Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super
LONG AGO, before the reign of the Supers, there was a graphics card. It was bold, gauche, and built with the blood of a Titan, with gaming in mind. Its heart was near identical to the goliath it was born from, yet it lacked the memory, spirit, absolute architectural majesty, and subsequent price tag of its Titanic kin.

Why are graphics drivers so hard?
GRAPHICS DRIVERS ARE HARD. That isn't news. Recently, however, Intel revealed details on its efforts to get its Arc GPUs running really fast. This candor makes me hopeful for its next-gen Battlemage graphics, which could appear this year. The takeaway is that Intel isn't giving up on Arc, and there are reasons to think that Battlemage might just be the bomb.
AMD's RX 7900 GRE goes worldwide
WE SHOULD BE PRETTY MUCH done with new GPU launches from AMD and Nvidia for this generation, barring the possibility of something like a desktop RTX 4050. Both companies have a range of cards priced from around $250 up to $1,600 or more. But with Nvidia's recently released 40-series Super models, AMD didn't look quite as competitive as before.
