Nvidia RTX 50 graphics card prices remain high due to increased memory demand from the AI industry.
The PC gaming world this week sees several notable developments, with perhaps the most intriguing being the ongoing price surge of Nvidia RTX 50 graphics cards. As reported by PCGamesN, rather than declining, the prices of these GPUs have increased significantly. This is attributed to an unprecedented demand for memory components driven largely by advancements and investment in artificial intelligence technologies. Normally, one would expect the prices to decrease over a year after release, but the AI memory boom is creating an unusual market condition.
In other news, the release of the much-anticipated “Dawn of War 4” has been delayed. According to PCGamesN, KING Art, the developers behind the game, have announced a new release date of December 3rd. The team cited the need for additional time to refine the game experience, which means fans of the “Warhammer 40K” series will have to wait a bit longer for the next installment.
On the subject of game updates, Digital Extremes, developers of “Warframe,” are working on “Soulframe,” as detailed in RockPaperShotgun. This fantasy RPG is looking to differentiate itself from “Warframe,” leveraging both its lineage and influence from titles like “Elden Ring.” This makes “Soulframe” a project to watch, especially as the gaming landscape for live service models faces increasing challenges.
Elsewhere, notable game announcements include Sam Barlow’s reveal of “Precognition,” a new sci-fi horror game in collaboration with filmmaker Brandon Cronenberg, reported by RockPaperShotgun. The game is set in a dystopian future and involves a protagonist with brain implants witnessing various potential dark futures. This partnership adds a unique twist to the expected horror gaming experience.
Lastly, a classic title makes a return as Aspyr Media has resurrected “The Lord of the Rings: War in the North” with a new Legacy Edition, after it was delisted in 2019. GamingOnLinux reports that this re-release provides fans of this action RPG another chance to experience Middle-earth adventures.
In terms of game updates, “Helldivers 2” has rolled out its “Devoid of Liberty” update, adding new enemy types and revamping NPC troops, as mentioned by RockPaperShotgun. This update aims to enrich the existing gameplay with fresh challenges for the players.
