    Maybe Nvidia should have waited to ‘launch’ RTX 5090 and 5080?

    Even if you managed to buy one — statistically, you couldn’t — owners have discovered Valorant and ARK Survival Evolved can crash on launch due to driver issues, with Valorant developer Riot blaming Nvidia. Some are reporting performance mode crashes with Fortnite and “unknown error” crashes with PUBG too.

    Meanwhile, Overclockers has become the second UK retailer to say: some RTX 5090 buyers may not receive their cards until May. Japanese retailer PC Studio has also apologized for the injuries at its raffle ticket sale.

    Intel is canceling Falcon Shores, its next big AI chip.

    “I am not happy with where we are today,” Intel interim co-CEO Michelle Johnston Holthaus says of the company’s AI server business on today’s earnings call, a business which has not met its promises with Gaudi.

    So, says Holthaus, Intel will “simplify our roadmap and concentrate our resources” by canceling Falcon Shores. We plan to leverage Falcon Shores as an internal test chip only without bringing it to market.” It’ll focus on Jaguar Shores, a “system-level solution at rack scale,” instead.

    Intel foundries lost $13 billion last year, but its losses are no longer historic

    YouTube is giving the RTX 5080 so much side-eye.

    The sheer volume of these cracked me up, so I just had to make a little gallery for you (tap the arrows to cycle through).

    Guess that’s what Nvidia gets when it goes from 40–50 percent gains each generation to more like 15 percent! Here’s our own RTX 5080 review.

    Orca Slicer rejects Bambu Connect: “We encourage Bambulab to reconsider their current policy.”

    Bambu had originally suggested it was working with the developer of the third-party slicing tool, a stance which the developer rejected. Now, SoftFever says Orca is doing the opposite of working with Bambu, and advises Bambu owners not to upgrade their firmware.

    Read all about Bambu’s controversial change, and its answers to our questions, right here.

    “We advise NOT upgrading their firmware and to keep their printers in LAN-only mode for security reasons.”
