NVIDIA adds 12GB RTX 5070 laptop variant to ease memory shortages

NVIDIA is introducing a 12GB GeForce RTX 5070 for laptops, using 24Gb G7 memory to help address memory shortages. The first 12GB 5070-equipped laptops from makers like ASUS, Lenovo, and MSI are expected to ship in June. Pricing hasn’t been disclosed and could approach the cost of a 5070 Ti in some configurations. Even with more memory, the wider 192-bit bus likely won’t let the extra VRAM boost performance dramatically, so the benefit is mainly higher memory headroom rather than a large speed upgrade.

Pragmata on PC: Stunning Path Tracing Meets VRAM Realities

Pragmata on PC delivers striking path-traced visuals and solid performance across hardware, with RTX 5090 handling max settings and mid-range rigs like the RTX 4060 maintaining 50fps+ using DLSS; however, 8GB VRAM limits and occasional stutter tied to shadow caching complicate lower-end experiences, underscoring the need for VRAM guidance while confirming Capcom's PC tech showcase as a standout original AAA project.

MiSTer 3DO Core May Never Be Fully Accurate, Dev Warns

Sergiy 'srg320' Dvodnenko says the MiSTer 3DO core likely can’t reach 100% accuracy because VRAM emulation needs more internal FPGA memory and several details of the Sprite Engine (and its DMA) remain unclear; while the core isn’t resource-heavy, full fidelity may be unachievable, though future reverse-engineering of MADAM/CLIO chips could improve things and a highly playable core may still satisfy retro gamers.

RAM Shortage Threatens Nvidia’s 4K-Gaming Gateway GPU

A global RAM shortage is constraining GPU memory, with Asus reportedly ending production of the RTX 5070 Ti and Nvidia signaling a prioritization of lower-VRAM models. The 16GB RTX 5060 Ti/5070 Ti options may dwindle, while 8GB variants could dominate availability; top-tier RTX 5080/5090 are expected to be more widely available. Nvidia says demand remains strong but memory supply is constrained, a combination likely to drive higher prices and tighter GPU inventories into 2026.

Top and Worst GPUs of 2025: A Comprehensive Overview

The article criticizes several GPU releases in 2025, highlighting the poor value and performance of 8GB models like Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti and AMD's RX 9060 XT, which are seen as misguided and damaging to consumers, with Nvidia's RTX 5080 also underwhelming due to insufficient VRAM and high prices. Overall, the generation is marked by questionable product decisions and a lack of meaningful upgrades, especially in the entry-level and high-end segments.

Intel's Arc B580 GPU: A Game-Changer in the Graphics Card Market

Intel is set to launch the Arc B580, a new discrete GPU featuring the Battlemage architecture, aiming to compete with AMD and Nvidia by offering more VRAM and competitive pricing. Historically, Intel's GPUs faced driver issues, but recent improvements have made them more viable. The B580, priced at $250, could be a strong contender in the budget GPU market, especially as AMD and Nvidia have not released comparable options in this price range. Potential buyers should await reviews before deciding, but Intel's advancements suggest a promising alternative.

"AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT: A Comprehensive Review and Best Picks"

AMD's new Radeon RX 7600 XT, an upgraded version of the RX 7600 with 16 GB VRAM, offers modest performance gains over the standard model, particularly in games that benefit from the extra VRAM. However, the $60 price increase over the RX 7600 may not justify the performance improvements in all scenarios, especially when compared to other GPUs like the Radeon 6700 XT and Nvidia's RTX 4060. The 7600 XT's ray tracing performance is also underwhelming, and its value proposition is further challenged by competing options such as the Intel Arc A770. Overall, while the 16 GB VRAM is a welcome addition, the Radeon RX 7600 XT falls short of being a highly recommended product.

"AMD's Upcoming Radeon RX 7600 XT May Feature 16GB VRAM, Suggests Gigabyte Leak"

Gigabyte's EEC listing has revealed an upcoming AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT graphics card with 16 GB of VRAM, doubling the memory of the standard RX 7600. The card, expected to launch in late January, is anticipated to be priced around $300 and will likely be available only in custom variants. The RX 7600 XT could potentially feature different configurations, including a Navi 33 SKU with the same cores as the RX 7600 but with more VRAM and a Navi 32 variant with more cores and possibly a higher bus interface. The exact specifications remain speculative until AMD's official announcement.
