AMD Takes RX 9070 GRE Global at $549, and the 1440p Gap Finally Has a Fighter
AMD is bringing the formerly China-only Radeon RX 9070 GRE worldwide for $549, using a cut-down Navi 48 die with 48 RDNA 4 compute units and 12GB of GDDR6. It is not the fastest RX 9000 card, but it may be the most strategically placed one in a market where RTX 5070 and RX 9070 pricing has drifted upward.
NVIDIA RTX 5060 Review Debacle: 8GB, $299, and the Benchmarks They Tried to Bury
NVIDIA launched the RTX 5060 at $299 without seeding review units or pre-release drivers to major outlets — and after GamersNexus bought one at Computex anyway, it's clear why: it barely outpaces the RTX 4060 and trades blows with a GPU from 2020.
NVIDIA RTX 5050 Is Getting a GDDR7 Upgrade for Computex — 9GB, Tighter Bus, Same Die
NVIDIA is silently refreshing the RTX 5050 with 9GB of GDDR7 ahead of a Computex 2026 launch — same GB206 die, same 130W TDP, but a narrower 96-bit bus. The reason has nothing to do with performance: GDDR6 supply is drying up.
NVIDIA Slashes GPU Supply by 20%, No New GeForce Until 2027
NVIDIA has cut GPU shipments to board partners by 15-20% amid a crushing GDDR7 shortage, and leakers say no new GeForce cards are coming until 2027. The RTX 3060 is being resurrected to fill the gap.
