NVIDIA GPU Hotspot Temperature Has Been Unlocked Through Mods, & Shows Widespread Thermal Issues Affecting RTX 50 GPUs That Throttle Gaming Performance
Mods have unlocked NVIDIA's GPU Hotspot measurement on the RTX 50 series, which can give you a clue why your latest card is running at lower performance.
Starting with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" generation, NVIDIA dropped GPU Hotspot measurements.

AMD’s “PEPS” Research Pushes Neural Texture Compression Further, Cutting Model Parameters By 25% At Comparable Quality
AMD presented new research at the I3D Symposium titled "PEPS: Positional Encoding Projected Sampling", introducing a new method for positional encoding that can improve neural texture compression.
How Does Neural Texture Compression Work?
Neural Texture Compression works by training what are known as INRs, or “Implicit Neural Representations,” to learn coordinate-to-signal functions. By projecting texture coordinates into a higher-dimensional embedding and feeding this information to a multi-layer perceptron, it's possible to represent and compress textures significantly
