In just over a couple of weeks, the RTX 4090 GPU ban might come into force for the Chinese market, perhaps with considerable repercussions for other region.

NVIDIA RTX 4090 prices have risen of late, and will continue to do so as the year rolls onwards in theory - but that'll all change early next year.

NVIDIA purportedly has some kind of plan to sneak up pricing of the RTX 4080 to make breathing room for the RTX 4070 Super when it arrives.

It's a shame as the Arc A580 isn't without its merits, but apparently sales of the GPU are 'effectively non-existent' according to one retailer.

Strange goings on in the cleanroom, apparently, as a flagship Lovelace graphics card ends up failing to work due to a insect trapped inside somehow.

Mainly because at the time of writing, the Arc A750 has been cut in price so it's only a touch more expensive - and it gives you a bit of extra pep.

OpenAI, the world's leading artificial intelligence company, has hinted at powering its AI tools with in-house chips to combat the GPU shortage.

Soon, MSI will have four different slim versions of each Lovelace graphics card it makes, and that includes the RTX 4080, and the 4090 flagship.

Is there a chance MSI won't produce models based on these GPUs at all? Perhaps, but it's more likely the card maker is just biding its time.

A YouTube leaker reckons that there's suddenly a lot of buzz at AMD for its frame generation tech, so FSR is likely on the cusp of being revealed.

With AMD doing well in the mid-range already with its last-gen GPUs, and preparing the RX 7700 XT and 7800 XT for launch, NVIDIA may run some interference.

If a YouTube leaker is on the money - and they're one of the more reliable sources - NVIDIA has six million lower-end Ampere GPUs remaining to sell.

Moore's Law is Dead believes that if AI boards continue to sell a ton of units, NVIDIA could scale back the RTX 5090 - but at least it'd cost less, too.

Clues dug up by a leaker suggest Battlemage will have a beefy enough flagship, perhaps good enough to match the RTX 4070 - or even beat it?

Intel has released a new graphics driver with Madden NFL 24 support, and took the time to show how much better value the A750 GPU is than NVIDIA's RTX 3060.

After a whole lot of radio silence from AMD since FSR 3 was first announced, we're hearing that it could arrive as soon as September.

Scrapping Navi 41 should mean RDNA 4 arrives in a timely manner - and that AMD can focus on making RDNA 5 fulfil its apparently huge potential.

What this - and other recent big price drops on GPUs that sold out quickly - illustrates is that there is pent-up demand for current-gen products.

Intel revealed the Arc A580 almost a year ago now, but the desktop graphics card has since been missing in action - hopefully, not for much longer...

AMD's flagship has only just appeared in the Steam hardware survey even though it was launched at the close of 2022, and no other RDNA 3 GPUs are present.

Apparently AMD still isn't certain which of these models will be launched, but at least two RDNA 3 GPUs are coming at Gamescom, we're told.

AMD's RDNA 2 graphics cards have sold very well through July, as have RX 7900 models, and NVIDIA's low-end Ampere GPUs, according to retailer sources.

Kopite7kimi has been quiet for a time on the subject of NVIDIA, but we're now told that any plans for an RTX 4090 Ti graphics card have been scrapped.

The problem isn't demand, but a lack of supply, with NVIDIA supposedly scaling down production - meaning some RTX 4060 Ti models will soon be out of stock.

AMD's latest driver boosts frame rates by up to 67% for the RX 7900 XT GPU, with huge gains for Forza Horizon 5, and a chunky uplift for The Last of Us.

PC gamers have long been plagued by stuttering issues, here and there, but RTX IO looks like a big step towards banishing those blues.

Over in Europe the ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 4060 Ti with 16GB is more expensive than the cheapest RTX 4070 at one retailer - which is clearly nonsense.

Been the victim of stalled PC boots, or black screens, while using a DisplayPort 1.3 or 1.4 connection? NVIDIA has a firmware update to fix these problems.

Next RDNA 3 GPUs to be revealed in August, with a vanilla RX 7900 in the offing too - but it'll be a curious product with a very low-key launch.

Apparently the new Founders Edition of the NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics card has the revised power connector design as seen on the RTX 4070 already.

Now we're told the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB flavor is a card that NVIDIA's board making partners really don't want to know about, and reviews will arrive late.

Board manufacturing partners are unexcited about the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, and won't be pushing this graphics card much, we're told via the grapevine.

Intel Arc rumors are indicating that if Battlemage GPUs aren't already a lost cause, these graphics cards are seriously floundering.

The fresh spin on the RTX 4060 Ti graphics card should be here in under a fortnight, but how many gamers are going to buy this 16GB version?

In Spain, the RTX 4060 has been dropped substantially only just after its launch, and we've seen price cuts in France and Germany, too.

The AMD Germany site has mentioned a Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card, but this is more likely a mistake than anything - although you never know...

In two European countries we're now seeing the RTX 4060 get reduced to 6% under MSRP - so is it just a matter of time before this is the case in the US?

There has already been a price rise for the freshly released RTX 4060, and more will follow across the entire range, right up to the RTX 4090 flagship.

Shaky sales in Europe, and the same story in Japan? That's our first taste of rumors around how the RTX 4060 fared on the shelves on launch day.

GPU sales are at rock-bottom for much of the current-gen range of cards from NVIDIA and AMD, with some exceptions - notably the RX 7900 XTX.

Assassin's Creed Unity is almost a decade old, which explains why graphics driver optimizations make a big difference for Arc GPUs here.

That said, no one seems to have a very clear idea of what the next model (or models) might be, with AMD supposedly undecided on which path to take.

Is that enough of a generational leap for you? NVIDIA does, however, point out that DLSS 3 makes a massive difference for supported games.

If you thought $120 was a good price - and it is - you can actually grab this graphics card for $108 if you move fast enough (meaning today) at Newegg.

Early pricing from Europe will make your wallet cower, but there are a number of factors to consider when looking at such pre-release listings.

Finally, we may soon have another option for RDNA 3 GPUs besides super-expensive RX 7900 models, and the bargain basement RX 7600 graphics card.

Less than a month after hitting the shelves, an RTX 4060 Ti from MSI is now 5% under the recommended retail price - and it's an overclocked model too.

The rumor mill paints a pretty desperate picture for NVIDIA's brave new mid-range hope, which could be the 'worst launch in memory' we're told.

MSI Ventus 2X Black OC has been snapped over at the show - it's a dual fan graphics card which is designed to fit easily into smaller PCs.

A freshly released BIOS supercharges this liquid-cooled graphics card so it hits 2935MHz, where the previous boost speed was 2680MHz.
