GeForce RTX 5090 turns one, now costs nearly twice the MSRP

RTX 5090 turns 1, but there’s nothing to celebrate

One year after launch, the GeForce RTX 5090 is still defined less by performance and more by access. The card sits at the top of the current GPU stack and remains the flagship for this generation. The card wasn’t easily available at launch, and let’s remind our readers the card was pushed back a little. While we have seen plenty of reviewers and influencers with multiple RTX 5090 cards at

ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X mod pushes memory to 64GB capacity

Modder shows a 64GB RAM mod for the ASUS Xbox Ally X handheld

The mod starts with a full disassembly and motherboard removal. The modder then flips the board and pulls the factory RAM packages from under the heat spreader tape. The stock setup uses 6GB Micron LPDDR5X packages rated at 8533 MT/s , which modder replaces with 16GB SK hynix packages to reach 64GB total. So, there are no changes to the memory bus, rather the memory density.

Gamers found a way to enable XeSS 3 with Multi Frame Gen on Arc B580 and Claw gaming handhelds

Redditor’s guide shows how to enable XeSS 3 Multi Frame Gen on Intel Arc B580 and Alchemist GPUs

Turns out, enabling XeSS3 is as easy as swapping a few files.

I’m not sure why Intel decided to launch XeSS3 exclusively with Panther Lake laptops. Sure, it’s great that they support it, but the vast majority of Intel graphics users would rather see this support reaching older architecture. Something that Intel promised to fulfill, but this month.

Some gamers aren’t
