+25The Aorus RTX 4090 Master is the biggest GPU we've ever seen
Gigabyte’s Aorus RTX 4090 Master is the biggest GPU we’ve ever seen. We don’t yet know the full specs of this GeForce RTX 4090 model, but we do know we’re going to need a very large case to house this beast. This is a monster unit. It needs four slots all to itself on a motherboard. It comes with three 11 cm fans. It is 35.8 cm (14.1 inches) long and 16.2 cm (6.4 inches) wide, meaning we could literally stack several smaller RTX cards inside of it and still have some room to spare. Videocardz.com did the math and determined they could fit 10 Radeon RX 6400 cards inside.

+22Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti leak reveals specs from ‘unlaunched’ RTX 4080
A new leak could confirm rumors that Nvidia’s planning on releasing the “unlaunched” 12GB RTX 4080 graphics card as the RTX 4070 Ti. The company briefly posted the specs for its upcoming RTX 4070 Ti GPU on its website, but Twitter user @momomo_us managed to snag a screenshot before Nvidia pulled the page down. So far, the leaked specs look identical to that of the 12GB RTX 4080, with the chip sporting 7,680 CUDA cores, a 2.61 GHz boost clock, and 12GB of memory.

+19How video games came out of the basement – and ate up Hollywood
At the end of Todd Field’s multi-Oscar-nominated film Tár, Cate Blanchett’s “cancelled” conductor is consigned to a fate worse than unemployment: leading the orchestra at a fancy-dress concert for fans of Monster Hunter, the popular fantasy video game. Blanchett herself, on the other hand, had arrived on the set of Tár fresh from the Hungary set of Borderlands, a forthcoming video-game-inspired film.

+21Is Starfield delayed or not?
Let’s just cut to the chase. Is Starfield delayed? Officially, no. And to be fair to Microsoft and Bethesda Game Studios, they already told us we wouldn’t be hearing anything out of Todd Howard’s next epic role-playing game during Wednesday’s Developer Direct showcase. There’s going to be a stand-alone showcase for Starfield at some point. It’s still one hell of an elephant not in the room, especially if two of the four games shown — Redfall and The Elder Scrolls Online’s Necrom expansion — are big Bethesda projects launching in May and June, respectively.

Luke Stark, an assistant professor at Western University, in Canada, told WIRED at the time that he considered the policy change a PR tactic because the company’s VR push would likely lead to the expanded collection of physiological data and raise new privacy concerns.

Sony Group will ramp up R&D spending in its game business, as it seeks to hone technology in live service games and the emerging field of "extended reality" that blends physical and digital worlds.

+24NVIDIA RTX Titan Ada: Four-slot and full AD102 graphics card shelved after melting PSUs
Reportedly, NVIDIA was developing an even more powerful version of the GeForce RTX 4090. Billed as the Titan Ada or the RTX 4090 Ti, the graphics card is thought to be a whopping four slots thick and requires twin 16-pin power connectors. Supposedly, NVIDIA has ceased development though, with multiple reasons spelling the end of the Titan Ada for now.
