NVIDIA's H200 AI GPUs are finally shipping to China, as reported by U.S. officials, marking the return of the banned chip. China Softens Its Position on NVIDIA GPUs As First H200 Shipments Now Headed To Chinese AI Firms The NVIDIA Hopper story in China has been a roller coaster ride so far. When Hopper was launched, US export restrictions for the Chinese market were in full swing. These pushed NVIDIA to release an export-compliant variant called the H20 for China, which ended up being severely cut down, but still a viable option against what China's domestic chipmakers had to offer. […]

Despite NVIDIA's removal of the Hotspot temperature measurements, CPUID developers have deployed the feature to their popular hardware monitoring utility. NVIDIA Killed RTX 50 Hotspot Readings, but HWMonitor 1.65 Just Brought Them Back With Two Sensors While NVIDIA may have dropped the Hotspot temperature measurements from the Blackwell GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards, the sensors reportedly do exist. We saw how modders brought back the hotspot monitoring through modding, which revealed how some GPUs were thermal throttling despite showing normal average GPU temperatures. The GPUs, therefore, were affected by high hotspot temperatures, resulting in inferior gaming performance. The experiment […]

Building a gaming PC in 2026 has become considerably more expensive than it was only a year or so ago, and graphics cards are not solely responsible this time. The ongoing memory shortage has driven up the cost of all DRAM and NAND flash-based products, such as memory kits, SSDs, and graphics cards. For that reason, we consider approximately $1,000 to be the realistic starting point for a decent new gaming PC in July 2026. Even then, some compromises are unavoidable. Moving up to higher pricing tiers allows progressively stronger CPUs and GPUs, not to mention higher system memory and […]

AMD's latest Radeon drivers silently added Multi-Frame Generation (MFG 8x) modes along with other FSR overrides, as exposed in RadeonTuner. AMD Seems To Be Cooking FSR MFG 8x (Multi-Frame Generation) Tech, Surpassing NVIDIA's MFG 6x Mode AMD has been teasing FSR Multi-Frame Generation (MFG) support for its Radeon GPU in the latest drivers for a while. The last FSR Redstone update saw preliminary support added to the ADLX FidelityFX SDK. Although MFG is not available across any Radeon GPU yet, the listed feature will allow users to select a desired frame generation ratio for "optimal performance & visual quality". This was […]

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. NVIDIA Removed GPU Hotspot Measurement From RTX 50, Focusing On Average Temperatures, But The Latter Masks Your Thermal Throttling Problems Starting with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" generation, NVIDIA dropped GPU Hotspot measurements. According to reports from TechPowerUp and the creators of the GPU-Z tool, NVIDIA had allegedly removed the Hotspot sensor from its latest GPU, which led to incorrect readings in popular diagnostic and real-time monitoring tools such as HWMonitor, HWiNFO, […]
