CoreWeave's continued use of NVIDIA A100 GPUs underscores how much life remains in the company's older AI infrastructure. The accelerators are part of NVIDIA's Ampere generation, which launched in 2020, and the arrangement shows that legacy hardware can still support long-term workloads. -

Newegg's median prices for NVIDIA's RTX 50 graphics cards have climbed by as much as about 40% in August 2026 compared with June 2026, even though the series originally launched at the start of 2025. The steepest jump hit the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, which rose from $569.99 to $804.99, and Tom's Hardware says the trend still shows no sign of easing. -

A technician opened up an RTX 4090 that had spent months in a room with a smoker, and the inside was packed with contamination. Under load, the graphics card reached 105°C, showing how quickly a flagship GPU can suffer in a polluted environment.
When the card was opened, the radiator was covered in a thick layer of dust and tobacco tar. The buildup had spread through the cooling system, leaving a stubborn coating that had to be removed manually. -

Two RTX Spark N1X configurations have surfaced in Geekbench 7, both running Windows 11 on Arm and giving the clearest look yet at NVIDIA's unreleased Arm-based laptop platform for AI, work, entertainment, and consumer notebooks. The leaked results show the chip ahead of AMD and Intel, though it still trails Apple. -
RAM crisis pushes buyers to desperate measures: in Taiwan, a flagship GeForce RTX 5090 now comes bundled with four Radeon graphics cards — or you don't get one at all
Hardware and Technologies August 8, 2026, 05:29 PM
Buying an RTX 5090 as a standalone product at Taiwanese retailer PC Home is no longer possible. The seller has put together several bundles, and in each one, NVIDIA's flagship comes loaded down with a pile of components buyers almost certainly don't need. The most absurd option looks like this: an ASUS ProArt GeForce RTX 5090 OC plus four ASUS Dual Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards. Want the top NVIDIA card? You're taking home four AMD cards as a bonus, for around $7,720. -
A Year of Blue Screens and Artifacts Ended for This RTX 4090 Owner with a Brand-New RTX 5090 — and a 30-Day Warranty
Gaming News August 8, 2026, 04:25 PM
For a full year, Reddit user Prudent_Echidna1254 was at war with his own graphics card. The RTX 4090 regularly dropped the system into a blue screen, froze solid, smeared the picture with artifacts, and threw PCIe bus errors. Over that stretch he sent it in for warranty service four separate times, and each time got back a card that eventually started behaving exactly the same way. -
RTX 5090 Owners Take Matters Into Their Own Hands — New Utility Appears to Prevent Melting Connectors
Hardware and Technologies August 7, 2026, 05:47 PM
It looks like GeForce RTX 5090 owners aren't exactly counting on official safeguards anymore. One enthusiast has released a free utility that shuts down the PC at the first sign of dangerous power connector overheating, in a bid to save the graphics card. And the very fact that such a tool now exists raises the question once again: why are users the ones trying to fix this, not the manufacturer? -

A new community tool is letting owners of NVIDIA's CMP 170HX mining cards experiment with AI workloads, but the unlock only works reliably on some boards and comes with a few hard limits. The tool was published on GitHub by amoghmunikote, and it is said to restore full SM compute throughput and unlocked HBM2e memory geometry. -

HWiNFO's changelog points to a new way of reading VRAM temperatures on AMD Navi cards, with the feature still listed under upcoming changes and no release date attached yet. Instead of a single overall VRAM value, the sensor mode will show individual GDDR6 package temperatures. That should make it easier to spot uneven heating on a card when one memory area runs hotter than the rest. -
