Microsoft's patent aims to utilize ray tracing in ways similar to how LOD (level of detail) is handled in 3D environments.

Leaker @kopite7kimi has brought more information on the VRAM configuration of NVIDIA's upcoming RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPUs, which does indeed contain a 512-bit version.

It looks like 512-bit VRAM might not be happening after all for the next-gen NVIDIA RTX 50 series GPUs.

Demand is so great for GPUs with sufficient VRAM for AI workloads, modifications were made to RTX 2080 Ti GPUs to double its VRAM to 22GB, sold as a cheaper offering over NVIDIA's current flagship GPUs.

A year after the introduction of GDDR6, Samsung has now completed the design of the next-generation graphics RAM - the impressive GDDR7.

NVIDIA's RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is out - but the company chose not to promote this new card whatsoever.

Samsung is the first DRAM manufacturer to announce GDDR7 to the market - with significant speed boosts compared to GDDR6/GDDR6X modules.

Given that RTX 4060 Ti 8GB is already a bit of a dud in the GPU market right now, AIB partners are reluctant to promote the upcoming 16GB version which only differs in VRAM capacity.

A modded RTX 3070 with 16GB of VRAM sees huge improvements in 1% and 0.1% lows.

TrendForce expects DRAM pricing to further drop another 10-15% on average in the next quarter this year.
