Memory shortage? What's that?
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.
How Much RAM Do Gamers Need? 8GB vs. 16GB vs. 32GB vs. 64GB
As modern games push memory harder, choosing the right amount of RAM matters more than ever. With DRAM pricing in flux, we revisit the big question: is 16GB still enough for gaming?
