Newly leaked photos reveal standard GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards—meant for gamers—being diverted in bulk to AI server assembly lines, fueling massive price hikes and echoing the GPU shortages of the crypto mining boom.

Desktop graphics card shipments soared to 12.5 million units in Q2 2026—the highest since early 2022—defying months of rising GPU prices and a severe memory crisis, as gamers rush to buy before costs climb even higher, according to Jon Peddie Research.

Linus Media Group's ShortCircuit channel accidentally broke Valve's embargo by publishing an early hands-on video of the upcoming Steam Frame VR headset, revealing new details about its accessories, controller batteries, and setup—though the final price remains unconfirmed.

Cooler Master’s innovative GPU Shield adapter, now available in the US for $49.99, not only monitors and warns users of dangerous current anomalies in 12V-2×6 GPU power cables but also actively reduces current to prevent connector meltdowns, featuring dual-color tips for easy installation and a compact 200 mm cable design.

A Chinese OEM is selling a modified GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card with a staggering 96 GB of memory for just $3,888—offering AI developers a budget-friendly alternative to NVIDIA’s $16,000 workstation cards, but with potential risks around firmware stability and lack of official support.

GeForce RTX 5090 prices in Germany have soared past €5,000—up 73% since January—amid a global memory shortage and surging AI demand, leaving consumers facing record-high costs with no relief in sight.

A new mod has enabled NVIDIA's official DLSS Frame Generation on GeForce RTX 20-series GPUs—hardware previously unsupported by the company—allowing features like in-game Frame Generation toggles in titles such as The Witcher 3, though early user reports highlight mixed performance and compatibility results.

A Redditor has demonstrated that undervolting an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 can cut GPU power draw by up to 47 W during DLSS 5 gaming sessions—without sacrificing frame rates or image quality—offering a promising solution to the ongoing 12V-2×6 connector melting issues.

Brazilian modders at TecLab have successfully run an RTX 5090 using three standard 8-pin PCIe connectors instead of the problematic 16-pin design, demonstrating stable high-power performance and suggesting that NVIDIA’s melting connector issue is more about connector choice than power demands.

A new mod has enabled NVIDIA's official DLSS Frame Generation on RTX 20-series GPUs like the RTX 2060, unlocking a feature previously limited to newer cards, though early tests show mixed performance and compatibility results.
