The first phase of Elon Musk’s xAI Memphis Supercluster has just reached full operational capacity as the on-site substation goes online and connects to the main power grid. According to theGreater Memphis Chamber, the site will receive 150 MW from Memphis Light, Gas, and Water (MLGW) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Aside from that, the xAI Colossus supercomputer also boasts another 150 MW of Megapack Batteries that will serve as backup, allowing it to stay powered in case of outages or during times of increased demand....

Zotac is the next AIB partner to adopt Nvidia’s flagship AD102 die-in products other than theRTX 4090, one of thebest graphics cards.CoolPCreports that a highly neutered AD102 powers Zotac’s latest RTX 4070 Ti Super Solid die rather than the AD103 die the4070 Ti Superseries typically utilizes. CoolPC revealed die shots of an RTX 4070 Ti Super Solid OC graphics card against the Zotac RTX 4070 Ti Super AMP Holo and Zotac RTX 4090 Trinity OC....

Nvidia today launched one of the most significant bug-fixing driver updates in GeForce history with the all-newRTX 5060 Ti supportedgame-ready driver update. Driver version 576.02 fixes 40 gaming and general bugs, including black screen and game crashing issues that have been plaguingRTX 50andRTX 40series GPUs over the past several driver updates in the 576-series driver branch. Check out Nvidia’spatch notesfor the full extent of the updates. Gaming-related bug fixes include issues with VSync,DLSS 4,Smooth Motion(a feature exclusive to the RTX 50-series), DLSS Frame Generation, andGSync, as well as a few bug fixes for generic game crashes....

Nvidia RTX Blackwell cards aren’t just for gaming. Hopefully, that’s no surprise, and that sort of statement has been true about every Nvidia GPU architecture dating back to the original Quadro cards in 2000. The professional and content creator features present in Nvidia GPUs have increased significantly, targeting video and photo editing, 3D rendering,audio, and more. As with so many other features of the Blackwell architecture, many of the latest developments will be powered by AI....

Nvidia’sCES2025 presentation showed off itsnew RTX 50-series graphics cardsproudly, with the RTX 5090 throughRTX 5070all offering around double the performance of their previous-gen counterparts in the RTX 40-series. Nvidia credited this in its keynote to the brand-new Blackwell architecture. However, a look at Nvidia’sin-house benchmarksreveals that the 2X improvements in games come more from the software suite of DLSS 4 than pure silicon vs. silicon matchups.Deep Learning Super Sampling, or DLSS, has been a tentpole feature in Nvidia’s consumer graphics cards since the RTX 20-series....

Nvidia revealed a host of gaming and technology updates during its livestream atCES2024, including the upcoming RTX 40-series Super models, new daily pass options for GeForce Now, even more ubiquitous AI, enhanced livestreaming tools, and a new Alienware 4K 240 Hz G-Sync OLED display. We’ve got a separate article on the new GPUs, but there’s still plenty of new stuff to cover. GeForce Now gets Ultimate and Priority tier day passes GeForce Now remains one of the best game streaming options, with the Ultimate tier providing access to roughly the equivalent of an RTX 4080 in the cloud for $19....

Nvidia’s long-rumored and long-delayedN1XSoC has broken cover once again, this time revealing its GPU capabilities through a freshGeekbench OpenCL listing. We’ve seen various CPU-focused leaks surrounding this chip before, but this provides our first genuine look at the GPU. That being said, this isn’t final silicon—it’s an early engineering sample—but the details are enough to show where Nvidia is headed with its first consumer-class ARM SoC for laptops and possibly desktops....

What do you get when you combine one of the world’s best overclocking teams with a special BIOS from Nvidia, and a Galax Hall of Fame 5090D with dual 16-pin power connectors? New world records in a number ofbenchmarks, that’s what. In this case,WCCFTech reportsthat team OGS broke records in Unigine Superposition, 3DMark Port Royal, and GPUPI, not to mention pushing the GPU to the highest clocks we’ve ever seen to manage it....

Whether it be due toconnection problems,faulty headers, orBIOS conflicts, sometimes your liquid CPU cooler’s radiator fan may stop spinning. In such cases, your CPU can’t cool down efficiently and willstart overheating. To fix your radiator fans,inspect the hardware components and connections carefully, thengo through the fan settings on the BIOS. You may even have toreset or update the BIOSif it is a new radiator. Let’s discuss all these solutions in detail....

Igalia, the free software consultancy perhaps best known for its work on the Raspberry Pi’s GPU, has revealed that it is investigating NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) emulation for ARM64 devices. The investigations have so far yielded a potential and significant performance uplift for the Raspberry Pi 5, discussed on aLinux kernel list viaa message from Tvrtko Ursulin. The patch details were posted to the mailing list, and it appears to be around 100 lines in length....

We’ve seen our fair share ofRaspberry Piprojects over the years but it is rare that we come across projects aimed at the medical field. Today we have a really cool and well-designed open-sourcecardiography signal measuring deviceput together by maker and developer Milos Rasic. Using our favorite microcontroller, theRaspberry Pi Pico, he’s managed to create a working system completely from scratch. According to Rasic, the project was created with a few specific goals in mind....

Many makers like to integrate Lego into theirRaspberry Piprojects, and today we’ve got a beautiful example to share of such a collaboration. Maker, author and developer Sean McManus is using our favorite SBC to transform aLego retro radio kitinto a working music player that utilizes much of the original hardware for control. To pull this off, McManus was able to put a full sized Raspberry Pi 3B+ inside the Radio along with some additional hardware to play music....
