The first thing you notice about the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is the AniMe lights. The pixelated LEDs (also found on devices like the ROG Phone 9), flowing in a rhythm from a back strip like a scar streaked dashingly across a warrior’s eye, let you know what you’re in for before you even […]

The CEO of Nvidia Admits What Everybody Is Afraid of About AI
This week, Nvidia became the first company in history to be worth $4 trillion. It’s a number so large it’s almost meaningless, more than the entire economy of Germany or the United Kingdom.

Nvidia GeForce Now Steam Deck Review: The Best Way to Play AAA PC Games on Handheld
As much as I treasure the Steam Deck as my closest gaming companion, the handheld’s limitations will inevitably become more stark with time.

Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs launch has been fraught, to say the least.

Donald Trump’s tariff regime keeps getting less and less robust.

CoreWeave Is at the Center of the AI Revolution, and Its IPO looks Like a House of Cards
Today, CoreWeave began trading on the stock market, and it is looking like an inauspicious start for the AI sector. The company had initially hoped to sell shares for $47 to $55 a piece, but began trading at $39 despite being propped up by Nvidia with a massive $250 million order at $40 per share. […]
The Nvidia RTX 5060 Could Be Delayed Until April at the Earliest
Those hoping to finally see Nvidia’s lower-end graphics cards in-person—or at least see a pretty picture next to the dreaded words “out of stock”—may need to wait several weeks more. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti may not be around this month, as previously expected. The rumor points to further delays from […]
