How to watch Nvidia’s Computex 2022 keynote

Nvidia just wrapped its Computex 2022 keynote, which was packed with announcements about the company’s enterprise business. Although the presentation was light on next-gen GPU news, Nvidia still shared some announcements related to liquid-cooled GPUs in the data center and the processors that could power next-gen cloud gaming.

The keynote happened late Monday night in the U.S., lining up with the morning in Taiwan,where Computex takes place. To get you up to speed, we have a replay of the keynote here, as well as all of Nvidia’s announcements.

Nvidia’s keynote came just half a day after AMD kicked off Computex with its executive keynote (where it officially revealed Ryzen 7000 CPUs). Intel skipped this year’s show, where we expected to hear about Arc Alchemist GPUs.

Although we hoped to hear about next-gen RTX 40-series graphics cards, Nvidia focused on its data center GPUs and Grace CPU during its Computex 2022 keynote. It appears we’ll have to wait on next-gen GPU announcements until the fall, when Nvidia has been long-rumored to launch its next-gen GPUs.

We still got some GPU news, though. Nvidia launched liquid-cooled versions of its A100 and H100 data center GPUs in an attempt to reduce energy consumption in mainstream servers. These GPUs will be available as add-in PCIe cards, as well as in Nvidia’s HGX server racks. The A100 is arriving in the second half of the year, while Nvidia expects the H100 in early 2023.

Nvidia says the new GPUs can cut power consumption by 30% in the data center, as well as free up 66% of the space a normal GPU would take up. The cooler uses a direct-to-chip connection, which Nvidia says provides the best cooling potential possible. Liquid cooling is common in supercomputers, but this is the first time we’re seeing it on mainstream servers.

Nvidia also revealed reference designs for its Grace and Grace Hopper processors. These chips are built to handle massive AI workloads, as well as power the next generation of cloud gaming technology. Nvidia announced the Grace Hopper chip, its first-ever dual CPU/GPU chip, at GTC earlier this year.

Nvidia says dozens of models will be available from Asus, Gigabyte, and Supermicro, among others, and they’ll arrive in the first half of 2023. Hopefully by the end of next year, we’ll start to see what these chips can do with platforms like GeForce Now.

Computex wasn’t the most exciting show for PC enthusiasts this year, as Intel skipped it and Nvidia focused mostly on its enterprise business. The show brought news of AMD’s upcoming AM5 platform, though, including the new X670 chipset.

Great, now GPUs are cracking

Nvidia's RTX 4090 is the best graphics card out there, no questions asked -- but is it the most reliable? Various reports tell us that it might not be, and today's news is on a larger scale. A repair guru received a whopping 19 broken RTX 4090s, most of them with cracked PCBs. What's the cause behind this issue, and should you be worried about this happening to other GPUs?

The grim report comes from YouTuber and repair professional NorthridgeFix. A customer sent in 19 RTX 4090 graphics cards in need of repair, and after inspecting each one, NorthridgeFix deemed most of them as impractical to repair -- all due to their cracked PCBs.

Nvidia’s GPU lineup is about to get completely reshuffled

Nvidia's RTX 40-series refresh seems to be right around the corner, and the rumor mill is buzzing with new updates on what we can expect. Today, we heard more about what might happen to some of Nvidia's current best graphics cards when their newer counterparts are released. It seems that Nvidia may be sticking to the one GPU that's actually a good value and replacing the two that are not.

According to Board Channels, a website that frequently posts leaks about upcoming PC hardware releases, Nvidia has big plans for all three Super cards. The RTX 4080 Super and the RTX 4070 Ti Super are rumored to replace the existing RTX 4080 and the RTX 4070 Ti. However, the RTX 4070 is said to be sticking around, and it'll be joined by the RTX 4070 Super as an alternative instead of a replacement.

Is Nvidia really about to add to its lineup of top GPUs? All signs point to yes, and now, we have an official Nvidia keynote on the horizon that tells us when we might hear more about the rumored RTX 40 Super. Nvidia revealed that it's going to deliver a special address on January 8 as part of CES 2024. Although the company hasn't confirmed what it's planning to cover, the rumor mill has been buzzing with information about three new desktop GPUs. But will they really be worth the upgrade?

Several reputable leakers have weighed in on the matter of the RTX 40-series refresh, and we've been getting updates about the range for a few weeks now. Nvidia doesn't need to specifically state that it'll talk about these graphics cards, as that is going to be the expectation anyway. The three GPUs in question are the RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4070 Ti Super, and the RTX 4070 Super.
