It's a familiar story by now. With Samsung reportedly increasing its DRAM prices by around 20 percent for the ongoing quarter, NVIDIA felt it had no choice but to raise the prices of its consumer graphics cards, constituting the third such inflationary episode so far this year, one that has purportedly emptied store shelves as distributors enter a full-on panic mode. Unlike NVIDIA's price hike in May, the current inflationary episode has reportedly impacted a lot more consumer-facing graphics card models, spurring empty store shelves as rumors ran rampant According to Taiwan's Economic Daily, NVIDIA has increased the prices of […]

We review the ASRock Rack 4U16X-GNR2, an 8x NVIDIA HGX B300 server with enormous network bandwidth and two liquid-cooling options
The post ASRock Rack 4U16X-GNR2 NVIDIA HGX B300 8-GPU Server Review appeared first on ServeTheHome.
NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 series has introduced various architectural improvements, but one change that caught the attention of hardware enthusiasts wasn't related to the gaming performance or AI capabilities. Instead, it was related to the temperature monitoring on the RTX 50 series graphics cards. Unlike previous-generation RTX GPUs, NVIDIA removed the GPU hotspot measurement from the GPUs, even though the sensor for these cards exists. This prevented monitoring software from displaying the hottest point on the GPU die, which has served enthusiasts, reviewers, and overclockers for years and helped them learn about GPU behavior. This has been discussed across various […]

GPU prices in China have increased massively due to recent adjustments to GDDR6 and GDDR7 memory, affecting AMD & NVIDIA graphics cards. China Sees Big Surge In GPU Prices Overnight, Affecting Both AMD & NVIDIA Graphics Cards GPU makers such as NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel have been trying to absorb memory price increases for a while now, but they have gotten out of hand due to persistent shortages, which have raised the DRAM costs for GDDR6 and GDDR7 products 10-fold, resulting in a significant increase in graphics card prices. And it's not just memory prices; other components that go into […]

Running higher-quality AI models means your existing GPU will have to be equipped with a ton of VRAM to make the experience enjoyable. For one RTX 4080 owner, playing the most visually taxing and graphically demanding games might be a walk in the park, but for running LLMs, it’s a Herculean task. Wanting to accomplish both feats in a single gaming PC, a modder successfully ran NVIDIA’s Tesla V100 in his system, but encountered a few challenges along the way. Adding the Tesla V100 grants the modder 32GB of usable VRAM, sufficient for running significantly improved AI models like Qwen 3.6 […]

NVIDIA Corporation is significantly reducing the memory used by its Vera Rubin NV72 rack-scale AI system in order to address the high prices and the ongoing memory shortage, according to an analysis from GF Securities. The courage followed after NVIDIA signed long term memory agreements ahead of the shortage in the memory industry which allowed it to weather the storm that most technology companies had to face due to the production constraints stemming from high demand. Reducing Memory Capacity Can Allow NVIDIA To Cut Rubin NVL72 Rack Costs By Nearly 50%, Says Report NVIDIA's Vera Rubin NVL72 racks are among […]

NVIDIA's Jensen Huang has just penned his first post on X, advocating for open-weight AI models as the Trump administration mulls steps to thwart China's AI labs from leapfrogging by distilling US frontier models. Huang's advocacy is somewhat self-serving, though, especially as open-weight AI models are only expected to increase the overall demand for compute, including GPUs, while NVIDIA has done all it can over the past few years to maintain and extend its CUDA moat. NVIDIA's Jensen Huang used his inaugural post on X to advocate for open-weight AI models Jensen Huang has just posted a letter that has […]
