Hot on the heels of rumored specs of the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], rumored specs of the RTX 5080 SUPER emerged on VideoCardz. Apparently, NVIDIA will not tap into the larger "GB202" silicon to build the RTX 5080 SUPER despite maxing out the "GB203" silicon to build the current RTX 5080. It will take a slightly different approach, by giving the card additional memory and power limits. 24 Gbit GDDR7 memory chips are a distinct feature of RTX 50-series SUPER graphics cards, and much like the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, the RTX 5080 SUPER will feature 24 GB of GDDR7 memory across a 256-bit wide memory bus.

NVIDIA could possibly use 30 Gbps memory speeds for this SKU to end up with at least the same kind of bandwidth as the regular RTX 5080, which is 960 GB/s. The other interesting aspect of the RTX 5080 SUPER is expected to be its increased TGP (total graphics power) value of 415 W, a 15% increase over the 360 W TGP of the RTX 5080. This increase in TGP will not just support the higher density memory chips, but also allow NVIDIA to increase GPU clock speeds. This will be needed, given that NVIDIA has no headroom to increase shader counts on "GB203," and will need something to increase performance for games without heavy memory demands.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

NVIDIA has officially released its DLSS Transformer model as part of [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], combining advanced upscaling with a substantial reduction in video memory requirements. This update directly addresses the needs of gamers running on 8 GB or lower graphics cards by trimming VRAM usage by 20%. Unlike previous DLSS versions that relied on convolutional neural networks to infer missing pixels, the Transformer approach evaluates the relationships among all pixels in a frame and applies that understanding across multiple frames. Despite the increased sophistication of this method, NVIDIA's engineers have refined their memory management routines to maintain lean resource demands and deliver sharper, more consistent visuals.

Tested at regular resolutions, the improvements are striking: running DLSS at 1080p now consumes just 87.8 MB of VRAM, down from 106.9 MB in the prior SDK release, while similar reductions of around 20% apply at 1440p, 4K and even 8K. For those using GPUs with limited memory, these savings translate into smoother performance and the ability to enable richer graphics features without compromising image quality. Game developers and engine partners can expect to integrate the DLSS Transformer model into their titles and tools over the coming months, with early tests already highlighting crisper edges, more stable frame rates and consistently high upscaling performance.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

We have already covered that NVIDIA is planning a SUPER refresh of its GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs, with the most recent leak revealing the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], which is expected to feature a slight increase in CUDA core count and 18 GB of memory. However, NVIDIA is also overhauling its RTX 5070 Ti with the SUPER treatment, now enabling the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER to feature as much as 24 GB of GDDR7 memory with no change in CUDA core count. According to kopite7kimi, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER will feature the same 8,960 CUDA core configuration as the GB203-350-A1 SKU, based on the PG147-SKU55 PCB. The only difference here is the VRAM surplus resulting from an additional 8 GB of GDDR7, which totals 24 GB capacity, compared to the 16 GB now on the regular RTX 5070 Ti SKU.

This also changes the TBP of the card, where the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER GPU is now rumored to feature a 350 W TBP, an upgrade from the non-SUPER's RTX 5070 Ti, which has a 300 W power rating. Perhaps the extra power is dedicated now not only to more VRAM (which is also a power consumer) but to higher clock speeds, too. It wouldn't be sufficient to call it a SUPER variant without some raw compute increase, so NVIDIA might be selecting better die bins for the SUPER SKU to enable higher default clock speeds at only a 50 W TBP increase. Nonetheless, we expect to hear more details in the coming weeks, especially since the wave of rumors has started to flood social media and leaks are becoming more frequent.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

NVIDIA will tap into 24 Gbit (3 GB) GDDR7 memory chips and increase memory sizes across the board for its RTX 50-series SUPER line of GPUs slated for later this year, if leaked specs of the upcoming GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER are anything to go by. Kopite7kimi, a reliable source with NVIDIA leaks, says that the RTX 5070 SUPER will feature 18 GB of memory—that's six 24 Gbit memory chips across a 192-bit wide GDDR7 memory bus. The card has a SKU designation of "PG147-SKU65" and ASIC code of "GB205-400-A1."

Besides 18 GB of memory, the RTX 5070 SUPER reportedly maxes out the "GB205" silicon it's based on, enabling all 50 SM present. The current RTX 5070 has 48 out of 50 SM enabled for 6,144 CUDA cores, whereas the RTX 5070 SUPER, with its 50 SM, should have 6,400 CUDA cores. The marginal increase in shader count will be bolstered by the 50% increase in memory size, and possible increases in GPU boost speeds. The memory bandwidth, however, remains unchanged. It ticks at the same 28 Gbps as on the RTX 5070, which yields 672 GB/s. The TGP will be increased to 275 W, from 250 W.[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Thockfactory was a service that let users design and order custom keycap sets for mechanical keyboards, originally starting out as an enthusiast project in 2023. Despite officially launching in 2024, the service was shut down shortly after launch due to keycap quality issues and UI frustrations. Now, after examining user feedback, taking time to locate a new keycap supplier, and redesigning the online keycap configurator, [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] has been launched with a slew of upgrades and a laundry list of plans for the future of the business, according to the founder's Reddit post detailing the relaunch.

Thockfactory keycaps are all dye-sublimated PBT, meaning they won't offer shine-through capability, but they should last a good long while, thanks to the material's oil resistance. At the time of writing, Thockfactory only offers keycaps in Cherry profile, although uniform height and low-profile keycaps are planned for the future, with DSA and XDA profiles specifically mentioned as likely incoming additions. The configurator also offers pretty wide compatibility with a number of standard and not-so-standard layouts, including 100%, TKL, Alice, and 65%, which is always a hit with FPS gamers. In addition to the usual suspects, Thockfactory also offers support for stranger layouts, like [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], a number of ortholinear layouts, and FRL (F-row-less) options. The configurator also allows you to switch between ISO and ANSI, and there are a number of regional and language variants on offer. According to a Reddit comment by the company's founder, the keycaps are being manufactured by a trustworthy OEM that has a solid track record in the custom keycap space. According to the founder, the main draw of Thockfactory is that it offers more color options and greater flexibility than competitors.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

NuPhy's latest low-profile mechanical keyboard, the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], promising a slew of upgrades over its predecessors, including redesigned switches, a noise-isolating gasket mount, and a new removable, customizable knob. In general, the promised design updates seem to have been received positively by the community, but NuPhy's decision to sell the Air75 V3 with only the tall version of the knob—which sticks up over the low-profile keycaps—and sell the low-profile knob separately in a bundle with the NuFolio case. According to an announcement on NuPhy's official X account, all pre-orders of the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] will include both the low-profile and full-height knobs.

NuPhy also clarified that the knob color will match the keyboard color. The main knob stems remain red, but the knob module's background color and the color of the translucent ring around the low-profile knobs will change depending on the keyboard color—the Nova White Air75 V3 has a clear plastic ring around the red stalk, while the Nebula Dark colorway comes with a smokey translucent plastic ring. Critically, it's unclear whether this only applies to the Air75 V3 pre-orders or if NuPhy will include both versions of the knob in the final in-stock version of the keyboard. A recent [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] claimed to present an email from NuPhy's customer service that also said the low-profile knob would be included with the Air75 V3 from the start, but there was no distinction made between the pre-order and the in-stock keyboard here, so it may be the case that the low-profile knob will be included after all.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Gearbox Entertainment CEO, Randy Pitchford, seems unable to keep his foot out of his mouth when it comes to the [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. A recent comment regarding the possibility of an $80 launch price already landed him in hot water with the gaming community, although that was resolved shortly after that when the launch price for the new looter shooter was revealed. Now, however, Pitchford has taken to X once more to comment about the pricing of Borderlands 4, this time potentially raining on the parade of patient gamers who are generally happy to wait out the launch hype in search of a better deal. However, despite Pitchford's proclamation, Borderlands 3 was available for significantly less than the launch price as little as a year after release.

In [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], Pitchford called out a current Steam Summer Sale deal on Borderlands 3, saying that it took "over 5 years" to get similar discounts and for the game to reach subscription services, and that it will take even longer for Borderlands 4. "And to set expectations, it will be even longer before this kind of thing happens in the next cycle with Borderlands 4," obviously, it's unclear how the community will react to Borderlands 4, but Borderlands 3 launched in 2019 and was already 50% off by May 2020, according to [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]. The price dropped by another 25%, for a total discount of 75%, in November 2021, and it was given away as a free game on the Epic Games Store in May 2022.[Only registered and activated users can see links.

Looking to challenge AMD's gaming CPU supremacy, Intel is reportedly developing Nova Lake processors with enhanced cache technology that could rival the popular 3D V-Cache found in X3D chips. According to leaker @Haze2K1, Intel plans to add "bLLC" (big Last Line Cache) to at least two [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] models. This improved L3 cache is similar to AMD's 3D V-Cache, which has made X3D chips the top pick for enthusiast gamers since 2022. The new processors with bLLC will have 8 P-cores and 4 LP-E-Cores. One version will include 20 E-cores, while another will have 12 E-cores. Both are expected to keep a 125 W TDP rating.

Intel's bLLC technology already exists in Clearwater Forest server processors where local cache integrates into the base tile positioned beneath active tiles. This structural approach mirrors AMD's current [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] design, where V-Cache attaches to the bottom of CPU dies—a significant improvement over earlier generations that placed cache on top, causing thermal issues and clock speed limitations. Yet, Intel said no to consumer plans for a technology similar to AMD's 3D V-Cache. In November 2024, Intel's Tech Communications Manager Florian Maislinger told YouTubers der8auer and Bens Hardware that they didn't plan such a desktop version. The Nova Lake-S family is set to hit the market in late 2026 or early 2027, with at least six desktop models using new LGA 1954 packaging. [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] will start from the top-end Core Ultra 9 485K with 52 cores and 150 W TDP and go down to the basic Core Ultra 3 415K offering 12 cores at 125 W TDP.[Only registered and activated users can see links.
