pre-silicon validation. This phase allows Intel and its partners to boot and test the new architecture before physical silicon (actual graphics cards) becomes available. Traditionally, this would mean testing power and frequency curves and emulating the hardware in various states. Reaching pre-silicon validation means this work is now complete.

This is a big step toward full production, but it remains to be seen what form Xe3 will take - will it be strictly for mobile devices and integrated graphics, or will it include a mix of mobile and discrete hardware? Time will tell, with TechPowerUp adding that if everything else goes well, Intel could be mass-producing discrete Xe3 "Celestial" GPUs by the end of this year or early 2026.

The latest rumors and leaks have been pointing to AMD announcing its mainstream RDNA 4 combo, the Radeon RX 9060 XT 8GB and Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, at Computex 2025 in a few weeks. The same reports also indicate a launch in the first week or so of June. This is right around the corner, so it's unsurprising that a retailer has already started listing Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB GPUs.

Brazilian electronics outlet Terabyteshop did precisely that by posting a product page and listing for the GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9060 XT GAMING OC 16GB. The physical design looks similar to the GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 GAMING OC we recently reviewed, with three GIGABYTE Hawk Fans and 2 x DisplayPort 2.1a and 2 x HDMI 2.1b outputs.

The page, which has since been taken down (but not after Videocardz spotted it), also confirms that the Radeon RX 9060 XT will be powered by a single 8-pin power connector, even in 16GB form. The listing is light on specs, but with GIGABYTE's GV-R9060XTGAMING OC-16GD product code, we can expect this to be one of the launch models when the GPU debuts.

"Starting May 19th at 9 a.m. Pacific Time, GeForce RTX 5060 graphics cards and GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPUs will be available from add-in-card partners, OEM partners, system integrators, and retailers worldwide," NVIDIA writes in its latest DLSS update post, confirming the launch date for its mainstream RTX Blackwell GPUs.

May 19 has been rumored for a while now, so it's great to see NVIDIA confirm the launch date. The GeForce RTX 5060 desktop GPU, which features 3840 CUDA Cores, 8GB of GDDR7 memory, and a Boost Clock speed of 2497 MHz, starts from $299. NVIDIA also confirms that GeForce RTX 5060 laptops will be available starting from $1,099. The laptop variant will be a cut-down 45W version with 3328 CUDA Cores and a Boost Clock speed of

1455 MHz.

With NVIDIA launching its GeForce RTX 5060 Series and AMD prepping to debut the Radeon RX 9060 XT, fresh rumors are now pointing to Intel entering the mix with a potential Intel Arc B770 reveal at Computex 2025. This would be the company's flagship 'Battlemage' GPU, building on the goodwill from December's launch of the mainstream Intel Arc B580.

Although the Intel Arc B580 has had issues with availability and pricing, the 12GB mainstream GPU offers decent 1440p gaming performance, is faster than the GeForce RTX 4060, and is more affordable. The long-rumored Intel Arc B770, which will ship with up to 32 Xe2 cores and 16GB of VRAM on a fast 256-bit memory interface, could be here sooner than you think.

The Intel Arc B770 is based on the "BMG-G31" chip, which recently appeared on shipping manifests for an Intel facility in Vietnam. According to a new report at Wccftech, this facility is responsible for producing the Intel Arc Limited Edition GPUs for the company, pointing to it as the company's next big discrete GPU launch.

NVIDIA's tweaked GeForce RTX 5090D has reportedly been impacted by new US export restrictions, and now under a "full sales ban" in China, with no more RTX 5090D cards to see the light of day in China.

In some new reports on Board Channels picked up by @HXL on X, US government regulations preventing NVIDIA from making faster and more advanced GPUs available in China saw the company tweaking its gaming and AI GPUs, releasing the flagship RTX 5090D based on the GB202 GPU and featuring the same 24GB of GDDR7 memory, but with hardware-level limitations on AI inference support, getting around regulatory requirements.

We had rumors from April 2025 that said AIB partners were told by NVIDIA to stop selling the RTX 5090D in China, with a new GPU ban expected, and it seems that is now here.

When NVIDIA formally announced the GeForce RTX 5060 Series, it provided an in-depth look at the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti (starting from $379) while also confirming that the mainstream GeForce RTX 5060 (starting from $299) was on track for a May 2025 launch.

With the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti now out in the wild - check out our reviews here - rumors are pointing to the RTX 5060 launching on May 19, which is when Computex 2025 kicks off in Taipei. Outside of a potential GeForce RTX 5050, the RTX 5060 could be the final discrete desktop RTX Blackwell launch for 2025, until a potential SUPER refresh sometime in 2026.

As the successor to the GeForce RTX 3060 and RTX 4060, it's also poised to become the best-selling model in the GeForce RTX 50 Series lineup.

ASUS has already released a wide range of GeForce RTX 50 Series models, from the more affordable Prime series to the premium TUF Gaming line-up and the new flagship ROG Astral beasts. With the increased popularity of white-colored components and PC gaming builds in recent years, there's some good news for those eyeing an ASUS GPU - the company is finally releasing its first pair of white GeForce RTX 5070 Series graphics cards.

The product pages for the ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 White OC Edition and ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti White OC Edition are now live, and if you're a fan of the all-white aesthetic, they do look pretty cool. The all-white TUF Gaming design is especially impressive as ASUS's revamped TUF Gaming design for the latest GeForce RTX and Radeon RX GPUs transforms the model into a futuristic piece of sci-fi hardware.

ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti White OC Edition is a triple-fan GPU with a 3.125-slot design built with 'military-grade' components and an out-of-the-box OC mode Boost Clock speed of 2610 MHz, which is notably higher than the reference spec of 2452 MHz. It's also one of ASUS's GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs with five output ports - 3 x DisplayPort 2.1b and 2 x HDMI 2.1b.

The Steam Hardware and Software Survey results for April 2025 are in, and when it comes to the most popular gaming GPUs out there, several GeForce RTX 50 Series models have finally made the list. So far, the two most popular cards of the RTX Blackwell generation are the GeForce RTX 5080 and GeForce RTX 5070, followed by the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti.

Both the RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti are new to the list this month, and the GeForce RTX 5070 has quickly gained 0.36% since launching in early March 2025. Interestingly, AMD's new Radeon RX 9070 XT, also launched in early March 2025, has yet to appear on the list, even though the flagship RDNA 4 GPU's launch is widely viewed as a success.

Yes, according to Steam's latest data, there are many more GeForce RTX 5070 GPUs out there; however, as it's still early days for the GeForce RTX 50 Series and Radeon RX 9000 Series, we expect to see a lot more movement in the coming months, especially as more mainstream models hit the market.
