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.

New AMD laptop GPUs have leaked, and Nvidia might be in trouble

AMD has recently launched some of its best graphics cards for desktops, what with the arrival of the RX 9070 XT and the non-XT model -- but laptop gamers haven't had anything to look forward to. That might be about to change, as a new leak tells us that AMD is preparing a whopping six laptop GPUs, and that list includes an unexpected model.

The scoop comes from All The Watts on X (Twitter), who -- in their usual manner -- shared a rather cryptic message containing GPU specs. Each model is followed by an "M," indicating that this is the RX 9000 series for laptops, and it's actually bigger than the desktop lineup is so far. What's more, it's actually larger than the desktop lineup might ever be, seeing as that one is only supposed to get three new GPUs at some point.

Nvidia releases quick fix for incorrect GPU temperature readings

Nvidia’s recently released GeForce Game Ready Driver 576.02 for the RTX 5060 Ti has been causing issues for users, with a bug affecting GPU temperature monitoring across a range of graphics cards. After installing the update, many users reported on Reddit and various forums that their GPU temperature readings became frozen or static, remaining stuck at a single value regardless of actual thermal conditions.

The issue can potentially prevent proper fan speed adjustments which can then lead to overheating, as the system relies on real-time temperature data to regulate cooling.

If you own one of Nvidia's best graphics cards, the latest driver update might be an interesting one for you.

The first reports of these driver improvements showed up on Reddit and were then picked up by publications like VideoCardz. Some users have found that they saw performance gains in synthetic benchmarks, ranging from 3% to 8%.
