MSI GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z Hands On: 40-Phase VRM and 2,500 W XOC BIOS
At the 2026 International CES show, MSI unveiled its most powerful GPU creation to date: GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z GPU. Coming as a fully custom PCB design, the board carries an GB202 GPU of the RTX 5090 with a factory boost clock of 2,730 MHz, and an "Extreme Performance" OC profile of 2,775 MHz. This results in the fastest LN2 GeForce RTX 5090 GPU ever, reaching as high as 3,742 MHz when put thought the hands of professional overclockers. Fully enabling this is the 40-phase VRM design that can provide smooth voltage curve needed to feed the GPU, with a maximum power rating of 800 W out of the box, while the "Extreme" power preset mode gives it a 1000 W power envelope on the 360 mm AIO water cooling.

NVIDIA doesn't list which games are affected, only that some titles may run slower or feel less smooth. If you've seen sudden performance dips over the past month, this hotfix may help.

In fact, they would rather add even more power if they could. Technically this is possible in two ways: through shunt modding, which tricks the card into believing it draws less power than it really does and raises the overclocking limit a bit, or by using dual power connector cards, which do exist but are very limited and mainly serve as vehicles for extreme overclocking.

Coil whine is possibly the most annoying thing to discover on a newly installed graphics card. It means a buzzing sound that appears from time to time, depending on what is running on the GPU. Sometimes the issue affects only certain games that push very high framerates. Sometimes it is worse and occurs in most scenarios. Graphics card manufacturers rarely treat this as a defect, so if you discover the problem outside the return window, you may be left with a buzzing GPU.

This concerns the INT8 (8-bit integer) version of FSR4, which was mistakenly published. AMD rushed to remove the repository containing these files, but they were available for at least a few days, all under the MIT license.

The core problem is simple and physical: low-voltage, high-current delivery forces bulky copper conductors and complex buswork into every rack, wasting space and money while creating thermal and installation headaches.

AMD FSR 4 INT8 source code leak enables modded support on Radeon RX 7000 and GeForce RTX 30
When AMD accidentally released the source code of FSR4, it included an option that modders quickly picked up and implemented where AMD had left it. This concerns the INT8 (8-bit integer) version of FSR4, which was mistakenly published. AMD rushed to remove the repository containing these files, but they were available for at least a few days, all under the MIT license. Some argue that since the release was accidental, the license might not apply, but the files were left online for days, so go figure.

AMD FSR 4 Unofficially Enabled on Older Radeon GPUs via Leaked INT8 DLL
AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) has been unofficially enabled on older graphics cards through a manually compiled DLL. Originally, FSR 4 was only confirmed to work with AMD's latest RDNA 4 Radeon RX 9000 series. However, a Reddit user compiled a leaked INT8 computing library into a usable FSR 4 DLL, making it possible to run the technology on older AMD GPUs and even some NVIDIA RTX 30 series cards via the Optiscaler tool. This workaround effectively replaces FSR 3.1 with FSR 4, allowing broader hardware compatibility.

Why Is VRAM So Important In GPUs When You Play At 1440p Or 4K?
Video Random-Access Memory (VRAM), is a vital component of your graphics card (GPU), designed to hold graphical data. Rather than transferring the information from elsewhere, the GPU can grab directly from its onboard video memory for quicker processing. When booting up a game, textures, assets, shaders, and buffers temporarily get stored in the VRAM. Now, those lush virtual environments and effects won't slow down or negatively impact gameplay. However, you may have noticed newer games are demanding more VRAM.

Anthropic AI Company Claims NVIDIA Chips Smuggled in Lobsters
NVIDIA found itself at the center of an unusual controversy involving accusations that its AI chips were being smuggled into China inside live lobsters. This claim was made by Anthropic, an AI startup supported by Amazon.

Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 Leaks: Have A Detailed Look at the NITRO+ Model
Tech gurus have been looking closely at the new Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 NITRO+ card, and there's some interesting news. One key update is the hidden power connector system, which seems to combine all the power into a single plug—probably a 12-pin or 16-pin type. This tweak is meant to simplify how the card gets its power and could help keep it cooler during heavy use. Even though the full specs aren't out yet, these changes match what we're seeing in modern graphics cards.
