The “memory panic” is starting to mess with GPU lineups. When memory gets pricier, cards that need more VRAM chips get harder to make at a comfortable cost. PROHARDVER explains that AMD’s boxed Radeon RX 9060 XT, RX 9070, and RX 9070 XT all ship with 16GB of GDDR6. That usually means eight memory chips per card. The
MATROX turns 50 in 2026. The company was founded on January 17, 1976 in Dorval, Quebec, Canada.
Back in the 1990s, MATROX was a pick for Windows PCs that cared about clean 2D output. The Millennium line targeted fast 2D acceleration and strong signal quality, the Millennium was called “the definitive 2D accelerator.”

While working on other stories, we noticed something. The price of RTX 5090 cards is now approaching the cost of an entire gaming PC. Price aggregators still show plenty of RTX 5090 entries around the $3,000 mark. Many of those links lead nowhere. Others land on pages that are out of stock, unavailable, or limited to third-party listings with low quantities.

NVIDIA’s RTX 50 supply questions are now tied to one bottleneck: GDDR7 availability. NVIDIA has also told media that GeForce demand is strong, while memory supply is constrained , and that shipments of all GeForce SKUs continue.
During CES 2026, Gigabyte CEO Eddie Lin described a simple way NVIDIA could decide which cards get the most allocation when memory is limited. The idea is to prioritize products that generate more gross revenue per gigabyte of VRAM

With so many grim and alarming stories from Reddit, we finally have something good to report on. A Reddit user on the MacBook Pro subreddit says a 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro started showing Apple’s “battery service recommended” warning after years of daily use. The user first checked a local third-party repair shop, which reportedly quoted £200 for a
As you may recall, when Intel was dealing with Raptor Lake instability reports and Arrow Lake was close, a rumor suggested Intel might not be done with LGA-1700. Intel tends to move desktop sockets quickly. LGA-1700 only covered Alder Lake and Raptor Lake.
Raptor Lake also got a refresh with higher clocks. Arrow Lake has already moved to LGA-18
ASUS has changed course on its PCIe graphics card removal design for the AM5 X870 Neo refresh shown at CES 2026. In the new North America video, ASUS says the prior PCIe Q-Release Slim approach confused some users. Juan Jose (JJ) Guerrero says ASUS is reintroducing a physical release mechanism across the lineup, including a metal mechanism on higher-end models.

We all hate “warranty void if removed” stickers. These stickers are usually placed on the back side, where the screws are. Manufacturers use them as an easy way to see whether a card has been taken apart. However, the presence of a sticker does not automatically mean you cannot remove it.
