NVIDIA CEO claims that the company is nowhere close to meeting the GPU demand
In an interview with TechCrunch, NVIDIA’s CEO Jensen Huang revealed that the green team is currently nowhere close to meeting the huge GPU demand. This appears to be an honest comment as both AMD and NVIDIA cannot keep up with the huge GPU demands these days, especially since all cryptocurrency miners acquiring each and every graphics card they can get their hands on. Continue reading NVIDIA CEO claims that the company is nowhere close to meeting the GPU demand

Third-party GPU manufacturers have removed the ‘gaming’ brand label from their AMD graphics cards
Earlier this month, HardOCP published a really interesting story about NVIDIA’s GPP program. According to HardOCP’s sources, this program prohibited – among other things – third-party GPU manufacturers to use their gaming brand label on both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs.
