New Nvidia GPU leaked by the most unlikely source

Asus has just unveiled a bunch of Hatsune Miku-themed goodies, including a motherboard, PC case, keyboard, mouse, and more. The lineup, made as a homage to the virtual pop sensation, looks pretty dreamy — but one thing in particular caught my eye. Asus may have just revealed one of Nvidia’s upcoming best graphics cards at least a day early.

Hatsune Miku is a vocaloid, which is a type of voice synthesizer software that lets users pick a song for Hatsune Miku to sing. Hatsune Miku has achieved worldwide fame, which is presumably why Asus decided to launch a whole lineup centered around the virtual pop star.

As spotted by VideoCardz, there’s a hidden gem among the various upcoming Hatsune Miku-themed products. Asus showcased a GPU with a Hatsune Miku shroud without specifying what GPU this is exactly, but it has previously mistakenly listed the card as an RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, so that’s how we know (despite the information not appearing in the launch video).

This version of the RTX 5060 Ti, alongside the fun shroud, has a new cooler design. It also sports a standard 8-pin connector, marking a departure from the 16-pin some may have expected.

The lineup is one of the biggest we’ve seen centered around a single character. Apart from the GPU, there’s a PC case, motherboard, keyboard, mouse, headset, and even a router. Hatsune Miku fans will be able to build a whole PC following this theme, as the motherboard and the GPU go a long way toward filling the case with matching hardware. You can then pick up some white components, such as RAM and a cooler, to stick to the theme.

It seems that the RTX 5060 Ti with the Hatsune Miku design might only be available in China, but some of the peripherals appear to be available worldwide. The RTX 5060 Ti is rumored to be announced tomorrow, so stay tuned — we’ll keep you posted.

Nvidia’s new laptop GPU is 50% slower than desktop. Is it still worth buying?

Laptop gamers, rejoice -- Nvidia's best graphics cards have finally made their way to laptops. With the ongoing rollout of laptops equipped with the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, and the RTX 5070 Ti, those of us who game on the go are faced with a tough choice: Do I upgrade now or wait for the next generation?

Unfortunately, as is often the case, there's no easy answer. To make your life easier, I've looked through reviews of laptops equipped with the RTX 5090, and I'll attempt to answer that question for you. Be warned, though, that if you're expecting big generational gains, you might not find them here.

Nvidia’s new rule could help you pick the right gaming laptop. Here’s why

Buying a laptop might seem easy, but if you want the best gaming laptop within your budget, you'll need to dig beyond surface-level information. With that said, every single spec should be readily available so that you know what you're buying, but that has not always been the case.

Fortunately, Nvidia says that it's working with its partners to make sure that one key spec is always listed: The total graphics power (TGP). Here's why it matters.
Why does TGP matter in laptops?

Prices of Nvidia’s best GPU rise by up to $500 – what it means for you
RTX 5090 vs 4090.

It seems that we're not destined to have some of the best graphics cards at reasonable prices -- at least not just yet. Now, even a manufacturer that was previously known as budget-friendly is racking up the prices in its own online store. The Nvidia partner in question is Zotac, and not only did the company raise the prices of the RTX 5090, but it also removed the card that was previously sold at MSRP.

As spotted by a Reddit user in the r/Nvidia community, the prices of Zotac's versions of the RTX 5090 went up by a whole lot. The flagship card, the Zotac RTX 5090 Amp Extreme Infinity, costs a whopping $3,000. (It should come as no surprise that it's currently sold out, though.)
