Gouged The poster child for the great 5070 Ti Blackwell GPU screwjob.
The price gouging of Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti is utterly grotesque
Heels Every manufacturer is sniffing an opportunity to squeeze an extra chunk of cash out of PC gamers desperate for a scarce new card. And it sucks.
Monster Hunter Wilds PC performance: From Nvidia's latest, past AMD's greatest, to Intel's failing silicon, this is what the game does to PCG's own rigs
We put our own machines through the ringer with the Monster Hunter Wilds benchmark, to lesser or greater success.
The unwelcome workaround for Nvidia's RTX 50-series black screen issues is to hobble your gaming monitor with a 60 Hz refresh rate
News It's a temporary fix, but I don't like it one bit.
There is one thing making me excited about the new Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti and no, it isn't Multi Frame Generation
Push it If the GPU at the heart of the RTX 5070 Ti can deliver the same level of overclocking it does with the RTX 5080 we could have a champ on our hands.
I'm genuinely stunned by the overclocking performance of the RTX 5080, and curious as to why Nvidia left so much headroom
OC hero Maybe I won the silicon lottery, but the GB203 sure looks like there was a lot of performance left on the table.

Turns out there's 'a big supercomputer at Nvidia… running 24/7, 365 days a year improving DLSS. And it's been doing that for six years'
news It's all part of the process.
Here's how the new RTX 50-series cards perform against the previous generation of GeForce GPUs
Gen or render? And here's also why we're not getting the same sort of big frame rate bump we got out of the RTX 40-series: hardware is hard.
I'll say it: The best thing I saw from Nvidia at CES wasn't its sweet new GPUs, but some tasty AI every RTX gamer can enjoy
FPS in disguise The new transformer model for DLSS could be... er... kinda transformative.
Jen-Hsun reckons Nvidia has driven the 'cost of computing down by 1,000,000 times'
