Nvidia’s insanely powerful RTX 5090 is right around the corner. Priced at $2,000, the GPU is far from cheap — but Nvidia is hosting a sweepstakes where you can try your luck at winning one. Here’s how to participate and attempt to win Nvidia’s best graphics card.

Nvidia has already been giving away some GPUs, as well as a whole custom PC, in the lead-up to the launch of the RTX 50-series. Now that the cards are no longer a secret, the sweepstakes have moved on from the classic GeForce 256 to the GeForce RTX 5090, which is bound to be a beastly card (although perhaps not as beastly as the benchmarks would have you believe).

The company shared a post on X (Twitter) detailing how to win the RTX 5090. It’s all very simple: You just have to like this post and leave a comment underneath it using the hashtag GeForceRTX50.

According to Nvidia, every card that’s featured in its posts marks a chance for you to win. It’s unclear how long the sweepstakes will go on for, as the terms and conditions page appears to be broken right now.

The hype surrounding Nvidia’s CES 2025 keynote is definitely real. Nvidia announced the RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, and the RTX 5070, and all of these GPUs are set to arrive soon. The first two are launching this month, on January 30, and the other two are coming sometime in February. However, if you try your luck, who knows — you might get yourself an RTX 5090 early (and save $2,000 in the process).

Nvidia hinted that there’d be more ways to win, so perhaps there’ll be more than one RTX 5090 up for grabs. Your best bet is to follow Nvidia’s socials and join in whenever something is happening.

Amazon and Walmart’s AI can spot fake ‘Made in USA’ labels but won’t tell you, says study

The same chatbot that happily discusses "Made in China" claims stays silent on "Made in USA" ones.

When you ask an AI shopping assistant to help you find products, you probably expect it to point out misleading listings too. According to a new study, both Amazon and Walmart's AI tools can detect fake "Made in USA" claims. However, the study claims that retailers are not using those capabilities to flag or remove the misleading listings, even when the AI recognizes conflicting information on the same product page.

How did the researchers catch this fraud?

Samsung lays out grim pricing prophecy for mobile and PC gear

Memory shortage could get worse in 2027 and last through 2028

Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Samsung warned in April that the memory shortage could get worse in 2027. Three months later, the company’s outlook has become even more troubling for anyone planning to buy a new phone, laptop, gaming PC, or another device packed with memory and storage.

During its Q2 2026 earnings call, Samsung said demand is still running far ahead of supply and that orders it cannot fulfil this year are likely to spill into the next. The company now expects the shortage to persist through 2028, extending its earlier warning by another year.

Lenovo leak shows upcoming IdeaCentre desktop that isn’t afraid to ape the iMac

Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Windows all-in-one desktops have never really been known for turning heads. They've traditionally been practical machines that blend into an office, while Apple's iMac has spent years proving that a desktop can double as a piece of home decor. That might finally be changing.

Newly leaked images obtained by Windows Latest suggest Lenovo is preparing a redesigned IdeaCentre all-in-one that ditches the usual sea of black and silver in favor of several colorful finishes. While Lenovo hasn't officially announced the machine yet, the images paint a picture of a desktop that seems perfectly happy borrowing a page from Apple's playbook — and, surprisingly, it doesn't feel like a bad thing. The leak also hints that Lenovo could be keeping some of the IdeaCentre's most practical features from the current generation.
