NVIDIA will support Windows 10 into late 2026
NVIDIA has answered a question that many people have been mulling over. It is now very well known that Windows 10 reaches the end of its life in October this year – although there is the option of extending support for up to year. But what of the software that runs on Windows 10?
Some companies – including Microsoft – have indicated when some of their software will no longer be supported on Windows 10, and now NVIDIA has shared some important information. The company has revealed to gamers how it intends to handle support for Windows 10 Game Ready drivers.
Nvidia becomes world’s most valuable public company at $4 trillion
Nvidia has become the world’s first public company to hit a $4 trillion market valuation, marking a major milestone in the tech and finance industries.
Reuters reports the tech giant’s shares climbed to a record high of $164 on Wednesday, driven by continued investor enthusiasm around AI and its dominant role in powering that growth.
What does Nvidia's palm-sized AI supercomputer, DGX Spark, really mean for the future of AI development at the edge?
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s now-famous GTC 2025 reveal where he held up a palm-sized AI supercomputer and likened it to the original DGX-1 “with Pym particles” wasn’t just a show of engineering flair.
The DGX Spark, as it’s now officially called, marks a turning point in how we think about AI infrastructure. For the first time, Nvidia’s Grace Blackwell superchip architecture has been distilled into a 1.2kg box that fits on a desktop, priced accessibly for research teams and small-scale deployments.
Linux users, rejoice! CachyOS fixes Nvidia issues and kills buggy browser
CachyOS is back with its latest May 2025 release, and yes, Nvidia users can finally breathe a sigh of relief. After months of headaches caused by the distro switching to the “open” Nvidia module, older GPUs like the 10xx series were left limping along with buggy Nouveau drivers. That mess is now cleaned up. The ISO now automatically detects your GPU and loads the correct driver.
The changes don’t stop there, folks. If you’re into aesthetics, the boot process just got a fresh coat of paint. There’s a new Plymouth boot animation and GRUB theme that help unify the distro’s visual identity. It’s a small touch, but it makes a difference.
CachyOS February 2025 release is here to make Arch Linux more accessible
CachyOS fans, get ready -- this first release of 2025 (download ISO here) was definitely worth the wait. The team held off until NVIDIA’s latest driver was available to make sure users with Blackwell-based 50xx series GPUs had a seamless experience. Now, with the 570 driver in place, Blackwell support is fully integrated.
For those unfamiliar, CachyOS is an Arch Linux-based distribution that focuses on performance and optimization. It builds on the power of Arch while adding aggressive compiler optimizations, a user-friendly setup, and custom tweaks designed to get the most out of modern hardware.
Newegg RTX 50 Series launch shows gamers will pay anything for the latest GPU
Newegg’s launch of NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs was nothing short of a frenzy, with stock selling out in minutes as gamers rushed to secure the latest tech. The retailer has promised restocks as more inventory becomes available, encouraging customers to stay tuned to its social media for updates.
The demand was off the charts. Newegg reported that 18 of its top 25 most-viewed product pages belonged to the RTX 50 Series, proving just how eager buyers were. Searches for “RTX 5080” and “RTX 5090” skyrocketed, making up 9 of the top 10 search terms on the site. Compared to the previous week, searches for these GPUs spiked 25 times. The rush also caused a massive traffic surge, with site visits increasing by as much as 10 times during the launch window.
NVIDIA GeForce NOW disappoints gamers with new 100 hour playtime cap
NVIDIA’s upcoming changes to its GeForce NOW service might come as a disappointment to many gamers, particularly with the introduction of a 100-hour monthly playtime cap for the Performance and Ultimate memberships. Starting in 2025, members will face this limit, which seems like a step backward for a service that has marketed itself as offering seamless and unrestricted cloud gaming. For those accustomed to extensive play sessions, this change could be a serious drawback, raising questions about the true value of the paid tiers.
While NVIDIA claims that 94 percent of current users won’t be impacted by the cap, it’s a shift that feels restrictive and may leave the more dedicated gamers feeling constrained. For those who push beyond the 100-hour mark, the company offers the option to buy 15 extra hours at $2.99 for the Performance tier and $5.99 for the Ultimate tier -- essentially putting a meter on premium gaming.
How strong is Nvidia as an alternative investment?
Alternatives are an increasingly attractive investment opportunity. Why? An alternative investment offers an investor the opportunity to diversify their portfolio and mitigate risk.
A growing trend is investment in the technology sector, this is a good move and an opportunity I have spotted for myself. Technology is a global economic focus, countries, governments and organizations are racing to get up to speed and get ahead of technological innovation. Economic investment is a byproduct of the competition, so it is unwise not to see the investment opportunities here.
CrowdStrike integrates Falcon cybersecurity with NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints to support secure generative AI development
CrowdStrike has announced its integration of the Falcon cybersecurity platform with NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints, aimed at helping developers securely utilize open-source foundational models and accelerate generative AI innovation.
Developing enterprise-grade generative AI applications involves a complex process that requires blueprints for standard workflows—such as customer service chatbots, retrieval-augmented generation, and drug discovery—to streamline development. Ensuring the security of these models and the underlying data is essential for maintaining the performance and integrity of generative AI applications.
NVIDIA overtakes Apple as AI boom propels company value over $3 trillion
With its market value rocketing to $3.1 trillion, NVIDIA has become the second most valuable company in the world. A five percent rise in share prices pushed the chipmaker ahead of Apple, and now there is only Microsoft which is worth more than NVIDIA.
The soaring value of the firm is due in no small part to its heavy involvement and investment in AI. Having started life in the 1990s as a minor player in the graphic chip market, NVIDIA has ridden the artificial intelligence tidal wave.
Microsoft and NVIDIA partner to accelerate healthcare innovation with generative AI and cloud computing
Microsoft is deepening its partnership with NVIDIA to harness the power of generative AI, cloud computing, and accelerated computing for the healthcare and life sciences sectors. This collaboration aims to merge Microsoft Azure's extensive capabilities with NVIDIA DGX Cloud and the NVIDIA Clara suite to spur innovation and enhance patient care in these fields.
The collaboration is set to provide healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device developers with the tools to rapidly innovate across various domains, including clinical research and drug discovery, with increased efficiency and effectiveness.
The thirst for AI could push up GPU prices and leave consumers with less choice
Reports suggest that AMD is so focused on developing AI-related technology that the company is transferring time and resources away from gaming. The switch will not only mean that AMD will lose ground to NVIDIA, but also that there is likely to be an increase in GPU prices.
AMD is said to have scrapped plans to release high-end RDNA 4 generation of graphics cards -- so the Radeon RX 8800 and 8900 may well not see the light of day next year. The decision is believed to stem from AMD's desire to better compete with NVIDIA in the AI arena by refocusing its semiconductor resources.
