A Micro Center buyer in Tustin says the store made them sign an export declaration and show ID before completing a PowerSpec AI90 purchase with a GeForce RTX 5090. According to the customer, a manager scanned their driver's license, and staff described the form as a new procedure. -
NVIDIA has posted GeForce Security Update Driver 582.78 WHQL for older GeForce cards, with the update focused on patching 114 security vulnerabilities. The driver is intended for 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11, and it supports selected desktop models from the GTX 700, GTX 900, and GTX 10 series. -
On Linux, d4r 0.1.2 now lets Radeon RX 9000 owners try experimental DLSS 4 and DLSS 4.5 support through Proton, although the feature has not yet been tested on actual RX 9000 hardware. Developer Countervolts added the support for AMD's RDNA 4 cards, but performance and image quality remain unknown. -
A buyer of a GeForce RTX 3060 Twin Edge expected a fresh warranty when he purchased the card on June 27, 2025, but ZOTAC said the coverage had already run out before the sale. u/AbhishekG9 registered the graphics card a few days later, and the company's warranty policy says coverage starts from the original purchase date or the distributor's import or invoice date. -
A GeForce RTX 4090 owner noticed intermittent black screens with audio still playing, then found signs of heat damage near one contact on the card's included 16-pin power adapter. The owner had already set an 80% power limit to cut temperatures and reduce the risk of problems. -
The RX 9070 XT and RTX 5070 Ti are nearly neck and neck in games, but the price gap between them has reached $400. NVIDIA's cost per frame is 51% higher at 1440p. The extra money doesn't pay off in performance, though Team Green still has stronger software and DLSS 4. -
Micron's catalog indicates that the company no longer plans to make 2 GB GDDR7 chips, and SK Hynix has already discontinued both versions of these chips, further shrinking the number of memory suppliers for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards. -
A Reddit user named wax469 says his GeForce RTX 5080 16G VENTUS 3X began failing after an unofficial DLSS 5 mod was added to GTA V, though the exact cause is still unconfirmed. The heavily modified GTA V Legacy had reportedly been running normally for weeks before the mod was installed. -
GPU makers may soon get new options for high-capacity memory, as Golden Pig Upgrade says 4GB and 6GB GDDR7 chips could arrive in 2027 or 2028. The claim suggests vendors may be able to build different VRAM configurations without having to widen the memory bus. -
GeForce RTX 50 owners are increasingly reporting a strange failure: the graphics card suddenly stops responding, the screen goes black, and then the GPU disappears from the system. -
The laptop RTX 5090 has been made to draw significantly more power than the manufacturer intended, and it delivered a noticeable performance boost. Using the NvpwrControl utility, enthusiasts raised the power limit from 175W to 250W, and in some tests the gain reached nearly 42%. -
According to ChannelGate, AMD's planned price increase is tied to higher wafer costs at TSMC, whose manufacturing fees are reportedly rising across several process nodes. The company's dependence on TSMC as a fabless chipmaker means those costs can flow directly into its own pricing, with higher manufacturing costs at TSMC cited as the trigger. -
A new leak suggests AMD's next GPU architecture could require explicit game support for a neural rendering feature called Neural Lighting, rather than treating it like a universal post-process effect. The claim comes from insider Kepler_L2, who said the technology would use neural networks instead of traditional shaders and calculate lighting in real time. -
The flagship GeForce RTX 5090 unexpectedly lost to the Radeon RX 9070 XT in several gaming tests, even though in overall performance the cards are in completely different classes. The reason wasn't AMD superiority: in some scenarios the system hits a CPU bottleneck, and then the RTX 5090's extra power goes practically unused. -
A Reddit user says his RTX 5090 Founders Edition developed black-screen crashes under load, only for NVIDIA to later reject the warranty claim. The owner, posting as Willing-Avocado-4830, said he bought the card directly from the NVIDIA UK store almost one year earlier. -
The RTX 5090’s melting power-connector problem has reared its head again, but this time the circumstances were especially strange. The owner of the flagship graphics card found serious damage to the 16-pin connector after roughly an hour of playing Crypt of the NecroDancer — a game that’s already around 11 years old and usually isn’t hard on a modern GPU. -
ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 Edition 20 and ROG Matrix RTX 5090 30th Anniversary cards reportedly need a Chinese adapter to bypass the power cap normally tied to BTF 2.5 motherboards. VideoCardz reported on the workaround, which uses a dual-power setup to push the cards beyond their standard limits. -
Since January, GeForce RTX 5090 pricing in Germany has risen by about 73%, with the MSI Ventus 3X OC now listed at roughly €5,249 after starting at around €3,150. What was once NVIDIA's €2,099 flagship has effectively moved into luxury territory. The gap has widened sharply since January. Compared with the cheapest GeForce RTX 5090 price at that time, the current German minimum is up by about 73%. -
On an RTX 2060 Max-Q, one tester has already gotten NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation to launch in The Witcher 3 next-gen over DirectX 12, even though the feature is officially limited to RTX 40 and RTX 50 cards. The in-game Frame Generation option could be enabled on the GeForce RTX 20-series GPU. -
Radeon RX 6000 owners can now try AMD FSR 4.1.1b through a DLL-only OptiScaler workaround, without the user-facing INT8 binary or the OptiScaler utility. The instructions say users need to download the DLL and swap it into the Binaries > Win64 folder in their game. The modified file also bypasses the INT8 check, making the feature a plug-and-play solution.
