Acer has released a new version of its flagship BiFrost Predator cards based on RDNA34 GPUs.
We haven’t seen many Predator RX 9070 cards in gamer builds or Reddit discussions, so these models may not be particularly popular. However, they represent Acer’s flagship offering—a company still relatively new to the GPU market, having only entered the high-end segment a few years ago.
For this generation, AMD does not offer an enthusiast-class GPU,
We return to the topic of the upcoming October 9 embargo, teased by a leaked slide from Intel Tech Tour 2025. This week, Intel has invited tech press and analysts to present its latest consumer and data-center products currently in development. The company has already confirmed that the event will include a presentation on its next client CPU architecture, codenamed Panther Lake.
Unfortunately, it seems that the scope of this disclosure is smaller than expected.
Thermal Grizzly has announced two new thermal pads aimed at enthusiasts and modders: Minus Pad extreme 2 and Minus Pad High Compression.
If your graphics card is a need for new thermal pads, perhaps Thermal Grizzly’s premium pad series, which was just updated, might be something worth to consider.
The Minus Pad extreme 2 is the successor to the company’s well-known Minus Pad extreme. It uses a new material mix of aluminum oxide, hydroxide, and powder to improve thermal
Maxsun has released two new GeForce RTX 5070 graphics cards under its iCraft X2 lineup: the RTX 5070 iCraft OC12G Aiga X2 T0 and the RTX 5070 iCraftX2 OC12G T0. Both models feature identical specifications, offering a compact dual-fan cooling solution with a length of 247 mm.
Intel has released version 1.24 of its NPU Linux driver, which works with the upstream IVPU kernel driver. The update includes new firmware, a refreshed compiler, an updated Level Zero (v1.24.2), and other routine changes. The driver is validated for Core Ultra systems based on Meteor Lake, Arrow Lake, and Lunar Lake processors.
One interesting detail in this release is new support for Android . This could tie into Google’s upcoming
We are starting to see the first comparisons of external GPU solutions based on the new Thunderbolt 5 standard.
The Try Some Tech channel recently reviewed one such device, the Peladn Link S-3. For those unfamiliar, Peladn is not a newcomer to the GPU business. The company was once known as “Pradeon” and was often the subject of jokes, but after a rebrand it has released new graphics cards and is now entering
We return to the topic of GeForce RTX graphics card modifications that enable higher memory capacities. These are not official models, nor are they produced by legitimate manufacturers. Their purpose is to unlock additional memory on gaming graphics cards for uses unrelated to gaming. The expanded memory capacity allows Chinese ‘startups’ and AI farms to use cheaper RTX cards for AI training. Such cards are produced in large quantities and have already affected models like the RTX 3090
AMD and NVIDIA should take a note.
The September Steam Hardware Survey shows slow shifts in the gaming PC market. The GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU remains the most popular card, climbing to nearly 4.9% share. NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series is also gaining momentum, with the RTX 5070 and 5060 models rising in the charts.
One of the more interesting trends is the decline of 8 GB GPU popularity. Despite
ASUS ROG laptops were recently in the spotlight due to long-reported stability issues . Perhaps if it wasn’t for a community thread and a detailed analysis from one customer, ASUS would not have acknowledged the problem and released a first fix within two weeks.
Meanwhile, ASUS Germany has announced a new warranty extension program. This timing rings a bell, since just yesterday ASRock revealed a similar warranty extension for Intel and AMD
