A recent ECC filing from MSI suggests that Nvidia’s upcoming GeForce RTX 4070 could have 12GB of video memory. The company shared the names of several RTX 4070 video cards with the ECC, and all cards feature 12GB capacities. If true, this will make the 4070 a prime candidate for our list of best graphics…
Pity the poor souls of the Nvidia RTX 3080 Tis lost to its latest menace. No, I’m not talking about cryptomining, I’m talking about Lilith, Lord of Hatred, the antagonist of the new Diablo IV Beta, one that is apparently wreaking havoc on the beleagued graphics card.

Asus teamed up with Noctua, yet again, to bring a special brown-and-tan-themed version of the RTX 4080 to market. The 4080 already competes with the best graphics cards, albeit at a high price. We have a sample of the Noctua card in hand and will be reviewing it shortly, though we don’t expect a massive…
Reputable hardware leaker @KittyYYuko has published pictures of an alleged Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4060 Founders Edition graphics card. The Ada Lovelace-based add-in-board uses a cooling system akin to that used by other Founders Edition products, so while it may be rather quiet, it is not small enough to fit into a compact desktop. The alleged GeForce RTX 4060 Founders…
