Nvidia is reportedly cutting RTX 50-series production to focus on AI demand
RTX 5090, 5070 Ti, and 5060 shortages could last through most of 2026
AMD adds one-click AI tool installer to its Adrenalin GPU drivers
AMD's latest Adrenalin Edition drivers introduce an optional AI Bundle that enables one-click installation of local AI tools such as PyTorch on Windows, ComfyUI, and Ollama. The bundle aims to simplify AI workflows on supported Radeon and Ryzen AI chips while reducing setup time and cloud dependence.
Nvidia RTX 5080 Amazon scam sees RTX 5060 Ti passed off as the $1,400 card

The memory shortage is driving up prices for SSDs, GPUs, and hard drives – even phone makers are cutting projections
Building or upgrading a PC is getting a lot more expensive
The RTX 5070 Ti is effectively dead, and the GPU market is worse for it
This problem goes beyond a single GPU
A hot potato: The RTX 5070 Ti is end of life, the RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is almost done as well, and things are looking pretty bleak across the graphics card market. Since returning from CES, we've had a few chats with board manufacturers and retailers to gauge the GPU situation, and here's what we've found out.
The US formalizes 25% tariff on Nvidia H200 and AMD MI325X chips shipped to China

Winners & losers: The absence of new GeForce RTX graphics cards at CES is an unusual break from tradition, fueling speculation that memory shortages driven by AI demand are disrupting Nvidia's usual launch cadence (well, that and an obvious shift in priorities). As the company rolls out its next architecture, a prominent leaker says consumers could be facing one of the longest generation gaps in the history of GeForce.
Nvidia DLSS 4.5 improved visuals come at a 20%+ performance cost on RTX 30 and RTX 20 GPUs
Even RTX 4000 and RTX 5000 cards lose performance versus DLSS 4
The takeaway: One of the many announcements Nvidia made at CES this week was the arrival of DLSS 4.5. The latest version of the upscaling tech can be enabled ahead of its official launch, which many users have done. The good news is that you can expect a higher level of graphical fidelity, as Nvidia promised. The less welcome part is that it comes with a performance hit compared to its predecessor, one that rises to over 20% when using a previous-gen RTX 3000 or RTX 2000 GPU.

Nvidia unveils Vera Rubin early, signaling a faster AI hardware cycle
The six-chip Vera Rubin system claims up to 5× training compute and a 10× reduction in inference costs.
Looking ahead: Nvidia kicked off the year with an unusual move: unveiling its next-generation AI computing architecture months ahead of schedule. At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, CEO Jensen Huang used his keynote to introduce the company's Vera Rubin server systems – a clear signal that Nvidia intends to press its advantage as demand for ever-larger AI models accelerates.
Nvidia confirms no RTX 5000 Super series at CES, but gaming announcements are coming
DLSS 4.5 is expected to be featured heavily
What just happened? In an announcement that comes as a surprise to absolutely no one, Nvidia has confirmed that there will be no new GPUs announced at CES. While this will disappoint anyone who optimistically thought we'd see the RTX 5000 Super series this week, the company did say that there will be several gaming-related announcements.
