Historically, Nvidia’s graphics cards, particularly from the popular RTX 30-series, have commanded a much larger market share compared to AMD’s Radeon range. Curiously, even with GPU prices now approaching or dropping below the suggested retail prices, coupled with the fact that Team Green cards are generally more expensive than Team Red’s boards in certain segments, it seems the aforementioned state of affairs has remained unchanged.

According to Newegg's Best Sellers list, Nvidia has begun dominating graphics card sales across the board since prices began to stabilize a month ago. Newegg's Best Sellers list consists entirely of RTX 30 series products -- with the only exception being an occasional RTX 2060 listing piled into the mix. Radeon cards, both new or old, are nowhere to be seen.The market situation at Newegg is quite strange, to say the least. GPUs from both AMD and Nvidia have been dropping in price steadily, and AMD even has a distinct…

Valve has published its latest Steam user survey data, covering April of 2022. Picking through the data, there are a few interesting observations. First of all, we see that the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, RX 6600 XT, and RX 6600 have entered the chart for the first time. Elsewhere, quad-core CPUs have regained the lead they lost to hexa-cores in the previous month (but we are sure the trend is against them). Lastly, nearly 40% of Steam Gamers on Mac are now using computers featuring Apple Silicon processors.Graphics Card…

Reported Stream Processor configurations of RDNA 3 have been shared online by popular hardware leaker @Greymon55 on Twitter. Big grains of salt, as these are super light on details, but his "reports" indicate that RDNA 3 will feature a substantial core count buff over current RDNA 2 graphics cards, with shader counts more than doubling compared to RDNA 2 and Radeon RX 6000 series cards.According to Greymon55 — and correspondingly @Redfire75369 who interpreted Greymon's post — AMD's largest Navi 31 die will feature a…

Nvidia and AMD are each set to release next-gen graphics cards this year, and according to the latest leaks, we could witness quite a performance war between the two giants. New rumors imply that Nvidia’s next flagship, the RTX 4090, could be a powerful GPU with 100 teraflops. However, the news for AMD’s flagship Navi 31 graphics card is not quite as good. 100t for ada — Greymon55 (@greymon55) April 30, 2022 This latest batch of Nvidia RTX 4000 and AMD RDNA 3 information comes from numerous Twitter…

Nvidia has a new BFGPU: The RTX 3090 Ti. It’s a halo product that can even outclass the RTX 3090, at least from the spec sheet. We threw the RTX 3090 and RTX 3090 Ti into the ring to see if the new model offers real performance improvements or if it’s just an exercise in vanity. The new model is impractical by all accounts: It’s massively expensive, power-hungry, and large, but our RTX 3090 Ti review shows that it’s the top dog, even if it’s only by a thin margin. And given GPU prices right now, the RTX 3090 Ti may…

According to new leaks, Intel Arc Alchemist for desktops may arrive with at least seven models of graphics cards, but it’s possible that there could be more. Intel is also rumored to be working on a limited-edition GPU that would take the crown of the lineup. In times of the ongoing GPU shortage, this is great news for less-demanding PC users — provided that the availability is better than the laptop version. The latest information comes from Komachi_Ensaka on Twitter, who is a known source in the PC hardware space.…

With availability for GPUs reaching pre-shortage level, prices for graphics cards continue to normalize as well. One board that was subjected to considerable price increases over the past two years, Nvidia’s RTX 3060, can now be bought for a cost that’s slightly above its manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP). As spotted by Tom’s Hardware, EVGA, one of Team Green’s board partners, has listed the GeForce RTX 3060 XC Black Gaming model for $370. That price point is actually below the MSRP for this individual…

Dell on Tuesday launched the Alienware x15 R2 and Alienware x17 R2 gaming laptops in India. Both new models were unveiled at CES 2022 in Barcelona, Spain, as the improved versions of the existing Alienware x15 and Alienware x17. They are said to be the company's thinnest 15-inch and 17-inch gaming laptops respectively. The new Alienware laptops come with 12th-generation (Alder Lake) Intel Core processors, along with Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs to deliver performance advancements over the previous models. In the…

After years of teasers and buildup, Intel has finally launched its first discrete Intel Arc GPUs. Two A-series models, the Arc A350M and Arc A370M will soon be available in thin-and-light laptops, with pre-orders for models from multiple top manufacturers including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Samsung beginning as early as today. More powerful Arc 5 and Arc 7 GPU models for higher-end gaming laptops will follow these Arc 3 GPUs later this year. Details of upcoming desktop GPUs will also be announced later in…
