Arm, known for its processor designs, is reportedly developing its own line of consumer-grade GPUs to compete with industry giants like AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel. This move could shake up the graphics card market, but faces significant challenges.
GPU-Z v2.6.0 is out, bringing support for NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace RTX 40 series, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite, AMD Zen 5 processors, and more. This update also fixes temperature issues for AMD’s Zen 5 CPUs and includes support for Intel’s Raptor Lake-U and Meteor Lake.
AMD is reportedly moving away from entry-level Radeon RX 7000 Series GPUs and focusing all efforts on the next generation RDNA 4 architecture. This means no Radeon RX 7400 or 7300 GPUs will be released, and AMD’s partners are already developing and testing RDNA 4-powered Radeon RX 8000 Series cards. While the potential entry-level RDNA 3 GPUs might have been appealing for budget builders, the shift to RDNA 4 promises significant performance upgrades and a major boost in ray-tracing capabilities.
Nvidia is reportedly discontinuing the popular RTX 3060 graphics card, marking the end of an era for the widely used GPU. While the card remains the most popular on Steam, newer options like the RTX 4060 and AMD’s RX 7600 offer better performance at similar price points.
Intel’s next-generation Battlemage GPUs are generating excitement, promising significant improvements over the current Arc lineup. While details remain shrouded in speculation, whispers suggest a focus on budget gaming with intriguing architectural advancements and potential performance gains. We explore the latest rumors, potential specs, pricing, and release date information.
Nvidia is already working on its next-gen RTX 50-series GPUs, despite the recent RTX 40-series refresh. Rumors and leaks suggest a late 2024 or early 2025 release, with a possible focus on efficiency and a launch strategy mirroring the RTX 40-series. While the exact specifications are still under wraps, the GPUs are expected to feature Blackwell architecture, GDDR7 memory, and support for DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1. Performance estimates vary, with some sources suggesting a moderate increase over the RTX 40-series, while others claim a significant leap. The power draw is also a point of speculation, with rumors of a new 16-pin connector and a potential increase in power consumption for the flagship RTX 5090.
AMD has released AMD Fluid Motion Frames 2 (AFMF 2), an updated version of its driver-based frame generation technology. This update features significant improvements, including lower latency, better image quality, and expanded compatibility. AFMF 2 works on Radeon RX 6000 and 7000 Series graphics cards and AMD Ryzen Processors with integrated Radeon Graphics.
ASRock has introduced its new passively-cooled Radeon RX 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT graphics cards, designed for multi-card computing in professional environments like small businesses and content creation. These cards feature a vapor chamber heatsink, efficient aluminum cooling fins, and a single horizontal 12V-2×6 power connector for easy multi-card installation.
NVIDIA is reportedly developing a new TITAN AI graphics card based on the Blackwell architecture, aiming to outperform even the upcoming GeForce RTX 5090. Leaks suggest this card could be significantly faster than the RTX 4090, potentially featuring 48GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus.
